A SUGGESTION Worth While.

had become an eyesore On either

Hang the 1T agent tilat doesn't
know enough to keep his property

doctor.
A neighbor dared the doctor to re-
form the appearance OF the vacant
place. and the doctor did. He cut the
grass and a few days later the house,
which aad been vacant for weeks, was
rented. Now the exponent of civic
pride is wondering whether the rental
agent appreciates the fact that a well
trimmed law. is an attraction and that
if the grass had not been cut the
house might ave remained idle all
summer.

Rica, Honduras and Salvador, which had
protested against the proposed require
ment.

GERMAN SEA ORDER
DECLARED ILLEGAL
United States Has Notified All American
Diplomats and Consular Agents Abroad
That Merchantmen Have Right
to Carry Guns.

Washington, d. c., Feb. l9.-Ah Amer
lean diplomatic and consular officials
abroad have been notified in circular
ment that the position of the United
States is that merchant ships have a
right to carry defensive armament.
This move, which became known yes.
terday, is the first formal announcement
that the United States does not accept
as legal the announced intention of Ger
many and Austria to sink armed mer-
chant ships without warning after Feb.
20 as coming within international law.
1t is thought certain that the question
of defining defensive armament will be
the basis of lengthy negotiations with
the central powers beginning when the
reply is received to the message outlin-
ing the views of the United States which
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, has sent his government. The
response is not expected before the last
of next week.
1t was stated in German circles 1tst
night that evidence in their possession
led to the conclusion that all British
merchant ships, with the possible excep-
tion of those in trans Atlantic trade,
had instructions to resist capture. 1t
was pointed out that the Clan MacTav-
ish, sunk by the raider Moewe, the cap
tor of the liner Appam had fought with
her guns until she went down.
1t also was declared that aboard the
Appam was found document containing
additions to the original confidential In
struetion ito all British born sea cap
tains" and setting forth that "any sub
marine approaching merchant vessel
may be treated as hostile"

MIRTH-PROVOKING
KITTY" ARRIVED
Spaulding Senior Class Thespians Put
On a Splendid Presentation and Won
Plaudits of Large Crowd.

The 1916 class of Spaulding high school
had the honor Of putting on the first SEN
ior class play in the new assembly hall
| in the Spaulding annex when they staged
the three act farce comedy, "The Arrival
of Kitty" last evening. The production
was staged in regular big theatre style
with a darkened hall and glaring foot
lights and the high school orchestra,
which furnished the music, did its part
to produce the opera house effect. Near
ly every seat in the body of the hall was
filled and several in the balcony, The
leading man, or lady, according to the
act in which he appeared, even gave the
customary curtain speech in which he in
formed the audience that the same com
pany would fill another engagement in
the same hall Monday evening with a
repetition OF the performance.
To those who did not witness the play
last night ii may be said without res
ervation that If they wish to be enter
tanned they cannot afford to miss the
repetition. If they do not desire to
laugh, however, they are strongly ad-
vised not to attend. for the play Is
mirth-proyoking one from the raising Of
the curtain until the end.
Two college boys, one Of them terribly
affected with that form OF insanity called
"love," coupled with a complicated case
Of mistaken identity, combine to make a
plot which is full OF ludicrous situations
and clever dialogue. Winnifred Smith
in his character OF "Bobbie Baxter" won
the applause of the audience many times
with his manly troubles in attempting
to pose as a lady; Miss Rule Angel has
before exhibited her skill in the charac- |
ter of "IRaiden lady" but easily out |
did her former efforts in her role of |
Aunt Jane; Edmund Loranger was |
scream in his portrayal of greedy coll |
ored porter; while Cyril Marion acted |
he part of the sporty but hypocritical
Uncle William" in highly creditable
manner. Others of the caste were equal
Y good. In fact it was hardly possible
% pick the stars, for there was no one in
he play who failed to please.
The play was staged under the diree
ion of Miss Eva Smith of the high
chool faculty and spoke for itself as
violence of her ability. The caste was
IS follows; Sam, the colored porter, Ed
nund F. Loranger; Ting, bellboy, Wal
