The Levi Mercantile Company, the

All of the merchandise was practical

experienced management Of the great
John Robinson's Ten Big Shows long
since remedied this evil.
A circus program is made up of
what is termed as displays" A dis
play is a series Of acts given simultan-
eously in the rings, on the elevated
stages, in the air and on the hippo
drome. Instead Of the display being
composed of several diverse acts. as,
is often the case in ~circuses, John
R~obinson's Ten Big Shows displays
are made up of acts of the same
kind. For instance. if n male or fe-
male equestrian act is h~eine-gipen in
ring No. 1, the very same kind of fea-
ture will be found in the other rings.
If a group of a~erialists appear at one
end of the dome of the great tent,
another group will be presented at the
opposite end. Thus it is possible for
the spectators at one extremity of the
canvas to see practically the same
performance that the people in the
far end witness. Advance sale of

LANSING TO GET FACTS

Long Branch, n. j.. Oct. 31.-
After receiving unofficial information
that six Americans had lost their
lives by the sinking of the British
steamship Marina, President Wilson
communicated with Secretary Lam
sing tonight and directed that all
possible haste be taken in obtaining
the facts concerning the sinking of
the vessel.
Secretary Lansing informed the
president that in addition to asking
the American embassy in London for
information. informal inquiries had
been sent to the German government.
While 1t vas made clear here that
no action would be taken pending the
collection Of all the facts, 1t was IN
dicated that the view as taken that
the situation contained grave possi-
oilities.
Secretary Lansing stated that he
not in possession of SUFFICIENT
Facts on which to base a judgment Of
The case. While preliminary reports
have indicated that the Marina was
sunk without warning, additional I'M
formation on that point is desired.

VIRGINIA IN DRY COLUMN.
OLD DOMINION NOW IN RANKS
OF PROHIBITION STATES,
Drastic Law Causing Eight Hundred
Saloons to Close Becomes Effective
First Of NOvember-Is Eighteenth
State to Become Dry.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 31.-Virginia,
the 18th State to ban the sale of in
toXicating beverages, entered the pro-
hibition lists at midnight tonight, COM
pleting a dry area in the South reach
ing from Washington to Jacksonville
on the east and from Washing
ton to New Orleans on the west.
Although a large part Of the Old
dominion previously had been voted
dry in local option elections, the new
State law had the effect Of cios;n.
more than 500 saloons. mostly in
Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News,
L%ynchburg, Petersburg, Roanoke and
Bristol.
The law is said to be one Of the
most drastic ever passed by a State
legislature. Under the measure no
beverage except cider can he sold that
shows q trace Of alcohol, and pos
session Of more than one gallon OF
whishey, il gallon of wine or three
gallons Of beer would be regarded IS
prima facic evidence of intent to vio-
late it. This provision probably will
receive an early test in court, vast
quantities Of liquor having been stored
in private homes during the past few
days by those wishing to guard against
the dry future.
Along with the prohibition measure
and to insure it's enforcement, tho
legislature passed q bill which pro-
vides that custer proceedings may be
brought against State or municipal
authorities who show a laxity in put
ting it or any other measure into
effect. In addition, a commissioner
was provided to see that the law is
observed.
Many Of the saloons had closed dur
ing the past few days because theil
stocks were exhausted, but the lives
Of those remaining tonight were usher
ed out to the chimes of ringing church
peiiS ana the shouting n singing Of
enthusiastic prohibition workers who
held jolificatiOn meetings and watch
patries in almost every part OF the
State.

Washington. Oct. 81.-Germany has
been asked to furnish the Unixed
States any information the imp6rtal
government may have concerningStiic
sinking by submarines Of the Btxtish
8; Marina and Rowanruoie.
The request was forwarded, it became
known tonight, through the AmarLcan
embassy at Berlin.
1t is understood the state debart-
ment took this step without waiting
for full reports from British sources
and survivors of the ships because It
was considered desirable to assemble
at the earliest possible moment sinfor-
nation particularly regarding the Ma
rina, on which several American horse
tenders apparently lost their lives The
request is informal a j is intended In
no sense as an intimatiOn that Ger
mar submarines have violateds inter-
national law or tho pledges OF thetGer-
man government to the United States.
While the Marina is the first vessel
on which American lives have becn
lost in the war zone since the dEus-
Sex, and all reports SO Tar havee atd
she was attacked without warning.
there was no evident tension over the
case today In government circles OF
fciais continued to be optimisticS ap-
parently In the belief that finei &C.
counts would show that the steamer
lost her immunity as a merchantmen
by flight or by attempting a c~oup*er-
attack. AS to the Rowanmore, which
admittedly sought desperately to ,es-
cape there seemed to be but one point
to clear up-whether the submarine
actually fired upon boats leaving Sxhe
ship as alleged by survivors.
Practically no information about
either case was given out during the
day. Secretary Lansing. who Is
handling the situation personality de-
clined to say anything other than
