though they were not so gaily attired

"Sn3wstorm' was the dance of third,
fourth and fifth grades, and was every
bit as colorful as the first dance. al
though the children were few years
older. Pretty little Laura Carter, with
two attendants just as worthy of the
sdjectiyes, Margaret Cremer and Mill
lani Lscas, was the Snowstorm Queen.
Surrounding the queen seated upon
green covered throne was q bare

around her in imitation of falling snow
as graceful and lightly as the angels
they represented.
Oriental Maids Represented
Other circles for this dance were
formed by little japanese and Chinese
children in native costume, the Chi.
nese maids adding touch of realism
to the scene with strands of white
paper IN their hands, as did a natural
cotton bush in full bloom, which,
strangely, was. near the center of the
performance.
Two other dances there were which
were just as prettily rendered The
Highland Fling was danced by Made
line Cummings-Smith, CARRIED as a
bonnie lass Of Scotland, and the solo
dance by Lucille Aflague in the cos
tune of a Spanish senorita. Both
we're heartily cheered and kept busy
during the balance of the afternoon
posing for pictures for the amateur
and professional photographers who
swarmed about the field.
Another dance which was executed
with skill that showed their superior
training was that of the Butterfly
given by a number of girls from the
Normal School in the costume Of jap
snese maidens. Japanese, "haole,
Spanish and Hawaiian-they all dane

AMERICAN LIVES
LOST BY WORK Of
DEADLY U-BOA 7

WASHINGTON, D. c., March %. =
The sinking of the American steamer
Healdton, with the probable loss of a
score of lives, including number OF
Americans, while another grave addi-
tion to the long list of German ag-
gressions, cannot cause any immed-
late change in the existing situation,
j. was said here today.
President Wilson's Forthcoming ad-
dress to congress was taken up in its
tentative form at today's cabinet meet
ing, being thoroughly discussed. All
the secretaries were asked by the pres
ident to bring forth material in sup
port of the points on which the ad-
dress will touch, and it is understood
it will outline comprehensive steps
which President Wilson believes con-
gress should take to meet the warlike
operations of German submarines.
The president continued his policy OF
keeping in touch with all army and
navy preparations today, cancelling
all engagements for the day with a
single exception. This was with Gov
ernor Mccall, of Massachusetts,, who
desired to confer with the chief eXecu-
tive to devise ways in which the Mas
sachusetts state government can CO.
operate with the federal government in
strengthening the defenses Of the ma
ton, especially as regards the guard
ing of certain industries that will sup
ply war materials and munitions in
case of war.
The subject of cooperation with the
Entente Allies in the financing of NIL
nitions purchases was discussed in a
tentative way by the entire cabinet,
but no decision had been announced
relating thereto at $3.50 O'Clock this
afternoon.

Six Americans Among Survivors

AMSTERDAM. March 23.-The Han
delsbead, in it issue today say only
siX Americans are among the surTiv-
ors of the American steamer Healdton,
adding that the unreliability of Ger

ports of the crew of the Healdton and
the crews of fishing boats as well.
These survivors say that for safety
sake the Healdton took the northern
route, but that on Wednesday Ger

HEAVY FIGHTING
FEATURES MOVE
FRONT IN WEST

NEW YORK, March 23-(Compile1
by the Associated Press from Euro
pean cables during the day.
French and German authorities an
nOunce violent fighting near st. Simon
ir the region where the Germans have
recently been retreating.
The Paris war office statement says
French troops being attacked, repuls-
ed the attackers and drove the Ger
mans back three miles northeast OF
st. Simon's.
The German statement says heavy
losses were sustained by the French
who tried unsuccessfully to cross the
Somme-Crozat canal, near St. ST.
mons.
The initial phase of the big battl5
hear LaFere has apparently turned in
favor of the French, since they sue
cessfully crossed the Ailnette river and
the Crozat canal at several points. The
Germans elected to make their first
stand along these waterways, follow
ing Hindenburg's strategic retreat, y
which began some time ago. and it
now remains only a questions as to
whether or not the Entente can bring
up heavy artillery quickly enough to
smash the German main army before
they are able to consolidate their po-
sitions there.
New interest attaches today to the
campaign in western Persia, and in
Mesopotamia, where Russian and Brit
ish converging armies are enow ap-
parently only one hundred miles apart.
The position of the retreating Turks
is regarded because Of this. as in
creasingly precarious.

HUMAN FLY" TO
CLIMB BUILDING

Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock R
n Morris, OF Biloxi, Miss, better
known as the Human Fly" will scale
the Planters Bank building from side
walk to roof, using no ladders, ropes
or mechanical devises of any kind to
assist him in performing the feat.
Permission was granted this morn
ing bv Mayor Council allowing Morris
to make the climb, although the daring
young man was required to sign an
agreement releasing the City of Amer
icus and all its officials from all liza
bility as regards damages in case uf
an accident causing injury or death TO
the climber.
Morris is young man of slight sta
tue. vet his we'll knit figure at once
shows that his physical condition is
excellent and the sinewy fingers give
evidence of the strong grip he brings
into use in climbing the walls OF sky
scrapers.
He stated this morning that he had
been climbing for IA years, having
scaled the Woolworth building of %
stories in New York, in hours and
81 minutes. He also toured England
and the United States, climbing high
buildings in various cities.
In Columbus recently he sustained
an injury by falling from the dome OF
the courthouse, only frail balcony
saving him from crashing to the
earth.
A gold plate in his skull and a piece
of silver which pieces out a broken
rib are evidences of mishaps which
have befallen Morris in his climbing
career. but he declares that the Plant
ers' bank building should offer no
great difficulties.
Morris frankly stated that he is not
in the climbing business for his health
and in view of this fact, will take up
a collection at the conclusion of his
exploit.
