SUDDEN DEATH OF CARL wALz

Like flash of lightning from clear
sky came the news from the Glenwood
sanitarium last Sunday evening that
Carl Walz, second son of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. B. Wall, had passed away-almost
before anyone in Glenwood had heard
that he was ill.
The young man had been complaining
slightly for about week, or rather the
folks at home had noticed that he was
ailing, for he did not really complain,
and on Saturday morning he left the
house over the protest Of his father,
and started to town to take up his daily
work with The Glenwood Ice and Stor-
ago company, but he was soon obliged
- rsturn and admit that he was not
able to work.

CLEVER WORK OF

One of the most enjoyable entertain

a day was the program rendered last
night at the Auditorium by the com.
pany of clever colored entertainers
known as the Invincible Concert com,
Pany of Chicago. Five highly talented
people made up the personnel of the
company.
There was good sized audience and
rarely ever has more enthusiasm been
manifested over musical program
These colored people are certainly re,
markable entertainers Their handling
of various kinds of musical numbers
their vocal work, their clever sketches
and the remarkable work of Cooper, the
ventriloquist, make up an evening OF
real enjoyment. The program is varied
refreshing and clean and leaves 6
wholesome taste with everyone.

The great offensive of the Italians
along the Isonzo front continues to
gain impetus and apparently the Aus
trians nowhere have been able to stem
the tide that is bringing General Cad
orna's men gradually closer toward
their objective.
Meanwhile the German operations
east of Riga seemingly are developing
in strength, as the Russians have given
further ground to the enemy. Around
Verdun the French army is holding its
gains of the early week unhampered
by the German infantry, but with the
guns of the Crown Prince rakng the
line at various points.
At Lens the Canadians have worked
their way further. into the environs of
the coal city and in Belgium, near
Ypress Field Marshal; .Haig' imen have
been victorious in two days. battle,
making gains varying in depth from
half a mile to few hundred yards.
On both the northern and southern
ends of the battle line in the Austro.
Italian theater the Italians have
pressed forward their line for consid-
cradle new gains against the Austrians.
The counter attacks of the Austrians
are Of the most extreme violence, but
nowhere have they been able to dis
lodge the Italians. An instance of this
is the holding for three days under
most vicious counter strokes of a strong
| Austrian position captured southeast OF
Dosso Faiti. More than 1866 prisoners
already have been taken by Italians.
Although the exact extent of the
Italians advance has not yet become
apparent and the objective aimed at is
not definitely known, General Cadrona
over the entire 81 miles of the fighting
front has everywhere made progress
and the Austrians are reported unos-
ficially to be stripping Triest of It's
1aluables and moving them to Vienna
and other places.
The chief British military observer,
Major General Maurice, says the Ital-
ians already have gained an important
victory which gives promise of devel-
oping presently into a victory of the
first magnitude. ..-..
aEst of Riga the Russians have fallen
back before the enemy ,all along the
line from Raggedzem, on the gulf of
Riga, through Tukkum and Kammae-n
to the upper reaches of the river Aa.
Fighting is going on along twenty.
mile front east of Riga in the Lake
Babit sector. The German official COM
munication in announcing German gains
in this region, says the Russians cvacu-
ated positions without offering battle,
previously having destroyed villages
behind them.

Roosevelt Would Not Retard Draft
Measure Now Before Congress.

Washington, May II. - Senator
Harding and Representative Gardner,
leading advocates in the Senate and
House of Colonel Roosevelt's plan TO
raise a volunteer division, received a
telegram from the Colonel last night,
saying he hoped none Of his friends
in Congress would carry their fight
for authorization of the plan to the
point of seriously delaying enact
ment of the army draft bill.
The authorization is omitted. from
the bill as agreed on in conference,
and there will be an effort to put 1t
in as amendment when the confer
ence report is called up. Both Sena-
tor Harding and Representative Gard
ner said last night, however, that they
had no idea of attempting to block
approval of the conference measure.
