Three are several reasons for this phenomenal success but chiefly the fact of her own personal charm and previous experience. There are certain "Doro Imannerisms" which, try as they may. no other actress has ever been able to duplicate, and which have so endeared Miss Doro to the hearts of her audiences since her first picture. Miss iDoro is at her brilliant best in this Quaintest of photoplays, Hearts Desire." Don't miss it!

the Italian cavalry in the recent re-
treat has given out a written review
of the deeds performed by his men.
Many instances Of individual daring
are recorded
A corporal Of Florence Iancers was
ordered to explore a zone near Civil
dale. Going forward he saw a large
party Of italians held prisoner by the
enemy. He returned and gathered a
force Of cavalry which released the
imprisoned party and brought them
back. In another case. piedmontese
cavalry, after being SUR ounded. broke
through the enemy lines, but the col
ouel commanding failed to escape. He
was the only man left inside the en-
envy circle and ne was seen 90 take his
stand against a wall, probably pre-

The fate OF the Casserta cavalry

recOunted, making this recital one OF

it was more OF the same thing and

Many Germans battled with bayonets
to the death and 400 enemy bodies

the Irish stormed the defences with
bombs and forced their way half
through the village. Here they came
up against a heavy barricade which
they took with the bayOnet and for a
time drove the Germans out OF the
village. In the afternoon the Germans
approached from the east side Of the
canal for counter attack but this
was smashed by machine gun and
rifle fire. Later in the afternoon the
German artillery opened Up and
heavily shelled the trenches held by
the British south Of Mouevres.

Proceeding northward the British
drove the enemy from the trenches

trench was so remarkably well
camouflaged that no sign OF Il was
visible until the British saw German
faces apparently coming out Of the
ground. A hand to hand battle began.

The feature of duh session in
Judge Harry Irwin's court yesterday
morning was the reopening of the case
of Zeno Lockett, negro soldier who
had been sentenced on Tuesday to pay
a fine Of 400 on a charge of needless
driving. 49,. H.
Lockett was riding a motorcycle in
the Kalihi district, with a native girl
named Dinah Keku on the rear seat.
While on the wrong side of the road
he ran into Ford car, with the result
that both machines were damaged and
Lockett and the girl had to be sent to
the emergency hospital for repairs.
Judge Irwin stated that while he was
of the. opinion that the original sen.

TYPHOID CASES
NUMBER SIXTY
Number Are III In Officers Fam
~ lilies At Post >:

Sixty cases of typhoid have been re.
ported at Sehofeld, all in the lower
post. A number of the members of
officers families and several men who
have had typhoid NEGOTIATIONS are
down with the disease. -.
The cause seems to lie in the water
supply, as only those who have water
from certain source have been af-
fected. The water supply of the lower
post comes from the Wahiawa dam.
Owing to the dry season the water has
been so low that they have been using
water from the stream far up in the
Koolau range. 1t is only those who
have been using this water who have
taken the sickness.
The upper post gets water from the
Waianae mountains, and not a single
case of typhoid has been reported from
any of the upper Environments.
Two cases were sent in from the
post to the department hospital at
Fort Shafter on Tuesday. The out
break is assuming serious enough pro-
portions TO cause grave uneasiness
among the residents at Cashier. In a
large number of cases it has been the
children who have been stricken. The
three children of DR.. Walter r. Pick
have all contracted the disease, AMI

families in which one or more members
