THE WILMINGTON DISPATCH, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. NOVEMBER 1 0, 191 6: PAGE TWO 1 III ! - .... . . . I ' ! i si ".9 a? 1 1 it-. THEATRE . Fox Reilly'4 Famqus Globetrotters put on their third great bill for today and tomorrow, and Mr. "Rellly is very strong in his statements that it is positively the biggest bill of the en tire week. He has reversed the usual process of putting their best foot for ward at first, in order that the high opinion of the first of the week may last throughout the entire week, and consequently the big week-end crowds will get the biggest shows of the week tonight. "The New Butler" is the name of to day's big musical comedy show, and the very title, suggesting Ernest Lin wood in the title role, is a scream. You can imagine this inimitable com edian star in this role, and as the title is based on his role, you may ex pect him to be right in the center of things all the way through. A big new bunch of song-hits and the very most elaborate costumes yet seen this week will be a strong fea ture, and the Empire Quartette will have an all-new bunch of song hits, also Harold Paite, the fellow with the big voice, who will put over his very greatest bass solo song hit of the en tire week. , As an extra tonight, Mr. Prank Banks, who was formerly with the Globe Trotters Company, who ap pears in the cast of "The New Butler" tonight and will also offer a song spe cialty and lead the chorus in a big number. This is an extra attraction and Mr. Banks consented to apepar with his old company tonight and thus afford Wilmingtonians the rare treat of hearing him. Metro Wonderplays Tomorrow. Tomorrow at the Royal will be pre sented another one of those great Metro "wonderplays, starring -that viril young dramatic idol Harold Lockwood, playing opposite the beau tiful and accomplished May Allison in "The Rider," a Metro wonderplay 4n five charming acts, dealing with the colorful romantic South. The story of "The Masked Rider" is one of the most gripping ever" uti lized in a photodrama. It shows hate such as only a rough moonshiner of the North Carolina mountains can feel when he sees a polished inter loper attempt to steal from him. not only the desire of his heart, but his very means of livelihood Opposed to this is such a wish for vengeance as only a noble man can feel when he discovers that his brother has been ROYAL TOMORROW Metro Pictures Present THE SCREEN FAVORITES HAROLD LOCKWOOD and MAY ALLISON -in- THE MASKED RIDER' A Metro Wonderplay of romance, mystery, thrills in five vivid acts, filmed amid the beautiful scen ery at BAT CAVE, N.

CHARLIE CHAPLIN ON " GRAND. DECK AT The Grand management is very pleased to announce that their patrons who have become accustomed to ex pecting to see Charlie Chaplin there ! every Saturday will not be disappoint ed tomorrow. It was feared that no suitable release could be obtained, but a lucky strike enabled them to book a great three-reeler tomorrow. "Charlie's First Vacation" is the title, and it -is rme of the erreatest three-reel Chaplins ever released. Full of the inimitiable capers of the mil lion dollar comedian, it possesses the added attraction of featuring those old Keystone favorites, Ambrose, Fatty, j Mabel, Walrush and all the rest of the bunch. Just imagine three great reels mix ed up with all of these great stars, with the inimitiable Charlie Chaplin in its midst, and you have some indi cation of the -treat in store tomorrow. IF KIDNEYS AGT BAD TAKE SSLTS Says Backache is Sign You Have Been Eating Too Much Meat. When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a well known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in tbeir effort to filter it from the blood and they be come sort of paralyzed and cloggy. When your kidneys et sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous wasie, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your storach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels of ten get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief .two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharma cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; talre a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. The famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined "with lithia, and has been used for genera tions to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effer vescent lithia water drink. Advt.

