LUSTTANTA "HONOR"
MEDAL SHOWN HERE
Copy of Design Concentrating
Act of German Piracy Exhib-
tied at Cunard Offices

A replica Of German medal commem-
Grating the sinking Of the Lusitsnia is on
exhibition in the offices Of the Cunard
Steamship Company, southwest corner OF
Thirteenth and Walnut streets.
The medal was struck following the sink
ing OF the Cunard liner by German sub
marine which torpedoed the vessel without
warning Friday May I, 1915. off the Irish
coast with, "a loss of 1895 lives, of which
29l were women and ninety-four children
the act which more than any other, aroused
American indignation against the Prussian
Government.
The copper-colored memento, designed by
h Goertz, of Munich, was captured from a
German submarine commander and taken
TO London, where it eventually came into
the hands of James Potter. passenger agent
OF the company. II is two and one-half
inches in diameter and in high relief
Mr. Potter described the medal as foIt
lows:
"On one side is shown the vessel sinking
and on the other the figure of death selling
tickets at the Office of the steamship COM
pany. The three German words above the
sinking ship--'Keine Baun Ware stand
for no contraband of war Plainly TO be
seen are a cannon, an airplane and an
armored car occupying the deck. Although
the Lusitania carried rifle cartridges on her
fateful trip, it has been indisputably proved
that she carried no weapons of defense or
offense, the cannon, airplane and armored
car being pure inventions"
translation of the legend beneath the
ship reads:
steamship Lustania, sunk by a German
submarine May !, 1915"
For what reason a date two days prior
10 the attack was placed on the medal
leaves wide field for conjecture" contin-
ued Mr.. Potter. "At the top of the re.
verse side appears this sentence:
" 'Geschaft Uber Allies business above
everything. One person Is seen reading a
newspaper, no doubt attempting to convey
the idea that he was reading the notice
inserted In the daily papers by Count
Bernstorn warning Americans and other
neutrals to keep off vessels flying. the Brit
lsh nag. The man in the rear raises a
menaclng finger. Beneath the window i'm
which death is selling tickets appear the
words indicating that it is a ticket office.
Whlle the designer put in guns armored
cars and airplanes, he conveniently omitted
to put in the women and children which
the world knew she did carry This de-
sign seeks apparently TO PROFOUND the
theory that If the murderer warns his VIC
tim Of his intention. the guilt of the crime
rests with the victim, not with the mlIr.

 FANNIE WARD IN PLAY
Each Pearl a Tear, Lasky Feature, Appears Today
 at the Royal Theatre.

] Fannie Ward, the brilliant Lasky star. who will be the Paramount at- traction at the Royal this afternoon and tonight in the Jesse L. Lasky production of Each Pearl a Tear" was curled up on couch in her big dressing room, and there were flow CTS everywhere. The room resem5led a rose garden more than it did boudoir.
 "I enjoyed doing Each Pearl q Tear" smiled Miss Ward, because it is what l call a constructive play: that is, it builds up a better feeling for the photodrama, and in a way will present a strong lesson and be a warn ing ro great many people. It is q play that besides being intensely inter esting and thrilling, teaches a sincere lesson without lot of peachments and false pathos.
 You sec" she explained, raising herself on her elbow. 'I play the role of the daughter of the old employe of a very wealthy and interruptions man. This man, knowing the average woman's fondness for jewelry, em- ploys that means to entice them to him. He persuaded me to wear a val uable string of pearls-(which, by the way, loaned the company out of my own personal collection)-a then in inmates that I have lost them. My father having died from stroke of paralysis. am forced to work as this mans stenosrapher to repay him for his loss, and all the time he has the pearls concealed in his safe. I found this out, and how l eventually ruined him and am won by the man I love. is brought about in way have never seen done before, and I don't believe you have.
 Yes" Miss Ward replied in an. swer to a question. ''I had a very nice vacation in New York, but I am cer- tainly glad I am not there now. went there principally to lay in a new stock of gowns, and according to my friends, bought everything in sight but this is not so, as there is only one designer in the country whom l pat ronize, and I take only his best crea- tions. I did get some very nice frocks while there, and every one of them will be displayed before long,"
 ''They have not selected the picture I am to do next, but I want tS be a country girl if l can, and run around in bare feet and overalls. I had some pictures taken like that the other day and there is nothing l would like bet ter than a tomboy part, and some day l may get my wish"

WILLIAM HART PLAYS
 TONIGHT AT LOWELL
Popular Triangle Star Is Feat ured in Timely Production
 Called "The Patriot.

