ITALIAN WAR PICTURES.

That his royal hlghness, Emmanuel
Philibert, Duke OF AOsts is the idol OF
the Italian hearts, Is attested by the
reception accorded him by his coun-
trymen at every showing Of the famous
Italian war pictures, The Italian Bat
tlefront" They viii be shown at the
Playhouse the week OF June 3.
This popularity Is due, not only 20
the magnificent accomplishments Of the
duke, as commander OF the third dlvi-
sion Of the Italian Army. which has
been responsible for many Of the sen
sstional successes Of the Italians. but
Is In part heritage OF the esteem in
which his father was held by the Ital-
ians and OF his inheritance OF those
qualities which prompted that esteem.
As soon as the war was declared by
Italy upon Austria, the Duke OF Aosta
was sent to the Isonzo front with his
army corps and took a position In the
sector facing Gradisca and Gorizia. He
was instrumental in the taking OF the
former place and then gave all his ef-
forts TO prepare the assault and cap
ture Of Gorilla. the great Austrian fort
ress reputed impregnable, the only
great fortress ever taken from the
Teutons and kept by any OF the Allies
lie carried all the tremendously fortl-
Ned mountains surrounding and defend
Ing Gorilla. one by one. and at last
on August 6, 1916, he began the action
which illuminated in the taking OF
Gorilla.

Announcement OF The express merger
followed a series OF negotiations eX-
tending over the last two months In
an effort TO bring the express business
on a more efficient and economical
basis, and enable II TO meet the COM
petition which Il has been brought |
against through the operation OF the

The most radical changes affected
by the director generals order were
the reduction In capital. which amounts
to s27,000,O0O less than the combined
previous capital Of the four companies,
and that the operating revenue former
y paid 10 the individual railroads. will
be paid directly TO the railroad adj
The Federal Express Company will

The Government will not guarantee

by many in the gallery to come through
with colors flying, but those who held
this opinion had failed to take into con-
sideration the crafty. careful playing of
| the man from the land Of the Mikado
Kashio bided his time and allowed hs
tall opponent to rush the net and smash
with all his strength, while he himself
was content to place his shots softly
but with infinite skill. either directly to
the lines or so close to them that Ander-
son found 1t increasingly difficult to get
his racquet sQuarely on the ball.
