The City of Puebla
Is out upon the sea,
And all my heart is with her
Wherever she may be;
And so are all the crew,
Her cargo il is contraband-
She's Yankee thru and thru.
She cares not for the Kaiser
Or for the Kaiser's spleen,
She fears not hidden dangers,
From mine or submarine,
Her Captain is American
And so are all the crew.
And Yankee courage always wins
She's bound to make it thru.
The Kaiser William took his map
And drew a little line
said he unto his fawning slaves
"That Ocean sure is mine"
Said he, "All neutral vessels now
When sailing on my sea,
Will have to show to my police

Received his message with "a sneer
And scornfuly they laughed
"Who is this tyrant who has dared

To free-bOrn Yankee men?"

REAL CABARET LIFE
IN "EXPERIENCE"

Cabaret life. as seen in the larger
cities. is vividly shown in the Golden
Cabaret act on the Primrose Path TO
Pleasure in Experience" In this act
there are at the various tables in the
cabaret. dining and quietly chatting,
such fascinating women as Fashion
Beauty. Excitement, Song. SANDER, De
ceit and Frivolity. and with them are
their escorts, typical men who frequent
the cabaret. especially where there Is
dancing. They are Sport, style, Snob
Conceit. BluebloOd. Travel and Driyel
To look al these gay and festive diners,
one would think that they were simply
intent on eating and chatting.
But the moment the orchestra strikes
u7 a oue-step all is changed. Knives
and forks are hurriedly dropped, ana
the women and their escorts get up
and dance. For this Is the realm OF en-
ioyment where Pleasure is ever the
-eiEning queen and in this scene the
famous battle Of the bottle and the
bird is waged. Drivel describes it best
5y saying: Here is whore the wine
IS always perfect and the birds just
melt in your mouth while everest
less Excitement says Here's where we
have an ever glorious time
The music in the Golden Cabaret in
'Experience," is typical Of the sort one
finds in such places and Sport. one OF
the characters in the play, replying
TO a question by Song, What shall
sing?-something classical?" says, 'clas-
sical nothing-sins something We can
move our feet TO. When you are out
on the Primrose Path Of Pleasure. you
don't want any music that gives you
time TO think. You know that classical
stuff is all right on the pianola. be-
cause you can get UP and leave the
room. but for me-something with pep
in it-something with little ginger be-
hind it, Ny brain is all wrapped up in
dancing and l don't want TO take the
cover off"
Experience" comes TO the Palace to-
night.

TEUTON SEA LOSSES
CALLED NEGLIGIBLE

Berlin, June 27.-Under the caption
Submarine Warfare and War Costs
the North German Gazette prints the
following:
'Jn none of the warning countries
has the question of war costs attracted
that degree of attention one was pre-.
viously led to believe it would.
"The entrance of the United States
into the war is accounted for in no
small degree by the circumstances
that they long since became the credi.
tors of our enemies, whose bankruptcy
they saw approaching and desired to
avert as far as possible.
"In connection with the participa-
tion in the war of the United States
and their farreaching shipbuilding
plans it is especially desirable to prof.
ect the question of the costs of sub.
marine warfare into public discussion.
How do the material losses of our enc
mics compare with those we are suf-
fering? The answer is quite plain.
"Oftsetting the monstrous values
which the entente powers are losing
daily in ships and cargoes, foremost
of which are those of England, not to
mention the cost of meeting the sub.
marine war, our losses are almost in
finitesimal. They consist only in U.
boats and munitions"

TRYING TO SECURE CAMP
Secretary Of War; Receives Twin City
Delegation.

Washington, June 27.- Newton D.
Baker, secretary of war, granted a
hearing to the Twin City delegation
which came to Washington to land the
national army cantonment for Fort
Smelling in case Des Moines is re-
jected.
The delegation was Informed that
the whole question is in the hands of
Major General Thomas H. Barry Of the
Central department, vino was at
Des Moines investigating complaints
against the transportation and sani-
tary facilities at Des Moines.
If he rules against Des Moines, Sec
retary Baker said the whole subject
will be reopened.
He said the liquor question would
not be a material factor, as the army
bin gives the secretary of war full au-
thority over that subject, and in addi-
tfon congress is expected to enact
bone dry legislation for the period of
the war.