Night photography, of a degree of : excellence that rarely has been ap-
 preached in the history of the motion picture industry is said to stand out
 prominently in various parts Of The
 Patriot" the thrilling Triangle-lnce drama by Monte M Katterjohn, which
 will be seen at the Lowell theater, To-
 night. with Wm. s. Hart in the title
 role.
 One of the trlly remarkable effects it is claimed. is that Of the moon aris- ing majectically over the plains of Mexico. while sentry passes. in sil- houette. to and fro. and detachment of American cavalry rides along the international boundary line. To obtain this effect. and guard against "faki- ness,' the Hart company. engaged in filming the play. spent an entire night near its encampment at CaleXico, where majority of the scenes were enacted.
 Another impressive night scene is that which depicts the American troops seated about their bonfires, just before Taps" In this, the fiickering flames bring out the features of the men in bold contrast against the inky black background intermittently illum- mated the tents, as well.
 Still another commendable piece of night photography is provided by the scene which shows the tents of the soldiers illuminated within. A bugler suddenly appears in relief against the canvas of one. and. blowing Taps sounds the signal for the eXtinguishing of the lights. One by one, the lights disappear. until only darkness remains penetrated faintly, however, by the glowing embers of the campfres.
 The photographic achievements of The Patriot" are accredited to Cam l eraman Joe August.

MABEL TkLIkFERR0
 AT 0RPHEUM TODAY
 IN METRO FEATURE
''The Dawn of Love" by Chan ming Pollock Will Be Won derplay Starring Famous Little Actress.

Mabel Taliaferro. one of the most charming and talented young ac, tresses of the stage or screen, will be the feature attraction here at the Orpheum today when she will be seen in the stellar role of ''The Dawn of Love-" a five-part Metro wonderplay. Miss Taliaferro is supported by an usually strong cast which includes Robert w Frazer, Leslie NJ. Stowe, Peter Lang, Martin J. Faust, D. II. Turner, Frank Bates and Jack La Mond.
 The story, which is from the pen of Charming Pollock and Rennold Wolfe. is one of romance and intrigue, and deals with the strife between the smugglers and customs officers along . the northern coast of Maine. Miss Taliaferro has the role of the daughter of a fisherman, who is involved with the smugglers. There are plenty of thrills and suspense throughout the entire picture. The feature was pho- tographed along the picturesque and rugged Maine coast, where the Metro players remained for several weeks, living near a lighthouse The burn ing of the light house and the numer- ous exciting scenes in the smugglers' cave are a few of the big moments in this really big screen play.
 Miss Taliafeuo is seen at her best in this colorful phOtodrama. In the early part Of the story she is shown as care-free. hoydenish fisherman's daughter Later. she affords a marve- lous contrast in her powerful portray al of wronged and indignant woman Miss Taliaferro's wonderful versatil- ity is put to a supreme test in this feature. She was last seen on the Metro program in Gods Half Acre" and before that in The Snowbird.'' Edwin Carewe. who directed Miss Taliaferro in both these pictures, also produced "The Dawn of Love" for Metro.

[. & 4. BASEBALL
 CLUB ORGANIZES

The C. & A. athletes are again in the fore. having already organized their baseball club for the approach ing season. The men met at the Cole shaft Monday afternoon and elected NJ. w. Mitchell president. and w. II. Holcombe manager. while big John Galt is slated for the captaincy. The three are live ones.
 Holcombe says the team will have twenty-two men to pick from this year, men who by all dope on paper should rival the famous old Cactus league team of years ago.
 The All Stars also have completed their organization, and the Copper Queen is expected to follow suit.
 The weather alone prevents the d. ciples of this popular sport meeting in organized combat at present. The de- velopment of all the teams this spring will be watched with interest. It should be a banner year in local baseball. In fact at least four teams should be in the field, and q local league organized. with double-headers each Sunday afternoon. 1t has been the dream of Bill Gallagher for two years, and Bill will be heaTi from on the subject later
