GERMAN CHARGES TAKEN UP.

Charges Of the German Embassy at
Washington that parts Of submarines
are being constructed in the United
States for shipment through Canada to
the allies were considered yesterday
at the Cabinet meeting.
Count Won Bernstorff. the German
Ambassador. made a protest on this
subject about two months ago, and
Secretary of State Bryan undertook to
investigate. Recently it has been re-
ported to the Navy Department speci-
fcally that parts of submarines were
being constructed for the allies at the
Union Iron Works. San Francisco. for
delivery through Canada.
On Saturday the German Embassy
gave out a brief statement saying such
work was being done by the Union Iron
Works and the Bethlehem Steel works.
This statement was sent to the State
Department. The UNOFFICIAL reports to
the Navy Department intimated the
work was being done very secretly at
the Union Iron Works. The work done
during the day disappeared at night.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels dis
cussed all these matters yesterday
merely as reports.

CHARLES HARRIS TAKES
OVER MAJESTIC THEATER
Last Change of Management to Bring
Permanent Orsanization-John
Crieves Manaser.

Charles Harris. son of the late Senator
Harris. Of Tennessee. has bought the
Majestic Theater. and under the ne~
regime it is expected the playhouse will
be elevated to its former enviable popu-
larity.
TIL vicissitudes in ownership and man.
aEement of the local playhouse during
the present winter have been numerous
and frequent but 1t is announced that
the present owner proposes to give an
unparalleled stability and continuity to
the running of the theater.
Mr. Harris is we'll known in Washing
ton. with which city he has been asso-
ciated in a business way for many years.
About ten years ago he was connected
with the management of the Majestic
Theater. then known as the Bijou. Since
then he has followed theatrical man
agerial work constantly, making an i'm
mense success of it. He is son Of Sena-
tor Harris, who for twenty-four years
occupied a seat in the upper branch OF
Congress, and who was one OF the most
distinguished governors Tennessee ever
had.
Mr.. Harris has made John Grieves his
manager. Mr.. Grieves might be callea
one of the "old boys" In local theatrical
circles. He has been following the stage
for many years. For four years. from
1899 to 1903 he was manager Of the old
Majestic Theater, and was the most Sue
cessful head the playhouse ever had. II
increase in popularity and patronage may
be considered barometers. Since 1908 Mr..
Grieyes has been on the road in vaude-
willie and burlesque work.
Two of Mr.. Grieves' children are menu
bers Of his stock company. They are
John and Alva Grieves. They are max
ing a distinct hit this week. Alva. dainty
and charming. is singing q number Oh
catchy songs. and John Is playing the
role Of a thief in Jimmy Valentines
Pals" a burletta.
There will be no radical departure In
the policy Of the theater." said Mr..
Grieves last night. "The shows will be
Of the character Of refined vaudeville.
They will be first class and perfectly
legitimate Each performance will con-
sist Of two tabloids, lasting an hour ana
a quarter each. These will be much aKir,

day. The chorus girls are pretty. and
the entire cast Is well trained. feel
sure that the public will be as well
pleased with my productions now as they
were during my previous engagement

HAS NO IDEA OF BIG LOAN,
Britain Not to Attempt Securing OF
Financial Support.

London. Feb. 2S.-Chancellor Lloyd
George declared in the House of Com

time had no idea of making joint loan
of $4,000. 600 600. He said the suggestion
for the making of this loan by the allies
had found more favor on the Continent
than it had in England.
IF the loan of $4,000. 900 900 were At
tempted and ended in failure it would
amount to a financial disaster" said the
cha ncellor.
Loyd-George said that another con-
ference concerning the proposal for the
joint loan would be held in London at
some early date.
What is most important" said the
chancellor. ''is that We have large gold
reserves and that we use it freely. 1t is
the duty of the government to be pre-
pared to utilize the whole of its resources
in the prosecution of this expensive war.
The resources of the allied nations
are tremendous. Where the allies fell
short'was in the fact that it did not do
