War NeWS Tn Brief

The entire line of the Alt river in Ru- mania, running north and south through the country from the Transylvanian Alps to the Danube, now in the hands of the Teutonic allies. In all directions the in vaders are continuing to make progress with Bucharest, their main objective, daily coming nearer.
 The southern and eastern drive in the Alt region has brought the Teutonic forces across the Topolog river, while to the south, between Rochi de Vede and Valeni, their line has been drawn con- siderably nearer the Rumanian capital. Alexandria. 47 miles southeast of Bucha- rest, has been taken by Field Marshal Yon Mackensens troops.
 Considering the swiftness of the ad- vance of the Teutonic allies through Wal lacha, comparatively few prisoners have been taken, although semi official reports credit them with having captured consid- erable supplies of needed stores. Near Orsova 2S officers and 1900 men were made prisoner while in the Alt region, near Tigveni, 10 additional officers and 400 men fell into the hands of the Teutons.
 Tn the big battle extending over a front of about r miles northwest and northeast of Monastir-between Trnovo and Makovo-the entente allies, accord- ing to Berlin, have met with severe defeat through the failure of an attack launched against the lines of the allies

At the BiiOu

There is a merry, sparkling, bubbling,
 'girlie" show at the Bijou this week. sStep Lively" is the name of it, and judging from the action of the play it is not inappropriate. The piece Is a musical melange of nonsense dished out in the most approved style with a K5eral DOT tion of pep on the side.
 A score of comedy maidens dressed in the most bewildering number of frocks, abbreviated and unabbreviated, are on the stage every few minutes throughout the two hours of music, song, dance and comedy. In addition to having an unusual amount of snap and go in them they possess voices that are above the aver age and appear at their best in every number.
 The principals are exceptionally good Hal Johnson, a female impersonator, who is vastly different from the majority of such actors, impersonates the part of schoolgirl in her teens to perfec- tion. George P. Watson as "Dr. Fleec- um" lives up to his part and shows that he is capable of handling the role in which he is cast. Henry Rumhauser," the comedy role, is handled by Clyde Lcng in an acceptable manner. Florence Little as Mary" Rumhauser's ward, was refreshing and vivacious in her role as the loveSick maiden.
 Naomi a girl violinist. played and swayed to the tunes she produced in a manner that made hit with the audi ence. In addition to being talented, she knew how to get the most out of her in- strument. Billy Wyse, in a blackface part, furnished greater portion of the comedy.
 If one is looking for an entertainment that is chuck full of wit, humor and a dash of attractive broifers to finish the whole thing, the Bijou fills the bill this week. There is dozen late song hits of the whistling variety in the show and most of them are well sung. Manager Cassidy announces the famous rural drama, 'The Old Homestead for next week.

 Dear Sirs: Having taken BOWERS PREPARATION with such good re- suits, wish to inform you what effect 1t had upon me. Several years ago my physician treated me for indiges- ton and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. took all kinds of medi- cines with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. Nv mind was made up to have same per formed, and had decided to go to an lnfirmary, but friend heard of my attentions and advised me not to % to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of BOWERS PREPARATION. I took a bottle which swept greenish mass from my system, including a number of gen. uine gall stones. Thank heaven. I took my friends advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Prep aration.
 Symptoms in my case were bilious ness, clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back.
 write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am en- ployed by the Nashville Fire Depart ment and will always recommend your medicine.

 In the Carnia sector of the Austro-Ital- ian theatre and east of Gorizia the Aus trians are vigorously shelling the Ital- ians. On the Russian front there has been considerable activity by both the Russians and Germans at various points.
 Comparative calm still prevails all along the front in France, so far as in fantry engagements are concerned A Berlin semi-official dispatch says there are indications that the entente allies contemplate fresh offensives, probably near Armentieres and east of Arras, where heavy artillery bombardments are being carried out and also on the St. Mihiel salient, southeast of Verdun.
 Another semi official dispatch from Der lin quotes Constantinople advices to the effect that Arabs on the Tripoli-Tunis frontier in north Africa have defeated the Italians and carried the fight across the border into Tunis against the French.

 The imperial troupe of Japs was delft and agile. A comedy Japanese woman showed how her knowledge of the art might protect her, when, in panto- mime, she defended herself from a bunch of thugs who attempted to rob her of her purse.
 The Hippodrome Four, presenting Din glespieis Night School, were clever, es- pecially the conventional Jewish student
 Leipsig, the card expert. presented a series of mystifying tricks with the paste boards. His stunts were marvels in sleight of hand. The dancing of The Minstrels'' featured their blackface act, although the opening song was rather striking. Linton and Lawrence were ex- cellent in songs and dances.
