"THE WARRIOR"

The great screen spectacle THE
Warrior" with the wonderful Maciste,
star of Gabrielle D'Annunzio's "Cabir-
ia" has garnered another record. The
picture already has been acclaimed as
the most remarkable punch" produc-
tion ever made, with IA record number
Of genuine Embarrassing" thrills thru
out the course of its seven absorbingly
interesting reels. Manager Hurley,
who will present THE Warrior" to his
patrons at the H-H Theatre on July 4,
feels highly elated at the fact that the
feature Offering has passed the care
full scrutiny of the National Board of
Review without the necessity of n sim
gle elimination. This circumstance Is
most rare in the censoring of feature
productions as there is generally one
scene to incur the displeasure of the
reviewing committee.
The strong strain of delightful COM
edy which the film contains is partic.
ularly attractive to the female sex
while the virile manhood Of Maciste in
his daring adventures in the Alps will
reach the hearts Of the opposite sex.

ITALIAN ARMY CLEANS
Up MASSES OF DEAD
MUCH WAR MATVR|AL

Rome, Italy, June 2G.-ltalian troops
on the southern part of the Paye have
not only completely reoccuped the
Capo Sile bridgehead, but have ex-
tended it and held the gain against
counter attacks. The extension was
effected yesterday. During the fight
ing nearly 400 prisoners were taken.
The war Office made this announcement
today.
The duke of Aosta's third army con-
tinues to advance along the Piave, in
the Capo Sile region cleaning the po-
sitions abandoned by the Austrians
picking up the abandoned war mater
ial, burying the masses of dead and
reorganizing the entire defence sys-
tenn which had been badly cut up dur
ing the last ten days
Under the fire of Italian machine
guns and artillery which were brought
up rapidly Monday, the Austrian with
drawal across the Piayc soon became
a disorderly rout. 1t is estimated the
Austrian losses total more than 200,-
900.
1t was a terrible sight as the mad
dened Austrians fled under the deluge
of Italian bullets and shells. They
leaped into the river and grabbed
pieces of wood or anything that wotId
aid them; they tied themselves to the
mules and horses but their efforts were
in vain, for, as the enemy troops reach
ed the opposite bank, they were again
caught by the fire Of the Italian guns
which had been trained accurately on
the eastern bank for some days.
In fleeing, the Austrlans left be-
hind them much war material. The
enemy troops even threw away their
rifles and deserted hundreds of MAJ
chine guns which were to have been
used to protect the retiremrnts.
1t is estimated that the number of
Austrians on the Western bank of the
Piave when the retreat began. was
more than 100000.
Among lG prisoners taken on Mon
tello, it was obserl eG that they be-
| longed to no less than seven different
regiments.
From the first day Of the offensive.
| Italian morale was of the highest
among both the troops and the Italian
civilian population. Venice appeared
to be little concerned over the TACT
that tho enemy was striking in her
direction only 20 mile away How
ever Venice awoke to celebrate the
Italian victory
The Austrian reverse in Italy is uc-
coming known within he German lines
and is causing depression, according to

CELEBRATE FOURTH OF JULY

Never have the American people had
better reason for celebrating the 4th
of July patriotically and enthusiastic
ally than on the approaching holiday.
Heretofore we have celebrated annu-
ally the independence anniversary of
the United States. Now that our coun-
try is fighting for the universal free
dom from imperial domination, Amer
leans can celebrate the dGwning of Il
world independence. II is the otj ject
of the war, the larger ideal of Amer
lean citizenship. To its cause the man
hood and the treasure of the allied
nations are committed.
The sane Fourth" movement, under
way for some years, but not always
observed, ut least not very strictly,
ought to be emphas lied this year. The
boys and men like tor celebrate July 1
with explosions of giant crackers and
torpedoes and the various other noise
makers, and at night everyone likes
to see the pyrotechnic displays, The
Americans usually waste millions of
dollars in that sort of demonstration.
The sane Fourth" idea was started
because of the many casualties attend
ing each years celebrations. 1t should
be observed now both to prevent in
juries to the celebrators and to save
money which can be used to help carry
on the war.
Money spent for Il flash of powder
and loud noise in IA Fourth of July
celebration is needed to explode pow
der behind bullet in IA gun aimed at
German. Money spent for sky
rocket to entertain Fourth of July
crowds is needed for Every Light
flare to illuminate no mans land OF
for rocket to call for an artillery
barrage.
Celebrate the Fourth of July by all
means, but do it with band concerts
and parades, patriotic exercises, ath'
letic exhibitions, drills, display of tn,
flags and with songs and cheering
Then buy war savings stamps with the
money.
