Paris Bootblack Can Tell
Where Troops Come From
Quantico. Va.-—What section of
the trenches do you hail from ■
That's a hard question to answer, it
you don't happen to know, and
there's only one man in the world
who can look at you and tell, accord
ing to latest reports from the United
States Marines in Prance.
A prophet? No just a plain, ordi
nary human being—and what's more,
all he needs to see is your feet! To
be Sure, he's only a bootblack, but.
nevertheless, he's the acknowledged |
"nmd specialist" of Paris.
A letter received here to-day from ;
an overseas marine states: "While |
awaiting my turn in the 'specialists |
parlor recently, I observed a Prench
•soldier getting his boots polished.
The man examined the mud on the
Prenchnian's boots and immediately
told him he was from Verdun. "Oui,
certainment," this Poilu said, much
surprised. Then the 'mud doctor
gave me the once over and said:
'And you, monsieur, are from B- '
He certainly hit the nail on the
head. He has made a study of what
he calls mud culture, and is consid
ered one of the highest specialized
persons in Paris."

OF IRISH LEADER

friends knew the physical tortures
he endured while serving his coun
try in that trying position. >■*<
Worked to Last
Mr. Redmond's last utterance to
the Premier when he saw him a few
days ago, a broken man, was a plea
for concord between the two races
"that Providence had decided should
work together for the common aims
of humanity."
Former Premier Asquith added
his tribute, saying:
"We in this House, even those
who differed most acutely and deep
ly from him, agree without reserve
or qualification that he was at once
a great parliamentarian and a true
patriot. The House of Commons,
Ireland, Great Britain, the whole
empire is impoverished by his
death."
The death of John Redmond at
the moment when the convention
which is to settle the future of Ire
land is having its most momentous
sessions, is considered in political
circles to be nearly a disaster. Dur
ing the weeks which the Irish con
vention has been busy trying to find
a solution to the Irish problem, to
which he gave his life, Mr. Redmond
exercised a great moderating influ
ence and if, as dispatches from Dub
lin say, there again is a prospect of
agreement, he must be giv.en a great
measure of credit for this state of
affairs.
Mi fact, since he took over the
leadership of the Irish Nationalists
on the retirement of Parnell. Mr.
Redmond has been among those
Irishmen who fought for a settle
ment of the Home Rule question by
parliamentary means and when the
act granting self-government finally
became a law in 1914, it was a great
triumph for him and received rec
ognition throughout the world as
was shown by the thousands of con
gratulatory telegrams he received.

