MANY SHRINERS WILL
GO TO CUBA

st. Petersburg, Nov. 13 3.-Mem-
bers of the St. Petersburg Shriners
Association will likely go with the
party being made up to leave Tampa,
| Nov. rs, for Cuba. James H. Wat
son, one of the most active members
of the association, last night stated
that while the association had taken
no action on the proposed trip, that
he believed that at least party of
half dozen would go from here. In
view of the fact that there is always
large number of visiting Shriners
here during the winter it is likely
that many will take the trip on ac-
count of the opportunity afforded for
seeing some of the sights in Cuba as
well as attending an important meet
ing of Shriners. The Tampa Tines of
Saturday has the following regard
ing the trip:
For the first time the Shrine will
be conferred ON foreign soil by mem
bers of lodges from this country. Mo-
rocco temple, composed of the Tam
pa and Jacksonville Shriners, will
journey to Havana, Nov 2S, where
they will be Joined by members of

been granted through special dispen-
sation from Imperial Potentate Hen
ry F. Neidringhaus, of St Louis. II
lustrious Potentate Harry Roberts, of
Tampa, has made complete arrange
ments for the pilgrimage and fully
100 Shriners are expected to go over
to Cuba
Both Tampa and Jacksonville

London, Nov. 13.-The announce.
ment from London that the British
had opened an attack on both sides
or the Ancre river, in northern
France. indicated possibility that
an important new offensive had be-
gun. The Ancre river is the approx
innate southern boundary of the sa-

entente offensive. Broadly speaking
the salient extended about eighteen
miles northward to Arras, but the Of
fetal statement does not make plain
whether the operation covered the
entire breadth or was merely an at
tempt to crush the southern sector.
Berlin announced that the German
artillery yesterday broke up the en-
tente efforts on the Somme front. It
is said that French attempts to ad-
vance in Alsace failed. The Germans
claim to have captured three towns
from the Rumanians, on the TransyI-
Vahian front, together with more
than a thousand prisoners.
Bucharest reported that the Ru-
manians held the ground northeast
