course was organized to fill a new
place on the platform. In recent years
an attempt has been made by all the
mixed quartet companies to sing and
act a great deal of grand opera. either
by producing an act from one of the
better known operas. or by building
the major portion of their programs
around such selections. The result
has been the pushing into the back
ground OF much of our best music
other than opera. The Hampton Court
singers present a new type of pro-
gram in that it contains few if any,
operate selections. Unlike any other
singing party in the lyceum it stands
between the operate quartet and the

For the second time the fate of E. D.
Rogers, charged with the murder OF
Clyde Cross, will be given into the
hands of jury at o'clock this morn
ing. The arguments of counsel were
completed last night, leaving only the
courts instruction to the jury, and
the latter's deliberation. All week
the court has been occupied with the
case. This is the second trial of Rog-
ers. He was convicted at the first
trial, two years ago. and given an in
teterminate sentence of from twenty
to forty years.
The history of the case is still fresh
in the minds of Power county people.
Rogers and Cross were neighbors and
friends, living on adjoining farms in
the southern part of the county. They
came to American Falls one day the
best of friends, so far as anyone ever
knew After arriving both began
drinking, securing their liquor from
bootleggers. During the night, while
both, were more or less under the in
fluence of liquor, they had a quarrel,
during which Cross was stabbed by
Rogers and died a few hours later in
the Bethany hospital. Cross, when
told that he would die, lay all his
trouble to drink and had not the least
censure for Rogers, but sought to be-
friend him instead by holding him
blameless.
The prosecution was conducted by
County Attorney Baird and T. d. Jones
and the defense by o. R. Baum and
W G. TBissell. The jurors who are
trying the case are:
Fred Colfelt, c. c. Adams, H. E. Geb-
hart, W. Estabrook, Frank Ertle, Joe
Priest, Earl Hooker. Daniel WOhlgo-
--shuth, F. Claassen, E. E. Sweetzer

Ten German sailors interned with
several hundred others at Fort Nc
Pherson, Ga, escaped Wednesday
night through a tunnel they made un-
der one of the barracks and which led
them TO liberty a hundred feet away.
The men were interned a few
weeks ago from Fort Oglethorpe and
officers believe they had been work
ing on the tunnel since shortly after
their arrival.
Soon after the escape was discov-
cred bloOdhounds followed a trail
about a mile from the fort to a small
stream, into which the fugitives had
waded. Every one of them left his
socks on the banks of the stream. but
no other wearing apparel was found.

CONTINUOUS APPLAUSE
AT K0LB & DILL

Giggles on either side, snorts in
front and real big husky outlaws from
behind was the situation of the report
er at the Kolb & Dill performance of
The High Cost of Loving" played at
the Auditorium Wednesday night be-
fore one of the largest audiences that
has witnessed a show in American
Falls in many a day. Some people
said it was a scream, others slapped
their knees in glee when telling about
it, but all were one in meaning it was
the best comedy they had ever wit
messed. The far-famed KOlb was up
to standard and kept the audience in
a continuous state of applause. Just
to look at Dill was enough to lend
spice to the affair. Even the actors
themselves had to laugh when Bill
Jacobs as Godfrey Burnham appeared
on the stage with red billy goat whis-
kers and minus a wig.
The play dealt with the operations
of a purity league whose members
Tere sworn to investigate anything
bordering on the scandalous. When
it came to looking into the pasts 4
some of the league members there
were four members kept pretty wor-
ried A number of complicated situa-
tions ensued which in the end worked
out satisfactorily to all concerned in
cluding the audience. 1t was a great
show and it is hoped that more of its
kind can be booked here.

LOSS OF ZEPPELINS Is
HARD BLOW TO GERMANY
One Hall Total Fleet OF Super-Zep
pelins Believed TO Have Been De
strOyed by French.

Germany probably lost one.half of
her total effective fleet of super-Zep-
pelins as a result of the raid of Octo-
Der 20 over England. according to Of
ficial cablegrams received in Washing
ton. All France is exultant over what
the dispatches declare to be the great
est defeat administered to an air fleet
since the beginning of the war. The
qualification is more intense because
it is now known that the German raid
was an attempt to carry out fearful
threat of vengeance made four days
before.
On that occasion the German govern
ment sent out a warning to both
France and England of dire punish
ment to follow what the Germans de-
clared to be unwarranted and inhuman
attacks by British and French aviatOrs
upon peaceful German towns. Re
prisals were threatened in an official
German communication, which in part
reads:
For every brick which falls from
peaceful German homes. whole rows
of buildings will be Overthrown in

DECLARES WAR WILL
END BY NEXT July
American Steel Company Engineer
Visits Salt Lake on Way to Havana

That the world war will be over,
with victory accorded to the allies,
weeks before America shall have cele-
brated her next Independence day is
the belief of Louis A. Hartman, Pitts
burg, Pa, a civil engineer of the
American Steel company who visited
Salt Lake Wednesday on his way to
Havana. Cuba, where his headquar-
ters have been for nearly a year.
Mr.. Hartman said that Cuba was
even now proving a considerable fac
tor in the war Within the next sixty
days the Cuban government will send
$4,000 trained soldiers into active ser
vice on behalf of the allies; this in
reciprocity for the loan Of $500, ,000, 900
which the United States recently made
to Cuba.
Cuba must furnish, according to
Mr.. Hartman. a large part of the su-
gar required for the support of the
allies in the continuance of the
struggle and it is in the erection OF
more mills for the manufacture of SUI
gar that the Pittsburg Steel company
is now most directly interested in Gu
ba. Day and night work on six OF
eight great plants, each requiring
about 700 tons of structural steel vii
be rushed from now on and Mr.. Hart
man believes that this portion of the
work can and will be completed within
ninety days.

viii Increase Speed of Army Tran
SDOrtS.

AS one indirect result of the loss of
the Antilles, the navy is expected soon
to put navy stockers in the tireholes
of all transports to guarantee their
maximum speed through the subma-
rine zone and thus reduce the risk by
torpedo In fact, the navy probably
will take over complete control of all
transports now manned by civilian
crews. 1t has been proved that a
navy crew in the freehold. under navy
discipline and methods, can make a
ship do three and four knots an hour
better than a civilian crew.

GOES INTO CONQUERED
GERMAN TRENCHES.

General Pershing accompanied one
of the French generals Wednesday as
far as the second German line in the
French attack on the Aisne front.
General Pershing was, with General
Franchet d'Esperey, at first observing
the attack from a favorable post some
distance in the rear of the French
front line. Then General Pershing
suggested going into the French
trenches.
This they did, but General Pershing
was not satisfied and went on through
the shelifire into the first line of the
captured German trenches and then
into the second line. General Per-
shing's imperturbable attitude during
this time is the talk of the French
army.
The American general afterward
went with General Franchet d'Esperey
TO General Petain's headquarters and
was present when General Franchet
d'Esperey gave the commander in
chief a detailed report OF the success
ful attack.
