AMATEUR WORK 4VORS
THAT OF PROFESSIONALS
M. T. H. S. January 'o4 Class Pro
ducing Two Playlets Before
Good Houses.

A dramatic entertainment of more than
usual merit, given by the 'O4 January class
of the Manual Training High School, drew
a good crowd to the auditorium of that
school last evening. Two one-act plays,
with members of the class in the cast, 1.-The
Mouse Trap" a farce by William Dean
Howells, and "A Proposal Under Difficult
ties" the amusing little comedy by John
Kendrick Bangs, were presented with a de-
gree of ability that would have lone credit
TO older dramatists of much more expert
ence than the young students that appeared
in them. The hohors of the evening were
probably carried off by l.. Griffith Dickey,
as Bob Yardsley, in the second of the play
let's presented. His work would have done
credit, at times, to a professional actor of
much pretensions. Theodore Stempfel, In
the part of the sarcastic villain and
Efie Taylor, the cause Of the trouble, en-
tered fully into the spirit of the play.
Berg King and Marie B~inninger were
good. the screams of the latter at the sight
of a mouse being especially natural.
The proceeds of the entertainment, which
amounted TO about 500. will be used to pur-
chase some appropriate present as a re-
membrance of the class. Following was the
cast of characters:

two years OF medical study. at the end OF
four years giving such students an A. b.
degree and certificates admitting them to
the best medical schools OF the country suf-
nciently advanced To complete the course i'm

them thought well Of 10. IL Is now a ques-
ton IN whose possession the power lies

Toxic, Feb. 2o--On account of Ad-
miral Tokio's success at Port Arthur
the reopening OF the sea to Japanese
merchantmen and the revival of ship
ping, the Japanese government does. not
anticipate that it will have further need
for the auxiliary cruisers America Maru
and Yawata Maru, and they will be dis.
armed and returned to their owners.
Nothing now prevents the America
Maru from resuming her place on the
San Francisco line and the Yawata
Mart on the Australian.
In preparing for the war, Japan armed
a big fleet of fast auxiliary cruisers on
account of the equality of naval strength
between the Russians and Japanese, But
1t is believed that the auxiliary cruisers
are no longer needed. 1t is expected
other auxiliary vessels will be disarmed
and released. -.7 Il
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha Company
are chartering a fleet of British vessels
for re-establishi1lg the Chinese coast
lines. Lack Of details of formations, fiss
ing ranges and evolutions preventSa full
understanding and appreciation of Adj
miral Togo's tactics. He seems to be
|endeayoring to accomplish the maxi
Mum destruction with the minimum of
exposure. He is carefully balancing
those considerations and relying upon
superior mobility, craftsmanship and
ammunition At the outset the equality
of naval strength, the probable Necessity
of fighting the Russians under the bait
Eteries Of Port Arthur, made extreme
caution essential The loss of few
ships endangered the ultimate success Of
the japanese army. hence the brevity Of
