The coupon which will admit Star
1ndepe ndent readers to the Majestic
Theatre Monday evening to see Thurs
ton, the famous magician and his com
pany of 26 people, from any seat in the
theatre for 25 cents will appear in to-
morrow's Star-Independent Since the
announcement of this unusual oppor-
tunity so much interest has been mani
Tested that there is sure to be big de-
mand for to-morrow's tar-Independent
in order to get the coupons to take ad-
vantage of this offer.
Those intending to see the opening
performance of Mr., Thurston under the
Star-Independent arrangements should
clip the coupons and present them at
the Majestic box office early enough to
get choice seats, which can be reserved
any time Saturday for the Monday
evening performance.
All that is necessary is to present
one or more coupons at the box Office
and select the seats desired. Only one
seat is to be allowed with each coupon
and 25 cents and if more than one seat
is wanted it will be necessary to have
as many coupons as seats desired. The
coupons are good for Monday night S
performance only.
1t is the first time that readers of
any newspaper in this city have been
given such liberal opportunity to see
a strictly high-class performance such
as Thurston, the magician, will present
at the Majestic next Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday, with matinees Tues
day and Wednesday.
Although still in his thirties, Thurs
ton has taken the foremost position in
the ranks of the profession in which
Hermann and Kellar won lasting dis
tinction. He has appeared in every
civilized part of the globe, and by ere
ating new and unique novelties his en-
tertainment is one long to be remem-
bered. Men and women from all walks
of life find pure and recreative diversion
in Thurston performance and all talk
of his mysteries long after he has gone.
Magic is a word that makes chill
dren of us all. To sit and watch Thurs
ton fit from wonder to wonder, from
mystification to mystification and our
boyhood days return and we marvel if
he really employs little red imps to help
him as his big posters would suggest.
Thurston eclipses Santa Claus for
youthful America and his coming will
be a gala event in the lives of the lit
tie tots, his performances are ever
crowded with wide-eyed, ,mouthed,
wondering lads and lassies who are
having the time of their lives.

TO PHOTOGRAPH HEARTS
Will Utilize X-Ray to Determine Eff
feet of Rowing

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 26.-To de-
termine the effects of oarsmanship on
the growing college youth, the Harvard
rowing management has completed ar
rangements to have the best of the
Varsity and Freshman crew men have
their hearts photographed by the X
ray.
There has been considerable discus
sion as to whether the four.mile race
is harmful, and great deal of criti-
cism of college coaches for driving their
oarsmen too hard. Harvard has lost
several valuable oarsmen through the
development of some ailment which in
some cases has been attributed to poor
judgment in handling the men.
The present plan at Cambridge will
call for each oarsman having his heart
photographed before and after the
present rowing season.

ASSOCIATED PRESS SAYS
D|SC0RD ELIMINATED
GERMANY FRAMING SUBMA-
RINE POLICY TO CONFORM
TO WILSON'S IDEAS
lBy Associated Press

Berlin, Aug. 26.-The Associated
Press is in a position to state on the
very best authority, that the Arabic
incident may be considered as good
as eliminated, as a source of discord
between Germany and America or
at least it is regarded by Germany
In that light. Moreover Germany, in
her desire to continue on friendly re.
lations with the United States, had
adopted, before the sinking of the
Arabic policy designed to settle
completely the whole submarine
problem, as affecting America, on a
basis of good will, and mutual under
standing.
This was shown by a statement
made by Chancellor Hollweg to The
Associated Press, particularly by the
concluding remark. that mot until
all of the circumstances in connec-
tion with the sinking of the Arabic
had been cleared, would 1t be pos
sible to say whether the commander
of one our submarines went beyond
his instructions" In which case Ger
many would give complete satisfac-
tion to the United States.
Another communication, supple
menting that which the German am
bassador transmitted to the state de-
partment Tuesday, is expected from
Berlin, and pending the arrival Won
Bernstorff will remain at the EN-
bassy at Washington It is confid-
emily believed that the next word
will be the announcement that, pend

warfare on passenger ships will be

Philadelphia, Aug. 26.-lPresident
Wilson's plan for armament will be
first begun in Philadelphia. A rush
order was received at the League Is
land navy yard today for three of
the big 12-inch naval guns there to
be converted into field howitzers for
use in the army. This will give the
United States the first set of large
number of heavy field pieces, as it
was announced in Washington sew
eral months ago would be the first
step Of the administration to put the
nation in proper state Of prepared
ness.
Every effort has been made by the
navyyard officials to keep these ord
ers strictly secret and information Of
the conversion Of naval guns into
artillery that is we'll adapted for a
siege campaign was secured from
one of the heads of the gun shop,
who said he personally had received
the orders.
In addition it was stated that tre-
mendous tractors, with wheels is in
ches wide, such as are now being us
ed so successfully by the German ar
mics, will be constructed to drag the
huge artillery pieces over the roads.
Army officers, when told of this or.
der were elated At the present time
they dclard there is not single gun
in the United States army that would
be adaptable for siege works.
