 To Miss Theda Bara star of the Theatre Antoni, Paris, falls the honor of creating for the moving picture public the role of the volatile Spanish heroine, and under the direction of R. A. Walsh, the noted producer, she has far surpassed her previous screen sue ceSSes.
 The story of the play is so well known as to require only the barest outline Carmen, the beautiful Span ish gypsy, spirit of coquetry incar- nate, lives but to conquer the hearts of men

16O-ACRE FARM THAT COST $2OO
 BRINGS $4OO,OOO

William Falconer, of Chicago, who was 100 years old few days ago, celebrated his birthday by turning over the deed to his 160-acre farm to new owners. It cost him $200 when ne bought it from the government at $1.25 an acre He gets for t f2,5Go an acre, or $4OO,OOO.
 William Falconer was born iE Scotland. In his young manhood he came to America. He came to Chi cago, which was a village. He wanted farm, so he went six miles out on the praire and defed the Indians. But he felt safe, for he had an old flintlock muSket that one of the soldiers of George III. carried.
 But people came, and subdivisions encroached and trains and uolleys and motor ears made q multitude of noises about. Last year electricians convinced the old man that oil lamps are archaic. They put in an "indi- rect" lighting system for him, and threw his lamps out.
 Some time ago men came .md tack ed a number, 5000, over his door. And sign post upon the corner said to the world that it was North Cicero avenue People said to him that this was Belmont Park Prosperous city persons shook the $4OOOOO under his nose.
 At last he yielded. So the land be homesteaded from the government in lS42 is sold again.

other survivors, numbering fourteen in all, who had been found half drowned and almost dead from ex- posture in a partially-wrecked boat that was just sinking. This was the boat in which Mrs. Hoy and her daughter lost their lives, and in which Cedric P. Ivatt of New York, who was the manager of the actress, died. 1t has not been ascertained here whether MT. Ivatt was an American citizen or q British subject.
 One of the survivors of this boat was Able-bodied Seaman Waller, who was transferred to the Laburnum.
 Boat Smashed
 "Our boat--No. S--was smashed in lowering" he said. "I was in the bow, Mrs. Hoy and her daughter were sitting toward the stern. The boat filled with water rapidly. It was no use trying to bail it out-there was a big hole in the side and it came in too fast. 1t just sunk to the waters edge and only stayed up on account of the tanks in it. It was completely awash. Every swell rode clear over us and we had to hold our breath until we came to the surface again. The cold water just takes the strength out of you.
 "The women got weaker and weak CT, then wave came and washed both of them out of the boat. There were life belts on their bodies and they floated away, but believe they were dead before they were washed over board"
 With such stories ringing in our ears, with exchanges of experiences pathetic and humorous, we came steaming into Queenstown harbor shortly after 10 o'clock at night. We pulled up at the dock lined with am balances and khaki-clad men, who directed the survivors to the various hotels about the town, where they are being quartered.
 The question being asked of us Americans on all sides is: "Is it the casus beli?"
