Mantell's king John"

Despite the fearsome tragedy OF

ror OF the wanton crimes against
the innocent, Shakespeare's king
John" Is one OF the most interest
compelling OF all the bards histori-
cal plays. and as presented by Rob

Friday evening in the Garrick, II
became, from an acting point OF
view. one o. ne special achieve
ments OF the week on the part of
Mr.. Mantell and his associates.
Mr.. Mantell made known King
John a season ago. after many
years OF absence OF the play from
the American stage. A careful pro-
duction was planned and the effort
OF Mr.. Mantell and his manager to
give an adequately acted and seen
ically imposing presentation OF the
play was moro than successful and
met with appreciative recognition
from the public.
Mr. Mantell's presentation OF the
crafty. cruel John Is a superb piece
OF work. and stands in eminence b.
side his Characterization OF Lear
and Richard.
Genevieve Hamper. as In previous
presentations OF the play on the
local stage by Mr.. Mantell. played
young Prince Arthur with appeal.
Ing Innocence and charm. and In
the scene between the young prince
and Hubert-played by John Burke
where Arthur pleads that his eyes
be not burned out, there was not an
undimmed eye in the theater, and
sobs were heard from many quar-
tiers.
Every character was capable pre-
sented by the sterling members of
the company, and the massive

EITEL FRIEDRICH
MAY TAKE CHANCE
TO GET TO SEA

WASHINGTON, March 27.--Suh.
marines and destroyers now at
anchor in Hampton Roads were sent
there In the regular course OF naval
business and rot to interfere with
TIE Prinz Eitel Friedrich. II was
stated positively at the navy de-
partment today. Whenever the Fit.
els commander decides to risk run
ming the gauntlet, II was declared
there would be nothing to interfere
with him. Should he decide TO go
out. he can do so. and his intentions
will be guarded by the port officials.
as TO do anything else would be a
fragrant breach OF neutrality.
Reports reaching here that the
Eitel had steam up we're said not TO
mean that she was ready for dash
to sea. Her boilers have been un-
dergoing repairs, and II was ex.
planned that the fires under them
were undoubtedly for the purpose
OF testing them. Oficials are now
beginning to believe. however, that
after all. the German cruiser may
intend to attempt an escape. That
she could successfully win through
the Capes and on out to the open
sea is doubted here. Latest reports
were that there were three allied
warships outside one French and two
British, and that any one OF them
would be more than match for the

admitted that withdrawal OF the
Russians striking against Bukowina
may have become necessary at this
time. The Slavs are concentrating
their forces at the Lupkow, Dukls
and Uszok passes for the drive into
Hungary, and II was pointed out that
a cessation Of the offensive near the
Rumanian border may have become
imperative.

they catch the first glimpse of the

you can understand how a hospital

To get into hospital Is one of a

strict laws in all armies against men
wounding themselves. In the
French army this self.wounding is
known as ''mutilation." and the pun

after serving Is years In order to
permit him to enter the army, per-

mangled hands. and the truth came
out. Both men were executed.

FISH
PLANTED
Rainbow Trout to Re-
stock Great
Lakes

MARQUETTE, Mich.-The Michi-
gan Fish commission. of which John
G. Mann, Of Houghton. is a member.
has devoted much Of its. attention In
the past OF fostering the purely
sporting fishing OF the state. II Is
going to make that secondary here
after. II plans to restock the Great
Lakes with food fish, and II hopes to
make the rainbow trout the medium.
On the Pacific coast. the salmon
spawn In rivers. going from the sea
in schools every spring. They lay
their eggs as high up the streams
as possible and go back to the sea,
such OF them as are not caught for
the canneries. The spawn are hatch.
ed naturally and the fry in time
seek the sea and when large enough
to spawn themselves they return to
the stream of their birth. This Is
the habit Of the rainbow trout.
The Michigan plan Is. in part. to
plant rainbow spawn in all the riv
ers leading to Lake Superior, al
least such streams as will be large
enough to accommodate the future
schools OF spawning fish. The fish
Matched in these rivers will return
to them to spawn and thus each
stream will be future hatchery fol
the fish supply that will be taker
from the lake. II is proposed Il
prohibit rainbow fishing in anything
but the lake. saving the rivers FOL
the spawning grounds. encouraging
the nsh to return to their ole
streams year after year.
II Is said that while the rainbow
trout may not be superior to the
true Columbia river salmon. II Is
its equal and II is superior to much
OF the Ash that Is canned as Colum
bja salmon The rainbow Is about
the largest present-day fresh water
fish II is adapted to canning as vel
as to serving as fresh fish. The
rainbow was brought to the Great
lakes by the Michigan Fish commits
sion some 20 years ago from the
Cloud river, in the Rocky mountains
II has taken readily to the waters
and their connecting rivers.
