We have arranged for the publi-

story of love and adventure, "The
White Company" by Sir A. Conan
Doyle, author of Micah Clarke, The
Study in Scarlet, Sign of the Four, and
the Shorter Sherlock Holmes Detective
Stories.
'@The White Company, to write
which Mr.. Doyle read 1913 contem-
porary books, is a tale of the battles
OF England's Knight Errants, her re-
doubtable men-at-arms and her Won
drouS long-bowmen, during the period
when all France was harried by the
famous Black Prince. In those times,
When gunpowder was just coming to
be used in a crude form, the English
long-boWman could send his gray
goose shaft, with deadly effect, a dis
tame of 420 yards, or practically a
quarter of mile. The bows were
made of yew, tough and springy, and
the arrows were of ash, long, and
feathered and straight.
80 we toast all together
To the gray goose feather
And the land where the gray goose
flew"
The White Company is the sequel to
Mr.. Doyle's great story, Sir Nigel, for
which he received Twenty-Five Thou
sand Dollars.
In presenting the revised "White
Company" we are Offering our many
readers one of the most stirring and

Margaret Anglin, who refused to pro-
ceed with the third act of William
Vaughn Moody's play until he signed
a document giving her the exclusive
American, English and Australian
rights to it, was born in the Canadian
House of Parliament twenty-five years
ago. That her birthplace was un-
usual resulted from the fact that her
father, Timothy Anglin, was Speaker
of the Canadian House and her mother
was there during a session.
Miss Anglin has been on the stage
ten years, her first important engage
ment being with James O'Neill, with
whom she played Mercedes in Monte
Cristo." In Mansfield's production of
the famous "Cyrano de Bergerac" she
had the part of RoXanne, and later
was star in the Empire Theatre Stock
Company of New York. For two years
she has been at the head of her own
company, and has achieved marked
success in "Zira."

ably be refused landing as may be

The greatest interest Is being taken
in the possible extent of damage to ISL

says that it is understood that the ship
ping has suffered, but no details could
be learned, The SOnoma and Mongolia
were both in port at the time of the
disaster. The Sonoma was scheduled
to get away yesterday, The Mongolia
was not scheduled to depart until April
20, so she probably had little cargo and
coal loaded for her outward trip.

among the first arrivals could get any
where near the office The news was
read to che waiting people by Charlie
ChillingswOrth through a megaphone.
