"German Officer Volunteers to
Remove Caps From Mines
Planted During War
Bruges, Dec. 23 (by mall). —Citi-
zens of Bruges were greatly puzzled,
ifter the signing of the armistice,
Vy the presence of a German officer
In full regalia in and about the city,
i'his officer was at times accompa
nied by two Belgian officers of the
second section of the Belgian general
staff, but more often he was in com
mand of ten or twelve German pris
oners of war. He appeared to do
nearly what he pleased. For several
days his work centered in Bruges,
the post office, city hall anil railroad
station in turn being visited by him
and his soldiers.
Unfavorable comment concerning
him became so loud that after a few
days a makeshift uniform was pro
vided for him. It looked like a com
bination of Russian, German, and
English uniforms, but speculation as
to the identity and business of the
German persisted.
Now it is known that this man
saved Bruges from destruction. He
was the officer who, during hostili
ties, was in charge of the work of
mining the town and the Zeebrugge
docks, bridges, etc. After the sign
ing of the armistice he volunteered
to remove the caps from the mines.
It was dangerous work and sev
eral prisoners were called in to help.
Borne of the mines were timed to ex
plode ten or twelve days after the
departure of the troops.

i teresting also to learn that Mr. Grlf

i 'My Soldier Girl," a gorgeous musi
cal spectacle with military atmos
phere. coming to
"My Soldier Girl" the Orpheum next
Wednesday, matl
j nee and night, possesses every trick
of stagecraft known to modern pro-
I ducors. From the sublime to the rl
! dlcuious, from artistic stage settings
[ to bewildering effects with the aid of
I electricity. From the magnificent
i costumes to the decidedly diverting
| dancing numbers and stage pictures,
all combining to make this big musi
cal show such a success as that term
in its fullest implies.
The three scenes are brilliantly
staged and a series of novel stage pic
tures of many surprises, new to the
art of stagecraft, are presented. The
first act reproduces the New York
Winter Garden stage, and affords op
| portunity for elaborate settings, of
l the Josef Urban style. From this
j sumptuous scene, the action shifts to
Miami, Fla„ and Colonel Stone's home
: near an aviation field. A grand fete
I Is in progress in honor of the avia
| tlon instructors down from Waslilng
| ton. and introduces many novel sur
j prises, concluding with the genuine
thrill,a spectacular airplane flight. The
last act is an allegorical study, the
I curtain rising on a war-torn battie-
I field "Somewhere in France." A tab-
I leaux, vividly impressive of the power
of modern arms. Gradually this dis
solves into the Statue of Liberty,
with soldiers and sailors guard. The
patriotic finale engages the entire
company, who. In cleverly designed
costumes form two great American
flags, to which their action lends wav
ing effect as they cherus their "Lib
erty Forever."

tion to patriotism is as old as war,
.. „ and war is as old as the
AI G. Field world.
.•iiiiatrcla We have no record
, , that the cave man
celebrated his exploits with rude bal
lads, but when the hosts of Pharaoh
were swallowed up in the Red Sea,
Miriam sang and the chosen people ex
ulted because Egyptian automony had
been overthrown.
The red man, who held sway in this
country before the white man, had
his war songs and they voiced fierce
challenge to his foes.
In barbaric, as in civilized times,
music has played an Important part In
the world's wars and it is still potent
to sway the human heart. Cymric
valor was thrilled t oglorious deeds
in days of old by the soul-stirring
"March of the Men of Harlech."
The pulse of France has throbbed
with quickened rhythm to the strains
of the "Marseillaise." Liberty has no
liner minstrelsy than finds expression
in war songs.
Our country has its war songs,
noble and inspiring, "The Star-
Spangled Banner" and the "Battle
Hymn of the Republic." "The Star-
Spangled Banner" in times of war
stirs the soul like the unfurling of a
banner. The "Battle Hymn" is like
unto the irresistible onset of a mighty
army.
The value of songs in war time
cannot be overestimated. Songs serve
to awaken the souls of the people to
the exalted height demanded by love
of country. It deepens their devotion
to the cause which calls men-to the
colors.
The songs of a country are the in
dex to its peoples. Who would think
of Bonnie Scotland, that the songs of
the land of cakes do not come into
mind.
America has a distinctive place in
the song history of the world. The
songs of the Southland will ever live
and the minstrels who popularize
them will ever hold a place in the af
fections of all.
Al. O. Field has made a study of
the folk-lore songs of this country.
The classical compositions in many of
our highest class musical organiza
tions are in a measure being sup
planted by more modern music. Mr.
Field has always made the popular
music of the day the basis of his
minstrel productions. The universal
popularity of the Al. G. Field produc
tion is-due in a great measure to the
popularity of the musical program
and the excellence of its singers.
The Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels
will be at the Orpheum next week
Thursday and Friday.
Harrisburg will have an opportu
nity this evening to hear some real
local talent in
Moorhend Knitting one of the big-
Co. Vaudeville gest musical
events of the
year, when the Moorhead Knitting
Company employes will be heard in a
monster vaudeville show to be given
at the Chestnut Street Auditorium
The proceeds will go to the Associat
ed Aid Societies.
It has been for many years the con
tention of Harrisburgers that this
city does not have many good musi
cians. This belief is banished when
one hears the Moorhead chorus of
forty young women under the effici
ent direction of Mrs. Florence Ackley
Ley. Mrs. Ley was formerly the prima
donna of the Joseph E. Howard Musi
cal Comedy Company. She Is now the
soprano soloist in Messiah Lutheran
Church.
Prominent among the other num
bers to be presented will be several
solos by Miss Naomi Antoinette Ack
ley, who formerly took the part of
"Eileen" In Victor Herbert's musical
comedy of that-name. A kindly critic

