SURVIVORS OF ANTILLES
LANDED AT FRENCH PORT

a FRENCH PORT. October 2I.-Sur-
vivors OF the United States transport
Antilles. which was sunk by German
submarine last week while bcinE con-
voycd on her homeward trip by Amer
icen warships. were landed here to-
day by auxiliary vessels and are be-
ing cared for by the American con-
sulate. Some of the men have been
lodged In local hotels and few have
left for Paris.
The torpedo struck the ship ut s:45
o'clock Wednesday morning. Many OF
those on board were killed In their
berths and others while dressing. The
and mechanics and those OF the crew
who were in the hunks below.
All the survivors praise the captain
of the Antilles and the members OF
the gun crew, who stuck to their posts
while the of1icers searched with field
glasses tor the submarine until the
waves closed over the ship.
When the Antilles sank. forty or
fifty men were at the stern. Most OF
them leaped fifty faet or more into
tho sea ns the stern rose to q per-
pcndicular position and some were
drawn down by the suction Of the
sinking vessel.
The submarine was not sighted either
before or fter the explosions The
sea was running high at the time,
making IL difficult to save the crew
and passengers. Some survivors. cling
ing to debris, were in the water an
hour before they were sighted by the
lifeboats.

palace at Tobolsk, which is a large
house without modern improvements,
built in the eighteenth century for a

all precautions to prevent unwelcome
visitors are taken. II is impossible to
get on the island without a pass and
it is almost impossible to get pass.
There are fifty-four pickets on duty
at night and the radio station is
doubly guarded.
There are large number of Fill.

altogether there are over 1900 boys

MIRAGE LURES VESSEL
TO HER DESTRUCTION

sA NFRANCISCo. March "a mir.
age lured the American schooner
Kona, of this city,to its destruction
on Kangaroo Island, south of Aus
tralia, early in February, according to
cablegram received from Captain A.
Hansen, master of the craft.
A shore line sometimes visable and
sometimes invisible: hcadlands that
retreated and advanced, remaining
apparently the same distance from
the ship, no matter which way she
turned, destroyed the calculations of
navigation and finally landed be-
wildered captain and crew ashore.
Captain Hansens statement is am
plided by report received by the
United States photographic office
from the schooner w. ii. Marston. of
San Francisco, which saw the same
mirage and narrowly escaped the
same fate.
The Kona was passing through In.
vestigator Strait and the Gulf of St.
Vincent on her way to Adelaide, Aus.
trial. The straight, more than 100
miles wide, runs north and south.
Captain Hansen sailed eight miles
of the west shore during the first
night, but at dawn he was surprised
to see not only the western, but also
the eastern shoreline. The latter ap.
peared eight miles to starboard. Here
was a strait 100 miles wide that
appeared sixteen. Captain Hansen
and his mates decided they were vic.
tins of an optical illusion SO they
sailed in n wide sigzag and the east
ern short was always Just on the
horizon while the western shore be.
hnved as normally, disappearing and
reappearing as the ship altered its
course. So the navigators decided
that the easterly land was mirage.

WONDERFUL PLAY
AT BRADLEY TONIGHT

The incompatible Theda Bara will
appear in the stellar role of the film
play, Her Double Life" which will
DE shown at the Bradley theater to-
night. This play will be especially
entertaining TO men as II will give
them view point on the female of
the species" that few of them have
ever noticed. They play is laid on a
foundation of romance in which de.
ceit and love fight for supremacy. And
there is also a question that every
woman can ask herself As a won.
an. would you renounce the man you
love? If you gain his love through
fraud, and he forgives you after the
truth appears, would you marry him?
Thisc is the situation that confronts
Theda Bara in her new William Fox
Dhotoplay, Her Double Life" This
is thrilling story of woman's de-
ception. She takes another's name.
goes to the guardian of another. and
makes use of the wealth and social
position due to another.
Then the other appears, and her
castle of dreams, founded on deceit,
falls into ruins
This picture is one of the best of
the late Fox productions and holds
the audience in spell bound wonder
until the end of the play. There Is
not a dull or embarrassing moment
from the first click of the reel until
the spot light flickers out. And Theda
Bara performs the part in matchless
form.--Adv.
