With three big headliners and two other high class vaudeville acts and eight reels of exclusive feature pictures, the bill at Loew's new Bijou for the first half of the opening week, commencing Monday, April Is. gives promise of some rare en- tertainment. Colonel Pattee and his old soldier fiddlers, is one of the most unique acts on the stage, and at this time with war talk the principal topic, the act of these old veterans of the civil war; with their wartime melodies and martial strains of the early sixties, Is particu- larly thrilling.
 A love story told in song is another big headliner with Camille Personi the celebrated French comic opera star, in the steller role. The act is beautifully staged and is named Butterfly Love- The third big headliner is Laurie Ordway a spritely comedienne who is one of the big hits in vaudeville, and soon will desert the stage to star on the screen.
 The other acts are the Gliding OMeara' S presenting the latest and best dances, and a musical comedy novelty by Fen- neil and Tyson. A feature photoplay with the well known screen star, Kitty Gordon. in the leading role, will be in- cluded in the bill.

Claims That German Sub- marine Attacked Vessel Off Coast of Cuba
 Four Days Ago

Key West, April 12.-The British ship Treveal, Captain Williamson, was sunk by German submarine off Cienfuegos, Cuba, four days ago, and all hands landed at the Cuban port a few hours later, according to c. Peterson, a member of the crew who arrived here from Havana late today Peterson claims to be nat uralized American of Norwegian birth.

 The submersible launched canvas boat Peterson said, and two officers and six armed men came aboard. Captain Will Hanson was told that Germans would take charge of the ship and the TreveaPs s crew was given 10 minutes to take to their boats.
 When the small boats had cleared the ship the German placed bombs forward and afterward destroyed the vessel. The crew of the Treveal was in their boats four hours before being picked up by tug and lowed to Cienfuegos.
 Once landed, Peterson asserted, the men were paid off and he went to Havana. He declared that the Cuban papers refused to publish an account or the sinking because it might do the country harm" He said he learned that the rest of the crew took passage for England aboard vessel belonging to the Haines Steamship company.

 In discussing the bill with the Senate committee, Secretary McAdoo expressed sympathy with a suggestion by Sena- tor Shoot that all the 5000 00,000 in bonds to be authorized in the bill should not be issued at once. It was suggested that the war might end within a few months and that it might be just as well to hold up part of the issue for several months.
 Mir McAdoo promised to give the com mittee specific information on plans for, raising revenue as soon as possible. The Secretary said he believed at least $1,6O0, 900 OoO could be raised through the taxes suggested in addition to the amounts now raised by taxation.
