itself had been built for 500 patients.
which is ample for q camp of this
size under ordinary conditions The
epidemic conditions were being met
by treating measles in tents, which
think is probably just as good for the
patients, as beng in hospital. The
death rate at Camp Wheeler at pres
emit is very large, due to the fact that
they have had a large epidemic Of
measles and that among q thousand
cases they were bound to have a GER
tain number of those cases followed
by pneumonia. The principal reason
for this camp being affected is due to
the fact, I think that troop all come
from the neighboring states. These
states are apparently settled and in
the country districts the people have
not had measles they therefore de-
velop the disease as soon as thew are
exposed to the infection. The nneslee
epidemic, I think at Camp Wheeler is
on the Decline"

screen, is the star. Cecil B. De Mile.
that talented exponent of modern
photoplay technique and master crea-
tor of cinema triumphs, is the pro-
Queer. Jeanie MACPHERSON, ora OF
the foremost writer's for the screen
and author of many film successes, is
responsible for the story.
Farrar, De Mile and MACPHERSON,
star, producer and author of "Joan
the Woman" have again combined
their super-talents in behalf of a gil
gantic cinema spectacle based on a
page of the history of America when
Montezuma and his Aztecs were con-
quered by the Spaniards, headed by
Cortez. The first use of gun powder
in America is shown and greater
battle scenes than disclosed in "Joan"
are offered.
Although the production presents
immense spectacular displays, includ-
motion picture. it's interest is not con-
ing the highest set ever built for
fined to this feature alone. A STIR
ring romance between the Aztec
Cortez, including many exceptionally
tator's interest upon the leading
characters of the play in the unusual
development of the story.
Never in her career has Geraldine
Farrar been afforded a vehicle that
discloses to better advantage her
wonderful histrionic talents. That
this is her greatest cinema character
ization, not excepting "Joan," is gen.
orally conceded,
Wallace Reid, who appeared oppo-
site Farrar in "Joan,' again portrays
the leading support to the famous ac-
tress. One of the most powerful sup
porting casts ever assembled is evil
denced in this production.
THE Woman God Forgot" marks a
distinct advance in the annals Of the
motion picture. Just as "Joan. the
Woman" was considered the triumph
of the season at its release so does
this new De Mile spectacle disclose
the latest achievements in the cinema
art. See it at the Isis today where it
is showing for the last time in con.
nection with Charlie Chaplin in his

SHORTAGE OF coAL-No FAMINE
Coal Dealers Declare That Kenosha is

if Cars Come Slowly.

Wild rumors were flying about Ke-
nosha today that the entire hard coal
supply of the city had been exhausted
and that there was hardly any soft
coal or coke to be had, but these rum
ors are not confirmed at the offices of
the various selling agencies. There is
shortage of hard and soft coal and
coke, but orders are being filed and
the selling agencies declare that many
cars of coal are on the track for Ke-
nosha and that they have no reason
to fear that there will be a famine.
:" We have filled in some way every
order we have received, = said one of
the dealers this morning. 1--WE have
coal and more coal coming and this
applies to hard coal as well as soft
coal. As we have said right along, we
expect to take care of the demands OF
the city, but in order to do this we
must limit sales to individual eusto.

GOT DIAMONDS AND CASH
Miller Who Had Lived in Kenosha for
Less Than Two Months Is Sought
by Milwaukee Detectives But They
Find No Trace Of Him Here.

Frank Miller, former Kenoshan and
one of the men who was working at
the Lawler ice house at Twin Lakes at
the time of the big fire early in Janu-
airy, is being sought by police officers
Of many cities on charges of grand
larceny and it is thought that he may
be found in Kenosha.
Miller is charged with having opened
the safe at the Jack Haffner roadhouse
near Milwaukee on the night of Janu-
airy Goth and is alleged to have secured
from cash drawer in the safe dia-
monds and other precious stones to the
value of 81, 200 and little over a
hundred dollars in cash.
The robbery was one of the largest
ever pulled off in Milwaukee and the
facts of it have been held up in hopes
that Miller could be located. Milwau-
kee detectives have been working in
Kenosha for several days. seeking to
get some trace of Miller.
Miller is 25 years Of age and it is
declared that he came to Kenosha from
Buffalo, N. Y, the latter part of De-
cember of 1916. He remained about
kenosha working at odd jobs until the
Ice cutting season opened and then he
went out to Twin Lakes and got job
as wheelsman on one of the lakes. He
remained there until the night of the
fire and that night he disappeared
Miller appeared to be of the better
class. He was well dressed and seemed
to have a lot of good clothing for a
man who was working on the ice. He
went from Kenosha to Milwaukee and
he took a job as a porter at the Half
ner roadhouse. He had been there only
few days when the proprietor Of the
place found that the safe had been
opened and the till forced and the
jewelry and money taken. The list of
diamonds secured by the robber reads
like the catalogue of jewelry store.
Local police officers declare that
there is little reason to believe that
Miller will be found in Kenosha. They
assert that he was transient here and
that so far as they can learn he had
no friends or relatives in this section
OF the state or country.
Miller has a wife and one child al
Buffalo and it is alleged that he left
his home there on account of trouble
with his wife who he declared was
showing too much attention to a lunch
back laborer.
