ACTIVITY, CLAIMED
German Paper Charges AL
lied Merchantmen Are
Armed-NOthing Re-
mains But Warfare

Berlin, October 17.-(Via London Octo-
Der 49, Delayed. 1.-The Kriegs Zeitung, the
evening edition of the Lokal Anzeiger
publishes a report THAI the British have
ordered the arning of all merchantmen,
and says that as result Germany may
be forced to take up a sharper submarine
campaign, with consequent enlargement
of German-American relations. 1t con-
tinues:
IF it is true that England actually in
tends to arm all its merchantmen with
heavy, and, therefore, far-carrying guns,
and thus label them plainly as warships
intended for attack, it cannot be avoided
that whether we wish to or not, we must
give sharper tendency to our submarine
campaign.
1--WE wonder whether it is not Eng
lands precise intention" the Kriegs lei
tung continues, ito bring US into diff
culties with other powers, particularly
America, by it's new measures. Americas
answer regarding the admissibility of
submarines to neutral harbors and wa
tiers was, of course, to be expected. Amer
lea, which in the future, intends to give
wide play to the submarines in its own
navy, could not possibly tie its hands
by establishing important presidents.
whether the United States, with its
conception of submarine warfare would
adopt any other conception and in case
of intensification of our naval warfare
with England, would relax its principles,
is an open question. 1t is probable, how
ever, that if we desire to adapt our
method of warfare to the situation Gre
ated by the army of British merchant
men we shall have to go over carefully
with the government of che United States
all the possibilities of the newly created
situation For we may accept this much
as now certain: Aside from a few jingoes
and shouters who would involve America
in the war at any price, the American
people would dislike most greatly to have
the submarine question lead to a new
dispute between Germany and America"

At the Biiou

broadway After Dark" an emphatic
play, an urgent plea to humanity to aid
the victim of circumstances, is proving
a great attraction at the Bijou this week.
The theme deals with an innocent girl,
fresh from the influence of good moth
err, who comes to the city and falls into
the clutches of disreputable characters.
She becomes hardened to the life which
she is compelled to lead and the environ
ment dwarfs her better self. The big
moment in her life presents itself when
she meets a good man who loves her
honestly She attempts to redeem her
past but many obstacles are placed in
her path by her former associates. In
the end, however, She triumphs and the
play has a happy ending.

At the Lyric

BY far the best bill of the season is
the offering at the Lyric for the sec
ond half of the week and while every
act is pleasing the Hawaiian speciality,
1.-THE Garden of Aloha is easily the
top liner. 1t is not too much to say
that it is one of the best acts ever pre-
scented on the local vaudeville stage and
the large attendance at all three per-
formances yesterday testified to the fact
that local theatregoers appreciate the
best in vaudeville and familiar with acts
that are good.
The Hawaiian setting, singing and mu-
sic was of the highest order, but the
honors went easily to Miss Pauline

ed the native dances with rare grace
and abandon. Pete Kara, as the lieuten-
ant was excellent, while the Hawaiian
musicians and singers added greatly to
the act.
George NJ Rosener in character roles
proved a finished artist, presenting wide
1y different types with master hand,
of which the "old veteran brought forth
most generous applause.
Jones and sylvester in an episode of
CITY life, THE Huckster and the Ham,
were enjoyable. Both have good voices,
their lines are witty and the corpulence
of Jones was used to advantage.
Raymond Wilbert proved veritable
wizard with the hoops. His act was
much above the ordinary juggling act
and was well received.

If you are too fat and want to,
reduce your weight Is or 20
pounds, don't starve and weaken
your system. or think you must
always be laughed at on account
of your fat, but go to Eugene
Jacobs Drug Store, or any good
druggist, and get a box OF Oil
of Korein capsules, take enc after
each meal and one before retiring
at night.
Weigh yourself once a week and
note what pleasant and reliable
method this is for removing SUI
perfluous fat from any part OF the
body.
1t costs little, is absolutely
harmless and weeks trial

CONVICTIONS IN
BLACKMA|L CASES
UPHELD BY COURT
Another Decision Handed
Down Was That AutOmO-
bile Licenses Are Not
Transferable

Montgomery, October 9.-(Special DE
cisions handed down today by the SUI
preme court set at rest the question of
whether state automobile licenses are
transferable, and finally affirmed judg-
ments of conviction lodged against J..
T. Howle and Jerome S. Brown in Biz
mingharn for blackmail. A total of 10
decisions were put out, all being on APP
plications for writs of certiorari seek
ing a review by the higher court of de-
cisions rendered by the court of appeals.
In every case the writ was denied.
The supreme tribunal affirmed the find
ings of the appellate court in holding that
the sale of an automobile does not carry
with it the license held by the seller.
The purchaser of an automobile must buy
a new automobile license, regardless of
whether the former owner had secured
a license from the state. The case origi-
mated in Butler county, where L. French
owned a Ford car, for which he bought
an auto license October 1. 1915, for that
fiscal year. Afterwards French sold the
car to W. E. Foshee. The state demand
ed that Foshee take out an additional
license of $3.50 for the current year, but
Foshee declined to pay the tax, and the
state entered suit for the recovery of
the sum. The case was carried up on
an agreed statement of facts to obtain
a test of the law.
The decision of the circuit court Of
Butler, giving judgment to the state, was
affirmed by the court of appeals, Judge
John Pelham writing the opinion.

consent judgment in the amount of
$3.50 was rendered in the case of Rufus
Smith vs. the Woodward Iron company.
The plaintiff was seeking damages for
the alleged injuries received while at
work for the defendant company.