ON THE ITALIAN FRONT
"A DIFFERENT WAR"
LETTERS FROM MEADE DETWEILER Jit..
AMBULANCE DHIYEIt, TO HIS MOTHEK
Somewhere in Italy.
Mother Dearest:—
We are now settled in our winter
headquarters at the front, having
moved two days ago—and oh! what
a cold place it is—as you know
we have been waiting orders at a
little village behind the lines for
nearly two weeks and when the
order came to "move on"' we were
all so anxious to get busy again that
we packed up and moved in a day.
We came in convoy with our twenty
ambulances—two trucks and staff
car, .moving about 70 kilometers to
our present location. We are now
at the very foot of one of the moun
tains and living in a beautiful old
house, however without all the com
forts. A long lane is immediately
in front of the old building, with
trees on either side, and under these
trees we park our machines, for they
must be hidden from the aero
planes. We are just a few kilo
meters from the lines, but cannot
see them for here the lines are on
tha mountains and just over the one
that is next to us. Wliut a cheer
ful feeling.it is to live day by day
and not know what morning you
may awaken to find an "unwel
comed friend" just above you. To
bring it home, it is the same as
though our headquarters were in the
old Miller farmhouse at Penbrook
and the Italians held the golf course
just on the hill at Reservoir Park
in front of it and the top and down
the other side as far as the "Mem
orial" —then from there on the Aus
trianS. There is plenty of action
here and it looks as though we will
have a very busy winter unless too
much snow falls. All the moun
tains are well covered now and as
yet the real snow has not started
to fall, so it looks as though we will
have a very severe winter.
We can see the many artillery
dugouts and placements from here
and the noise from the guns never
cease. When the larger guns open
lire at night, there is one lively
time, causing the panes of glass in
our windows here to rattle so, that
at times they almost break. At
night is the beautiful time to watch
the action, for all along the top
go up—and many other kinds of
go up—and many other kind of
lights appear.
A "Different War''
Down here things are so
ent from what we have been accus
tomed to in France that it almost
seems we are in a different war.
Of course the mountains make a
great difference and as for the snow,
that speaks for itself. Now as to
our living here in the house. It is
a place where everything has been
taken out —dismantled entirely—and
looks like a barn—stoves were
thought of first and after the first
day we managed to get a couple of
small kerosene burners, so we put
them in one room and l}ved ill
there. As yet we have been un
successful in getting more, conse
quently, you may imagine our con
ditions--we all keep hats and coats
on —and slowly but surely are be
coming more accustomed to the cold
and situation.
There is very little H2O to be
had and what we can accumulate
we save for the cars. Many of the
men have not washed since their
arrival .to say nothing of myself.
Friday was the first time in 3 days
that I could get enough water to
enjoy a simple wash and shave and
what luxury! For it was hot water
and you cannot guess where I got
it when I drained the radiator
of my machine, I caught the H2O in
a bucket and it quite answered the
purpose. Chairs were our next
necessity, so the Italian Lieutenant
connected to our section said, "We
can get all we want in an abandoned
moving picture theater in the vil
lage just a quarter of a mile away."
W r e took a couple of machines and
after winding in and out of many
small narrow streets (you know the
streets) we came to the theater.
A bomb had struck the place dur
ing an air raid some days ago, but
the town has been evacuated for
some months. We erjter the build
ing—took all the chairs we needed,
incidentally finding a couple of
tables und loaded them all in the
machines. This little town is al
most entirely deserted, there is .only
a heap of ruins, houses with their
roofs gone, their walls torn by
shell fire—the storm certainly has
visited this once undisturbed little
village.
I.cft Everything Behind
The peopla left everything be
hind, taking with them just enough
to last for a few days. While our I
Italian mechanics loaded the chairs
we walked through a few of the
houses and found everything imagin
able. It was a most depressing
sight, for one could imagine these
old people getting outj in a few
hours' time, and where contentment
and happiness was—death and de
struction followed. This little vil
lage is, as I said, just about one
fourth of a mile on the other side
of us and to think of its being in
range of the Boche guns, seems im
possible, for the high mountains on
our other side, hide it completely,
but only last night at ten o'clock
were dropped in it, the noise
and sure enough they were after
the village. About a dozen big shells
were dropped in it and the noise
from the explosions and falling of
the walls was very plain. It's a
wierd sensation to hear these things
go whistling overhead and not
know where they are going to land.
Our first job was a mean one and
it came at a bad time. While we
were watching the shells burst in
the town across the way, and won
dering if any of the soldiers
quartered there, waiting to go to
the front, were killed, an Italian
captain came in our living room and
said in broken English, "We would
like all the cars you can spare to
go at once to the hospital in the
town to evacuate the patients."
What did I think of, as did all the
rest—but it was an order, so out we
pulled—and in an half hour we were
at the hospital. Only two shells
came in while we were there, but
they were headed for the railroad
station, nevertheless how* did we
know, and all seemed to be kept
guessing—rather a ticklish sensa
tion, and if it had been my first
time under fire I know T would have
been much disturbed. We took the
wounded to a small hospital, 30
kilometers away and oh! what a
cold night. We only got about two
