FRIDAY EVENING,
tions to the troops. It was drawn from
the lessons of the battle by General
Count Von Arnlm, the corps command
er, who has been fighting opposite the
British throughout the offensive. This
, long detailed revelation of the inner
thoughts of the German staff discusses
| the methods and shortcomings of every
branch of the German army In view
of the unexpected power and organiza
tion the British have shown. The
document starts out by paying a trib
ute to the British Infantry, "which un
doubtedly has learned much since last
autumn's offensive."
"It shows great dash in attack," the
document continues. "The Englishman
also has physique and training in his
favor. One must acknowledge the skill
of the English in rapidly consolidating
capt\jred positions and! their great ten
acity In the defense of them."
Breeches Clogged With Dirt
Because of breech actions ft so many
German rlfiea have been closed with
dirt. General Von Arnlm suggests In
the document that it would be advis
able to fit a cover over the breech of
the rifles, like that used In the British
army, which can be easily unfastened
and then hangs from the rifle;
Explicit instructions are given in the
document to the artillery to change
their methods of placing batteries in
villages and behind steep slopes, be
cause of the British method of distri
bution of their artillery Are, which pro
digally searches ail obvious shelters.
Owing the the terrific concentration
of the British artillery Are, says the
document, front lines of trenches should
be thinly held and dependence placed
on small groups of machine gunners.
Once the British lay a curtain of fire
on a trench, it adds, the men had bet
ter evacuate it and lie down in the
open.
Telephone System Inadequate
Most Interesting to the oftlcors, In
view of the fact that tho British have
so consistently held ground they have
I taken against counterattack, is what
I General Von Arnlm says on the subject.
"If counterattacks, which on account
of the situation ought to be methodical
ly prepared, are hurried, they cost much
| blood, because the troopj lose their
trust In the leaders if they fall, which
nearly always happens," says General
Von Arnlm.
He then complains that tho "existing
telephone system has proved totally in
adequate In consequence of the develop
j .uent of the fighting,' and says the ar
| tlllery signal system broken down. The
commander asserts that he has dis-
I covered that British aeroplanes . use
| sound signals to tell gunners where
i their shells are falling, and says the
fobrth corps already has started ex
| pertinent on the same kind of method
as a complement to the wireless, which
is frequently Interrupted.
British Airmen Bold
"The numerical superiority of the
British :0c men and the fact that their
maqhlnes were better made Is disagree
ably apparent to us," General Von Arn
im says, and he speaks of the sur
prisingly bold procedure of their air
men. who were often "able to fire suc
cessfully on our troops with machine
; guns by descending to within a few
hundred feet of tho ground. He adds
; that the Gorman anti-aircraft guns
i could not continue firing at that height
, "without exposing their own troops to
| tlie serious danger of Bhell fragments."
Before the battle of the Sommo air
; men kept at anywhere from six thou
sand to twelve thousand feet over the
! lines on account of anti-aircraft guii-
I flro.
General Von Arnlm In the document
warns his Infantry to use their rifled
against these daring British aviators.
He says that the ammunition supply
and the artillery are Inadequate and
that maps wore Insufficient In quantity
and bad as regards details. Also the
supply of horses has reached the ut
most limit. Of the food supply Gen
eral Von Arnlm says:
Plenty of Four
"No special difficulties arose. The
supply columns proved sufficient." But
ha emphasizes the Importance of min
eral waters and beverages, which the
British have always found plentiful In
raptured German trenches, and says
that the troopß cannot have too much
of all kinds of sausages and meat when
lighting. Dried herring are unsatlsfac-

