The audience at all times was not

Liberty; II. II. White in "Alexan,

But when ii comes to the real vivid
patriotic sentiment one with real
fight, the solo by Charles E. Know

A Night In Spookville
E. Cooke Patton, named on the pro-
gram as "Salem's s premier magician"
lived up to his record for spooky stuff
in his presentation Of "a Night in
Spookville. 1t was in all respects the
best that L. Cooke has presented to tho
public for many year which is saying
much, and should any one doubt his
gift of picking an orange out OF mo-
where, or Of dipping water from mys-
tic well, there is chance to sec il
done tonight.
The end men, G. E. Knowland, Les
lie Springer, H. r. White and William
Lerchen, all in black, were most gor-
geously attired and did their bit p
keeping the audience amused.
AS musical director, John W. Todd
had his chorus well in hand and the
music went with the precision Of pro-
fessional minstrels
The crowded house last night was
due not to personal solicitation in sell
ing tickets but to the desire Of the
people to help the Red Cross and have
the real pleasure of seeing first class
show, 1t is on again tonight. The show
is good, extra good. Don't miss it.

Holland Is Trying
To Stave OF War

Washington, April 24.-Hol-
land was believed here today
to be making some concessions
Ito Germany to stave off war.
Germany has demanded the
right to get badly needed grav-
el and other war material from
the neutral nation. Holland has
ajeadlfastly declined to make
certain alterations in policy,
but 1T is considered likely here
that she is striving. to do the
hifficult task of keeping on
nominally friendly terms, at
beast, with beth the entente
and Germany.
The state department. and
Dutch legation had unusually
small information as to devel-
opments there, aside from the
fact that the United States is
undertaking to keep as much
peace as possible in the Dutch
situation by supplying more
tonnage than at first decided
on.

ITALIAN AVIAToRs FoREsTALL
 AIR RAID BY ENEMY
They Formed an Aerial Gordon Around the City of Padua.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
 sociated Press).-Padue was spared
 another air raid last night largely
 through the daring of Italian avia-
 tors who went into the air an hour
 before meonrise and formed an aerial
 cordon around the city, meeting ene-
 my machines as they advanced. The
 enemy aviators, seeing the heavy con- centration, diverted their course, go- ing to Mestre. Bassano and Caste1-
 franco, where they caused some cas-
 ua1ties and considerable loss at the
 last place.
 British aviaters are doing especial ly good work Their latest exploit
 was the destruction of an enemy bal Icon at Susemata and the bringing down of an enemy airplane by gum fire The artillery action along the mountain and Piave fronts is inter nittent and no longer shows the in- tensity of. a big offensive. Along the upper Piave enemy batteries have been virtually silent for week. indicating either a shortage of ammunition Or a possible movement of forces westward to other fronts.
 Weather conditions continue abnor- mally good with clear days and nights The temperature usually Is above freezing and there is almost nc snow. Weather experts believe the season now is so far advanced heavy snows are unlikely until the regular Alpine snowfalls beginning in Feb | rl1ary
