Central Powers Quick to

BY Associated Press,

The disaffection in the Russian army
which resulted in the forced evacua-
ton of the greater part of Galicia and
Bukowina by still loyal troops appar-
emily has not been eradicatcd. although
a stiffening in the Russian defense in
Galicia. Bulsowina recently had indi-
Gated that the Russians were to make
no more voluntary rctrograde move
ments.
Following Tuesdays reports of the
falling back BY the Russians in east
crn Hukowina toward the Rcssara bia
frontier comes the news that. disloyal
to their colors, the Russians in south
ern Moldavia from Fokshani north
ward have quit their trenches and
fled in disorder. The enemy by reason
OF this detection has materially bet
tered his positions for an advance
eastward and at last accounts was
continuing to develop his success.
Russian Casualties Heavy.
The Berlin war office says the Rus
slams have suffered heavily in men
killed or wounded and have lost more
than 1,oo0 men made prisoner ana
three guns and 80 machine guns.

in connection with an invasion of Mol
daNias from Bukowina, undoubtedly
would result in disaster to all Mol
davia and also prove a valuable asset
for a Teutonic advance toward Russian
territory.
kerensky Determined.
Meanwhile NJ. Kerensky, the Rus
sian premier has reiterated to the
closing session of the conference at
Moscow, the determination of the pro-
risional government to protect the re-
suits achieved by the revolution and
declared that no counter revolutionary
attempts will be countcnanced.
A continuation of the stormy wealth
er is still holding up major operations
in France and Belgium, although the
British here and there still are en-
gagged in minor trench raiding activ-
tiles, in which small positions have
been captured and additional prison
crs taken.
Quiet at Verdun.
The fighting on the Vcrdun front
for the moment also has reached n
pause, only the big guns being active.
There have been artillery ducls along
the Aisnc front
Hard fighting is in progress be
tween the Italians and Austrians OH
the Bainsizzl plateau and on the
heights around Gorizia. In the former
sector the Austrians are defending;
tenaciously a powerfully fortified line
to which the Italians have come with
in striking distance.
In the fighting the Italians are still
using large nC.nocrs of airplanes
which are effectively bombarding en-
emy positions. More than LOCO add-
tional prisoners and numbers of ma =

Italians.
To the south on the Carso plateau
the heavy fighting of last week has
given way to artillery duels and pa

THE ISIS

From the past he has forgotten and
cannot recall no matter how hard he
tries, comes a woman to confront
John Smith" in The Man Who Forgot.
the newest World Picture-Brady-
Made. This woman claims that she is
Smiths wife. Whether she is or not,
Smith" cannot say. for his memory is
gone so far as things farther back
than five years ago are concerned.
This woman comes into his life at a
very crucial moment. He is engaged to
a very lovely girl and he is fighting
to push through very importan mt bill
in congress. The opposition uses this
woman from his past to help them in
their efforts to defeat Smiths" bill.
What can Smith" do? Is there no way
out for him? Must he go down to de-
feat and lose the girl he loves, just be-
cause he cannot remember? These are
some of the big questions in The Man
Who Forgot. the superb World Pic
ture- Brady-Made which, with Robert
Warwick as the star. will be seen at
the Isis theatre on Monday and Tues
day. See this splendid offering and

THE GARRICK

The Years of the Locust, to be shown
at the Garrick the first two days of
next week, has a story, which, while
not new. lends that life interest neces-
sary to successful productions. The
star is Fannie Ward, and that alone
speaks for the merit of the picture
as she is known only in successes.
She has great opportunity to use her
powers in her role and she does not
lay idle in the possibility.
AS a wife in unhappy marriage to
a wildcat CRATER and in love with
another, as one who is left penniless
as the result Of the husbands treach-
cry discovered, as the wife of the
man she loves and her first sup
posed-dead husbands arrival, and the
final battle and tragedy when all
trouble is cleared. you can well imag-
inc the gripping run of the story. The
scenes are placed from New York to
South Africa.

THE GRAND

The program for the first of the
week at the Grand seems to, be one
of the stuff that pleases.'
Flying Lordons, in comedy aerial
work, are rumored to be clever. Bayes
cisms, carry their own line of enter
tainment. Whitneys operate Dolls
is an act of novelty comedy singing.
Nash & E. ans, comedy singing, talk
ing, and novelty roller skating ought
to prove the right kind in at least
some of the variety of entertainment.
Joyous Joys, in what is termed Fun
on a Playground. while unknown just
what this is to be, sounds mighty good
and We (fans) are not to be disap-
pointed.
The best film offerings will round
out a program that promises to be
above the regular run Of vaudeville.
We shall see.
