ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT
STORY OF MACE BEING
PRISONER ON U-BOAT

Aver. Mass, May "a class in
mathematics was conducted at the
trial Of Paul L. Mace at Camp Dew
ems today. when military authorities
attempted to break down Nace's
story that he was a prisoner on q
German submarine and at a subma-
rine base in South AAmerica. from
May "a to Oct. Is, 1918. He is charged
with being absent without leave.
Mace was cross-eXamined for five
hours and did not once digress from,
the account he gave yesterday Of his
experiences.
The soldier testified yesterday that
Germans captured him because one
of their agents, Rudolph Greghorn,
knew that he had drawn plans for a
superior type Of airplane Lieut.. E..
H. Ziegler. trial judge advocate,
questioned Mace at length today
upon his knowledge Of mathematics.
The government claims that he is
unacquainted with the knowledge Of
higher mathematics necessary for a
man to design airplanes and motors
Lieut.. Ziegler asked Mace questions
concerning algebra, geometry and
trigonometry. Mace could not an
swer many Of these questions, al
though he displayed some knowledge
Of the subjects.
He said that he had enough knowl-
edge Of mathematics so that with
the aid Of his practical experience as
a marine machinist, he was able to
make mathematical drawings Of ma
chirery and to design airplanes. He
said he had been employed as a
marine machinist at the Ingersoll
Milling Co. Of Rockford. ILL.,, at the
Cramp shipyards. Philadelphia. and
at the Fore River yards Of the Beth
lehem Shipbuilding Corporation.
His cross-examination will be re-
suned Monday.

The wonderful manner in which
thoughts can be expressed in dances
was never seen to more ADVANTAGE
than at the dance recital and recep-
ton of the pupils of Mabel King
Fox given on Friday evening at City
ball before a large audience. II was
an unusually brilliant scene. the
beautifully decorated nall forming a
picturesque background for rhe dance
numbers. The young people. about
$50 IN number. representing three of
Mrs. Fox's classes in this city and
one in Gardiner. We're most pleasing
and presented varied program
which comprised nearly all STYLES OF
dancing from the aesthetic to the
rodern ball room dances.
Each of the dance numbers was
little different. There were numbers
representing national Dances, in
terpretive dances and the very
modern dances. and in each of these
the youn. folks showed that they
had made the most of their oppor-
tuEity and had become proficient.
Ard the entire program reflected
great credit upon Mrs. Fox.
The decoration OF the hall was es
pecially pretty. The stage was a
bank Of evergreen. fir and palms.
while all around the hall were toy
balloons of all colors of the rain
bow-something new in the line OF
decorating. Music was furnished by
Dennis orchestra Of 10 pieces and
every selection was particularly suit
ed for its dance.
The reception of classes was first
in order. The grand march was led
by Master Atwood Lawrence of Gar
diner. who is five years old, and
Miss Marjorie Gray of this city, aged
four and half. They were the
youngest couple on the floor and
certainly received their share of at
tention from an appreciative audi
ence. Part I of the program con-
sisted of an exhibition of ball room
dancing - camoufiage one-step. by
High school pupils: American fox
trot. by second grade class: Liberty
waltz. by High school pupils: one
step. fox trot and waltz by the little
tots: and Tickle Toe fox trot by the
second grade class. And this dem
onstration of the up-to- date dances
was accorded warm applause.

dainty dance from Fairyland," de-
scribed the dance executed by little
Miss Edith Stebbins, who wore a
white brilliant costume and was very
dainty and sweet.
Misses Virginia Hall. Virginia Hol-
way and Ruth Hazelwood then ap-
peared in dance entitled 'The
Swallow" described as a flying dance,
depicting the swallows darting in
zigzag flight and swooping down to
the water to hover there for an in
slant. 1t was a very captivating
number. the young ladies' being cos
tuned in gray and white as repre-
sensations of swallows and with
wings upon which were painted
swallows.

next number. In this was pictured a

The dance, executed by. Misses Alice
Hayes and Ruth Stewart. introduced the
element Of comedy and was much en-
doyed. The dancers wore Dutch cos