Intense ex citement, but iK flurry, reigns along any sector of. the French front just before an assault is to be delivered. The men stand to - arms cooly as though they were going to the parade ground. They look to the breaches of their rifles; load their magazines, loosen their bayonets in their scab bards, fix the straps of their steel helmets or tighten their belts. Some of them, sit down with their backs supported by the side, of the trench writing what may be their last mes sages to their relatives while waiting for the word to "go over." There is no hesitation when this comes. The men, with every confidence in their leaders, all their nerves and muscles taut, clamber out and spring forward and in the recent offensive have al ways achieved the objective set them by their commanders. The Associated Press corresporV dent had an opportunity to be in the midst of one of these moments of pre paration at a certain point of : the French line somewhere south of the Somme at a time when the Allied of fensive was pushing forward with great vigor. In the sector visited by The Asso ciated Press representative the French and German first line trench es are separated by a distance of from 200 to 300 yards. In between are wide barbed wire entanglements, erected at nighttime after "the French had driven the Germans from a village and a wood by surprise. With modern arms tne coverung oi such a distance across open ground by attacking infantry would mean a terrible cas ualty list. The French, however, were determined to advance To do so they excavated with great rapidity approach trenches zigzagging for ward some fifty to eighty yards, where they were joined up by a par allel trench known as the "taking off parallel." From this running still further out saps were cut leading to ward the German lines and these were occupied by listening patrols and armored machine gun emplace- ! ments. From the bottom of the tak- ing-off parallel steps cut in the earth led up to the level ground. Up these the companies chose from the assault were to spring on the signal for the departure and spread out in open formation, dashing forward in sec tions towards the German works, previously almost battered out of ex istence by the French artillery. The sector was not at all "healthy" when the correspondents visited it. German aeroplanes cruised about overhead evidently scenting that something was about to take place. Their activities were not to the lik ing of the infantrymen below, who, while not impressed by the dangers of artillery and machine gun fires, object strongly to the appearance on the scene of these aerial intruders. Artillery curtain fire had been started by the Germans to prevent the arrival of French reinforcements, but its effect on the French troops was almost nil. The French general commanding the division, who had been promoted only recently for brilliant service on the Somme, had spoken with the cor respondents before their departure for the front line. They had invaded his post of command on a particularly lively sector of the French line for the time. The General occupies a dugout excavated for a German bat talion commander, who had remained in possession for the beter part of two years. It was dug deep down beneath the earth, nearly six solid yards of which guarded it from she'll or ordinary calibre ahd it was fitted up in a style which assurel a consid erable degree of confort to its in mates. This caused the general to excuse himself to the correspondents who, hi thought, might draw com parisons with his quarters and those of the soldiers. He said: 'If J had had this made for himself it would in all probability have meant my being put on the retired list.' As the correspondents left the gen eral remarked "You may go wher ever you like, but I cannot guarantee you immunity from shells or torpe does I wish you good hick. See that you come back here and have tea with me." ' Shells ranging frcm two-inch pom pus to the big missiles from eight- I inch howitzers fell intermittently all and deep communication trench with a. floor of earth in most places trod den hard by thousands of feet led to wards the front line some four thou sand yards away. To go through its ' intericate twistings and twinings ' meant a march of ; ten miles. The Officer appointed as guide, however, decided that for some distance at least it would be comparatively saf e j for the party to proceed across the ' OT.en AS . Sli-hr h9Ta in Vm o.mna.

Shells began to fall with greater frequency and it was decided to adopt the more prudent course of entering the communication trench. A couple of miles march in Indian file led through a destroyed village con-i-5 constantly under fire and breanches i nthe trench parapet especially in the 'vicinity of 1 batteries caused the par ty to make sudden dashes with inter vals of fifteen 7ards between each Rub Pain Rieht Out With; Small Trial Bottle of Old, Penetrating "St. Jacob's Oil." Kidneys cause Backache? No ! They have no nerves, therefore can not cause pain. Listen! Your back ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica or a strain, and the quickest relief is soothingv penetrating "St. Jacobs Oil." Rub it right on your painful back, and instantlv the soreness, stiffness and lameness disannparR Don't stav nrin pled! Get a small trial bottle ,of "St, Jacobs Oil" from your druggist and lim- ber up. A moment after it is aDnlied you'll wonder what became of the backache or lumbago pain. Rub old, honest "Sr. Jacobs Oil" whenever you have sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism or sprains, as it is abso- lutely harmless and doesn't burn the skin. Advt. Clean-Up-Sale of colored shoes.

In this way tho front line was reached. The majors in command of the two hattHnns hnldini? the advanc- . r . eu jjos.uuiis memseives caixit: uul oi their dugouts 10 act as guides and j led the way to the parallel of assault from which it was intended to start) the attack from the allied line. Only ; a few men were on duty at the look-' out posts, the others all having taken J shelter in their "funkholes" while the j artillery was firing heavily. In the most advanced advanced sap, whence j every detail of the oppositing German trenches could be seen, '.ne young j lieutenant in charge kept constant j' watch and ' reported to a telephone s operator nearby the results of the Trench artillerv fire. Just at the moment the rench trench mortars j were busy and their great missiles I weighing five hundred pounds could be watched during their entire slow j flight from the muzzle of the gun to j their destination Each one fell di- j rectly in the German trenches some I two hundred yards from where the j correspondents stood and the enor- j mous black clouds of earth thrown up by the explosions indicated that ! at least great material damage was j being done. , The return ; march was made for j half a mile along the parallel and was rendered very interesting from the fact that the occupants of a Ger man aeroplane had noticed the move ment in the trench. He immediately began to display an unfriendly spirit by dropping several bombs, which, however, did no damage. Meanwhile several French flyers approached and a lively exchange oi machine gun j fire ensured until the Germans re- j turned to their own linei,. ! In the interval the correspondents were advised on account of the brisk-! ness of the firing to take refuge in i the major's dugout. While there could hear much more plainly than in the open the terrific bombardment by several hundreds batteries then in progress in preparation for an aftaclc by the British north of the Somme, the earth seemingly acting as a more delicate conductor than the air. It whs afterward learned when the par ty returned under cover of night to the general's quarters that the Brit-i ia had taken a thousand prisoners -viid had made a further advance.
