blow by the arrival of General
Pershing and his staff in Kurope.

important press association taboo,
country and was not officii taooo.
Most of the dailies in the country

able voluntary censorship that it
shows any legal censorship is hard
ly needed. Certainly no severe law
is required.

ers in the French front were fol
lowed by gains.

BERLIN', June S.—English at
tacks along the front in Belgium
and northeast France, alter several
days of destructive lire were re
pulsed, says the Official statement
this morning.
The British are making lavish
use of high explosives and have be
gun to use a new explosive which
gives off a peculiarly offensive odor
and fumes that are very noxious.
AMSTERDAM, June 8.—The
fighting upon the western front
now in southwest Belgium is terri-'
fir. say arrivals who escaped from
Belgium. The destruction of the
British artillery using high explo
sives is simply awful, while they are
mining tremendous areas as they
advance.
The Belgians complain that if the
entire advance is conducted in this!
manner Belgium will be a total
waste. Everything is levelled in the 1
terrific fire which sweeps away
woods, villages and all kinds ot
buildings as the Allies move §lowly
ahead.
KEELING PREVAILS.
TOKIO, June S.—A dispatch
from Japanese legation at Peking
says that there yet prevails a feeling
in the Chinese Capital that the Chin
ese republic may yet be main
tained.
An astonishing development is
that the conference over the form
of government shows tha' many ot
the greatest of the arniv oflirers
who backed the revolt refuse point
blank to support a monarchy.
This gives rise ot the belief that
the republic may still be kept in
China.

Sunday night at the Eagle Hail a
three reel morality drama features
Pauline Bush in a beautifu story
that gives this elegant screen actress
an opportunity to display to ad
vantage her many gifts. The story
depicts the influence of a woman’s
glorious soul and through the migh
ty power of love and hope how even
vicious characters are reclaimed
and turned into the paths that lead
j to the sublime. This great play is
I followed by two comedies: Rain

As usual Miss Bertha Johnson and

SPRINGFIELD, Mo„ Juno 8 —
The probable collapse of the polite
theory with reference to the kid
napping of the Kects boy is seen in
the release of the persons involved
in arrests by the police. Ten w ho
were held in connection with the
kidnapping w'tre given their release
today.
The boy is still unfound. There
is no word given out today at all
which would indicate that even the
slightest clue is known which
would throw any light upon the
mysterious and extremely cruet
kidnapping.
