 HOURS OF OPENING
 Mondays circus performances will pe- gin at and o'clock and the doors to the great five-continent menagerie open at l and o'clock First on the pro- gramme will come the mammoth new spectacle, Tn Days of Old" said to be the finest production yet produced by the RinglingS. It will be enacted in five scenes on stage 100 times larger than that of the average theatre. Twelve hun- dred and fifty actors take part in the story, which depicts the adventures of daring warrior and his lady fair in the days when knighthood was in flower. The trappings, settings and costumes are said to be of extreme beauty. Great compan- ies of knights in gem-studded armor are a feature, as is ballet of 300 girls.
 Following the fall of the curtain on the pantomime will come the circus proper. Among the hundreds of performers who will appear will be May Wirth, the great est of all bareback riders, who will amaze with her forward somersaults from horse to horse and leaps from ground to rum ming steed with baskets on her feet; Lily Leitzel, the most marvellous of all aerial gymnasts; Hillary Long, who will attempt to Heap the gap with skates attached to his head; the Johannas troupe of Ice- landic and Soudanese champions in feats of strength.
 WONDERFUL ACTS
 Australian woodchoppers felling giant tree trunks and throw axes at great dis tances; the Tamaki and Otogawa com panies of jiu-jitsu marvels; 30 Chinese gymnasts who perform while suspended by the hair of their heads; whole com panies of world famous aerialists and high-perch performers, including the Clarkonians, the Nelsons, the Miranos, Jahns aud Andresens; 70 equestrian ar- lists, and scores of arenic stars in daring tent-top and hippodrome achievements.
 Aside from the men and women artists will be many animal actors numbering five herds of trick elephants, three troupes of wonderful seals and sea lions, performing and posing equines, including the wonderful horse "Balarini, whole troupes of Shetlands, collie dogs, pigs, goats, and geese, and Toque, the great est of all trained dogs, who rides, leaps and iuggles like a man. Throughout the programme will be the antics of 80 clowns and the whole be brought to close with laundering chariot races and contests be- tween the fleetest of dogs and prize-wln- ming horses.

Austrians Steal Gifts
Pope Sent Prisoners
[.Stot Correspondence

WASHINGTON. March 26-Austrian
military authorities have stolen pack
ages sent by the Pope to the Italian
prisoners Of war in Austria, in addition
TO many thousands of packages of food
stutfs and other articles intended for
the relief of the Italians held prisoner
IN Austria Hungary, according to an
official cable from Rome day. 1t
also states that the Italian prisoners
tuhercular condition have been reduced
to mere skeletons. The dispatch fol-
lows:
The Italian prisoners, 800 of whom
were recently returned from Austria be-
cause of their tubercular condition, are
reduced to skeletons owing to the
privations to which they were SUBJ jected
by the Austrians. They constitute an
appalling commentary on the condition
of prisoners in Austrian concentration
camps
"The physical condition Of these men
is a proof of the statements they make
concerning the conditions in the enemy
concentration camps. Their weight
averages between 81 and AS kilos a
maximum OF 90 pounds They de-
clared that packages sent from Italy
to the prisoners of war in Austria are
seldom delivered. The Austrian mill
tary authorities remove c~e labels bear
ing the addresses of the prisoners and
stamp on the packages either 'un-
known or mot delivered for want of
address.
The packages containing foodstuffs
are served at the Austrian officers
mess. The other packages are sold at
public auction after having remained
for certain period in storage. Of
these packages more than 10000 were
thus sold during the month of Decem-
Der alone.
"The Austrians failed to deliver even
the packages sent by the Pope to the
Italian prisoners for Christmas. al
though each package bore the inscrip-
ton: The Holy Father offers with his
