But they showed skeptical ones, and everybody had to laugh witft the fun and be ser ious with the "homesitky songs" which were popular and thro wasn't a single "unsanitary" feature of the program. As the chaplain said, after they'd called on the "Holy Joe" for a talk, everything passed the censor. Nobody "cussed" a single "cuss" word, and the colon.el said in the buly speech he made at the end of the performance, he couldn't tell them how proud he was of them because they'd been in tho trenches a long time and every dough boy was absolutely clean.

Empey is "A Voice From the Trenches" Sergt. Arthur Guy Empey in Vitagraph's master production, 'Over the Top." "A Voice fam the trenehes," U the way Sergeant Empey ' great story, "Over the Top," has been described by critics. As a drama with the fight ing sergeant in the very role ho en acted in the trenches it will be shown next Thursday, Friday and Saturday at the Liberty theater. The soldier-author with this play balds the mirror up to human nature aa he found it in tho English private soldier. His story will appeal to young and old alike, to all who love pathos and humor, great deeds end manly men. The New York Times in commenting on the story "Over tie Top," said: "Prospective soldiers can learn here pretty nearly just what is awaiting thorn, in both incident and sensation, while their f olkis at home will be 'heart ened." Like tie book, this Vitagraph drama lis billed with anecdotes that will bring the amilo and laughter. Empey I proves that life in the trenches ii not I all gloom by any means. He says: "War is not a pink tea, but in a i worthwhile cause like outb, .mud rats. cooties, shells, wounds or death itself are far outweighed by the deep sense of satisfaction felt by the man who does his bit. There is one thing my ex perience taught me that might help the boys who may have to go. It is this anticipation is far worse than realization. In civil life a man stands in awe of the man above him, wonders how he could ever fill his job. When the time comes he rises to the occasion, is up and at it, and is surprised to find how much more easily than he anticipated he fills his responsibilities- ILf .! ( xt ir ?" K 1 'J Vi.1i,..r.miiai; mV m(Tlj By Henry Wood (United Press Staff Correspondent) With the French Armies In The Field, June 20 (By Mail). Letters tak.;i from German prisonors captured in Am erican sectors make no secret of the terriblo losses being inflicted by Amer ican infantry, machine gunners and ar tillery. This is especially the caso in tne sectors near Chateau-Thierry. One letter, written June 12, by a sol dier of a German iufautry regiment reads as follows: "My division has been engaged only since tho situation has stabilized in the region of Bonnes-Chateau-Thierry. My company still numbers forty men. Bui in three days my battalion was exhaust ed and placed in reserve. However, v.e are still required to go wherever neces sary across a terrible barrage fire. Nat urally we got less and less numerous. Finally, when wo were completely ex hausted a battalion of the regi ment relieved us. "Yesterday morning the poor dovils were still asleep, they wore so fatigued They were taken prisoners and thq French occupied their first line. W,s aro accordingly given the alarm and were obliged at once to occupy the sustain ing position. "Before us now there aro Americans Previously ther.9 were English, French and Madngasear forces. I am astonished that I am still alive, for it has cost us masses of men. " Another letter taken from a prisoner of the 401st regiment of Gorman infan try qays: j 'The enemy's resistance has become stronger and our losses now are heavy. During the night of Juno 3-4 I was call- l because several section commanders had already beea killed. I was sent to tiin Thud company, which had lost all its section commanders. "Our attack was without result, ow- iuj to the terrible machine gun fire. Our second attack was repulsed on ac count of tho heavy losses we sustained (more than- half.) We are still m the midst of a terriblo uninterrupted ar tillery fire thaa continues day and flight. "As adversaries we have seen Eng lish, negro colonial troops, French and Americans." Taken from the same soldier was a letter he had written .three days later after his regiment had had moro to do witn Americans. It reads: "-The artillory is becoming more and more violent than the preceding days. Wo receive shells of ovory calibre, even SSO's. The mutilations are horrible If mothers knew what happened to their sons I think they would smother them tu death against their bosoms to save them such Bufferings. "Toward morning wo wora violently alullcd and at five o'clock we were at tacked, but repulsed tho enemy. Begin ning at noon there was a now bombard ment that was frightful. At six o'clock an English and AmoHeah attack was repulsed. Wo aro completely in advance and our position is critical. .The regi ment at our right has already fallen back." Three days later, just before this sol dier was taken prisoner,- his last let ter read as follows: "At five o'clock this morning, an oth:r attack. Tho remainder of tho day was more calm. Toward evening the ar tillery fire increased and becams even more terriblo during tho following morning. All who rest ar0 killed and buried. I am the fifth to take command of the company."

That's a question which puzzlea many of us. Wo all know that wo must "go easy" on sugar, as it is our duty to conserve. And candy contains some sugar. , , , So how con we know how much to cat. In tho first plaflo, wo must not forget that our system needs some f ii gar, and this tho food administration recognizoi. Wo must remombor, too, that soma peoplo lileo their sugar in coffee, sonio in fruit and sorno in other ways. If you like yours iu tho form of amly, eat some candy as much aa tho food administration pennit. a certain share is yours. The Food Administration is keeping in close touch with the sugar situation and alWbing tho camly manufacturers as much an it can seo i't way clear to allot. Bvcryono is being asked to save on sugar, and tho candy mauu ! tturers have been. kcd to avo half of all they formerly used. But that which is being given them is being given thorn bwause the 'ool Administration recognizes candy as a food and is willing to permit it to be made and sold. It also knows that the candy muking industry is a big national industry and that it is tho duty of every ; one to kelp kwp industries going at hoimo at the samo time that wo are winning tho war. Ho the candy manufacturers are permitted .to make a certain amount of candy and offer it lor sale to you. But the Food Admin istration says how much that will bo. When tho sugar is used up, no moro can be had. So you know that the candy you seo on salo is there with Uio ,permition and the sanction of tho Food Administration. And that candy you can enjoy to the fullest. And whilo you eat it, or scod it away to a oldier, if you prefer, you .may know that every pound in high in food value good, wholesome food, supplying tho sys tem with carbohydrates (fuel for the body.) In normal times tho candy industry uses only 8 per cent of tho sugar used per capita in this ountry. Bight now this y in two.
