Course for the present school
wear and all above actual ex2
nonses will be given for the bene-
fit Of the school.
Outside of the money value
tb;s will be a refining and educa-
t;onal benefit for the school and
the community. We hope every
one will boost it along by buying
season tickets and helping in any
way that comes to hand.
In this course there will be
four attractions in the Lyceum
Course proper and one by home
talent. This is a southern lyce-
nm circuit and the numbers
given will be especially fine and
suitable. Any number in the
course is worth the price of a
season ticket.
There are two quartets in the
number, The Tinnue Sisters and
the Meistersingers male Quar-
tette. Each of The Tinnue Sis
tiers is a talented musician, while
Miss Marguerite Emmelum is
also reader. Their program will
be made up of costumed trios,
quartets, vocal and instrumental
solos and readings, pianologues
and orchestra numbers. They
are young women of charming
address full of life and happiness.
Hear them and enjoy them.
The Meistersingers is a splen-
did and we'll known male quar-
tette which is out for it's eleventh
season. They have played and
sung their way into the hearts
and homes of many thousands.
Where ever they go they make a
great hit.
Clarence Burgderfer is the
funny man of the course. His
wit, readings and costume work
are OF a high order, while his
imitation of various animals
and noises are clever and intense
y funny. He is said to be a
thorough artist and sways his
audience at will. Those who
lall to hear him will miss a rare
treat.

Washington-The United States
announcing interference with neutral
mails, has notified Great Britain and
france that it can no longer tolerate
the wrongs which American citizens
nave suffered and continue to suffer
through the "lawless practice" those

This notification is given in the

the two governments, the text Of
which has just been made public by
the State Department. The time in
which the change must be effected
was not specified, but the United
States expects prompt action.
Serious and vexatious" abuses
perpetrated by the British and French
governments in seizing. and censoring
neutral mails are recited in the com.
munlcat1on and answers are made to
the legal arguments contained in the
reply Of the Entente governments to
]ect. 1t is vigorously set forth that
not only have American commercial
interests been injured, but that the
rights of property have been violated
ana the rules of international law and
custom palpably disregarded. Notice
Is served that the United States soon
Will press claims against the British
and French governments for losses

REJECTS PEACE RUMORS
SIR EDWARD GREY DECLARES
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS lMPos-
SiBLE AT PRESENT.
War Might Have Been Prevented by
Conference, But Position Of En-
tente Allies Has Changed.

London.-Sir Edward Grey, the
British foreign secretary, in speech
in the House Of Commons set aside
all ideas that peace negotiations were
possible at the present stage and
plainly reiterated that the position of
the Entente Allies was in no way
changed.
Sir Edward declared that 1t was
impossible to consider terms Of peace
without previous agreement between
the Allies. Further, he expressed the
decided opinion that the hositilities
had not yet reached stage where it
was possible to talk Of peace, especi.
ally as the German public was con.
stantly being "fed with lies" by their
ministers.
Mr.. Ponsonby's reference to the
use Of the American press as "plat
form" was the outgrowth Of a recent
interview with Sir Edward Grey. Sill
Edward in replying to this attack
while admitting that important dis
closures Of policy ought first to be
made to Parliament urged that crisis
might arise during the war when con,
siderations Of etiquette should not be
allowed to stand in the way. He con-
tended that since German statesmen
constantly were giving interviews and
statements to the American press it
would be mere pedantry which would
hinder British statesmen from coun-
tering these statements in the inter-
ests Of their own country.
