WAR STORY
Marvellous French Official
War Film To Be Shown
AT The Rex.

AT last the people of Hopkinsville
have the opportunity of seeing the
great war in all its grim and thrilling
realism, of seeing il just as it is, not
as it might have been or what one side
or the other would have it; of seeing
history as it is made at the lannon's
very mouth.
The official French Government 5
pictures of the struggle to the death
along the battle-scarred western front
have arrived in this country. They
were taken under the direction of the
Great Army General Staff of the
French Government, not as mere
colorful incidents or interesting in
phases of modern hostilities, but to
supply an imperishable and unim-
peachable record such as no other
war has produced; a record which,
by the turn of the handle of a pro-
iecting machine may be vitalized into
action. This picture record in which
men risked their lives to make COM
plete is destined for the French Ma
tional Archive through sE. Alexander
Powell, who, as war correspond
ent, has followed the fortunes of the
Allied armies.
The official Governments motion
pictures have been secured for pre-
sentation to audiences of the Rex The
atre on Tuesday, Dec. 5, matinee and
night.
Their authenticity is guaranteed by
the French Government.
For the first time it will be possible
to witness great artillery action with
the large calibre guns, hurting their
shells against an unseen enemy.
There are no words between the
covers of the dictionary that can ade-
quately describe what a great artille-
ry action is like, wrote Mr.. Powell.
But you can see it in these pictures,
just as the camera caught it. Trees
swapping like carrots and gaping holes
as large as cellars suddenly appearing
in the fields. Surely one cannot want !
a more thrilling two hours than there
IS to be had at the Rex to-day. /

many people who will buy these hol-
iday stickers at this ninth annual sale
do not know how this idea originated.
While Red Cross Seals really date
back to the Civil War when Charity
Stamps" were first used, the first
campaign to sell holiday stickers for
the tuberculosis fight was only nine
years ago in Delaware. Miss Emily
p. Bissell, of Wilmington, read an
article by Jacob Riis describing
stamps used for tuberculosis work in
Norway, and she conceived the idea
of similar plan here. Single hand
ed, she launched sale which result
ed in $1,000 in clear money. When
Miss Bissell tried to convince the
American Red Cross that this idea
should be made national as peace
activity OF that society, she met with
opposition, but finally persuaded the
authorities, with the result that on
an investment of few hundred dol
lars $l35, OOJ worth Of Seals were sold
in 1908 and the great national cam
paign was launched. Since then the
sale has gone forward by leaps and
bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal
is an institution in the United States,
and offers to every one chance to
help in the peoples fight against the
peoples disease. Last year over 49,
600, 600 Seals were sold, and this year
the American Red Cross and The
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis, who
conduct the sale, are out for lOO,-
100000 sale or 81, 100000 for the Tu-
berculosis War.
The policy on which the sale is con-
Quoted is that the money, except for
the deduction of legitimate expenses,
shall remain in the community where
the Seals are sold.

FREEZE OUT POPULAR GAME.
Even Men in the City Lookup Kick on
the Frigid Atmosphere of the
City Hall This Week.

The efforts of the city, if such eff
forts are being made, to economic on
the contamination of coal for heating
the City Hall ARE bringing a lot of pro-
tests. Last night the council chamber
was so cold that it was necessary for
the Board Of Education to meet in the
mayor office and the kick of the cold
building came from pretty nearly
every department. The strongest kick
came from the frigid atmosphere in the
city lookup in which number of I'M
fortunates were confined. The alder
men were being bombarded this morn
ing to make provision to heat the City
Hall by night as well as by day.
Pretty good provision is made for heat
ing the building on council meeting
nights, but it is declared that a night
engineer is necessary to keep the build
ing warm on cold nights. It is prob
able that the matter will be one for
the consideration of the council at its
next regular meeting.

SAYS "HONOR IS SATISFIED"
Woman Shows No Regret for Slashina
Sister-in-Law With Razor But De
clares That She Is Willing to Re-
frain from Future Attack.

