der, much of which has been flooded
by the allies to hinder German ?J

variably resort to In the hope of H
j breaking down the allies' resistance ^
before infantry attacks, and In Isolated
sppts attacks In force but, ac- Pi
( cording to the French and British lj
roports, all these have been repulsed. fj
I The Anglo-French forces which c|
| hare been holding territory around k|
Ypreg again have been subjected to
determined stacks, fresh German "
troops having attempted to force the *
allies out*nf their trenches.
As was the case with" Prussian r
guard, the Germans who made the
latest effort appear to hare taken 11
the ff^st line, of trenches, but, like d
the guards, were compelled to give f
back the ground after holding it fro *
av short time.
Bothsi dee, as shown by casualty ^
lists, are losing heavily, but the Germans,
on the offensive and so often 1
enfiladed after success wag nearly
in their hands, are said to have auf- I
fered enormously. I

For the past several years Captain
Ballance has been engaged in freighting

between Ocraooke and Washington.
His venial, nleaaant dUnnsitinn and
accommodating ways made him
many friends with his passenger"
and home people. The deceased

"Peg O' My Heart," which comes >(^j
10 tne ?ew Theatre on Wednesday
next, Is made rellshable because It
differs from the usual dialogue and .
situations of the average plays that
havo come our way. This play dealing
with youth, simplicity and love.
Ib filled with guests of laughter. The
action of the piece takes place In
England, and has to do with the adventures
of a little Irish girl who has
bocn raised by her father, an Irish
Socialist, living In New York who
sends her to her aristocratic relatives
in England to be educated. That
a play can be free from moral prob~
lems and discussions, or social vice,
and still be ope or the sensational
hits of the country, has already been
proven by the wonderful patronage
accorded J. Hartley Manners' comedy
everywhere. Oliver Moroseo
wishes to assure Washington theatre- <
goers he 1b sending to this city complete
in every detail, the same beautiful
production, and cast headed by
Miss Rae Martin, in the title named
part, that has given such great enjoyment
to thousands-of Southern
theatre-goers thus far this season.
