Pauline Frederick in ia Tosca" ;
the Colonial. Friday.

E'ioria Tosca is beautiful girl of
poor parents. who has been educated
and taught to sing by the priests at
story. she y the idol Of the whole city
and high favorite at court.
She is n love with Mario Cavara
dossi. a painter who is working at a
fresco in the Church Of St Andrea
where Tosca meets him every after
noon.s
One day while he is waiting there
for her. a political refugee from
Naples. Cesare Angelotti, hides in the
church where his sister has hidden
some Of Ter own garments as a dis
guise Mario helps him escape before
Tosca arrives, although he arouses
her jealousy in the delay about open
ing the door. and because she fancies
he has painted resemblance to an
other woman in his madonnas.
Meanwhile Baron Scarpia. the chief
Of police. has discovered Angelotti's
escape from his cell at the castle of
st. Angelo. and traces him to the
church, where he finds the fan of
Angelotti's sister. which the fugitive
had forgotten to take.
That night Scarpia follows Tosca to
Ia fete at the Farnese Palace where he
plays upon her jealousy with the fan
in an effort to trace Angelotti. His
questionings are interrupted. however,
BY the news that Italy's army has lost
a great battle. and the fete is rudely
interrupted. Tosca goes to Mario's
villa where she has only time to learn
the truth about Angelotti's escape be-
fore Scarpia who has again followed
her. appears.

wrings from Tosca the whereabouts Of
the fugitive. The news comes too late
however. for Angelotti, discouraged

Scarpia's men find him.
Scarpa is 50 enraged that he orders
Mario sent to prison in Angelottis
place. Tosca pleads for him. but I'M
availingly, and soon she herself is
locked up by Scarpia lest she appeal
to the Queen for help.
Apparently relenting. Scarpia later
calls Tosca before him and after some
parleying. bluntly informs her that
she herself is the price of her lovers
freedom. Tosca refuses at first. but
when Sca.oia declares that unless she
consents, Mario shall die instantly, she
consents.
Scarpia then promises to order the
firing squad which is to execute his
sentence dDon Angelotti to place blank
cartridges IN their guns. He pretends
to issue this order. and goes on to tell
Tosca that Mario has only to pretend
to fall and remain until nightfall when
Tosca herself can come to carry him
away.
When Scarpia's back is turned, Tos-
ca. selling a knife from the supper
table which has been set for them,
plunges it into Scarpia's back. He is
killed at once. and stopping only to
place a few candles around him, Tosca

.PRUNE PACKERS LEFT
WAITING HELPLESS
BY OFFICIAL DELAY
80 Size Released But These
Packers VIII Not Dispose
OF Alone

Prune packing houess cannot see
even a silver lining to the cloud of
uncertainty in the prune busnes, not.
withstanding the fact that the federal
food administration has issued orders
that 30's and larger sizes of prunes
may be released. Practical prune men
think 30's are the largest size even if
the Washington authorities do mention
something larger.
While the release of 30 sizes looks
well on its face, packers say that this
would mean barely five per cent of
the crop. But the trouble comes in the
fact that packing houses do not con
tract 30's; except along with other
sizes They cannot sn:l the other sizes
and at the same time they dare not
ship car load Of 3O' to any one job
ber as mat would eventually leave
them" without stock to ship the mixed
orders already contracted.
Hence, while they are permitted to
sell 30's the fact is, the packing hous-
es are tied up as much as ever'an are
patiently waiting for the federal food
Administration to finally figure out
how much loss there was to the Cal
ifornia crop and how much the govern
ment will take Of the Oregon crop.

Army new POLICY
IS ELASTIC DEFENSE
Remarkable Order Signed By
German Leader Captured
By British

With the British Armies in France,
Oct. 3.-The British attacking force
north of St. Quentin was General Raw
linson's army. The attack began at
sos this morning and centered on a
ten thousand yard front between Nony
and Sequehart.
Early reports indicated that all was
going well.
To the right of Rawlinson' s forces
the French pushed beyond st. Quentin
and reached the 0seSambre canal at
Moy.
Advices from Flanders declare the
German withdrawal in the neighborhood
of LaBassee continues.
A remarkable order signed by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg has been cap
tured by the British. 1t says in part:
"The idea of an elastic defense has
led to premature abandonment of some
of our main lines of resistance. The
firm determination to hold at all costs
seems to have disappeared. Penetra-
ton at various points causes command
ers to withdraw prematurely from
neighboring sectors
"The tradition that the honor of
the commanders of the various units
and of the units themselve is involv-
ed in the maintenance of positions
must not disappear from the German
army.
