Big Musical Play Coimng.

The question arises. why IS the sue
cess OF Billy S. Clifford in the clever
musical satire Believe Me-" Several
good reasons might be given, in fact
myriad numbers of them, but the con
sideration Of a few OF the most essen
tial will do here. First Care has
been exercised to get a bill that will
make an instantaneous. impression
upon the people before whom it is
presented. There is nothing at all i'm
ne bill OF "Bclicyc Me" lacking to
make it complete in every detail The
story is pretty, carefully worked out,
the climaXes are right to the point
and cleverly worked up to- The COM
cdy well defined and pure, the song
numbers are up to the minute Sec
ond-Choicc Of lead was carefully
considered and no better one could be
secured than Bill S. Clifford, WAC
handles the title role. Clever to the
extreme as a comedian. Third--In
selecting a supporting company to
most capable lead, only the very best
talent possible was to be secured and
one only needs to see the show to real
re that such is the case. Each mem-
ber back of Mr.. Clifford has been es-
pecially selected for some one peculiar
qualification necessary, when COM
bined with the balance Of the company
to make one complete whole strong
in the presentation Of the production.
Here are three good reasons why this
company is having such unprcccdcnt-
cd success in their latest creation.

Will Promptly Return
All American Cargoes
BE RETURNED TO IHE
OWNERS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-The Brit
ish government has taken steps to re-
turn promptly TO American shippers
Cargoes captured aboard German
steamers. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the
British ambassador, delivered to Sec
retary Bryan today the following
note expressing the attitude of his
government:
In order to prevent loss TO sub
jects of neutral powers, and to en-
courage continuance OF trade, his
majesty's government has taken steps
to set free eXpeditiously and without
reference to prize court as many car
goes as possible, even though in some
cases CarRoes may be liable in law to
condemnation as prize. An eXecu-
tive committee with fun powers to
deal with such cases has been ap-
pointed"
Cargoes referred TO were those
aboard German ships en- route when
was was declared. About $50 ships
have been captured. Some Cargoes
were diverted to Gibraltar, others to
points in Canada and the Bermudas,
and American shippers generally have
been anxious for prompt recovery
of their goods.
Secretary Bryan expressed satisfac-
tion over the arrangement by the
British government
