West Frankfort 111., Aug. 9.--Militiamen continued to patroff the streets of West Frankfort but there were no indications of a recurrence of Thursday night's rioting. City and county officials agreed that the trouble apparently had passed over. Brig. Gen. Frank P. Wells and Col. Frank Taylor of the Illinois national guard, who have taken charge of the situation, said they did not know Just when the troops would be recalled. Efforts of national guard officers to learn the Identity of five persona reported to have been killed in the rioting was unavailing. This led the officers to express the belief that none was killed. , About forty men, mostly Italians, were beaten by the rioters. Mayor Lon Fox and Sheriff Robert H. Watkins likewise said they did not believe any deaths resulted from the Thursday night's lawlessness. Tbe property damage caused by the outbreak will not exceed $75,000, thfey asserted.

The rioters directed their attack against the Italian settlement There are a number of Polish, Lithuanian and Serbian residents, but they were not molested. All was quiet today In the Italian section, where the attacks of the rioters centered.

A few sporadic outbreaks occurred when Italians were seen on the streets, but militiamen rescued the foreigners before they had been injured seriously. A barber whose place of business was wrecked in the rioting, has not been seen since Thursday. WAR MARRIAGES FAILURE? indications Are That Many Bridea Are Tiring of Their Hero Husbands. Boston, Aug. 10.--Are war bridea tiring of hero husbands? This Is the question the sociologists are asking while keeping an eye on the divorce court dockets, where startling figures are arousing attention. Whether it is war brides or hero husbands, there is one ray of light and hope. Although the divorce figures are swelled to balloon Blze, the marriage licenses have likewise registered at high and are keeping fair pace. * By far the greater number of divorces are granted to women, and far the greater number of these are for desertion. So It would seem that If the war has entered Into the scheme of marriage and divorce the hero of the war is not doing his share of matrimonial duty.
