Amusements
POLI'S

''The Nigger," the photopIay which has aroused so much discussion here as we'll as elsewhere throughout the United States, will positively be pre- in conjunction with the big vaude- vile show. The picture was passed yesterday by local police authorities and created the greatest interest at its initial >showings.
 The film version is from Edward Sheldon's great play and is most adequately presented by William Farnu1n and big cast. Thousands of people are required for the spec tacu1ar mob scenes, included - in which are several companies of United States regular soldiers. The picture is of gripping interest and is. we'll worth seeing.
 In addition, there is 8 vaudeville bill of superb merit. Featured in the program are Lane & O,Donneu, Bridgeport boys, who are popular fla vorites here. They have an offering that is chock full of laughs and thrills and last night received a tre-- mendous ovation.
 Hyman Adler, the noted character actor, and his own company are ap- bearing in a comedy playlet called ttSo1omon's Bargain" that is very good. Another big attraction of the vaudeville bill is t*Poppy1and'' musical comedy with cast ofk ten, including a chorus of very pretty, talented girls.
 Other features of the bill are Joe and Ernie Van in a happy slxit of harmony and comedy; Marion Weeks, a 1alenteda songstress of the Belle Storey type; and Grace Wassof1, in singing and acrobatic novelty.
 The Nigger'' will be shown after che matinees and between the even- ing performances.

NEW FACTS CONCERNING
 HISTORY OF THE EARTH.
and Gulf Coastal Plain Discussed in Survey Report

New details are continually being added by geoIogists to the known his tory of the earth, including the de- veIopment of plants and animals. However, that history. which is re- corded in the rocks, is still fragmen- tary, like a badly mutilated book. One of the great defects in the record in the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain regions of this country is the ab- sence of the later part of the Cretace- ous and the early part of the Eocene chapters-perhaps to 10 million years ago. A report recently issued by the Geological Survey as Profess ienaI Paper 9O4J, entitled "1Fhe Gre. taceous- Eocene Contact in the At lantic and Gulf Coastal Plain,'' by l.. ". Stephenson, discusses this missing the break must cover a very long period of time. It is known that at. that time the continents were at. least as large as and probably larger than they are now 4ahd the oceans were accordingly smaller. Any rocks that were then formed in the sea seem to have been Weatheredi and washed away.
 Hundreds of kinds of plants and animals that lived before and hun. dreds that lived after this great peri cd are known, but not one which liv- ed during the period. Strange to say. few if any of the species which existed before the unknown period lived through it. It is like a, play in which the places of one act re- main the same as in the preceding but the characters are all new, and yet many of the new players resen- b1e the old ones so much that one is compelled to admit that they are close relatives. In each of the states bordering the Atlantic Ocean, south Of New York, and the Gulf of Mexico. are layers of rock which were formed before and after the period whose record is missing. In these layers are entonnbed sea shells of many kinds. but apparently not one species lived through from Cretaceous Eo- cene time.
 The rivers of the United States car ry to tidewater every year 27o, ,OO0,- 900 tons of dissolved matter and 513,- 900, 6e0 tons of suspended matter. This total of 7S3, 900, 900 tons repre- sent more than 350.0OO, ,0OO cubic yards Of rocks, or e1e, 900, 900 cubic yards of surface soil.

frontier. The position they stormed
was on a hill to the east of the vii

This fortihcation was constructed

The Russian success around Kolka
and Charloreisk, however, enable"
them to obtain a footing on the lef

yIvIANI is SUSTAINED.
French Deputies, By Vote of 372 to ,,
Declare Confidence In The Gov
ernment.

Paris, Oct. 14.-The French min
istry's handling of the Balkan situa-
ton, including the landing Of Mill
tary expedition in Greece, was ap-
proved by the Chamber of Deputies
last night, when a resolution OF con-
fdence in the Government was ad-
opted by vote Of 372 to 8.
This action followed speech by
Premier Viviani, replying to criticisms
of the Governments course, in which
the Premier, declaring that it had
seemed to the Government to be I'M
possible to let Serbia be assasslnated
from in front or behind" declined to
make a full statement in regard tt
the expedition, on the ground that the
interests of France were not alone
concerned, and the facts, in part, como
to the ministry in confidence from the
chancellories of the nations Allies
The Premier said the expedition Sent
to aid the Serbians had not weakened
the western front, but that the plans
had been carefully prepared, and the
general stats of the Allies telleVec
they would be successful.
The attack upon the ministry, led b!
Prof. Paul Paincleve, followed the Pre
mier's announcement of the resignH-
tion of Foreign Minister Delcasse
which was presented to the Cablne'
Tuesday night and accepted yesterday
At the Cabinet meeting it was argued
that Premier Viviani should take the
portfolio of Foreign Affairs.
In announcing the resignation 0
NJ. Delcasse to the Chamber OF De

TURTLE CAPTURES HAWK.
Swiftest Bird Prey 10 Sl0wcst OF
Crawlers.

York, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE fable OF
the hare and the tortoise is surpassed
by the feat Of Il LAID turtle at York
Springs, near Hanover, which captur-
ed hawk. The story is related by
Miss Mabel Griest, who killed the
hawk.
Miss Griest was walking through q
field, when she noticed bird in the
grass frantically beating it wings. APP
preaching she found it to he a hawk
with one leg securely caught between
the jaws of turtle. Though struck
violently by the hawks wings the
turtle held on until the girl struck the
prisoner a blow with stick. killing
it.
How the swiftest of birds was
caught by it's sluggish adversary is a
mystery. The only plausible explana-
ton is that the hawk must have ahgh-
ted close to the turtle and been caught
by its powerful jaws.

GREEK REPLY TO SERBIA
Will Keep in Reserve for Better
Use Later"

Athens, Oct. 14.-The Greek reply
to Serbia's representation that the
Bulgarian attack on Serbia, completes
the act Of aggression contemplated
under the treaty of alliance between
Greece and Serbia, and asking if the
Greek army is ready to enter action
against Bulgaria, was delivered yes
terday.
Beginning with the declaration that
"the royal government greatly re-
erets that it is unable to accedc to
quests" the reply explains
that tho alliance OF 1911, while fore
seeing Bulgarian aggression, was linn
tied TO preserving an equilibrium
among the Bulkan states.
"The preamble of the treaty. the
reply continues. defines it as Of
purely Balkan character, not apply
ing to Il general coaiiagraticr-
The note minuteiy argues that the
treaty docs not cover the situation
which has arisnn--a situation in which
''Greccc might destroy herself with
out hope of saving Sofia, which can
not wish such a result" It is added
that common interests demand that
the Greek forces still be kept in re-
serve for better use later
The note concludes with the decIara
ton that Greece intends to remain an
armed neutral, and assures Serbia
that Greece will continue to give her
every assistance and facility COM
patible with Grcece's exclusively in