A brl'llant program has been prepared, inoudiiig five

PROMINENT MUSICAL COMEDY STARS
Dancing Follows the Show
MUNICIPAL BAND WILL PLAY
Tickets maj be obtained at leading stores or ut the auditorium
Admission: 75, 50 and 25 Cents, Including Dancing
onco aatd. "Music la the gift of God.
Mlaa Ackley's voice has strengthened
that belief. She has a very lovely
voice with sympathetic interpretation
and exquisite coloring.
Male quartet numbers will be given
by the Quality Four, of this city,
headed by J, Stewart Black, Klwan|s
Club pianist. Other mombers of this
aggregation are Warren Byler, Halph
K. Steevor and It. B. Manley, all wide
ly known local musicians. Klmer H.
Ley. formerly of the "Prince of Pll
sen' company, will sing. A delightful
number will be the Ley-Ackley Trio
of vaudovllla artists.
Cohen andjCulp, two local vaude
ville artists, are scheduled to appear,
and in addition there Is W. lloland
Carter, baritone; Frank Entry, tenor,
and last but not least, the salesmen's
chorus of forty Moorhead salesmen,
who have a funny stunt or two up
their sleeves.
It is seldom \ve are given the priv
ilege in Harrlsburg of hearing a musi
cal aggregation so brilliant as this,
but to top it oft, a dance will follow,
with Frank Blumensteln's unbeatable
Municipal band orchestra playing.
Tickets are selling at 75c. 50 and 25
cents at "rlncipal stores. They may
also be secured at the auditorium to
night.
Crowds that taxed the capacity of
the Majestic Theater were on hand
yesterday to usher in the
At the new Vaudeville show there.
Mujestlc It is another bill brimful of
splendid comedy, and those
who witnessed the performances yes
terday enjoyed every minute of it.
Claude and Marion Cleveland are one
of the most popular comedy teams that
ever played the Majestic, and their
comedy, songs and nonsense are a big
hit. Another popular number on the
bill is the rapid-lire comedy skit pre
sented by the Townsend-Wilbur
Company entitled "The Smart Aleck."
The act is a big laugh and is present
ed by three clever players. Helen
Harrington is a very pretty girl,
charmingly gowned, who has a reper
toire of pleasing songs which she de
livers in a pleasing manner. The re
mainder of the bill includes Emma
Francis and Her Arabian Whirlwinds,
in a series of Jazz Dances, and the
Cycling Brunettes in a very clever
bicvcle offering. The second episode
of "The Dure of the Circus' is also be
ing shown.
Vivian Martin is to appear at the
Regent Theater to-morrow in her
newest production, "Mi-
At the randy Smiles." This latest
ltegent picture, shown at the Re
gent for the first time in
Harrisburg, is an exquisite little love
story. Miss Martin has the role of
"Mirandy Judkins," a littl scrub wo
man. She falls in love with an or
ganist, and Supid, climbing Into the
organ pipes, weaves a lover s sym
phony for the happy pair.
Miss Martin vests the character of
the little scrub woman with grace and
dignity with which anyone of that
calling may feel proud. The play is
a dramatization of Belle K. Maniate s
book. "The Littlest Scrub Lady.
A funnv and very enjoyable, up to
the usual Sennett standard is the
other feature on to-morrow's program.
Douglas Fairbanks is appearing at
the Regent to-night in his newest
and crispest comedy, "He Comes Up
Smiling." James Montgomery s latest
coniedv, "Perfectly Fiendish Flana
gan," is also being shown to-night.
Much has been written and printed
about tlie insidious workings of the
German spy system in
At the America, but it has remain-
Vtctorln ed for William Fox to pre
sent in a remarkable screen
story. "The Prussian Cur." a notable
expose of this diabolical plot.
No less a personage than Captain
Von der Goltz, himself a confessed
paid spv for more than ten years in
the damnable seqret Servian of the
former Kaiser of Germany, related to
Director Walsh, of the Fox Film
Corporation, his astonishing personal
knowledge of the workings of the
German spy outrages in America.
These plots and schemes are al
most beyond belief. But Captain
Goltz vouches for their truth and
developments and investigations of
the U. C. Department of Justive have
corroborated the disclosures.
What makes "The Prussian Cur all
the more important and remarkable
as a stupendous revelation of the
German iniquitous plots here, is the
fact that Captain Von der Goltz him
self acts on the screen for the bene
fit of the American public, many of
his startling disclosudes. It will be
seen at the Victoria Theater, Wednes
day to Friday of next week.
