some weeks past. Exploited as the :

photoplay, "The Venus Model." a story
of love, involving a pretty girl who

MARGUERITE CLARK SCORES TRIUMPH IN
DOUBLE CHARACTER
In her new starring vehicle i
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," which will be
shown at the Regent Theatre Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, Mar
gurerite Clark celebrated as th
' Sweetest Girl in Pictures," portrays
the roles of Eva and Topsy, two
widely dissimiliar characterizations,
but which she handles with the skill
of the true artist.
This is said to be a splendid plc
turization of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe's famous novel, the publica
tion of which did much to bring on
the Civil War and resulted in the j
emancipation of the slaves in this:
country. The novel was translated !
in many languages and in point of
numbers the sales of the book ex
ceeded that of any story ever pub
lished. The principal incidents of
the story are embraced in the photo
play and colFectively they form one
of the finest picture productions
ever made by any motion picture

able explanation given for the Brit-;
ish policy of not attacking the Ger
mans while the French and Ameri- j
cans are engaged in their offensive.
Allied military opinion, General
March said, is unanimous that the i
German offensive movement has been
completely stopped.
Seek Railroad
General March said the objective <
of the Franco-American counterat
tack was the Soissons-Chateau
Thierry Railroad which the allied
command has reason to believe is
the principal artery of supply for j
the enemy in the Chateau Thierry !
region, and also one of the principal j
sources for the sector south of the 1
Marne.
The French and American forces |
either already are on this road or '
have it well under direct shell fire |
of their artillery.
Huns May Withdraw
The chief of staff pointed out that
with this railroad in allied control 1
the German withdrawal from the
sectoi south of -he Marne would be j
rendered difficult and their main
railway line to the rear would be j
lost. He Indicated an attempt to 1
withdraw is anticipated.
The latest German drive was tn- j
tended as a "nutcracker operation" 1
agahist the city of Rheims, General !
March said. This drive had been |
definitely stopped when General 1
Focli struck on the right flank of :
the German effort after the enemy i
had advanced four to five miles on a
twenty-three-mile front."
17,000 Known Prisoners
Official advices confirm the press '
leport that a French corps in which j
American divisions were operating. ;
had captured 17,000 prisoners, and ,
guns and material "in very helpful j
amounts."
In response to questions, General :
Mi'fch said the Illinois National
Guard division, commanded by Ma- •
,lor Gene-al George Bell, Jr., was
in the Fnglish tiaining sector. A '
unit of th's division last week co- i
operated with the Australians In a
successful advance already reported. |
The six American divisions j
ing on the Aisne-Marne front are j
operating as divisions and not as a
corps, he said. Their location from I
dav to day depends upon the de-j
velopments in the battle.
National Army in Ijine
The Seventy-seventh National
Army division, composed largely of
New Jersey troops, but including i
New York and Delaware men. is in
lino near I.uneville. It is operating |
as a division under its own com- i
mander.
No report on casualties among the I
Americans engaged has reached the |
War Department.
Harrishurgers Fight
There is intense interest through- |
out Harrisburg in every atom of
news regarding soldiers from this
city on the fighting front. In this
colossal war it is difficult to follow
the various units, particularly as our
own men are scattered throughout
so many organizations in the differ- i
ent branches of the service. It seems
to bt certain that at least six former
Pennsylvania National Guard Regi
ments are fighting with the French
along the Marne at Bols de Conde
and at Chateau Thierry, the One
Hundred and Ninth, One Hundred
and Tenth and One Hundred and
Eleventh Infantry Regiments.
The first is commanded by Colonel
Millard D. Brown, of Philadelphia,
and is ?n amalgamation of the old
First and Thirteenth infantry. The
One Hundred and Tenth has been
under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel Henry Coulter, of Greens
burg, and is comprised of the old
Third and Tenth Infantry. Captain
E. J. Stackpole. Jr., of Harrisburg,
is in command of Company M, One
Hundred and Tenth Infantry, having
relinquished his "" commission as a
Reserve officer at Camp Hancock and
accepted on the suggestion of Di
vision Headquarters a commis
sion as captain 1n this par
ticular Nationa Guard Regi
ment. Sa far as is known he is the
only Harrisburger in this regiment,
which Is the famous old "fighting
Tenth" that saw service on the Mex
'cpn border and stands high in mlll
tarv records. Ex-Senator Joseph H.
Thompson, of New Castle, who is
well known in HarTlsburg, is major
in the same regiment.
The One Hundred and Eleventh
'nfantrv is commanded by Colonel
Kdward G. Shannon and is com
prised of the old Sixth and Sixt
eenth National Guard regiments.
Uncle Tom is a Kentucky slave
who is sold and sent to the South
.When on a steamboat on the Mis
sissippi river he saves the life of
Eva St. Clair, whose father pur
chases him as a reward for his
i bravery. St. Clair purposes to set
him free but his death, which oc
curred soon after Eva's demise, !
prevents this and Uncle Tom is
sold to Simon Legree, a brutal
planter, who maltreats him so
severely that he dies from his injuries
I jiist as the son of his former owner
arrives to repurchase him and to
give him a comfortable home for
the rest of his days.
Miss Clark portrays the roles of
Eva and Topsy, a slave girl, two
parts that stand out distinctly above
all others. She is admirably sup
ported by well known screen players
of recognized ability.

