A court-martial at Breslau has sentenc-

SHAKESPEARE IN ORIGINAL.
Germans Are Endeavoring to Wipe
Out Old Style.

Berlin, May 23.-The New Shakespeare
Theatre has been Incorporated for the
purpose OF producing Shakespeare AS
he is writ" not as the old-time German
romancers, Schlegel and Tieck, mistrans-
lated him. DR.. Turck. a well known
writer on English literature. is at the
head of the undertaking. which will be
in direct opposition 10 the Kaisers play
house, representing the conventional
translations.
The managers promise TO eXpend much
money for decorations in an effort TO
draw the Kaiser over to their side and
thus bring about a change in Shakes
peare representations in Germany.
As William is a perfect master of the
English tongue, it is hoped that he will
see the nonsense of the old-time Shakes
peare translations and adopt the new
ones
The New Shakespeare Theatre Will
open with Trucks version Of Hamlet"
which comes very near being a literal
translation.

Later he went to Rome studied theol-

He never accepted an ecclesiastical dig

prompted him TO exchange a life Of lux

one Of abject poverty has never been
known.

Edward.

London, May 23.-king Edward 5 jour
ney on the royal yacht in the Mediter-
ranean impressed him with the superior
ity OF white paint over black for the Vic

This, with gliding, should be very effec-
tive

the King will take another cruise shortly

CARMEN DIsPLEAsEs THEM.
Anti-Semitic Element in Roumania Are
Against Production.

Vienna, May z3.-Upholders of the anti
Semitic policy are greatly displeased with
the latest literary production Of Carmen
Sylvia, ex-Queen OF ROumania. The work
is a drama wildly portraying the sor-
rows of a Jewess deserted by her own
people and prosecuted by ali the world.
The subject and its treatment are re
garded as condemnation of the violently
anti-Jewish policy pursued by the Rou-
manian government. II is unlikely that
this play would ever come to the foot
lights in Europe. but Her Majesty has
already been approached by the repre-
sentative of one Of the foremost Ameri-
can producing managers with a view Of
securing it for presentation in New York.
The play is tremendously dramatic and
would command attention aside from the
interest sure TO attach TO any production
of the royal authoress

He summarizes his arguments thus:
Vegetarians tend to lower the birth

They do not survive the fourth genera
alton.
They become bald early in life.
They suffer from defective eyesight.
They are deficient in physical courage.
Miss Florence Nicholson. secretary of
the Vegetarian Society, says that the doc
