Bulletin Service Renewed.

Many people have not realized the
comfort there is in getting the daily
bulletin service which Operator Grant
Clark puts out. But when through
lack of funds the service stopped this
week all quickly awoke to what they
were missing and the necessary fund
was speedily raised for the continu-
ance of the service. Not only the news
but the mistakes in French names are
interesting. When the bulletin an
nounced Tuesday tNat our boys had
captured Jawbone everybody wonder
ed when they could possibly have lost
a place that just naturally must be-
long to the Yankees. Anyway the
afternoon bulletin gives us news from
the front that we cannot get in any
other way until the next morning.

With the Americans on the
Marine, June 26-(10:35 NO.
The Americans took the remainder
of Belleau wood last night. The
German losses in killed and wound
ded were extremely heavy. They
also lost at least 221 prisoners,
including a captain and six other
officers. The Americans captured
many machine guns. In this ac-
ton the Americans further fat
tened the apex of the German
drive toward Paris. They now
completely hold the wood, the
northern end of which has been
in dispute since the Americans
first halted the German rush three
weeks ago. At daybreak this
morning Private Frank P. Lennart
of Chicago marched into head
quarters here in charge of seventy
eight German privates and five Of
fcers, all Of whom surrendered to
him voluntarily after they had
first taken him prisoner.

Traffic is to be resumed on the lines
of the Kenosha Electric Railway and
at once. This was the comforting
news given out by Secretary Harold
L. Geisse of the Wisconsin Railroad
Commission, this morning and the order
for resumption Of the service is now
on the way from -1adison to Kenosha
It is expected that copies of the formal
order will reach Kenosha not later than
Thursday morning. Whether cars will
be running on Thursday will depend
entirely on the manner in which. the
order is received by the officials
of the company.
George Fl. Cook, manager of the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company for
Kenosha, declared that he could say
nothing as to the attitude of the com
pany toward such an order. He said
that he had not received the order.
The message from Madison in addi-
ton to ordering an immediate resump-
tion of traffic on the part of the COM
pany, provides for the re-routing Of the
iitneys of Kenosha in such manner
as to remove the great complaint
that their competition had made it
impossible for the railway company
to continue in business.
The order covers many pages of
typewriter matter and goes into the
complaints of the city in regard to the
service as well as into other complaints
made by the Chamber of Commerce
and private individuals. The order
also takes up at length the petition Of
the company for a survey of conditions
in Kenosha and the objections of the
jitney men to the proposed re-routing
of the jitneys in the city.
Railway men when informed today
that the commission was issuing an
order demanding the resumption Of
traffic in the city, expressed the belief
that there would be SONS trouble IN

Washington, June 26. - A large
number Of German reservists from
France are pouring into the noun
tain regions of Italy now held by
the Austrians, but which are be-
ing routed by the italian forces.
The official communique says: GA
number of counter attacks by the
enemy against Italy's onslaught
have been repulsed. The italian
forces have extended their gains
at Capo Sile and repulsed several
counter attacks on the part 70 the
Austrians. We took $40 prisoners.
We are clearing up the battlefield
and have completely recuperated
all our artillery, arms and mater
ial and with them have taken
vast amount of enemy arms and
ammunition.

getting men or women to take charge
of the operation of the cars. Tt was
declared that the men and women who
had formerly filed these positions
were now employed at other places and
that most of them were employed at
wages considerably higher than they
had been paid as railway operatives.
It may be very difficult to organize a
force Of even motormen within a few
hours. Tt is known that some Of the
older employees of the company have
not accepted other employment ard it
is possible that these men can be Sc
cured for emergency operation of the
cars or that men employed IN ether
cities by the holding company could
be brought in to Kenosha in order to
met the demand of the commission for
an immediate resumption of service.
Jitney men have suggested a posi-
BILE appeal from any order of the com
mission which might drive them from
the route covered by the street rail
way company and this might open the
way for a test Of the whole power of
the state to regulate the jitney order.
The commission has declared that
the order being issued today is an
emergency order and that later on, af-
ter the full facts have been ascer-
tanned by the examination of the sur
vey made by the commission engineers,
that a further order will be issued
which will fix rates of fare and settle
all other difficult problems which have
come up in connection with the rail
way question. 1t is not improbah'o
that some of the burdens placed
on the company by franchise ordinance
will be lifted.

that if all the plans of the depart

there would still be two thousand

With the Italian Armies in the
Field, June % - Night - With
the Italians re-established on
their original line, it is now ques-
tion whether they will be able to
continue their offensive pressure
or will be compelled to return to
the defensive. Despite the success
of the limited counter offensive
begun by the Italians on the noun
tain front, it is known that the
Austrians have concentrated their
remaining reserves there, and the
Italians may soon be forced to
change their tactics in that region.
The Austrian losses are now esti-
mated at 100000. Of these, it is
reported that fully 10000 were
drowned in the retreat across the
upper Piave. The Thirty-frst and
Thirty-second Austrian Rifle regi-,
ments covered the enemy retreat
until only eight men. remained I'M
wounded. Then they surrendered.
Gen. Won Cronstadt, their CONS
mander, shot himself. The Ital-
ian booty includes several enemy
batteries, hundreds of machine
guns and thousands of prisoners.
The body of Maj. Baracca the
famous Italian aviator, was found
at the foot of Monticello crest be-
side his burned machine. He had
committed suicide to avoid cap
trlre.

Intolerance, which David ". Gdf- dSh prcScnted at the Dav1S theatre Monday and Tuesday, is another re- .narkahIe motion picture on the same magnificent scale, pictnra11y, as the procucer's successful film, The Birth Of a Nation, and on higher plane In its purpose It attempts to show the intolerance of the strung toward the weak through four por!uds-the time Of the fall of Babylon. tho crrlcitixion, s. Bartholcmews massacre iD Franco end today Its four stories are ;olG in parallel form, so that the spectator has the feeling of reading four con timed stories in the same magazine
 Without following the unusual form of the picture, the four stories may be described separately as follows; The three historical stories are exam pies of religious and political intoler- ance: the modern of social lntoler- ance. The fall of Babylon the screen shows. was brought about by the high priest of Bel, who opened the gates to Cyrus, the Persian, in order to suppress the worship of other gods.
 Tho modern story is in effect an attack on organized charity, which it compares with the hypocrisy of the Ph:Lrtsees and the intolerants of other ages. But although intolerance had conquered in the three historical stories the modern tale sees the forces of good triumphant, which no doubt is the reason the subtitle of the film is A Sun Play of the Ages.
 It is in his battle scenes that MT. Griffith is still most effective as a producer The siege and the fall of Babylon. with the moving towers, the catapaults and other instruments of ancient warfare. wrought up the spec tators to a high pitch of enthusiasm.
