FARCE COMEDY OF HIGH ORDER
 IS WITNESSED
'lt Pays to Advertise" Made Decided Hit Be- fore Large Audience
 at Coliseum.

The farce comedy: "It Pays To
 Advertise" given last night at the
 Coliseum by the student body of the
 Juneau High School was huge suc-
 cess. Early in the evening this
 standing room only" sign was hung
 out, the big theatre being packed to
 the limit The audience was kept in
 gales of laughter during the entire
 evening at the antics of Peale, the
 advertising man maPn and, and the the qthfYE prin-
 cipals.
 The cast was well selected, each
 and every one fitting nicely and nat
 urally into his part, although the
 stars of the evening were easily Jack
 Oswell as Ambrose Peale, and Rose
 Mclaughlin, as the Countess De Beaurien Oswell appeared as
 typical. breezy travelling man and ad-
 vertising booster. Optimistic enough to believe that anything at all could be accomplished by advertising and energetic enough to take any kind of chance to get his stuff across. Miss Mclaughlin as the Countess rattled the French off as if she were born, in France, but when caughr with the goods, her slangy English was the equal of any uneducated East side shop girl She was excep- tionally good and received a good round of applause for her work Miss Frances Ptack, as Mary Gray 1 son, the leading lady, was excellent. and too much cannot be said about
 her work, which was as finished as
 is often seen on the legitimate stage,
 while Clement Hodges. as Rodney
 Martin, Joe Mclaughlin, as Cyrus
 Martin; and Gilbert Hodges as Fl | lery Clark were all excellent in their parts and showed the results of hard work and much coaching and training on the part of the directors. Miss
 Mary Dresser, one of the teachers. de- l seryes great credit for the hard | work she has put into the direction | of the play
 Those who took minor parts Tn the l production were good and deserving | of mention for their excellent sup port of the principals of the cast.
 
 | The music by the School Orchestra 1 was excellent and much enjoyed. | Those in the cast were Frances | ptack. Nadia Kashevaroff, Rose NC 1 Laughlin, Clement Hodges. Joe Mc- Laughlin.

This is the conclusion drawn here
today following receipt of official in

the prospects of a food crisis the next
month or two in Germany. No one in
authority seriously believes Germany
will starve. But many say in this Of

political considerations forced the

Kaiser His Own Press Agent.
Germany's eastern granary is not
yet open and the prospect of unrest
was one compelling motive for the
west front gamble, apparently.

back that his armies are VIGOROUSLY

Bavaria is practically without

been restricted to a step which prob

most pressing need.
In Hamburg, it is reported, horses

each animal being allowed three

OHIO MAN Invented 1T
Fired Shot So Miles on Lake Erie and
Germany Bought Invention.

Cleveland, o., March 26.-That the
big gun being used by the Germans
in bombarding Paris, is an invention
of a Toledo, Ohio, man, named Whe-
Ian is told today in an anonymous
letter published today in the Cleve-
land News. The writer signs the let
ter IAN eye Witness" and declares
thai the same gun Cor rather the
same idea of gum fired a shot thirty
six miles on Lake Erie when tested
tire years ago. The writer declares
the gun was purchased by DR.. Ber-
nard Dern5urg, the German financial
representative in this country, and
that the inventor and his wife were
taken to Germany on the same ves-
sci that Dernburg sailed on. During
the tests on Lake Erie the gun was
operated from an old mud scow, thus
doing away with the inch-a-mile and
concrete base problems of other days.
In connection with the mysterious
letter writer's revelations, it is signifi-
cant that Doctor Dernburg actually
was in Cleveland the day the Lusi-
tania was sunk, May Z, 1915.