Foch Draws Out
100,000 Reserves
Paris, July 20.
I "\HE Germans have been
| , 1 forced to bring up 100,000
reserves to the army of the
German Crown Prince as a result
i of yesterday's fighting, and the
French and Americans, after
fluctuations, have been enabled
to strongly fortify the newly
! gained positions southwest of
! Soissons. says Marcel Hutin in
I the Echo de Paris.
M. Hutin adds that the enemy
menace toward the Pars region,
has been frustrated and that the
efforts of the Crown Prince
against Epernay. Montmirail and
Rheims have gone for naught.
Labor Manager Receives

; labor manager, has received 'a re
j quest from a man in Philadelphia
! who wants to leave the city and lease
a farm. The applicant explains he

Our Great Loss
"Under most regrettable circum
stance 1 was recently compelled to
admit tliat adequate housing facili
ties for workers do not exist in ilar
risburg. Olticials of a Federal De
partment brought recently to my at
tention the fact that Harrisburg was
. being considered among possible lo
cations for u great plant. Naturally,
j I urged thht Harrisburg be its lo
cation, but I was intormcd that In
| spite of llarrisburo's advantages, as
to strategical railroad location,
proximity of mines for coal sup
plies and farms for food products,
that housing conditions in Harris
burg are such that this city was
eliminated in spite of its other ad
| vantages.
i "I was even confronted with facts
| collected by that Department show
| lug tliat the ltousing facilities of
i Harrisburg did not compare favor
f ably with other possible locations
for the plant.
"The Pennsylvania Department of
I I-abor and Industry, through itg
i Bureau of Municipalities, Bureau of
1 Employment and other bureaus is at
| present co-operating with the Cham-
I ber of Commerce to a degree in its
| plans to provide more houses tor
workers and the Chamber of Com-
I merce may be assured that this de
partment places its every facility at
the disposal of the Chamber of Com
merce to aid in every way possible in
its effort to develop Harrisburg in
dustrially to the point of importance
that the Capital City of the greatest
industrial state in the Union should
occupy."
Central Iron's Needs
"We fear, unless something is
done to relieve the housing uitua-
S tion, diffleuffllty will be experienced
i in operatwig anywhere near capa-
I city," declares Robert H. Irons, pre
; si dent of the Central Iron and Steel
Company. During the month of
June. 113 per cent of the product of
: this huge plant was sent to the var
! ious Government departments and
!it Is up to Harrisburg to provide
! proper housing conditions in order
! that the plant may fill its war or
| ders. "To operate our plant a work
i ing force of from 1,550 to 1,600 men
iis required. The average number in
: our employ during the past six
! months is approximately 1,400," said
1 Mr. Irons.
"The large contract jobs at Mld
j dletown .md Marsh Run have drain
j ed the district of labor," Mr. Irons
I continued. "Men can be obtained
: In other sections where the prevall
j Ing labor rate Is less than in' the
i Harrisbur.r otntrlct. This Is the >et
! ter clas of labor, married men with
families.-vho would gjadly locate

I "The labor turnover from January'
1 to July 1, is at the rate of .100
per cent," Mr. Irons says.
