SPECTACULAR AFFAIR

Lesser Park was the scene of
most beautiful performance on last
night when "The Pageant of the
Nations" was presented for the ben
eft of the Red Cross. There were
about one hundred performers, the
pageant taking place on the grass,
the south end of the park making a
pleasant auditorium. The pageant
opened with the entrance of America,
Miss Louise Bowden leading about
ten other girls in a dance of happl-
ness: then came a bevy of babies
representing Joy, and from sthe other
side of the band stand group OF
other little girls, led by Sophia Nor
ment. representing Happiness. Mrs
Geo. Norris led the group of Belgian
girls: Miss Christine Conner, France;
Mrs. l.. M. Osborne, England Miss
Jamie Penn Brown, Italy, and Miss
May DeVere was America All of
these groupes were composed OF
girls in beautiful national costumes,
and all executed graceful dances.
Solo dances were given by little Max
inc Daggett as Happiness, Miss Lee
land Williamson as England. The
Spirit of War was taken by Hal Mix
on and he was overcome by the
American soldiers, represented by
the Bow Scouts. After the pageant
a series of pictures were given Illus
trating old songs. Some of these
were Miss Gladys Karicofe as Annie
Laurie: Mrs. John Mann as TIP
perary, Miss Ursula Guerrant and
the little Norris baby as Mother OF
Mine. Mrs. julius Benham as Mother
McCree; Mrs. Davis Plummer as
Kathleen Mavonrneen; Miss Pearf
Mann as Juanita; Miss Macon Der
rick as Love, Give Me Your Heart;
Miss Virginia Blair as My Country

Camp Fire Girls in costume. These
girls also circulated through the large I
assemblage of spectators with their
and collected $1655O
'or the Red Cross fund.
OF course the Mariana Commercial
Club Band rendered invaluable as.

COAL SHORTAGE

Washington, August S.-Not even
the most drastic restrictions and
close economies win prevent a coal
shortage next winter, il is feared by
officials of the fuel administration
The shortage. though it viii be in
bituminous supply, affecting manu-
featuring, will be felt in some degree
by the domestic consumer unless the
country manages TO save between
50.e00,000 and 60.0000Oo tons.
With a weekly requirement of pro-
duction in bituminous coal equal to
more than the record weekly output
from now until the end of the coal
year, March 81, 1919, the last record
ed weeks shipments show the fourth
successive week of decreasing out.
put
The decrease was equivalent to q
million tons net, or rs below the
record of the week of July 81, when
production reached 13,2S6.0O0 net
tons. An output of 14500,000 net
tons a week for the rest of the sum-
mer months would be necessary to
make UP the deficit to date and the
fuel administration admits that in
creased production cannot make UP
that deficit, particularly as the esti-
mates of consumption are increasing
daily through new war industries or
expansion of existing war fuel needs.
The loss of production for the
week of August 10, which is fairly
representative of the conditions gen.
orally from week to week, is attri.
buted as follows
Car shortage, rs per cent: labor
shortage. including strikes, Al per
cent. mine disability. Al per cent;
no market, .02 per cent; all other
causes, 1.S per cent.

REVOLT In GERMANY
AFTER WAR FORECAST
REPORTED SOLDIERS STORING
UP GUNS AT THEIR HOMES
ALL OF THE MEN WILL BE
SEARCHED.

British Headquarters in France,
Aug. 2t-Germany's military leaders
have become distinctly worried over
the prospect of a revolution in Ger
many. Gen. Ludendorff, in captur-
ed secret order, has taken steps to
employ the assistance of his COM
handing officers and various govern
mental agencies to help him stamp
out the glowing spark which has
been seen The order, which Is
more Illuminating than anything that
has come out of Germany in many
months, follows:
ut has come TO my knowledge
through a letter addressed to the
royal Prussian ministry of war that
men on leave have spoken publicly
of revolution which is to break out
after the war.
"a soldier said to have come from
the industrial region of Rhenish
Westphalia declared on train that
in his home district men were going
on leave, taking weapons with them
for the aforesaid object and that it
was easy to take home German or
captured revolvers, as well as hand
grenades separated into two parts.
81 desire that the clothing of men
going on leave be searched as test
cases before their departure. 1t will
be possible to carry this out at the
baths and dressing stations.
II wish to impress upon all SUI
perior officers who happen to hear
such Objectionable talk or who hear
of it through others that they must
! deal with it at once and without
hesitation The home authorities and
the director of military railways have
been directed to take corresponding
measures"
Another order just captured, bear
ing the signature of the chief of staff
of the Fifty first infantry division
recites that court martial have had
various and increasing. number oil
cases where sJbordinates emphati
cally refused to accompany their
units into the line and where the
superior officers have neglected Il
enforce obedience by failing to com
pei the towards 10 go into the front
line" Obedience in this respect, the
order said. must be enforced, ever
though 1t may be necessary to force
it with the use OF arms. 1t is right
the order said, even to go to the
length OF shooting a man as an ex

UNITED CHARITIES

Report of United Charities meeting
held August 7 at the home Of Mrs
Nj. E. Newbern reveals the fact that
in the past year the membership has
decreased from 101 to 81. This is
very discouraging to those who have
worked faithfully to maintain the
much needed organization. When
you read this think twice and if you
are among those who have not paid
their dues for year, call up the
secretary and be reinstated. We
want you We need you. Our work
goes on in time of war as well as
time of peace and although we real
ize the calls are many, yet we must
do our duty by those at home. Since
January first we have paid out $27O.
Isn't this proof sufficient that we are
still at our post?
Respectfully submitted.
