l.. & s. THEATER

| OF the seven reels of pictures to be
shown at the L. & s. theater tonight,
two reels is quite feature. "The
Heart of Show Girl" is the picture
in question and will, without doubt,
prove highly entertaining to those
who may see it.
The story is wound about Elspeth
Mariner, young premiere danseuse-
the regulation spoiled child, and Frank
Masterson, dramatic critic Master
son is the most hated as we'll as the
most respected critic in New York,
for all his caustic criticisms.
The story opens as Elspeth, flushed
and triumphant in her latest success,
enters her dressing room. The next
morning, in bed, she reads Masterson's
scathing criticism; that her real name
IS doubtless Lizzie Schmitt, that she
spelled and not lady, and so forth
land so on. She is furious and Sue
ceeds in bringing bad case of nerves,
thereby causing the doctor TO order
her to the seashore, sw2y from tie
ma addening crowd.
Meantime, to get away from the
confusion of city life, Masterson, in
cognito, takes a small fishing smack
at the seashore and is enjoying q most
carefree existence.
The two meet and spend some Won
derful days together, gradually being
enmeshed by that heartless little bit
OF trouble, Cupid. One day when Els
peth almost browns they show their
love for each other. Shortly afterward
they take trip around to the Magis-
trate's office and then. for the first
time learn the others identity. Their
Is defiance. hesitation and petulance
for time, but in the end the Magis-
trate finishes his nefarious work, robs
the male IDIOT of several cartwheels,
and they start on q rough and stormy
cruise over the sea of matrimony.

WAR SUM MARY,

Desperate efforts by the Germans to
retain a foothold in Delville wood on
the Somme front have failed, accord
ing to the London war Office, which to-
day announces that the entire wood is
in British possession. This position
was defended by the famous Branden-
burgers. Delville wood Immediately
adjoins Longueval, portion of which
Is still in German possession.
The success of the British announc-
ed today is expected greatly to facili-
tate their efforts to clinch their hold
on Longueval and advance along the
road to Bapaume. This highway runs
through the village.
The fighting for Delville wood is
said by observers to have been vir-
tually the fiercest Of the war On the
1000 yard front during one period
three shells a minute fell on every
yard.
The battle at Verdun is still raging
with violence. Paris reports Ger

work northeast of the citadel, which
was checked The clearing of German
trenches at Auberive in the Cham
pagne, by Russian accommodating g
party is also announced.
The Russian advance directed at
Brody in northeastern Galicia is con-
tinuing successfully, Petrograd an
nounces. The Russians are hammering
at the Austrian lines in the Slonevka
region, from which river Gen. Sakhar-
offs forces have driven the Austrians
back to the Boldurovka, branch OF
the Styr, which runs through Brody.
The Russian movement threatens to
compel the evacuation of Brody and
facilitate an advance toward Lemberg

TEUTONS TO LET
THE UNITED STATES
FEED THE POLES
INFORMAL ASSURANCES GIVEN
THAT WILSON'S APPEAL WILL
NOT BE FRUITLESS.

Washington, D. c., July 2S.-Infor.
NAL assurances that Austria Hungary
is disposed to respond favorably to
President Wilson's personal appeal
for permission for shipment Of Ameri-
can relief supplies to Poles in terri
tory held by Austrian forces have been
given personally by Foreign Minister
Burian to Ambassador Penfeld.
The state department also received
today from Ambassador Page the Brit
ish foreign office statement of Great
Britain's willingness to permit impor-
tations of foodstuffs into Poland to
be administered by commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson, provided
the German and Austrian occupying
armies would not seize or remove
products of the occupied territory
The condition, it is feared, may block
negotiations.
Mr.. Penfield reported today that he
delivered personally to Count Won Bur-
ian on July 26 President Wilson's plea
in behalf of famine stricken Poles and
that the foreign minister promised to
deliver the presidents communication
Immediately to Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. The minister's unofficial opin-
ion was that the request would be met
by Austria and Germany.
Ambassador Penfield was told by
the foreign minister that Austria was
administering affairs in one-third of
Russian Poland and that famine con-
ditions there have been greatly ameli-
GRATED in recent months by good crops
and management.
State department officials regard the
reception of the presidents letter at
the Austrian foreign office as hope
full sign of concessions which will
eventually permit American relief
measures for the starving Poles

EPIDEMIC IS UNCHECKED
Thirty.Five More Children Die Of In
fantiIe Paralysis In New York
In Last "a Hours.

New York, July 2s.-The infantile
paralysis epidemic still Is unchecked.
During the twenty-four hour period
ending at 10 o'clock there were 1874
new cases and thirty-five fatalities
from the disease reported in the five
boroughs of New York City.
Des Moines, July 2S.-The state
board Of health today took added pre-
cautions and sent out an increased
amount OF literature in an effort to
check the epidemic Of infantile paral-
ysis, nine additional cases of which
have developed in Iowa in three days.
1t was said that the state health
officials do not consider the situation
as serious. They believe there Is a
possibility that in several cases a
wrong diagnosis has been made and
that the seeming paralysis may be
due to convulsion, the result of hot
weather and indigestion.
twenty-five cases Of the plague now
have been reported
Four deaths have occurred Five
cases have developed at Mason City,
the greatest number in any single To-
