ACTORS BOND FORFEITED.
Ernest Glendening, star of expert
ence, = Fails to Come Back to
Kenosha to Pay His Fine.

Ernest Glendening, star Of the play
Experience now playing in Milwau-
kee, failed to keep his promise to Ke-
nosha police officers to return to Keno
sha and answer charges of speeding
in the municipal court and this morn
ing Judge Randall in the municipal
court, declared his bond of twenty-five
dollars forfeited to the city. At the
same time a similar action was taken
in the case Of DR.. A. H. Waterman Of
Chicago. Glendening is still playing
in Milwaukee and it is just possible
that Sheriff Stahl will slip up to the
Davidson Theatre there and arrest the
star and bring him to Kenosha to ans
Wer charges of violating the county or
dinance against speeding. It is thought
that Glendening was aware of the fact
that charges w--e to be brought
against him under both the city and
county ordinances and that he figured
out that he would be saving money by
FORGETTING the bond he had left with

London, May 24.-Spurred on by
their successes in taking the larger
portion Of Fort Douaumont from the
Germans, the French are continuing
their terrific drive in an effort to dis
lodge the enemy from the small angle
they still retain.
Fighting continued with extreme
violence on both banks of the Meuse
along the Verdun front during all Of
the night. Two German counterat-
lacks on French positions on Hill S04
failed completely, the war Office an
nounces in Paris. The French made
further gains within Fort Douaumont.

Of the hill the Germans attacked after
intense artillery preparation, but were
not permitted to reach the French

East of the Meuse the principal
fighting was in the sector between
Thiamont and Douaumont. The Ger

are said to have suffered enormous
losses. They succeeded in reoccupy-

Thiamont farm which had been cap.

specifically denies the French claim
that practically all of what remains
of shellwrecked Fort Douaumont is in
French hands.
The French success is considered
by military critics here to have shak-
en- the whole German line at Verdun.
Douaumont Fort was the most inn

regarded as having nullified the most
significant achievement of the Ger
