"The Japanese Girl" Tonight.

The Musical Clubs Of the women's
division Of Colby will present the
operetta, 1.-THE Japanese Girl" in the
Opera House Thursday evening. Tie
idea Of substituting an operetta for
the annual Glee Club concert is a new
one this year. 1.-The japanese Girl"
as been chosen and the girls are doing
their best to make 1t a success, and 20
portray a realistic picture of pic
turesque Japan. The story is based
on d pretty custom prevalent in some
parts Of Japan. When a man relative
has to be absent from home for con-
siderable time he often leaves behin1
a growing plant, young tree, or singing
bird. which is called by his name and
regarded as his substitute. The great
est care is bestowed on this object,
as It is considered most unlucky to
the person whom it represents, should
any harm befall it during his absence.

A COMMENT WORTHY
PUBLIC ATTENTION

Col. Frederic E. Boothby, who. after
having been the chief executive Of
Names largest city, is keenly alive to
things that make for municipal bet
terment called the attention of the
Kennebec Journal representative
Wednesday to a matter small in itself,
which might involve serious conse
quences 1t is well known that In
larger cities, teams left standing are
required to face In the direction Of tn,
traffic. That is, a team or automo-
bile left on the western side Of Main
street should face toward the Lock-
wood mill, the same direction Of a We
hicle moving along the street on the
right hand side, and vice-versa. II
this were done, chances Of collision
would be much reduced. That the
fault is not alone that Of visitors in
town is shown by the fact that sew
eral public carriages were standing In
the wrong direction. and 1t was the
position of a public carriage that &C.
casioned Col. Boothby's remark. The
holding Of license to drive public
carriage should imply a knowledge OF
the rules Of the road, even II the sam
are not all incorporated in the city or.
dtnances.

U. S. REPRESENTATIVES
TO TURKISH GOVT

Washington, April 28.-Ambassador
Morganthau at Constantinople cabled the
state department today that there was
considerable uneasiness in Turkey over
the Armenian situation and that he al
ready had made representations to the
Turkish government for the protection of
Armenians. He referred to one natural
lied American citizens who had been
threatened.
Mr.. Morgenthau's message crossed one
sent to him yesterday by the state de-
partment instructing him to take up with
the Turkish government reports of out
breaks in Armenia laid before the de-
partment by the Russian ambassador.
Today's report. it is said, gave no de-
tails of the uprising. Officials here are
still inclined to believe that kurd ban
dts against whom Turkish regular troops
recently were sent to the border at Mr..
Morgenthau's request, were responsible
for the new outbreaks.
Attacks by the Kurds upon native
Christians both in Persia and Armenia
have been frequent for many years.

Brindisi Story
From information gathered at brlh-
dist from various survivors it is pos
sible to construct the story OF the dls-
aster as follows:
The Leon Gambetta parted company
with the French cruiser jules Ferry
last night to cross the Strait or Otran-
to with a view to cooperating with
other French ships in an attempt 10
block the Austrian fleet if it should
seek to leave the Adriatic. This was
not an unusual maneuver. as the Leon
Gambetta for months had been going
up and down the coast from Cape
Santa Maria Leuca to Brindisi Bari
or across to Corfu and Vallena.
The sea was perfectly calm and the
moon shone brightly. Although the
Leon Gambetta showed no lights and
adopted the other customary precau-
tons, there was no suspicion of dan
ger. At midnight, the warship was
about 20 miles from Cape Santa Maria
Leuca. The lookout could see distinct
ly the lights of the Italian coast. At
sea nothing appeared on the horizon.
The Explosion
Suddenly there was fearful explo-
sion, which shook the cruiser fore and
aft. officers and men remained calm
and, the survivors say, their first
thought was not for their own safety,
but rather to detect and attack their
assaiIant. They scanned the sea for a
periscope, but in vain.
Asati1e cruiser was listing rapidly,
the commander gave orders that sig
nails for help be sent and that the
boats be lowered. 1t proved to be most
difficult to lower the boats, owing to
the position of the ship in the water.
Some of the men leaped overheard in
the bare hope of saving themselves.
Others were washed off the decks. The
commander, although urged to aban-
don his ship, refused to do so.
None Of the survivors was able to
say how long it was before assistance
arrived. 1t is probable that several
hours elapsed before these men were
rescued.
