BATTLE on LAKE TANGANYIKA.

BATTLE ON LAKE TANGANYIKA.
IT was a naval battle. virtually a
naval campaign, that in the final
analysis secured TO the British
South African forces the ascendancy
in German East Africa
Lake Tanganyika, one of the Afri-
can great lakes, lies in position
which offers the opportunity of
thanking the German East African
colonies Similarly, while the Ger
mans hold control of the water, they
would be enabled to flank any ad-
vancing British invaders.
The situation on the lake was an
alogous to that of the conquest OF
Lake Erie by the American Commo-
dore Perry. who. with a raw force
of men. conjured from the virgin
forests. a fleet, and conquered a first
class enemy squadron.

Miss Dorathea Antel will have a role some what like Peggy O'Moore, which de- lightfu1 characterization is pleasantly remembered and Philip will interpret the role of "Old Nose" a splendid type of the loyal "befo' de war; darky. Miss Perry as "Elizabeth." the naughty cousin, and Ralph Murphy as Jerry" her more democratic brother, are very we'll cast. All other members of the company will also be seen to advantage and MT.
