WOUNDED TROOPS
SAVED FROM SEA

A lifeboat loaded with troops from
the transport Northern Pacific,
wrecked at Fire Island, N. Y, was
capsized by the heavy surf, throwing
fifteen soldiers and lifesavers into the
water All were saved.
One soldier and three lifesavers
were caught under the boat. Life
guards on shore rushed into the surf
and after rescuing the others, dragged
the boats to the beach, where the four
who were unconscious were revived.
SHIP ON SANDBAR
After an unsuccessful attempt had
been made to drag the transport from
the sandbar on which she grounded,
navy officials announced plans for re-
moving the 2,480 troops to vessels
standing by.
Three officers and one soldier, all
wounded, were landed just before
noon. They came ashore in coast
guard boat. Four more lifeboats full
Of men followed soon.
Both the wounded and we'll soldiers
are being transferred both to rescuing
vessels and the shore in small boats.
Constant pounding of the seas
against the transport has driven the
ship higher onto the beach, swinging
her bow so she was only ESQ yards
from the shore.
Waves heavier than those which
wedged her tightly into the sandbar
are breaking over the transport, and
the wind is blowing unfavorably from
the southwest.
Twelve cruisers, destroyers ana 9TH
er rescue ships maintained vigil
throughout the night in a semi-circle
mile outside the bar. At dawn they
prepared for day of maneuyering
about the stranded vessel. Fresh
coast guard crews replaced the ones
which spent the night near the
breeches buoy which could not be
used, and are in constant semaphore
communication with the transport.
Twenty Red Cross nurses with food
and supplies landed on Fire Island
ready to care for any troops which
might be brought ashore. The nurses
were accompanied by Camp Upton
soldiers to be used to aid the coast
guard men.

he meant that if majority of ballots

FARNUM SCORES BIG
 HIT ON BROADWAY

William Farnum, versatile, virile and popular Fox star, scored the greatest success of his career in The Last of the Duanes," the William Fox film version of Zane Grey's famous story, at the Cen tral theatre, where he opened to n crowded house last Sunday. Broadway welcomed the arrival of this accomplished star in one of the masterfuI interpreta- tions for which he is known in every civilized country. The press acclaimed his portrayal of the role of Buck Duane as one of the finest and most daring bits of acting that ever graced a screen. Tho audience applauded literally throughout the performance.
 Buck Duane is one of the really big roles in the silent drama. It calls upon William Farnum for his best, and only Farnum who could bring to the part all of the force that Zane Grey put into one of his most sensa ational characters.
 The settings of The Last of the Duanes' are beautiful. J. Gordon Ed wards, the director, has produced a pie ture worthy of the story. The support afforded the star is fine. and at times brilliant The photography won favorable criticism; and, taken as whole, the pro duction has registered on skepticaI Broadway the film sensation of the sea son Up to date.

the Jefferson next Friday and Saturday with matinee Saturday.
 The unique record of success achieved by this comedy is in part attributed to it's delicious simplicity and lightness and to the incom parable manner in which MT Belasco has cast and staged it.
 Reported to be full of bright, snappy and breezy humor, "The Boomerang tells of the adventures of love-lorn youth, suffering all of the bangs of cor roding jealousy. He is dragged by his anxious mother to the office of a young physician to be treated for nervous pros tration. This doctor, it seems, has a very fine opinion of his own Knowledge of hu- man nature. especially with regard to the passions of love and jealousy. He under takes to effect cure by putting the pa tient in the care of a very attractive young nurse. She, in turn, has been very carefully coached in the affairs of the heart. obeying the doctors instruc- tions so carefully that she causes him to fall unconsciously an arrant victim of his own teaching. It is a comedy filled with charm and rich in humor, and, above all else, so human.
 The original New York production will be seen here and the sterling cast in- cludes such players as Robert Connesss Harry Hayden, James Ward, Carlton Rivers, George Spelvin, Lillian Concord. Devah Morel Mark Elizabeth, Helen strickland and others.
