Today is comedy day at the Indi-
ana when TITLES Punctured Ro-
nance" will be shown TO the patrons
of this theater. The star cast en-
gagged for this production includes.
Charles Chaplin, Marie Dressler and
Mabel Normand. These names were
of a sufficient guarantee of the merits
of the picture to attract unusual at
tentiOn when il was first released. IL
has been shown for number of
months throughout the country. but
never as yet has there been found a
comedy that equals it. Miss Dressler
was a recognized cOmedienne, appear
ing at the head of her own companies
in first class theaters. IL the charac-
ter of Tillie, the stupid servant girl,
who inherits fortune and is pursued
by persistent suitors, including the
funny Charlie Chaplin, she furnishes
the principal motive of the comedy.
Many of the scenes are elaborate, as
well as humorous, and one in partic-
ular. the ballroom of a palace, is mag
nificent.

WILSON AWAITS
FULL DETAILS
Gravity of Germany'S Act De-
pendS on Whether Warning
Was Given.

WASHINGTON. Aug 20. - Pres't
Wilson and Sec'y OF state Lansing
waited anxiousIy Thursday night for
the full details Of the sinking Of the
White Star liner Arabic by a German
submarine. as upon the incident may
depend the future relations OF the
United States and Germany.
state department officials say that
the gravity Of Germans act, so far as
the United States rs concerned cannot
be determined until IL is known detin-
itely whether there were Americans
on board and whether the submarine,
before making the attack, called upon
the vessel to stop. 1t would be inten-
sified, OF course, If there was loss
OF American lives.
In its last note TO Germany on the
subject Of neutral rights this govern
ment sum married. the principles which
1t insists must be observed. Ihey
were:
Held seas Were Free.
THAT the high seas are free; that
the character and cargo of mer-
chantman must first be ascertained
before she can lawfully be seized or
DESTROYED and that the lives OF nom
combatants may in no case be put in
jeopardy unless the vessel resists or
attempts TO escape after being sum-
mOned to submit 20 examination.
Elsewhere in the note the United
States gave this warning:
Repetition by the commanders OF
German naval vessels of acts in contra
vention of those rights must be re-
garded by the government OF the
United States. when they affect Amer
lean citizens, as deliberately untrlend-
~"
II il should develop that the Ger
man submarine made no effort TO stop
the vessel by warning shots or other
means and the lives of any Americans
or board were lost or even endan-
gered because of the German com
mandeT's failure 10 observe the rights
of neutrals for which this government
contends the sinking of the Arabic
will he accepted by the state depart
ment as "A defiant answer by Germany
10 the warning SO recently given by the
United States. such development
il is admitted. would make the issue
between the two governments more
acute than ever
No Issue IL Warned.
II on the other hand, ii is disclosed
that the submarine made an effort to
halt the Arabic and sank II only when
IN attempted to escape. this govern
ment isn't likely TO raise an issue re-
garding the incident, even If Ameri-
cans were lost.
The United States has expressed its
views repeatedly on the subject. In
its note OF June Q TO Germany, 1T said:
Nothing but actual fOrcible re-
sfstance or continued efforts to es-
cape by flight when ordered to stop
for the purpose OF visit on the part
of the merchantmen has ever been
held TO forfeit the lives of the passen-
gers and crew

MAY VACATE PETR0GRAD
Russ Government Thinking of Moving
To Moscow.

BERLIN, Aug. 20. - According to
Petrograd papers just arrived here the
Russian government is seriously con-
sidering the removal of its seat to Mos
COW or some other large city in the in
terror of the empire. This step may
be taken if Riga falls into the hands
of the Germans. The minister of jus
tice ShtchegioWitOw has submitted
the plan to the czar, but the ruler does
not favor it. as he considers an attack
on the capital highly improbable, and
does not believe that the unrest of the
socialist working classes will lead TO
serious uprisings.

cost of board and lncidentais have
been so materially decreased under

who under former conditions would
have gone round the University are

Work is progressing nicely on
making out the taX-receipts in the
sheriff's Office from the new 1915
rolls. Several townships have al
ready been worked up. Sheriff
Green has this trio at work on that
job: d. e. BreIano, A. NJ. Mcleod
and S, ]. Green, all of whom as is
we'll known have had experience in
that work and hence they are rat
thing along pretty lively at it.
At the request of the pastor, Rev,
w. G.. McNeece of the Greene Co.
Mission charge of the M. E. Church,
South, we call attention to the hold
ing of the 4th Quarterly conference
at Winborn Chapel Saturday and
Sunday, Sept. 25th. and 18th, this
being the last quarterly conference
of the year full attendance OF the
stewards aud official members is es-
pecially urged.
D. E. Breland went down to Mo-
bile last week and brought back a
handsome Buick car, which he will
likely retain for use IN the sheriff's
Office next year; and machine will
prove handy auxiliary that way TO
both the people and the officer.
