Commencement exercises were held
at Mt. Pleasant School at Bellevue last
night. The graduating class was ad-
dressed by James NJ. Tunnel, attorney
Of Georgetown, who recently announced
his candidacy for the Democratic nomi-
nation for United states Senator. In
the course Of his address Mr.. Tunnell
said:
AT the time OF the declaration Of
war against Germany by the United
States, the public was divided into two
principal classes. one OF these classes
contended that the Administration had
been too slow In urging a declaration OF
war. Those who composed this group
professed to believe that war should
have been declared on Germany when
the German army entered Belgium or
at any rate when the Lusitsnia was
sunk. The other great class favored a
further attempt at settlement Of in
ternational difficulties by negotiation.

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE!"

Algiers, although not large in size
will insist upon doing big things. The
latest is the staging of THE Mystery
of Life" at the Tulane Theatre some
time in June by the children and
young ladies of the parish under the
auspices of st. Margaret's Daughters.
1t is a beautiful allegorical play in
three acts and twelve scenes.
The play is founded on the Bene-
dicite, the cauticle of the three youths
in the fiery furnace. given in the Book
of Daniel, and tries to explain the
reason of the existence in this world
of evil, which constitutes the mystery
of life.
The theme gives wonderful scope
for beautiful scenes. diversity of cos
tunes, choruses and tableaux. The
cast is so large that the big Tulane
stage was the only one that could
meet the requirements.
There will be choruses representing
beasts of the field, men and angels,
also days, hours, stars, clouds, rain
drops. etc.
1t can easily be seen what beau
tiful production this will be, when
one considers the talent of our chill
dren. They have already begun their
work under competent teachers and
trainers, and every detail will have
been attended to when the curtain