The case of the state of Wisconsin
against Mary Gallo, case in which
woman, the mother of seven small
children, is charged with attempted
murder, must go to the "big court. ;"
This decision was reached late Tues
day afternoon after much of the day
of the Municipal Court had been given
over to a semi-oficial hearing in
an attempt to secure the parole Of
the italian mother.
The whole story of the causes lead.
ing up to the murderous attack made
by Mrs. Gallo on her sister-in-law, Mrs
Consetta Biscardi, on the fourth of
last October, was laid bare. Mrs.
Gallo showed no signs of penitence.
She declared, however, that Cher honor
had been satisfied and that if a plan
could be reached for her to be paroled
for an indefinite time that she would
be willing to give assurance 20 the
court that there would be no further
trouble between her and Mrs Biscardi.
The other woman was also in court ac-
eompanied by her husband. She show
ed no willingness to consent to the
parole of Mrs. Gallo but insisted that
the case go to a trial in the 'tbig
courts as the Circuit Court is known
among the people Of her race. There
was no sign Of pleaaiRgs for lenieney
by Mrs. GaIio q : of l,et rela-
tives and her brother was Just as
firm in his demand that she 90 to trial.
Some time ago Mrs. Gallo waived
examination and was held for trial on
a charge of attempted murder in the
Circuit Court The fact that she had
seven little children and that another
little child was coming soon caused the
officials to take special interest in
the case and they sought to find some
way by which the differences between
the two women could be settled and
insure peace and at the same time give
Mrs. Gallo back to her family. Mrs.
Gallo declared that her sister-in-law
had charged her with infdelity to her
husband and that on account of this
charge her husband had threatened to
leave her. She declared that the story
of her unfaithfulness had been without
foundation and that when she found
that it had been circulated through one
near to her in kim she decided
the only way to satisfy and vindicate
her honor was to use the knife. Mrs.
Biscardi still bears the mark of the
wound made by the razor welded by
the other woman.
Mrs. Gallo is not in Jail Bond has
been furnished for her and she left
court on Tuesday afternoon fully adj
wised that she must appear to defend
herself against charges of attempted
murder at the next term of the
Municipal Court.

SAYS G. AND M. WAS LOOTED.
Judge Lands Likens Handling of West
Side Line to Burglary" in De-
nying Attorneys Fees.

In the opinion of Federal Judge Ian.
dis, the Chicago and Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railroad has been looted. This
opinion found expression Tuesday in a
statement made from the bench during
the hearing into the suits fled by var
ious attorneys for fees. During the
years of litigation more than fifty law
yers performed legal services and the
aggregate bill rendered ran up almost
to 100000.
Judge Lands believed the fees were
excessive and ordered the attorneys to
bring in statements showing the SER
vices rendered.
The claim of Attorney Frank McCul-
1och for 100000 was up yesterday. For
almost week Attorney McCulloch has
been attempting to explain to the
judge just why he should get 100000.
In commenting on the affairs of the
road, Judge Lands said: "The way
this road has been looted would make
downright burglary look like Sunday
school It was completely looted, sys-
tematically, in forty different subter.
ranean ways"

municipal government 81 his lis Il,
protection to his property and personal
rights, for proper school facilities for
his children, fire protection and for
many details of these several main is
sues. For instance citizens should de-
mand that trained and efficient city
inspector Of plumbing and of electric
wiring be chosen and well enough paid
SO that he can be trusted to do his
work well.
He showed how big store in a lit
tie, tagging, unprogressive town would
be an impossibility If the store is to
be big, up-to-date and carry a good
stock it must have a patronage from
people who can buy the articles offer
ed. He suggested that Marshall Field IS
in a little town would probably not be
long lived. Then he showed how it is
to the benefit of the business man in
given town to build that town up in
every way He pointed out one town
IN the northern part of the state where
the merchants found their rural trade
was dwindling away so they installed
a $4,000 municipal building with
kitchen well equipped, with assembly
hall, rest rooms, and retiring rooms.
They invited the farmer wives to
bring their lunches with them when
they came to town to shop and eat
them there, making their own coffee
in the kitchen, or making other use
of the place which they cared to. I'm
modiately the rural trade began to
pick up.
He closed his talk by re-iterating his
statement that people of town may
have as good or as bad a government
as they choose. If they want good
government their first duty is to get
out and vote and in other ways to
make themselves felt when election
time comes.

for Stanley Hart Who Disappeared
on Monday.

