PROGRAMME FOR ELKS' MINISTRIES
 ID BE ANNOUNCED Feature of Opening Number Will Be Spanish Song and Dances by a Mixed
 Chorus of 50 Voices

Programme for the big EllIs minstrel entertainment. which will be given at the Jefferson theatre March 29 and 3o will be announced in the next few days, and it is understood it will be the most pre- tentious ever given by an amateur or ganization in the south. Some of the best known vocalists in the district are included in the company, and there are Comedians galore.
 A decided feature will be the opening number in which mixed chorus of % voices will sing Miss Daisy Rowley's beautiful song, Love, Love-" The chorus will wear Spanish costume and introduce Spanish dances. At the big rehearsal held last night many new song and feature acts were added, and Direc- tor Thomas Moxley has an abundance of high class song numbers and specialties from whic hto select bill of more than usual merit.
 General Manager Hugh Hill and the joint executive comittee of the Bir- mingham and Ensley lodges are giving valuable assistance in promoting the en- tertaininent, and all indications point to very successful show.

STATE DEPARTMENT ACTIVE

The department presented a scene of unusual activity with the many re turned diplomats who accompanied MT. Gerard reporting to their superiors. Some of them will be kept at the de- partment and others will be given new posts.
 While officials are extremely anxious to learn the personal opinions of men fresh from Germany, there is not the slightest disposition to feel that the in ternational situation can be affected in any way at this time. Germany IS believed to have shown herself in the series of sinsings such as the Laconis the Californian and many others, i'm cludng the steamship Algonquin, to- day sunk without warning, to be ut terly unmindful of the country's rights or its possible participation in the war.
 The arrival of Mr. Gerard revived reports that he would be candidate for mayor of New York next fall or that he would be sent to Tokio to succeed the late Ambassador Guthrie He would discuss none of these reports today further than to say that he was paying no attention to politics at this time.
 Regardless of whether he remains in the service of the government he ~un- donbtedly will come back here within a few days to amplify his reports. He may see the President tomorrow but more likely will wait until another trip here because it probably will be several days before the Presidents physician win consent to his receiving callers.

JAPAN PAYS HONOR EXTRAORDINARY ID
 LATE AMBASSADOR

Washington, March 14.-A long cable gram received at the state department today from Charge Wheeler at Tokio described the extraordinary honors paid the late Ambassador Guthrie by Japan.
 NO mark of honor. public or private, has been withheld in all these cere- monies,' said the charge, "and in this telegram I cannot adequately express the extreme consideration which the Japanese government, official and unof- ficial has shown in this sad event. The minister of foreign affairs, in com munication requesting me to tender my government in the name of the imperial government his sincere condolence, state:
 It gives me high qualification that since his exceilency came to this coun- try in 1913 to represent his country as it's ambassador, the friendly relations between the two countries have grown closer and firrner than ever.'"
 Mr. Wheeler reported the offer of the foreign minister, in testimony Ito the sentiments of sincere sympathy and at tachment. entertained by Japan towards the United States to convey the body of the ambassador home in a Japanese warship. This tender has been accepted and in accordance with the request of Japan the warship will be exempted from strict application of the neutrality laws, limiting the stay of belligerent warships in American ports and restricting their provisioning.
 Following the precedent established in the case of the funeral of the late Ameri- can Ambassador Whitlaw Reid, the state department will take charge of the cere- monies preceding the funeral of the late Ambassador Guthrie, who died in Tokio last Thursday.
 An American naval officer will receive the commander of the Japanese cruiser, which will bring the body to San Fran cisco. The state department will be rep resented by an official and special train of two cars will be provided by the government to convey the funeral party, including some of the members of the late ambassadors family from San Fran cisco to Pittsburs, where it is under stood the municipality will conduct the funeral.

China's severance of relations has been expected here for weeks. The action of the United States in break ing relations was received with ac- claim by Chinese officials and press.
 Feeling against Germany has run high, not only because scores of Chinese on the way to Europe have been killed in German submarine operations. but from memory of the Kaiser's order to his boxer punitive force to make the word German dreaded in China for a century, and the seizure by Germany of the whole province of Shantung for the murder of two mis- sionaries.
