NORTH CAROLINA
IS AVIATION SHIP
U. S. Cruiser Returned from
10 Months of Duty in
European Waters.

Boston, Mass, June 1s.-The Z. S.
cruiser North Carolina, home after ten
months Of varied foreign duty in En-
ropean waters, left today for Ports
mouth, n. H, where she will enter duty
as the aviation ship Of the American
navy for the training Of navy airmen.
The officers and men OF the North
Carolina brought home tales of terrific
fighting at the Dardanelles They said
the British and French forces had sus-
tanned heavy losses. and that the hos
pitfalls at Alexandria, Egypt, were
crowded with wounded. They said
some Of the wounded told them the
Australian troops suffered especially
under the Turkish fire.
Many Officers Killed.
The Australians first attempt was
made from the southern side at dawn,
when the men in small boats, met a
terrific fire from the Turkish batteries
and trenches close to the shore. One
third Of the boats were sunk and scores
were drowned, among them most Of the
officers, it was said.
Pressing forward dauntlessly, the
survivors landed, but were demoralized
by the loss Of their officers. Although
they completed the first line OF trenches
and rushed blindly on TO other lines,
they met disaster.
The Turks, under comand OF German
officers, make good soldiers, in the
opinion Of Australians who said they
had demonstrated their ability to stand
up under terrific machine gun fire.
weakening only at the point Of steel
The North Carolina went to Europe
carrying gold to the Americans strand
ed there by the war and remained to
do other service. Hundreds OF stary-
ing persons, were found at Beirut and
taken by the cruiser to Hayre.

 The first scene in The Dream Girl fc the opera house in Baskerville, la. and shows genuine show rehearsal filled with comical situations. In this scene the audience is given loads of fun, which starts them laughing and they continue the laughing process until the show is over
 The second scene where The Dream Girr' show really begins is the Pasha S domain at the edge of the Sahara desert, and the next scene is the cafe de luxe.
 There will be two distinct features in "The Dream Girl" One will be the in troduction of the songograph, written and originated by MT. Woolfolk and the other will be song by MT. voyer, Tn Bir- mingham' This song will be scream from the start to the finish

Fire Day October g


 The safety first slogan Is needed nowhere more than in the field of fire prevention. American cities take great pride in their fire departments and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars In keeping their fighting equipment and force at the highest state of eff cheney If part of this money and effort were devoted to fire preven- ton the results would be more re- warding.
 In the matter of fire loss the con trast between Germany, even under war conditions, and the United States Is remarkable. With few exceptions nre insurance companies in the Uni- ted states showed an underwriting loss TOT the yepr 1914 and this loss has been Kept up Tor the first six months of lsl5-A On the other hand. the statement Tor the year ending May p, 1915, of one Of the leading fire insurance com panies of Germany with home office at Alx-la -Chapelle. discloses a marked increase in total assets and net sur plus. while on its operations for the year a cash dividend of 66 2-s per cent was declared
 AS step in popularizing the fire prevention idea the fire insurance and nre prevention committees of the Safe- " First Federation of America have selected October as National Fire Frevention day. the purpose being to make It an annual custom. A campaign

FIELDS MINISTRIES
 AT THE JEFFERSON
Will Give Three Performances With a Matinee Tuesday--Number of
 Scenic Surprises

One of the most interesting and romantic cities of all America is New Orleans, which Al G. Field has chosen this year to make the opening scene of his Greater Minstrels to be seen at the Jefferson Monday and Tuesday, with a matinee Tuesday.
 The city was laid out in 171S by the French and named in honor of the Duke of Orleans. then regent of France. In i722 New Orleans became the capital of the French territory around, and was at that time a miserable place in a mash, with few small houses and ap- parently no future. In 1762 France ceded all of Louisiana to Spain, but the people of New Orleans, with that inde- pendence characteristic of all Ameri- can colonists, irrespective of nationali- ty, expelled the Spanish governor who came to rule over them.
 In 1900 Louisiana and New Orleans, It's chief city, came back to France and in 1903 the United States purchased the tract. from Franco. It was. predicted New Orleans would grow to be the largest city in this country. While 1t did not come up to expectations. it did grow steadily. It has figured pic, turesquely time and again in American history, and is one of the cities where
 
 side America.
 It is shown in the opening of the Field minstrels in the hey-dey of it's commercial greatness, when the Missis- sippi was the greatest road of freight traffic in the country, and when the whole business of commerce along the Father of Waters was one which seems to Americans like fascinating g page of some romance. The levee from which stevedores are seen carrying freight on the steamer Robert E. Lee was the scene of many exciting events, Including good share of the civil wars vicissitudes, while the Robert F. Lee herself was one of the most famous boats, a boat to be rated with the Claremont of Stevenson, the Half Moon of Hudson and the Lusitania and Ti- tanic of more recent fame. In the cabin of this floating palace that classic of minstrelsy-the First Part--is pre- sented. mimic race between the Rob ert F.. Lee and the Natehez is one of the scenic surprises. The levee scene, the river by night, with Algiers in the distance, forms a beautiful stage pie ture.

 CO0DOG M ATTRACTIONS

The Light That Failed" one of the plays Forbes-Robertson will act during the farewell tour of America which in c!udes this city, is a dramatization of
 Rudyard Kipling's novel of the same title.
 It was first acted in London in February. 1902. when 1t ran for the entire season, being produced in America the following fall. The drama follows the novel in all the essentials of character and plot de- velopment, except for the denouement which has been changed to meet the re- quirements of the stage. The story tells of Dick Heldar, war correspondent and artist who loves a girl called Maisie. Maisie aspires to become an artist and refuses Heldar's love as she fears it will interfere with her career. The play has to do with the struggle between Heldar's love and Maisie's ambition. In the course of the play Heldar goes blind as the result of wound he had received during shirmish in the Soudan. As Dick Heldar
 Forbes Robertson is seen in one of his strongest roles.
 So skeptical were theatrical managers concerning the reception which would be accorded the great sociological drama, Damaged Goods" that when Richard
 Bennett arranged for its production in New York three owners of the theatres refused to allow the play to be present. ed in their houses when they learned the nature of It's subject matter. They over looked the fact that the play was not vicious. but on the contrary taught tremendous moral lesson. William liar ris. owner of the Fulton theatre, finally ca me to MT.

is to be inaugurated for safety laws in all states and it is proposed to urge laws for the teaching of fire proven ton in all schools, public and private. Our schools are pretty well loaded with all sorts of subjects already, but fire prvention Is avital and practical matter Instruction along this line will take but little time and the schools offer the quickest route to a generation of men and women who appreciate the dangers of fire carelessness and who have been taught the easy methods of prevention.
 An interesting proposal of this com mittee is legislation making persons liable for loss to others resulting from fires caused by carelessness or crim- inal intent, with the additional provi- sion that municipalities may recover all expenses incurred In the extin- guishment of fires so caused This method of touching the sensitive pock ct nerve of one who is careless or crim- inal in causing fires would unques- tionably prove to be one of the best fire prevention moves.
