."THE FLASH OF AN EMERALD"
Robert Warwick as Russion ReyOlu-
tiOnary and Gentleman Burglar.

World Film corporation present the
fve-part photo-play "The Flash of an
Emerald" produced by Mons. Albert
Capellani.
Robert Warwick carries this photo
play on his broad shoulders; he has
to work very hard, for the character
he portrays is singularly complex in
its Nillanies AS Lucius Waldeck he is
thief and ear-murderer then he poses
as a revolutionary from Russia and is
popular with the women. But he is a
clumsy thief. He presents the emerald
to the daughter of the woman from
whom he robbed it. His fate was
sealed by that act, of course. His ad-
ventues multiplied; but mis- end was
inevitable. He committed suicide.
They always do-these polished ad-
venturers who leave the human ele.
ment out Of calculation in their vii
lianies. So:
Albert Capellani is the producer OF
this picture, which has an excellent
cast and some fine settings, which IN

shrine of Saint Anne of Beaupre, in

Germans Gain Positions.

London, Aug. 15.-Attacking Brit
ish positions near Pozieres, on the
Somme front, the Germans last night
gained a foothold temporarily in a
portion of the trenches taken from
them.
The statement follows:
Last night, west of Pozieres, the
enemy gained a temporary footing in
a portion of the trenches captured by
us yesterday. Otherwise there were
no developments on the British front
between the Somme and the Ancre.
"South of the Ypres salient we car
ried out a successful raid without in
curing any losses ourselves. There
has been further mining activity. We
forced an entry into German gal
lery at the bluff north of the Ypres-
Imperial Valley press., 1916-08-15

Paris, Aug. 15.--"The capture of the
third line of the German defense from
Hardecourt to the Somme was preced-
ed by a bombardment so intense that
for radius of 20 kilometers the
ground seemed to be shaken by an un-
interrupted earthquake" says the La
Liberte correspondent in the north of
France.
'1n the trenches the infantry watch
ed the formidable artillery prepara-
tions," the correspondent adds, wait
ing patiently for the moment to rush
to the assault. Finally, as If obeying
an order which had been heard stimuli
taneously on the entire front, the bat
teries ceased firing. The silence last
ed only few minutes. Several blows
on the whistle were given. The clank-
ing of 'ayonets being adjusted could
Re heard. A few seconds more, and
there was a tumult Of confused orders
and then the shout of forward
Human forms surged from the
hack holes, running madly forward.
The noise cf the warning sirens of
the adversary and the cracking of
their m ,chine guns told that the bat
tie had begun. The positions that the
French captured, which were exceed
ingly strong and along the entire front
Of the defensive system of the Ger
mans, comprised two or three lines Of
trenches end even four lines at some
points.
Numerous works and armed forts
and fortified redoubts fell into the
French hands in exactly one hour and
twenty minutes. The French losses
were much less than had been expected.
At Maurepas they did not have 300
men disabled, and it was at this point
of the summit of the plateau, the
southern part Of which had been occu-
pied the day before, that the combat
was hottest. The Germans hung on,
defending the ground inch by inch, try
ing to cope with the French and hur-
iiedly bringing up reinforcements.
"Their resistance was vain, however.
The French, after hand-to-hand fight
irg, pushed forward and entered the
village, which had been completely de-
stroyed by shells. The French are con-
tinuing their progress and their pos
session of the entire village seems
probable"

Pierce Lines.

Rome, Aug. 15.--Italian troops con
tinued yesterday pressing the Aus
trians back ON the Carso plateau, and
east of Hill 212 pierced another strong
line of hostile entrenchments. About
800 prisoners were captured by the
Italians, says the official announce
ment of this operation.
ain the Gorilla area artillery duels
took place." the statement says. THE
eremy's batteries shelled the town and
bridges over the Isonso.
"On the remainder of the front small
hut sharp encounters took place on
the slopes of Forame, at the head of
the Costeana valley, on the Boile, and
on the slopes CT Monte Civarene. The
el.emy was repulsed everywhere.
"Last night hostile aircraft dropped
bombs on Monfalcone and other places
on the Lower Isonso. No damage nor
casualties have been reported"

Austrians Fight Hard.

Rome, Aug. 15.--Descriptions Of the
vigorous Italian offensive in the vicin-
isy of Gorilla are coming in almost
hourly The Austrians are resisting
obstinately on the San Gabrielle line
and San Marco heights, but it is i'm
probable that this is their real line Of
defense, as they have a new point OF
resistance on the high plains of Balm
s;zza, overlooking the Gorilla plains.
which interferes with the free move
rient of Italian troops.
The Austrians, although badly de-
feated at Gorilla, still are strong and
full of fight. General Cadorno's fur
ther progress probably will be slow, as
every inch of advance is being con-
tested.
Fighting continues cn the other
front.

Resume Offensive.

With the British army in France.
Aug. 15.-The British infantry has re-
newed it's offensive, attacking at three
points early today over a total of
about two miles of front and making
important gains north of the Somme
in addition to those of the French yes
terday. North of Pozieres, toward
the Moquet farm, British and Aus
tralian troops took a 500 yards depth
on mile front. North of Bazentia-
.le-Petit they mastered more command
ing ground, which brings them closer
to Martinpuich. South of Guillemont
they gained a ridge, but were blasted
off it by the German guns.

ly followed German center attacks,

More Hopeful Outlook
For Avoiding Big Strike

washington, Aug. l0.--ProSpectS Tor
averting nationwide railroad strike,
or at least for the formulation Of some
tentative program which will be the
ground work for further negotiation,
frightened today after President Will
son had conefrred with 80 chiefs of
the great brotherhoods.
After the conference, the brother
hood men declared the president S
grasp Of the situation and the posi-
ton of the men must result in an un-
lderstanding, and others in touch with
the conference said the representatives
Of the men showed a disposition to CO.
operate to avoid strike.
After hearing the leaders Of the
men two hours, the president sent for
the managers for conference at
o'clock this afternoon.
The president, according to those
who attended the conference showed a
familiarity with the situation that sur
prised the men.
"The president was most sympathe-
tic" said one Of the brotherhood lead
ers, "and his surprising knowledge of
the situation and Of our position may
result in an understanding being
reached"
The president, it is said, submitted
no counter-proposition to 4he men,
but he held out for an adjustment by
Legislation if necessary.
The impression prevailed among the
brotherhood leaders that as last
resort the president might ask con-
gress for eight-hour day legislation.
The leaders explained to the presi-
dent their stand against arbitration
by saying that they were carrying out
the wishes Of the 600 delegates who
sat with them at their meeting with
the federal mediators. The brother
hood leaders presented to the president
detailed reports of the vote cast in
favor Of a general strike
The discussion this morning, it was
learned, centered largely about the
possibility of reaching an agreement
on some form of arbitration. 1t was
considered possible that tentative
agreement might be reached providing
for arbitration of the demands Of the
men for an eight-hour. day and for
time and a half overtime, with the
elimination of the counter-proposals
Ct the employers.
The first development Of the day
was declaration by A. B. Garretson,
speaking for the brotherhoods, that
the men were through with the prop
osition Of arbitrating under the New
lands act.
"The principal objection to the ex-
listing form of arbitration on the part
Of the brotherhoods," said Garretson,
increases the difficulty that has been
experienced in selecting neutral arbi-
traitors who could do justice to the
cause of the men. In the past there
have been neutral arbitrators Of high
standing and intelligence, such as John
H. Finley, Of New York, and Seth
Low, former mayor. No matter how
