Dorothy Dalton in Love Letters
and a Pathe weekly review will be the
attraction at the Spencer Square the

which she is able through fine direc-
ton to take full advantage. Love
Letters" gets its title from packet of
amorous missives written by Miss
Dalton to the exponent of a sort OF
free love cult. He holds these letters
and threatens to show them to the
husband if the young wife does not
agree to a clandestine meeting at
which she is to receive the letters
back. Finally she agrees and during
a struggle in the mans apartments
she strikes him and knocks him un-
conscious with club. Later he is
the young wife does not know this
and makes a full confession to her
husband. The story is finally straight
ened out but not until the audience
has had some splendid examples OF
emotional acting, the like of which
Miss Dalton has not done since her
memorable work in "The Flame of the
Yukon" The settings, which are
chiefly interior and garden, are done
with careful eye to detail and are
undeniably attractive.

Ned Egan piloted the Rock Island
team during this city's brief stay in
the Central association in 1914. At
that time the Ottumwa club of the
Central association remained here only
two weeks, before being run out by
Tearney's agents, on the grounds that
the Three-Eye territory was being en-
croached upon. Egan is well and
favorably known in the tri-cities, and
his many baseball friends here see
nothing but success for him in his
new undertaking. Egan is one of the
best known minor league managers
in the national game and has made
an enviable record.

CALACIAN POLES JOIN
AGAINST GERMANS

ROME, June According to the
Munich press, Germans are beginning
to reap some bitter fruit of their
peace with the Ukraine The Poles
in Galacia are making life pretty un
comfortable for the Germans settled
there. as a sign of the adherence of
the peace with the Ukraine, and espe-
cially the loss of Chelm, given up to
the Ukrainians
In Galacia the German coIonists find
all classes of Poles leagued against
them. In the churches the Polish
priests preach against the Germans
and distribute tracts and songs. in
citing the population not to have any
thing to with the "barbarians" If a
German goes to a priest for help or
advice, he is told: Go for help to
Austria, or to Germany. This is Ca
lacia You have no business here"
At Biala, in a church which was
built and endowed by Germans, the
Munich papers say that a Polish priest
makes point of preaching against
Germany and the Germans, telling the
populations of village and towns not
to sell any food to German soldiers.
but to hide it,
/ These reports are not surprising
because the Poles for over a thou
sand years have always been fighting
against German influence, and felt the

RIFLE AND BAYONET
RETURN To FAVOR
OTHER WEAPONS OF THE SER
VICE, CANADIANS REPORT, HAVE
THEIR USES, BUT INFANTRY
WILL WIN THE WAR.

TORONTO, Canada, June o.
Canadian soldiers returning from the
front report that the old-fashioned
rifle and bayonet is coming into favor
again as the weapon which must In
the last analysis win the war. From
time to time other weapons and other
arms of the service have been pro-
claimed as the thing that would bring
victory
When the armies settled down into
trenches it was said that heavy artll'
lery and high explosives were the
prescription that would break the OPP
posing front and win the war. Then
| bombs and hand grenades came to
the fore and the theory was PROFOUND
ed that with enough of them the en-
envy could be eventually mopped up
Then a school developed that believed
that aircraft used like raiding cavalry
could be used to cut the foes lines
of communication and force his sur
render
In turn, each of these panaceas has
been found to have its limitations, and
soldiers of all branches are returning
| to the conviction that war can only
be won by the trusty infantryman with
his rifle and bayonet The big guns,
the grenades, the aircraft all have and
will have functions of the utmost i'm
portance to perform, but with the
infantry will have to be there with
the punch to get a result that is de-
cisive either on the defense or the Of
tense.
Sir Sam Hughes, former Minister of
Militia. is stanch friend of the rife.
81 am sorry to say he said in a state
ment the other day, that rife shoot
ing seems to have fallen back and that
bombs, hand grenades and all those
side shows have taken their place,
with results that are not altogether
satisfactory, as was shown by the loss
at st. Quentin"
In contrast with the debacle he
compared the first battle of Ypres
when Gen Rawlinson with only one
man to a yard and half held back
and defeated Germans numbering
twenty-five to a yard, and the second
battle of Ypres when a Canadian di-
vision with only one man to every
two yards held back fifteen Germans
70 the yard.
Sir Sam also announced some fig
ures showing the cruel losses that
Canadians suffered during the fight
ing of 1917 He said he knew of one
Canadian battalion that lost 1000
men in three months after Lens, that
is almost as many men as the total
American losses in their first year of
war The 50th Battalion of Cvalry
in year lost 5000 men and 11S off,
GERS. AS battalion at full strength
numbers only 1000 men, this means
that the so Battalion was refilled com
pletely eight times in year. We're
it not for facts like these, he said,
Canada would now be represented at
the front by two army corps of three
divisions each.

Deems as follows:

is desirable that you announce this

sugar used. sugar on hand and their
requirements. and showing their
present situation, that we may know
they are conforming to our rules.
..If their sugar on hand, plus the
amount used by them to date is more
than eighty per cent of the amount
used by them from January to July,
1917. such excess must be turned
over to the food administrator for
his disposition.
please make it known that unless
these reports are filed with you by

the balance of 1918 to the manufact-

From his own observations while

The Germans took ten days supplies

from the Edna to the submersible.
The Americans carried their phono-
graphs with them and traded records
with the Germans who were willing
to play anything except "My Country

OFFICERS Of the submarine wore
regulation navy uniforms, but the
crew wore leather jumpers. They
carried souvenirs from the ships
sunk, among them being the United

German commander hauled down.

entering the present battle to wrest
back from the Huns one OF their own

The new battle of the Marine may
thus well be considered as the forerun-
ner of Americas own offensive which
is destined to carry the war ultimately
into German territory.
What the Americans now learn OF
German fighting methods along the
