LA TENA'S CIRCUS
Is Famous For Its Animal Acts. Will Be
Seen Here June 18th.
Newport r. l., Herald

La Tena's wild animal circus is q very un-
usual snow. 1t is not quite like any tent en- :
tertainment that has ever been here. In it
wild animals are brought forward, though the
acrobat and the trapeze performer are not for
gotten. And in its presentation of wild ami
NAL acts several scenes that are thrilling as
well as interesting are given.
In one den of lions is used and in another
a cage of bears is put on. The lions and the
bears are turned into large circular wire
cage and in this the performances are given.
Over the lions woman becomes perfect mis-
tress and one animal finally is made to lie
down and another is made to affectionately lie
across him. Then the woman sits down upon
the last lion and one of the most remarkable
pyramids ever seen is formed. In this there
is much done that one ordinarily sees at cir
Gus. but finally the ponderous beast crouches
upon the trainer and seems about to crush him
when only the head of the man remains visi-
BILE. There is sigh of relief when the animal
raises hims elf and it shows that the elephant
has merely been covering the trainer and has
ever touched him.
These three animal acts are amazing and
stamp the show as one of the best even in
comparison with the great circuses that have
been given here. The trained seals, however,
add much to this side of the general perform
apce.
The show is in three parts and beside the
circular wire cage in which the animal acts
are done there is a stage and ring, so that
really it is three-part show. On the stage
contortionist act is very Interesting and there
is also a good trapeze performance. The
clowns that really funny and the ponies
and dogs should not be forgotten in their good
work.
The circus exhibits in Belfast, Thursday,
June 18th.

THE NOTE TO GERMANY.
Secretary Bryan Resigns from the Cabinet

President Wilson's note to Germany was ap-
proved by his Cabinet last week, but has been
delayed because of the Presidents desire to
make the phraseology SO explicit as to leave
NO room for doubt or furthur argument con-
cerning the position Of the United States
government-that the right Of visit and search
must be exercised and passengers and crews
Of unarmed ships on which neurrals are voyag-
ing transferred to place of safety before any
prize is destroyed by belligerent warship.
Tuesday Mr.. Bryan rendered his resigna-
ton as Secretary of State and it was accepted
by the President, and will be accepted by the
country generally. Mr.. Bryan does not ap-
prove of the demands made ON Germany to
respect neutrals and the rules Of civilized
warfare.
