"rRIANeLEs ARE GREAT"

The success of the first offering of the Triangle Company's films was assayed yesterday by the satisfac- tion expressed by all who saw "The Lamb" at the Royal Theater, and Bis bee movie fans may congratulate themselves that owing to the energy displayed by Manager Reeves in get ting the release of films of this fam ous company they will have oppOrtu- nifty in future to see the very best in motion picture work.
 "The story of The Lamb" is most expressing one. and the work of Miss Seena Owen and Douglas Fairbanks was something altogether out of the ordinary. Crowded houses at the Royal signified the appreciation of the many lovers of the silent rama in Bisbee, and congratulations are in order to Manager Reeves in this lat est evidence of his energy and up-to- date efforts in his particular line.

LEE RELTs CRITICIZED

DOVER, March 2S.- Some severe .chiticism of the life belts on the cross channel steamer Sussex and of the con duct of some Of the crew of the vessel was made yesterday by C. T. Crocker. an American survivor, at the inquest
 yer the bodies of two men and wom an who lost their lives as a result of the explosion which damaged the steamer.
 Mir. Crocker said that after the ex- plosion there seemed to be a panic but that it was soon quieted down. He saw people trying to put on life belts but that the tapes broke, the tapes ap- bearing to be rotten, he said. He put belts on two women and the same thing happened. After a time the crew brought out new life belts, which were better. The rotten ones were held in reserve on the boat.

A laxative to-day saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with
 waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour.
 Look at the tongue, Mother, If coated or your child is listless, cross, feverish. breath bad. restless. doesn't eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children's ailment, give a teaspoonful of California Syr- up of Figs" then don't worry. because it is perfectly harmless, and in few hours all this constipation poison, sour bile and fermenting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. A thorough inside cleansing" is of times all that is necessary. It should be the first treatment given in any sickness.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle of California Syrup of Figs" which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle Look carefully and see that it is made by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company"-Adyer- tisement.

BIG WAR FEATURE TODAY.

With all the lessons of the daySs news in their minds-with many | warnings to prepare them for a shock "a small. put far from unimportanI of the New York World last night passed from the light and joy of Broadway into the Hell of War
 It happened in the heart of Long Acre; in the theatre which is called the Vitagraph, says the New York American. This bills shows for two days at the Central.
 The bills announced The Battle Cry of Peace"
 Outside the theatre men were sell ing toys. Big bladders blown into the shape of Zeppelins. Child's bubbles made to look like colored bombs.
 The usual crowds strolled up and down the highway Signs blazed from countless restaurants and tango places. The newsboys yelled war headlines from the "Wuxtras." And all was as it had been for months past.
 We had grown used to hearing stories of the war. They had lost much, if not most, of their earlier horror And notwithstanding all that we had heard and read, there were still many in our midst who dreamt of peace, as if there were no war abroad.
 It was to throw the fear of God into the hearts of those who would or could not understand the need of national preparedness that the man. agement of the Vitagraph Theatre produced The Battle Cry of Peace" last night.
 To treat it as a moving picture play in the accustomed way would be to slight the deep meaning and intent of the event. There have been other film productions quite as gooG as this, viewed as mere drama.
 But this new venture of the Vita graph is more than that-a call to arms, a clear, national appeal. 3 prayer for help against those dull. blind fools who see but cannot read or understand the words of warning on the wall.
 As a prelude to the play itself which was sketched out by Stuart Blackton and made into pictures by his associate, Wilfrid North-Captain Jack Crawford, known to many as the Poet Scout" gave a brief lecture on the perils of unpreparedness in time of war By word and film, the man. agement. in passing, also paid grate- full tribute to Hudson Maxim, whose book, ''Defenseless America" inspired the production.

Chinese republic association here. The ultimatum demands five things. according to the cables:
 l. That Yuan Shi Kai resign at a fixed date and leave China. ?. That twelve traitors" (named) be tried and, if found guilty of con. spring against the republic, executed 3. That Yuan Shi Kai's property and the property of the twelve trait ors" be confiscated to indemnify the revolution.
 4. That Yuan Shi Kai's descend ents for three generations forfeit their rights of citizenship.
 ,. That the separate provinces be given control of army units and arsen- als.
 The ultimatum was telegraphed to Pekin by Tang Chi Yao, military gov ernor of the province of Yunnan, and head of the army of the revolution ists, it was stated.
 The names of the military governors of other five seceding provinces in the southeastern part of China, were sign ed to the ultimatum.
 I Article two of the demand, urging the trial of the twelve advisors of Yuan Shi Kai, commissioned, it was stated, to perfect the Monarchy re- gently abandoned by Yuan Shi Kai, enumerates the names of the advisors, who are referred to as traitors. The fifth article of the ultimatum demanding the provincial control of i the army conceded the retention of all cabinet ministers of the republic 1 in office.
 YUAN FACES CRISIS [ SHANGHAI, China, March 27.-Tang ] Shao Vi, China's special envoy to the United States in 1908, and President Yuan Shi Kai's first premier, in an in- terview today stated that he telegraph ' ed Yuan Shi Kai last November urg- ing him to "accede to the wishes of a { large majority of the people of China" and retire from the monarchy. He eX- pressed the opinion, in the interview, that the mandate cancelling the plan to restore the monarchical form of government had resulted in an accent uation Of popular feeling against Yuan
 Sbi Kai. He said the country was
 headed toward ruin unless he pro
 claims Li Yuen Heng president and announces that he will use his influ-
 ence 10 assist him to maintain order.
 Ii Yuen Heng is vice-president of

