At the Coliseum

Last night. the Southern Rose Buds presented one of the funniest shows they have put on during their stay here. It is called the Circus Queen and it consists of just one laugh after another.
 Lee Harrison and Jess Button as Bud and Henry were unusually funny in their elaborate coon parts. The songs were even better than usual. Swor and Green in the song, Styles and Smyles" were the hit of the bill. Nal Wheeler as the Rube was an other star.

700 persons escaped when the Lusi-

as TO how the Lusitania came TO be
caught and why so many lives were
lost, will remain a secret The gen
eral unofficial opinion IS that several
German submarines were assigned TO
the task Of attacking the Cunard liner
and that they maneuvered her into a
position where she could not escape.
Passengers say that for some time
before the first torpedo was fred the
Lusitania had altered her course, and
they ascribe this to the fact that one
of the German submarines had shown
herself, sending the big liner In the

craft were waiting to strike with their

ternoon will be left open for demon
STATIONS n visits to various places
of interest at the college and in the
