Vessel Lyman NJ. Law

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Austria has
officially denied one of her subma-
rines sank the American schooner Ly-
man NJ. Law, Ambassador Penfield at
Vienna cabled the state department
today.
1t had been presumed that the Law
was destroyed by an Austrian sub
marine because she was halted on
her way to Palermo, Italy. in a re-
gion where it was thought there were
no German U-boats. The submarine
showed no marks of identity and it
now is assumed that she must have
been German or possibly Turkish.
Ambassador Penfield, at Vienna
cabled a report today in response to
inquiries from Secretary Lansing. The
Law was sunk, according to official
dispatches, by bomb after its crew
had been under shell fire President
Wilson in his address to congress
characterized the destruction of the
Law as disclosing a ruthlessness
which deserves grave condemnation
and what might have been expected.

drst opportunity to do a community
good turn when the New Mexico State
Education association met for its an

Hotel accommodations were limited
and many of the visiting teachers had

scouts served as guides, one riding on
the running board of each automobile
and helping the teachers with their
luggage.
No tips were taken, although many
were offered. The work of the scouts
made great hit with the town as well

Dear Mayor Shannon:
At the close of the wonderfully
successful campaign of the Red Cross
War Fund intended. in behalf OF
the War Council, to send you and
your associates, a telegram OF
thanks and congratulation for your
splendidly effective work. On reflec-
ton, however, l decided in view of
the nation wide extent of our organ
ization. that it would be more econo-
mical, and equally satisfactory, to
write to you instead Of telegraphing.
We of the War Council are deep
~ grateful to you, to your collea-
CUES, to the devoted men !, and wo-
men of local Red Cross Chapters
and Auxiliaries, and to every ele-
ment and individual in your COM
munity who aided by service and
contribution.
There is no method by which we.
can reach the legion of individuals,
organizations, churchts, newspapers,
societies, banks, companies and
firms whose united effort has provi-
ded this great fund for humanity,
and if through your press and by
other means you can make public ex-
preston of our gratitude we shall
deeply appreciate the courtesy.
Their joint accomplishment has stir
red the pride of every American.
I wish to add my personal thanks
to you, and through you, to all who
contributed to the splendid results.

OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT

Sessue Hayawaka, the noted Jap.
anese actor, will be seen in one OF
the most unusual photodramatic pro-
auctions ever presented on the
screen, an adoption of Robert Louis
Stevenson's famous Hawaiian story,
"The Bottle Imp"
The story has to do with the ad-
ventures of poor fisherman,
Lopaka, who seeks a girl of royal
blood as his wife. The Bottle grants
every wish but yet has a terrible
menace. The entire story is filled
with unusual and startling incidents.
The majority Of the scenes were ia
ken in the same localities about
which the story was laid, the Lasky
Company sending the star and his
company to Hawaii for that pur-
pose.
Mr.. Hayakawa had thrilling bat
tie on the top Of cliff, where he
falls into the water and continues
the conflict under the surface, all
of which was easily photographed in
the clear Hawaiian waters.
The company secured the volcanic
scenes by descending deep into the
crater Of Kilauea, and were nearly
overcome by the sulphuric gases.
With the exception of Guy Oliver
who plays the role of the drunken
sailor, the entire company is COM
posed of either japanese or Ha-
waiian players.