kilometers out of the town when
it began snowing—the roads were
all frozen and strange to us and by
the time we had gotten half way
over the road we could Just barely
see Ave feet ahead. No lights, of
course, and a narrow road with all
kinds of transports coming in the
opposite direction, headed for the
front. One place we passed along
a narrow road with canals on both
sides. Just 10 feet below it just
seemed to me as though one was
driving over the Mulberry stree.t
bridge with no lights, In a blinding
snowstorm and knowing no rail
ing was there to stop you from
going over. We had no chains, con
sequently it was plain Hell for all
the cars, and when we did arrive
they kept us waiting two hours.
We had the ride back, which was
just as hard, and at H. 30 A. M. ar
rived aL the hospital for orders.
They said "come back at 8 A. M.
and get 60 more patients to be taken
16 kilometers to a railroad fetation."
We did not go to bed but had a
cup of coffee at the house and at
X returned to the hospital again.
Tries to Thaw Out
Cold and wet clothes meant noth- i
ing and it was 10.30 P. M. until I|
arrived back here where 1 sat be
side a small fire trying to get "thaw
ed out." We had a light luncheon, ]
for- as yet we have ntft gotten a
stove large enough to do the cook
ing. That is just a beginning of
the work we have to do and next
week we start on the mountain work
and that will be even worse.
December 10.
To-day is the first sunny day we
have had since our arrival and the
mountains are all in view and look
wonderful. About 10 o'clock the
aeroplanes started to go up and
many of the Italian planes started
across the lines. We could see them
spiraling upwards and when they
got so high that we could just about
see them, they started over the
mountains. Artillery duels were in
progress all day and the noise was
one continuous roar. We could see
large shells bursting on the top of
the one mountain and each time one
landed it threw the snow and dirt
many feet in the air.
Troops were passing on the road
all day to-day a#id all seemed to
be in good spirits. It is wonderful
the way these Italians can carry
the large amount of equipment they
do—for I noticed one machine gun
pass, and the men carried the guns
on their backs to say nothing of
the heavy plate protector that goes
on the gun. I cannot say that the
Italian men have as good discipline
as the French troops, yet they ac
complish just as much.
Work in Mountains
Two of our cars were sent up the
mountains last night on a trial trip
and their success depended upon our
future mountain work. They start
ed at 5.30, and with a guide showing
the road, made the climb which was
14 kilometers and very steep. The
road is very narrow and covered
with ice and snow, so that on some
stretches only one line of cars can
pass along at a. time. Our cars
made it, but the climb was terrible
and the road congested to such a
degree that in some places the ma
chines were compelled to wait two
hours, for a convoy of machines to
pass down. We ore now going to
run a post on the top of the moun
tain.
We are now all anxiously await
ing for a machine to arrive from
M , which is bringing our Christ
mas packages. Wa left this one
car there on account of needed re
pairs and it is expected at any time.
How good a few things from the
old United States would taste just
now. We can only get a very few
things to eat and you can guess the
principal (vegetable fruit or a meat)
just what you choose to call it
(macaroni). We are allowed the
ration issued the officers, but find
it not sufficient, so purchase what
vegetables and meat we can find.
1 see from the newspapers, and
■jour letters, that you all in the
States are economizing to a great
extent, and I think it a good plan,
for if you <?ould but see some of
the poorer class in this country,
you would be willing to make a
sacrifice to help them.
Trenches and Wires
It was interesting to see the re
serve trenches and bob-wiring con
structed for miles behin'd the lines,
which will be used if any nnfore
seen thing should happen. They
sure seem to believe in "prepared
ness" over here and it can be no
ticed in more than one place. I
wish I might tell you of the many
things I have seen behind the lines
here for I know it would be inter
esting to you, but I know it would
not pass the censor. We are now
all sitting in the one heated room.
T have a sandle sitting on the end
of a chair and feel •quite comfor
table. but it will not be long until
we hear "the planes are overhead."
Then our group will break up until
they go back after, bombing the
town just across the way. We can
expect Boche raids any clear night
and although it is below freezing
point they come and go - just the
same. Please turn to Rev'elation.
thirteenth chapter, and read. It
predicts this state of affairs will
end in February. We have long
discissions on that point and it is
amusing to hear the many views
We have some great arguments, hut
when you see the condition of af
fairs on this side it is enough to
prove that we will have many more
months of war.
It's pretty lonesome out here and
even worse tliari in France. Our
mail is very irregular, and we can
not get newspapers or magazines
and cannot talk to the people ex
cept through our interpreter, as
very little French is spoken in this
section. Then, too, to add to this de
plorable situation over here, is the
food question. T see by "The Har
risburg Telegraph," which reaches
me in bunches, you all are doing
your part in "my home town" to
help win the war. Conserve wher
ever possible—substitute anything
for it—but do impress upon the
people the absolute need of bread
foodstuff to feed the men who are
on this side and to help the starv
ing people who tried so hard to de
fend their homes—and loved ones.
The conditions here in Italy that you
read about in thv papers are no
exaggerations. The Americans are
here to win and they will, but they
must have the support'of each.and
everyone in the States.
Must run along now. Best re
gards to all inquiring friends.