 that the situation in Canton is so

 pendence in the shortest order, while

SUSESX INCIDENT MAY
 INVOLVE AMERICA

Continued From Page one) retary Lansing soon after his ar rival.
 The discovery of a number of fragments of metal aboard the Sussex, including a large piece of bronze found by French naval officer, has been reported by Am bassadorS harpe at Paris.
 The French naval officer ac- cording to the State Department dispatches, says the piece of bronze is a part of a torpedo.
 So far as is known the State Department has not yet heard that any enc aboard the Sussex saw the periscope of q submarine, but statements to the effect that the wake of a torpedo was seen are understood to have been made. The state department, however, gathered from diplomatic and con- withheld much of the information sular officials, as confidential
 The department allowed it to become known tonight that regu- lar course of diplomatic proceed ure would be followed in the case of the Sussex and the English man.
 Much. it was said, probably de- pend upon the nature of a state ment the German government shortly will make. The state ment denies that a German sub marine was concerned and the burden of prof will rest upon the British authorities. If. however the facts are not deemed sufficient to satisfy this country that a Ger man submarine was responsible it is probable that the United States will have to accept the German view of the Sussex case.
 It was indicated at the State Department that further inves- tigations were being, or had been conducted although their nature was not disclosed. A dispatch. received by the State Department today. officially announced that no American lives had been lost on the Sussex. The message was from Ambassador Page at LOndOn, who said Ambassador Sharpe at Paris reported that all Americans aboard had been accounted for.
 Consul Armstrong reported last week that four Americans who were aboard the Englishman were not among the survivors who then had been landed. He added that the Englishman had been tOrpe- doed. but did not disclose the source of his information.

RAYMOND TEAL GETS GREAT HOUSE FIRST
 SHOWING IN BISBEE

At Raymond Teal Company's pre-
 sentation of Trip on the Derby last
 nightat the Orpheum Theater the same condition of affairs existd as during their recent performances at the Central Theater, every seat in the house being occupied before the rais-
 ing of the curtain.
 "A Tip on the Derby" besides being first class song show. has also the merit of being a good play, and in the capable hands of the Teal Company s cast provided an evening of the great est enjoyment to the large and appre- ciative house.
 Miss Madeline Rowe who makes a hit in every song she sings, was in her best form last night, and espec- ially effective was her rendering of the Tulip" song, the climax of which was accentuated by a novelty intro huced into the number by Raymond Teal in his only appearance during the evening. Miss Rowe also receiv- ed a great reception in the Gypsy Love Song"
 It would hardly be correct to say that Miss Hazel Lake added to her popularity, but it is certain that she added to her laurels last night both in her songs and character work, and by this time it is merely necessary for her to make her appearance on stage to receive a hand" that a less cap able artiste would work hard to get.
 Fritz Fields was at his very best as John Henry, and it was the opinion of many that Roy Winslow has not fA od r14 Un than in hi playing Of Diff Donovan. Miss Co., rinne Carkeek was eminently success ful in the role of Babe Deering, and Miss Pansy De La Cour, although to the regret Of her many admirers she was only heard in one number ''I Want to Be Somebody's Baby Girl scored a big hit out of the ordinary in that attractive ditty.
 Homer Longs singing was as agree able as always, and as the villain" of the piece filled his role most success fully. Claude Kelly was also good as Col Barristaw, while Art Phillips madethe most of his brief appear ances.
 An opening account of this perform ance would not be complete without q special reference to the work of the members of the chorus. It can clearly be seen that every member of this az gregation is a careful and conscien tious worker, the total result being of the most pleasing kind, while the and harmony evident in their work is one of the most pleasing elements of performance of which it may be said without exaggeratiOn that there is not flaw to be found in it.
 The musical director, Mr Ernest Wolff, deserves the greatest praise praise for his share, in the general success of the Teal Company's pro ductions, and musical connoisseurs are high in their praise or his accom- paniments, which are so great fac tor in the success of the musical num- bers delegated to his care.
 Tonight "A Tip on the Derby" will be repeated. Wednesday and Thurs day night "A Tip in Chinatown, Fri day and Saturday "On Gay Broadway" Sunday, "Follies of 1916," this latter being erhaps the greatest musical success of the current season.
