Cecil Tanning.

The Indianapolis star has the fol-
lowing to say about Cecil Tanning
who will be at the Grand opera house
Friday afternoon, an attraction of the
Radcliffe concert series:
providence has dealt kindly with
this young singer, for he is already
enjoying a wide reputation that is de-
MED scores of singers whose youth is
consumed by a mere struggling ex-
perience, thereby losing much of the
freshness that attends youth when
they are duly recognized-if good
fortune wills it so.
The standard of his numbers,
which is very high, was drawn from
the best in the song literature of the
German, Russian, old French and old
English, including compositions new
to American audiences.
His clean enunciation framed in
tona1 beauty brought out the charac-
teristics of each song

AT The THEATERS.
"Christian" at the Hip.

The sensations of a self-made girl
who suddenly finds herself feted and
dined in the highest society, should
be source of comfort to those who
have never attained social success.
Miss Edith Storey, who plays Glory
Quayle in the big eight-reel prOduc-
ton The Christian which is show
ing at the Hip theater all this week,
got into society and found it WASH t
anything like she expected.
The society was all in the play.
Glory Quayle is taken up and made
a social queen. She has her coaching
parties and receptions. Miss Storey,
who is a Texan and a common-sense
sort of a young person, did her so
ciety turn before the camera, and re-
ported to her friends.
"Oh, yes, L was in society" she said.
ST suppose we did it just as real So
ciety people would, but L want to
assure you I'd rather be a COW girl
than a society belle. Society, as
see it, is too much given over to hum
bugging your neighbor. Give me a
real girl pal, or a clean-cut young fell
low, and I'd rather go to a good show
with either of them than to be the
queen of the biggest ball in the
world. There's only one kind of so
ciety worth having. and that's the
kind founded on old friendship

SUBMARINE L-1 LAUNCHED.
Largest Under Water Craft Built for
 United States Navy

Quincy, Mass, Jan. 20.--The sub marine L-1, launched at the yards of the Fore River Shipbuilding corpor- ation today, is the largest submarine thus far built for the United States navy. She is one of seven vessels of the same type which have been au- thorlzed. The L-1 registered 450 tons and measures 165 feet over all. If contract stipulations are fulfilled, she will develop speed of fourteen knots on the surface and ten knots sub- merged.
 Mrs. Etza beth Scott Daubin. wife of Lieutenant Freeland A. Daubin, who is to be the first commander of the L-1, was chosen to christen the ves- sel. The submarine will be put through her trial paces in about month and it is expected that she will be ready for commission in three months.

 be remembered. It is difficult, to be- lieve that these simple. kindly; hon

 others scattered in foreign lands far

 he is held in special reverence in
 these countries. His memory is am lenual1y commemorated in the city Of 1 Cracow. in Austrian Poland. where he founded a religious house and is said Ito have raised a. dead youth to life and performed other miracles. St. 'Roque or Koch is considered to be the
 special patron of those afflicted with the plague3 while in England his feast was formerly observed as special

PASS OF BALMAHA LIABLE TO SEIZURE
 AS GERMAN PRIZE
Captors Have Not Yet Re- leased the Ship and May
 Decide to Hold It.

The Pass of Balmaha, which was transferred from British to American registry by Collector of the Port Jas. L. McGovern of this city, and which was distinguished by the fact that it was the first ship to be so transferred after the war started, may become a German prize.
 The Germans have not yet released the ship, which was brought into Bremen with 5000 bales of cotton on board, when it was bound from New Y ork to Archange1. The cargotis. not contraband but the circumstances of the case, which is complicated, may result in the seizure of the ship.
 The case is similar to that of the American steamer Dacia, in that the vessel was transferred from British to American registry, after the outbreak of the war and so far as can be as- certained, her cargo already had pass ed to the ownership of the Russian consignees The ultimate disposition of the Dacia, may be awaited as a pre- cedent.
 The Pass of the Balmaha was first held up on her voyage by a British cruiser, which placed aboard her a prize crew of five men Subsequently,, German submarine halted the bark and placed it in charge of a German petty officer According to accounts of the incident, the British prize crew remained in hiding for II days while the German officer took the vessel to port

Hear ranza soldiers, it was learned today, Temporarily took possession of Island No 10 in the Rio Grande for a short time while the Mexican raiding was at it's height a few days ago. This island is large. containing pasturage for considerable ! stock. American residents of the vicinity, which is near Rio Grande city, 100 miles above here, were mysttfied by the actions of the Mexican soldiers. The latter finally withdrew from the island.
 At Fort Brown here, the following report, made by peace officers to an army patrol officer op duty at a small station north of Brownsville was turn ed in.
 We met the Mexieans. They tried to, escape. We could not identify them so we left them there.''
 The hiatus in the narrative needs little eIucidafion.

The festival Of the Assurnption of Hthe Blessed Virgin Mary on the if teenth of August, which falls this year on this Sunday, is nows one of the most widely observed of the fetes of the Roman Catholic church. In France and Belgium Assumption" has long been one of the most popu- lar of religious hoIidays, and in many parts of Europe, especially Brittany and southern Belgium, the ceIebra- ton is quaint and beautiful in char acter- This year the fete will be a sad and solemn occasion for the Bel gians, to whom the day was formerly a. sort of harvest eair, in honor of Our Lady of the Harvest.
 While the French-speaking Catho- lies of Canada and Louisiana have always looked upon sAssunl ption'' as an important date in the church cal endar, it is only of late years that the English speaking Catholics of Amer ica have paid very much attention to this, the greatest of all the festivals in honor of the Virgin Mary. The Ancient Order of Hiberians has taken the lead in the movement to make Assumption as important here as in other parts of the world. ! Tn New York and other cities near the ocean which have a large foreign Epopu1ation, the feast day is custom ariIy observed by pilgrimages to the beaches, in which those who are af- hicted with physical or mental ail- nents take a prominent part Le- gend has it that those who have faith may find relief or a cure for their troubles in bathing in the waters of the ocean on this day. Tens of thous- ands of the crippled and i'll, young and old, visit Coney Island and other resorts so mean New York on every fifteenth of August. and many re- 1narkab1e coures are alleged to have { been wrought
 Above all other countries, perhaps, Belgium is. land of festal observ- ances. of religious parades and ceIe-
 bratfons and the name days of the
 saints form procession of fetes through every month of the year. In
 the Belgian calendar Assum ption is a red-letter day, and in happier times it's observance was marked by
 sDectacles which will finger long in
