ing sent home.
The plans of the government to
handle the new situation still are In
definite. Up to the present there has
been a difference of opinion between
tn secretary of state and the attorney
general over the demand of the Ger.
man ambassador that all of the decu.
ments seized be turned back to the
embassy as official documents and
thus not subject to seizure. Secretary
Lansing ordered that the papers be
turned back. The department of JUS
tice asked whether this applied to all
papers.
The state department said no. only
to official papers. Then the depart
ment of Justice asked the state de.
partment to have the German embassy
indicate which actually were the offic-
ial papers. Seeing the open trap the
embassy declined to inspect any OF
the documents, taking the broad
ground that all were the property Of
the embassy. The president, Secre-
tary Lansing and Attorney General
i Gregory now must determine what the
next step will be.

MONDAY.

Fiction has given us character that
never fails to interest US, although
our better nature knows that his call
ing is one not to be desired. This
character is none other than the pol
ished. suaVe, gentlemanly gambler,
who fleeces his innocent victims in
such finished manner that our smy-
pathies are almost wholly with him
instead OF with his gullible prey. Such
a gambler is the protaganist in the
modern drama, THE Fifth Ace" in
which Alice Lake appears at the The
atOrium Monday.

DAY.

The bitter conflict between the north
and south to preserve the union has
been preserved in fiction and drama,
but the manner in which the tale,
Suppressed ORDERS" appearing at the
Theatorium Monday, will hold the
closest attention and arouse the sweet
est memories which have slept since
the Civil war. The plot is unique,
and the daughter of the south is not
in love with the northern soldier The
scenes are laid in Virginia commun-
ity, loyal to the Confederacy, and
treats of the exploits of the Bradford
raiders, band of intrepid soldiers
who carried on a guerilla warfare.

While the British pushed forward

The French still hold a part of the

the French War Office announced that
General Fochs troops had reached the
southern slopes of Hill l09, an import

progress is reported in this region

Amsterdam. Holland, Aug. 11.-An
Austrian semi official account of the
sinking by submarine recently of the
Italian mail steamship Letimbro, re-

After the submarine had fired a

opened fire from two guns at the
stern and attempted to escape by zig.
tagging. The submarine pursued the
steamship, replying to the fire without
hitting the vessel which had shown
no flag.
Later, boats were lowered from
the steamer. After ascertalning that
no one remained on board, the steam
ship was sunk by the submarine.
