Saving that's their idea. A
curious rumor touching the stub

Orleans.
Witness the French case of
Capt. L. and his horse Fig
uig." Grievously wounded on the
Marine, the brilliant cavalry Off
Ger had to be tended in the ground
floor living room of an abandoned
village hotel. They dared not
move him. Day by day his life
dragged. All the troopers knew
the tender love of Capt. l. for
his horse, Figuig, and the almost
human way the beast recipro-
Gated. So, when Capt. l. was
very low, his orderly, hardened
Belfort dragoon, had the nerve to
way1ay the major (doctor)-and
bring Figuig into the combina-
ton.
'TIe needs it urgent" said the
red-nosed dragoon, with manly
tremor, ''and it is as easy-just

and again it was repeated. Strong

Ten days later Claude came to
the major, boasting:

"Quoi, quot, he is getting on
fine, l will not deny it, said the
doctor, ''but what's this of bully,

All of added to his in

That Pensacola is 1.-The most suit
able place In the United States for
a naval aeronautic CENTER" and that
Pensacola will get the aeronautic
station, despite rumors that factor
les will be built elsewhere for the
manufacture of air craft, is the as
sertion made by Secretary Of the
Navy Josephus Daniels in letter
to Senator Bryan, of Florida. The
letter said in part:
"Thelocation of the aeronautic
station at Pensacola was done be-
cause it was considered to be the
most suitable place in the United
States for a naval aeronautic center.
The experience gained in the last
year seems to confirm our opinion in
this respect. The aeronautic sta
tion is being developed as fast as the
funds are available and the circum-
stances warrant such development.
1t is intended to continue this de-
velopment and for the present, at
least, the development of factories
for air craft or the development Of
air craft centers will not be consid-
cred at any other place.

land to have abandoned her cam
paign against Servia for the sake Of
sending additional troops to the
Italian frontier. 1t is reported from
the same source that Vienna has de-
cided to sound Russia on peace
terms. The official organ of the Vat
ican denies the report that Austria
has requested the Pope's assistance
in peace negotiations.
Popular agitation in Italy con-
corning the country's attitude has
increased to a point which necessi-
tates energetic action to prevent dis
orders. Factions for and against
war have arranged mass meetings
tomorrow, which the leaders say will
be held in spite OF police prohibi-
tion.
The French, with the capture Of
Les Spargas, have obtained the one
main object Of their advance south
eastward from Verdun. The posi-
tion dominates the plains of Wevere.
Progress from Verdun means heav-
Ter pressure on the northern flank Of
the Germans holding St. Michel.
What is reported as information
from the Austrian general star says
that in the battle along the Dukla
front in the Carpathians the Aus
trians lost twenty-six thousand men.
Official French and German re-
ports today indicate that fighting In
France between the Meuse and
Mosselle rivers has developed into q
desperate struggle along a consider-
able portion Of the western front.

also as the troupe made their grand

A unique feature was the grave,

scenery for this performance was de-
signed by H. Bierce Of Auburndale,

hard to make the show a success.

he pulled of big production. and
one enjoyed by all present. It was
to be regretted that one of the main

Producer Barr introduced several
big show features which had not
been previously pulled off in Lake

theater and made their entrance to

he grand finale the stage was brok-
IN, and had the audience understood
the act, the performers would have
been able to have marched down the
iisles unhampered, as they did on
heir entrance, but on reaching the
loor of the theater the crowd had
blocked the aisles, probably think

pieces. It Is probable that when the

SOCIALIST LEADER
TALKS OF ANNEXING
NEW TERRITORY

London. April 9-Emile Wander
velde, socialist leader and minister
of state for Belgium. displays a view
as to annexing new territory to
Belgium. If Belgium shall be recon-
quered and Germany cvrushed, that
fails to please the more ardent
Steele, the Belgian journal now
publishing in Havre.
Belgians, NJ. Vandervelde declar-
ed. are not ambitious, and the only
part they would be likely to annex
is the grand duchy of Luxembourg,
providing the Luxemburgers them
selves wish it. He added that II it
could be done without injustice and
by the consent Of the people. some
of the bordering country whose pop
ulation is Belgian rather than Ger
man might also be taken over. But
as to conquering and annexing any
true part Of Germany, that NJ. VAN
dervelde could naot think Of.
The IKE Steele. answering the
socialist minister. comes out for a
greater Belgium. and advocates the
annexing of German territory to in
clude Aix-le-Chapelle.
Both NJ vandervelde and the
IKE Steele are in turn criticized by
the Independence Beige, published
in ondon. for their prematureness
IL says editorially:
"Let us first say that il seems at
least inopportune to nourish pro-
jects of conquest at time when our
thoughts ought to be centered on
the delivery of our country form
German domination.
''Our heroic soldiers fall in the
defense of our country and not to
rob the Germans of theirs. Let
thesecriminals be put In a position
where they can not hurt us, btu
let us have no ambition to initiate
them. Aix-la-Chapelle has always
been a German city. Besides, moth
ing would be more absurd than to
break the equilibrium betwkeen the
Latin and German elements Of our
