Cologne, April 2-Under the title

that the constantly increasing cost
Of leather footwear be Offset BY the
manufacture once more Of shoes

says.
Estimating that Germany is feed

|EukS' MINSTREL Isl
| BOOKED TO START
| EXACTLY ON TINE
; (By Earl C. May)

For what will probably be the first
time in local theatrical history the
curtain will rise sharply at S:15,
Friday night, April 9, upon the first
part Of the Second Annual Lakeland
Elks Minstrel Show in the Lake.
land Auditorium-and no patrons
will be admitted or seated in the
Auditorium after that hour.
This is the dictum of Director
General Charles II. Barr and goes
as 1t lays clear across the board and
both ways at once. There will be
no late comers at the Lakeland Elks'
Minstrel. Or, il there be any late
comers. they will not arrive any
closer than the outer doors of Cliff
on Green's emporium of theatrical
delights. Unless they arrive there
by or before 8:15 on the night Of the
Elks' Minstrel they had best not
come at all; for, like the guardian
at the gate, fat old c. Clifton
Green will drop the flag on late
corners and they will have to be
content with cooling their heels and
theirtummies at the nearest soda
fountain whilst they wait to hear
what the neighbors say Of the show.
"There is a reason" for this onicial
proclamation as to the early closing
hour at the Auditorium on minstrel
show night. Under ordinary con-
ditions no objection might be made
to the late arrival Of the tired busi-
ness man or to the incoming of the
proverbial man and the maid who
have been sparkling In the park
without the aid Of electric current,
bue this minstrel show II going to
start on time with clear field be-
cause certain things are going to
happen when the curtain rises
which require plenty Of room both
in the aisles and on the stage.
Surprises will follow In quick
succession during the Elks' Minstrel
Show. There will be surprises in
scenery, surprises in specialties. sur
prises in costumes, surprises In
singing and dancing and surprises in
vocal demonstraton-but the great
est surprise will smite those who
come late to the ceremonies. for they
won't get in. The gong rings at
S:15 and all patrons must be in
their seats then.
The seat sale has opened at the
Red Cross Pharmacy and there are
many indications that last seasons
record-breaking house will be dis
tanced.

GERMANS FAILED TO PRO-
TECT FOREIGN POSSESSIONS

Rotterdam, April German
newspapers expresse regret that
Germany did not more adequately
protect her foreign possessions so
that they could have become strong
coaling stations and centers for ma
val operations. The Tageszeitung,
commenting of the loss of the Dres-
den, says:
The final results have proved
that it is impossible to have power
on the ocean without strong points
of support on land. That our cruis-
crs were able to remain on the
oceans so long as they did was simp-
ly due to individual qualities. The
ou,y real success would have. been
it the sea trade of the enemy had
been so damaged as to cut off his
supplies. We ought to have known
these things beforehand, but our
foreign stations were very slack"