Standard Ships Built
Not Equal to Sinkings,
Declares Sir Ellerman
By Associated Press
London, Wednesday, March 6.
Standard ships produced in British
shipyards in a fortnight are not equal
to the sinkings by submarines Sir
John R. Ellerman, steamship owner,
declared to-day at a meeting of the
Chamber of Shipping. He explained
that owing to the conditions under
which shipowners are carrying on
trade and war conditions, marine
casualties, apart from enemy action,
are double and treble what they
were in the days before the war. He
s?aid the output of shipping since the
war was not sufficient to make good
the losses by marine causes alone,
leaving the losses by enemy action
yet to be made up.

The single feature concerning "Ex
perience," the modern morality
drama, which comes
I'nlvenal to l! o Orpheum Thea-
Appcul of t.er for the week of
"Bxperlvnce" March IS, is the fact
that it lias an appeal
for everyone. Because (leorge V. Ho- |
bai t, the author, with the inspiration i
of genius, hit upon a theme which in
stinctively arouses memories and
hopes that are universal. The adven
tures of Youth upon the Primrose
Path are both a warning and a remi
niscence. The sight of Wealth, toss
ing his gold away on a drunken
>pree, recalls the wild and adventur
ous days of spendthrift folly. Not only
does this act as a deterrnient to er
ring youth, but also as a reminder to
old age, that such foolishness should
cease. The scene where Youth be
comes intoxicated is merely the stag
ing of an experience which is prac
tically universal. Many a boy has
said to himself. "Never will I take
a drop." but how many men of SO are
there who will admit that they have
never taken a drink? So this is an
•other of life's experiences which
comes close home to nearly every
one. So it is with gambling; with i
the other experiences of Youth: and
so on until the end of Mr. llobart's|
wonderful allegory with its ever
| present lesson. A preachment? Yes,
| but a wonderful presentation of facts
! which are too often forgotten.
I Curle.v and Welch, a clever team of
vaudeville performers, are included
on the Majestic program the
|\t the last half of the current
j Majestic week. They are presenting
a skit entitled "Mr. Flynn
I Prom I.ynn," that is brimful of good
comedy. Both are fine entertainers
| and put their material over to many
| laughs. Britt Wood, whose imper
sonation of a "rube" is making him
a popular attraction in every theater >
where he appears, is offering a good j
j variety turn. Wood is an excellent [
j comedian, and also introduces some '
singing and dancing into his act.
Harry Bond and Company, in their
laughable skit entitled "Too Many
Women." is an added feature of the
bill. Two other attractions complete
the list.
The true man recognizes no sin on
the part of his mother, but hallows
her memory with
Knrle \\ illlams in the sweet tender
"A MothcrV Sin" liess which she
has shown him.
i Such a man is played with touching
lidelity by Earle Williams in "A
Mother's Sin." the Vitagraph feature
which opened a two-day engagement
at the Colonial Theater yesterday. It
is a drama that glows with strength
and splendid love, and tells the story
of a sen who is so devoted to the
memory of his mother that he delles
his own father rather than have her
nubility besmirched. It has been
said, "You mothers know how deep
is your love for your son, but do you
know how all-powerful is his devo
tion to you?. No matter what you
may do, in his eyes you are the ideal
woman of creation. Yoif will under
stand his feeling when you see 'A
Mother's Sin.' "
The attraction 1 for to-morrow and
Saturday will be Alice Brady in the
powerful drama. "Her Silent Sacri
fice."

district of Arizona. This picture was
made from the story of Dane Col

anything Wallace Reid lias ever done,
"Rimroek Jones" reflects the vital
life and characteristics of a certain
section of the great West. There is
the rough wild and woolly stuff that
delights and thrills school girls, and
there is the society life and scenes of
fashionable hotels which appeal to

■exhibitions aptly described as
"an inexhaustible
mine of knowledge and pleasure." One
of the principal features of Mr. Howe's
latest programs is China. There is
something so impressive and attrac
tive about this oldest civilization of
the world that It has drawn travelers
for centuries past to the shores of the
great Chinese Empire and year after
year new discoveries of the mysteries
of China have added to its lure.
It remained for Lyman 11. llowe to
bring the real China to the people of
the outside world. His photographers
waited for live years and at last re
ceived permission to take the firs'
photographs of "The Forbidden City,"
the most sacred and mysterious spot
in all China. You might visit China a
thousand times and not gain one-half
the idea of Chinese life and Chinese
character that this film portrays.
Tlir> co-stars. William Courtenay
and Thomas A. Wise, will come to the
"General in their entertaining
I'OMI ** comedy, "General Post,"
Orpheum, Tuesday night,
by ,T. E. Harold Terry.
William Courtenay is seen as the ar
dent and heroic tailor, and Tom Wise
plays the genial baronet. (lathleen
Nesbitt is the heroine. The play be
gins before the great war. and Sir
Denys (Tom Wise) and Lady Brough
ton (Cynthia Brooke) are typically I
aloof and patronizing. They know
their daughter has become interested
in a tailor, who is somewhat of a
student, and they are for sending her
abroad to escape contact with the
commoner. Then the war comes,
and because the tailor has
been a member of the Territori
als and knows his soldiering back
ward. he soon becomes a colonel, and
finally a brigadier general. And that
changes the viewpoint of the Brougli
tons entirely. In place of being com
mon snobs they become supersnobs.
'and even suggest to their daughter
that she throw herself in the way of
the general. There is a good bit ol
amusing comedy, and not a little sen
sible war talk, mixed in . with the
sentiment of "General Post.
Sentiment, mystery and adventure,
mixed in the proper quantities, makes
a play that appeals to
.•The playgoers of every ag
Thirteenth md class; the reason
Clin'r" for the tremendous
success of Hie J nit
teenth Oliair". is that IJayard VeUler h
dramatic thrill contains ail of these
elements, woven into a story that is
told with surpassing skill.
"The Thirteenth Chair will be tiu

turn engagement next Wednesday
matinee and night, and the engage
ment in all likelihood willbeoneof
the most welcome events of the thea
trical season; for this play was pro

twelve months at one theater, draw -
ing crowded houses during the height
of the summer season just as easib
as it did in midwinter, and later had

of three months In Chicago.
