Three horse-riding lions leap from the ground onto the backs of galloping horses. while others are seen in a rare pedestal and posing acts with other animals.
 The group of Soyal Bengal tigers. in the hands of Miss Mabel Stark, an ami mai educator of world repute, amaze one with their learning. Leopards handled by slip of a girl are taught to leap through the air. lie down a, her bidding, jump through hoops of fire, while one feature is quartet of horse-riding animals.

Spain Denies Huns Have Broken
 Relations Over U-BOat SinkinqS
Spanish Government Declares It Will Be Necessary to Use Interned German Ships If More Vessels
 Are Sent Down by Submarines

Madrid, Aug. 21.-Spain will utilize German vessels now in Spanish ports in place of Spanish ships sunk by German submarines and will continue to observe neutrality.
 This decision is announced in an official statement issued after meet ing of the cabinet aat an Sebastian. The Spanish ambassador at Berlin has been instructed to inform the German government of this action. The cab inet statement reads:
 "In the course of the recent meet ings held at Madrid the government considered international situations.
 100 Sailors Drowned.
 "As consequence of the su'bma- rine campaign more than 20 per cent of our merchant marine has been sunk, more than 100 Spanish sailors have perished, considerable number of sailors have been wounded and numbers have been shipwrecked and abandoned. Ships needed exclusively for Spanish use have been torpedoed without the slightest preteXt, serious difficulties resulting to navigation.
 "The government has believed that it is unable, without failing in it's es- sential obligations and without set ting aside neutrality, to defer the adoption of measures necessary to guarantee Spanish maritime traffic and to protect Spanish crews and passengers.
 Consequently the government has decided to address the imperial Ger man government. and declares that owing to reduction in tonnage to it's oyfr ~xyi11 hn 0Io1i0oI 3,o case of new sinkings to substitute Spanish ports. This measure does not imply the confiscation of the ships under definite title. It would be only a temporary solution until the estab- lishment of peace, when Spanish claims also will be liquidated. Threatens Spanish Dignity" Our ambassador at Berlin has re- ceived instructions to bring this de- cision to the notice of the German gov ernment. The Spanish government does not doubt that the German gov I ernment appreciates the circum- stances determining this resolution l and will recognize that Spain, in hold ing to the neutrality she has prac- ticed since the beginning of the war, which has sacrificed many of her rights and legitimate conveniences when it has been possible without af- l fecting the dignity of Spain and her national life.
 "The decision of the government 10 assure for itself sufficient tonnage, which is indispensable to it's exist ence. does not affect its firm resolve to maintain strict neutrality" Censor Note in Spain. | In order to avoid sensational com ment on its declaration relative to re- lations with Germany. the Spanish 1 government has instituted censorship throughout the country.
 Foreign Minister Dato states there I is no truth in the report tsat Ger 1 many has sent a note to Spain break | ing off diplomatic relations or inviting Snain tO alter any of it's decisions

BEST THEATRE TO-DAY.

The mere announcement that spe-
 cial photo o-production by Cecil De
 Mile, master producer of Aircraft pie
 lures is to be shown, means not only
 increased business for any theatre,

 to be expected therefore, that MT.
 De Miles latest photoplay Grill I
 Come Back to You, which was pre- sented at the Best theatre yesterday, would attract considerable attention, , but there are few who would have been willing to predict the success for the production which it actually scored
 This is in every respect remark able photoplay, and Mir. De Mile as director, and Jeanie Macpherson as author, are to be congratulated for the genius they have displayed ill their cooperative labors. The theme deals in vital fashion with the war
 and Miss Macpherson chose. to re-
 gard the conflict more or less from the viewpoint of a child-that is to say the psychological effect upon the little ones of the war-torn nations of europe, pafuculafly III belSiulIl dHu France, appealed to her, as vitally 1 important e
 What would be their impression They, the citizens of tomorrow, how
 do they regard this terrific and ti-
 tanic struggle? So, in writing the story, Miss Macpherson dealt quite largely with the feelings, experiences ,, and trials of little Belgian boy whose sister has married German ! who later becomes an officer in the Hun army.
 The hatred engendered by minor
 cruelties is depicted; the loyalty to Belgium and to. that noble monarch, Albert, is shown most touchingly.
