Greatest Circus Is Coming

There is to be a real circus day this
year-a Barnum & Bailey circus day.
advance guards of the greatest show
route carries itlclose enough to be visited
by everybody in this vicinity. Thirty
acres of tents will be set, and the big
show will be exhibited in Flint on Aug.
28th. A wonderful new program is
season the monster entertainment has
ever before. Starting with a magnifi.
His Wonderful Lamp" the circus will
occupy three hours or more with events
in air, on platform and rings and in the
huge hippodrome surrounding. The
opening feature is the first attempt at
Chinese pageantry in the history of
American circuses, and it has been de-
scribed as the most gorgeous presenta-
tion ever attempted. The circus pro-
gram, which follows the pageant. is
made up almost entirely of names and
acts new to the. American public, the
cream of all continental circuses having
agents for booking on account of the
closing of most of the big foreign cir
cuses. There is a complete Chinese
circus, replete with thrilhI e aerial and
acrobatic feats; the famous Hanneford
family, champion riders of Europe, will
display their wond, r 'ul skill Signor
Bagonghi, the dwarf bareback rider,
described as the equestrian comic of the
century, will thrill and convulse with
laughter. There will be more than one
hundred acts, and to name and describe
them would occupy too much space.
The parade, which is entirely new, will
start from the show grounds in Flint as
nearly 10 o'clock in the morning as pos
sible. 1t will be three miles in length,
and there will be six bands, three Gallo
pes and steam piano to create music
for the marching throng.

Americas Cause for War

''The military masters of Germany
denied us the right to be neutral. They
filled our communities with vicious spies
and conspirators. They sought to cor
rupt our citizens. They sought
by violence to- destroy our industries and
arrest our commerce. They tried to in
cite Mexico to take up arms against us
and to draw japan into hostile alliance
with her. They impudently denied Us
the use of the high seas and repeatedly
executed their threat that they would
send to their death any of our people
who ventured to approach the coasts of
Europe. This flag under which
we serve would have been dishonored
had we withheld our hand. - Woodrow