Ilolllday" "Hit-the-Trall-Holllday"
is a timely American com
edy, with the principal character beat
ing a strong resemblance to a celebrat
ed evangelist. The central idea of the
play was suggested to Mr. Cohan by
George Mlddleton and Guy Bolton, but
the play Itself is entirely the work oi
Mr. Cohan, who has already given th
American stage such successes as "Get-
Rick-Quick Wallingford," "Broadway
Jones," '"Seven Keys to Baldpate," ana
others.
There are few dramatic offerings that
can boast of a two years' continuous
run In Broadway, but
"Peir o' "Peg o' My Heart" Is one
My Heart" of these and will be the
attraction at the Or
pheum for two days, Friday and Satur
day, October 13 and 14, with dally
matinees. This is a play that lias a
plausible story in which laughter and
tears are deftly mingled and has also
for its central character, one of the
sweetest heroines. "Peg 1 is an unspoil
ed, irresponsible bit of a girl whom
chance throws in the way of a haughty,
unnatural family. They are so unlike
her that she is made very unhappy, but
in the last act, through the man who
has won her love, her smiles return.
The most recent picture of Fritz
Krelsler, the unrivalled master of the
violin, who will give a
Krelsler on benefit recital at the Or-
Mutriiuony " pheum, next Wednesday
evening, October 11, for
the Harrisburg S. P. C. A., shows him
with his young and attractive wife.
It is one of those domestic, "homey"
photographs, that might be any hum
arum happy young couple, rather than
a musical genius and the woman wliu
inspires him to his highest endeavor.
One has becomo so accustomed to the
tempestuous and progressive marryings
of our famous actors and musicians
that instability in affairs of the heart
seems a penalty of the artistic tempera
ment.
It Is refreshing, therefore, to find
Krelsler, though unquestionably In the
genius class, come out strongly for the
happy home and "the one little woman
in the world for me."
Mr. Kreisler, who opens his season
of 1916-1917 In Harrisburg, comes from
his "beautiful home life" on Mt. Desert
Island. As he himself announced, "It
tends to the highest form of achieve
ment," he may be expeoted to break
his own wonderful record for enthrall
ing his hearers.
After a restful and happy summer,
Mr. Krelsler's well known generosity
in the matter of encores will not fall
him. Anyone who has a special favor
ite he would like to hear played, may
send the name of it—in writing—to
John T. Olmsted, president of the S. P.
C. A., and the request will be submit
ted to Mr. Krelsler. In the great ova
tion to the violinist last season. th
encores were among the most delight
ful part of his program.
A Charlie Chaplin picture, "Tho
Pawnshop," Is the fun feature of the
program at the Regent
Chaplin and to-day and to-morrow.
Illille Iturke 'The Pawnshop" is
at Regent Chaplin's latest release
and the Regent Theater
has first and exclusive presentation in
this city. Chaplin cavorts with custom
ary ludicrousness and proves himself
to be the same old laugh-getter. In this
comedy Mr. Chaplin is supported by
Edna Purviance, who appears in the
role of the pawnbroker's daughter, re
cipient of vast attentions from Charlie,
the clerk and assistant.
In addition to Chaplin, there la a
second attractive star in Billie Burke,
appearing in the sixteenth chapter of
"Gloria's Romance," entitled "A Modern
Pirate." Gloria proves to be relentless
in her pursuit of the mysterious mur
derer. Gloria, who had escaped from
the barge, returns home and qnllsts the
aid of her father, Dr. Royce and the
Stafford yacht In following the fugi
tive.
The question is now being settled by
those who witnessed the rival Fashion
Shows at the Majestic as to
At the which is the superior. Large
Majestic crowds turned out yesterday
to see the Bowman-Majestic
Fashion Review, and the many favor
able remarks that were heard concern
ing the Review should make any Har
rlsburger feel proud of the fact that
a local store carries such an array of
wonderful garments as are seen in this
style display. The entire act has been
changed since the beginning of the
week It has been many a day since
Harrlsburgers have looked at such
beautiful lingerie as Is displayed on
the Majesttc stage, and there Is little
wonder that mtladv casts envious
glances towards the footlights. Com
pleting the bill are: The International
Four, a quartet of male singers, who
furnish excellent harmony; Oene and
Delia Muller, in a spectacular hoop
rolling and boomerang throwing act.
Tory, as they Increase thirst. Alcoholic
drinks need not be served out to the
troops In dry, warm weather, but
solidified alcohol for cooking warm
meals has proved useful.
Fresh troops, says the document,
should always be used for attack. They
should avoid sunken roads and natural
cover, as the British with their plenti
ful gunfire are sure to have these
points registered by their guns and
turn loose on thom Immediately an
attack starts. General Von Arnim em
phasizes the value of the steel helmets
which the French first Introduced and
with which the Germans are not yet
fully supplied.
As an Idea of the amount of am
munition such battle conditions as those
of the Somme require, General Von
Arnim says that a battery of four field
funs should have 2200 rounds at the
battery Itself, aside from its reserve
supply. Indeed, General Von Arnlm's
cr;y is for more guns, aeroplanes and
ammunition—everything except food.

William S. Hart will be seen at the
Colonial Theater to-day only, in a re
turn engagement of
"The Cnptlve "The Captive God,"
Goil" lit pronounced by many lo
the Colonial be Mr. Hart's best
screen production.
Owing to the very bad weather when
this picture was shown at the Colonial,
] several weeks ago, many people who
i failed to see it have requested that it
l be repeated for one day 'in order that
! they may have a chance to witness it.
; The picture is staged in Mexico In the
> early days when the Aztecs were the
| ruling power, and deals with a little
| Spanish boy, who was cast upon the
I shores, and found by the Aztecs, who,
having never seen a white person, |
make him their God. In later years hn
marries the chief's daughter, a part
played by Enid Markey. For a good,
hearty laugh, the Keystone players will
be on the same program In a new two

as well as the small folks, a new com
edy will be shown on the same pro

World's Series ball games are being
played the pictures will be suspended,
which will be from about 1:15 p. m. to