The local police have been asked to
aid In a search that is being made for
Stanley Hart, 26 years old and resi-
dent of Russell, who disappeared I'M
der mysterious circumstances on last
Monday. Hart had been working for
a farmer who lives on the Sheridan
Road near Waukegan and he had gone
to Waukegan with this man. Hart had
expected to be married within a month
and he had gone to Waukegan to make
arrangements for renting a house at
Russell. He had considerable money
on his person. When Hart went to
Waukegan, he expected to return to
his farm home at six O'Clock in the
afternoon, but he failed to keep an
appointment with his farmer employer

since. His friends at Russell think it
possible that he was attacked and
robbed. Local officials have found no
trace of the man here.

CITIZENS OFFER The MONEY
Treasurer Blair Is Shown That He Has
a Thousand Dollars to Meet All I'M
mediate Demands and More Money
Will Be Available Early in 1917.

Claims for the payment of mother $
pensions are not going to be held up
and today County Treasurer James W..
Blair paid all orders of this kind pre-
sented to him at the First National
Bank Holding up of orders was due
to a misunderstanding. At the last
meeting Of the County Board the sum
Of one thousand dollars was appro-
priated by the board for the payment
Of orders of this sort which might come
in before the first Of January. The
treasurer had not been advised of this
fact and if he knew of the thousand
dollars appropriation he considered it
as o fund to meet payments in 1917
The whole matter was threshed out
last night and the orders are being
paid. Before this arrangement was
reached one Of the most prominent
citizens of Kenosha called on the
treasurer and announced his willing
ness to send his personal check in
order to advance any money need
ed He was informed that this
would not be necessary.
1T was the intention Of the County
Board to make full provision for the
payment of these orders" said County
Clerk Jones this morning. cit is prob
able that this fact was not known to
the county treasurer and his deputy
at the time the appropriation was
madeg NThe board acted as it did on
The gFaVse of the judges who held that
Sha, cltims for mothers pensions were
jufaYas valid as any of the claims paid
QUIZ by the county and that the attor-
ney general had held that these claims
must be paid. No greater appropria-
sion was made to this fund on account
Of the fact that the board expected
the repayment to the county of the
twenty-five hundred dollars which has
been expended for the payment, of
these orders during the past year which
Is properly chargeable against the city
of Kenosha In addition to this there
Is something like four hundred and
fifty dollars due the county from the
various towns. With this money and
The one thousand dollars appropriated
IL was the idea of the County Board
members that the treasurer would be
able to have plenty of funds to meet
all of these orders. Tt was the inten-
ton Of Supervisor Luke, who made the
motion to appropriate the one thousand
dollars, that this be used for the pay
ment Of these claims during the re-
mainder Of the present year and the
amount was not properly considered as
an appropriation for the coming year.
The county IS real gamer by the
mother IS pension act as under the law
one-third Of the amount paid out is
returned to the county by the state and
this is retained as fee for the admin
stration Of the law"
The statement of the county clerk
covers the matter entirely and it is
declared that it is entirely satisfactory
20 all people interested in the admin
istration Of the law.

without consideration, the sugges-

on Tuesday, was the general view
of public men in England today.
In England the offer of peace is
regarded more or less as bid for

held that the proposal as made
would not mean an honorable
peace. 1t is admitted here that

offer and that out of this confer
ence may come counter PROPOSE

to peace. There is no sign of re-
