|SWA|N'S MILDRED"
IS WELL RECEIVED
POPULAR PLAYERS HAVE GOOD
AUDIENCE TO WITNESS THEIR
THIRD PLAY.

The Swain Show last night gave the
third one of its repertoire OF dramatic
successes, Mildred" before good
sized audience, at the tent on Hardy
street. That Hattiesburg appreciates
the efforts of the well-known show
man, who has been coming to this city
for seven years, was shown by the ap-
plause given the Swain players.
Mildred" drama filled with thrills
and interest, while an old one, never
had been produced here before. 1t is
the story of a founding who has
grown to womanhood, and on the eve
of the public announcement of her en-
gagement to wed a famous painter, is
told of her uncertain parentage for
the first time. Powers are at work
not only to ruin financially the father
of her adoption, but to secure the hand
of the now grown girl in marriage
for the son of the man directly respon-
sible for the money entanglements.
For a time it looks as if Mildred
would be forced to wed the man not
of her choice in order to save her
adopted father from financial ruin and
from a prison sentence. But as such
stories always end, such was not the
case. The artist becomes famous,
sells a lot of paintings, and comes 70
the rescue of the girl whom he loves,
just in the nick of time.
The Swain players gave a creditable
performance. When it is considered
that they have been out of winter
quarters but short time, and that
they change their program every
night it may be SAID that they did ex-
ceptionally well.
Diavolo, following the concert which
ends the intent performance, gave an

DANIELS ORDERS
ADMIRAL TO Be
COURT MART|ALED

Washington, Oct. 15.-Secretary
Daniels today ordered the trial by
court martial of Rear Admiral Will
liam N. Little, on Charges involving
neglect and careless methods in the
conduct of his duty while inspector
of machinery at the Fore River Ship
Building company, Quincy, Mass. in
connection with the construction OF
the submarine U. S. s. K-2."
The court will meet at the Boston
navy yard October Is and will be
composed of Rear Admiral Fiske,
Helm, Park, WorthingtoE, Gleaves
and Dunn and Paymaster General
Cowie, with Lieutenant Commander
A. ". Johnson, as judge advocate.
"The action of the department in
this case, said the statement issued
by Secretary Daniels, "of ordering
the trial by general court martial of
an of1cer who has been retired after
obtaining the highest naval ranks on
charges relating to duties performed
prior to retirement is somewhat radi-
cal and arrests attention.
1T a be accounted for only as an
evidence of the departments deter
mination that the inspection of ships
under construction for the navy shall
be conducted with the greatest care
and thoroughness."
The K'2 was accepted in January,
1914, and troubles with her storage
batteries have developed since that
time, navy officials said today.

the rear. They know by their expe-
rience from the first Balkan war that
an attack on Constantinople from the
Tschadalja line can easily meet with
success, and That, If this plan of the
Allies should be carried out, Constan-
tinople would fall within a short time.
AS Russia, in this war, suffered de.
feat after defeat, the Allies would be
forced to leave Constantinople to the
Russian ally as a compensation for his
defeats; and as Servia is an ally, the
Anglo-French troops, operating in
Macedonia, would not be withdrawn
until Sorvia was in a position to de.
fend Macedonia singleJhanded. So
the Bulgarians decided upon war fol-
the same reason that Greece finally
decided upon preserving neutrality.
