 George Ebner will be seen in his original role of John Trouble. and. as MT Ebner is considered one of the best "Rube" characters on the musical comedy stage. and will offer singing and dancing 'rube' number. highly satisfactory performance can be looked for from this clever comedian.
 Mindel Kingston. whose singing has already captivated Coliseum patrons, will render a program of high class seiec- tions. while Bessie Hill the charming soubrette of the company will be seen in character entirely unexpected of her that of "blacls-face" role. and according to newspaper clippings. she can be counted on as one of the hits of the bill
 Marjory Shaw will make her initial appearance. locally. in an ingenue part and will have opportunity to show Ju- neau theatre -goers what she really looks like. as. unfortunately this dainty little actress was cast for character roles in the first two bills.
 Never Again" is far above the or dinary farce and is replete with ludic- rous situations and witty dialogue.
 My Baby" will be presented for the last time tonight. and those who have missed this domestic farce should take advantage of tonight's opportunity.

Cincinnati sent one of its scouts
to Toledo last fall to sign an amateur
rightfielder, a member Of the Rail
Light team, for a trial with the Reds.
Either the collector didn't know
the regular rightfelder's name was
Schaeffer, or he forgot about it, and
when he arrived at Toledo he
watched a game, saw fielder and
offered him chance for trial The
fielder he secured was Nietzke, a
substitute, who was playing in
Schaeffer's place that day. ~
Neither the scout nor the Cincin-
natl management found out for
months just what they missed.
Nietzke played in eight games last,
season and didn't make hit.
Schaeffer took part in II games,
was at bat 80 times and collected II
hits for an average Of .4S6. His hits
included four home runs, three tri-
pies, a brace of doubles and he had
seven stolen bases.

WILL ASK RETRIAL
OF THOMAS mooney

SAN FRANCISCO, July ga
demand for the immediate retrial
of Thomas Mooney on charge OF
murder in connection with the
preparedness parade dynamitins
will be made at once by his at
torneys as the result of acquittal
of his wife, Mrs. Rena Mooney, of
a similar charge yesterday.
Chief Defense Attorney Maxwell
McNutt made this statement today,
declaring the failure of the state
case had demonstrated the futiity
of further effort to connect Moon
ey with the outrage which killed
10 persons and injured 40 on July
%, 1916.
Mrs. Mooney made preparations
today to leave the Jail cell which
she had occupied for year.
"In the face of this verdict,
she said, 81 do not believe the
district attorney can do less than
dismiss the other indictment
against me and give me my free
dom"
Spectators Shout.
District Attorney Fickert Is un-
decided as to his future course re-
garding her. 1t is probable, how.
ever, that he will press the trial
of Israel Weinburg soon.
When Foreman Hardwick pro-
nounced the words of acquittal,
shout of Joy went up from the
spectators in the court room. The
worn look which Mrs. Mooney had
worn for days vanished suddenly
and her old smile reappeared. She
seized her attorneys about the
neck and kissed them repeatedly
and then kissed the jurors. crying
out her gratitude to them.
The verdict was reached on the
twentyfifth ballot, Foreman Hard
wick announced today. On the
first ballot, he said, the men stood
equally divided between conviction
and acquittal. On the second bal
lot seven voted for acquittal and
five for second degree murder.
Thus IL stood the 22nd ballot,
when those favoring second degree
murder one by one came over to
the acquittal verdict.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 20.
Increasing submarine tolls and
Russia's apparent military col
lapse make more aggressive Brit
ish and American tactics impera-
tive, army and navy officers here

The admiralty statement frank
ly brought gloom in official quar-
ters.
In an offensive such as Amer
lea might picture, aeroplanes
would drop vast quantities of ex-
plosives on the U-boat bases and
land defenses.
An offensive against the Ger
man bases would be a big gamble.
But with things shaping as they
are now, only big gamble can

of the west front.

Losses Are Great

LONDON, July 26.-Russia's
routed army in Galicia may have
lost to the Germans all the wealth
of artillery and military supplies
which the allies concentrated for
Gen. Brusiloff's great offensive.
Even II Premier Kerensky and
his ministry, armed with unlimit-
ed powers, succeer in stemming
the rout, supplies of incalculable
value have been lost.
Dispatches today served to in
crease the realization here of the
gigantic task undertaken by the
new democracy-that of reform
ing apparently panic-stricken, spy
infested troops with a new spirit
that would Undue them to make a
stand against the ever-increasing
of the Teutonic arm
les.

fusion with which the Russian.

lied the Russian women were
capable of the supreme sacrifice of
their lives for the new democracy.
Except for the women of Belgium,
none have suffered so in the years
past as those of Russia.
Thru the years of the cars au-
tocratic grip they were ground
under foot. When the war began
their men were taken for the
cars service. No word ever
reached them from those who left
in the Russian army's rank. No
kindly government told them of
their fate. At home, only the
considerations organizations
kept many women from staving.
The government had no heed for
their fate.
Shame the Wavering
Then came the revolution and
all was swept aside. Russia re-
vived again. Russia's women,
trampled thru centuries of the iron
heel of autocracy, sprang to the
opportunity for the supreme sacri-
flee of life to cement their new
liberty. The Legion of death" was
the uttermost cxemplification of
this spirit of sacrifice.
One other thing that gave Petro-
grad pride in the women fighters
was that they were in action at a
front where Russia's troops were
victorious. They speculated on
the possibility that 1t was this
small unit of Amazons that shamed
some of the insecure Russian men
fighters into such fierceness> of
purpose that the Teutonic line gave
way.
Great preparations we're in pro-
gress here today to care for the
wounded girl soldiers. 1t was eX-
pected that those who could be
moved would be brought here i'm
mediately from the front Mean
time reports from the front said
those whom Teutonic bullets had
struck were bearing their suffer-
ing with stoical fortitude.

applied to non-citizens is rising.
Already it has reached congress

The McCumber resolution to
draft aliens is today before sub
committee of the senate foreign
relations committee. Under this
resolution aliens may be drawn
into the army or deported upon
refusal TO serve.
The war department. has ap-
proved the resolution, but the
state department has pointed out
diplomatic obstyuctions in spe-
cific treaties with half dozen
countries preventing drafting
their citizens into the United
States military service.
Each of the allied countries is
expected to acquiesce in the
speedy notification of any old
