At the Majestic

"NIaytime," which will be the at
traction It the Majestic theatre next
Tuesday, derives it's title from the
fact thai the story of its four acts, or
episodes, transpire in the month of
May. Not only are all the scenes in
hat month of blossoms, but much
takes place IN the 21st day of May.
More than three-quarters of a CEN
fury pass, however, between the day
in May in which the play opens and
that in which it reaches its climax.
"Maytime' is an original narrative
IF inherited affections whereby grand
children realize the happiness that a
blighted a denied heir ances-
tors two generations before. Rida
Johnson Young, one of the better
known of feminine playrights. wrote
"Maytime" and she went far off the
beaten path to fashion a story that
is novel and freshly appealing. The
musical establishment for the play is
by Sigmund Romberg, composer of
Her Soldier Boy and much of the
music in the spectacular Winter Gar
den shows.

TELLS OF SINKING
OF AUSTRIAN SHIP
IN HARBOR OF POLA

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the
Associated Press)-It was by
swimming into Pola harbor and
steering two small submarine mot
ors towing bombs that two Italian
naval officers destroyed the Aus
trian dreadnaught Viribus Units
just before the signing of the arm
istice between Italy and Austria.
The swimmers were in the water
nine hours and had to penetrate
four barriers across the harbor en-
trance, two of which were cOmpOS-
ed of steel submarine nets. After
they had attached their bomb to
the side of the dreadnaught, they
were captured and taken on board
the vessel and were there when the
warship was blown up.
They escaped without injury and
have returned to Rome to tell OF
their exploit which is character
lied as one of the most daring and
successful in the history of naval
warfare. Only the fact that the
by Italian naval forces previously
had been made known but now the
details have been given out by the
Italian admiralty.
The officers who thus sent to
the bottom a 200,000-ton ship, one
Of the most powerful in the Aust
rian navy, were Lieutenant Raj
faele PaoIucci and Major Raffaele
Rossetti. The attack was delivered
on the morning of November l,
1918.
To tow the bombs into Pola har-
Dor, the two Italians invented small
compressed air motors TO which
were attached bombs. For six
months the two naval men prac-
ticed in long distance swimming.
The italian admiralty gave them
the use of a motor boat.
Reaching the harbor entrance at
nightfall, the two daring men
started on their expedition swim
ming beside their little motors and
steers them. To escape detection
by sentries on a wooden pier across
the harbor mouth, PaolucCi and
Rossetti had hats shaped like bot
ties, and the sentry saw nothing but
a couple of bottles being tossed
about by the waves. When his
back was turned they advanced and
safely passed the first barrier.
After infinite labor they fought

their way through the steel net
and the Austrian fleet lay before
them. Reaching the side OF the
Viribus Units, they attached the
bomb to her hull beneath the lad
der which led to her deck and timed
the bomb to explode at $50 a m.
By this time they were exhaust
ed, having been in the water more
than nine hours. AS thew were
leaving, they were discovered and
taken on board the dreadnaught.
At first they refused to answer the
questions asked them by Admiral
Voucoyich. At 6:15, however, they
told the admiral what they had
done and he gave the order to aban-
don ship. Paolucci asked the ad-
miral if he and his friend might al
so try to save themselves and he
shook hands saying, You are
brave men and deserve to live"
They plunged into the water and
swan away, but ten minutes later
the admiral began to suspect the
bomb story and sent a launch to
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-01-31

N2ited States Encourages Growth
OF Fiber Spitable for Use in
Grain Binders.

That there are possibilities of
the United States becoming to a
considerable degree Independent of
Yucatan for its supply of binder
twine material is shown by de-
yelopments made by the United
States department of agriculture
IN recent years in the production
of sisal and henequen in some Of
the insular possessions and the
production Of hemp fiber in the
United States. Manila maguey has
been grown in the Philippines
many years and sisaI has been in
PRODUCED into those islands since
the American occupation.
Work carried on by the depart
ment in cooperation with the Phil
ippine bureau Of agriculture dur
ing the past year resulted in the
Introduction into the Philippines of
the first really efficient machines
for cleaning these fibers. Two ma
chimes in the islands are fully
/Iuipped and in operation and a
third complete outfit has been for
warded. Plantations for supplying
leaves for the machines are being
planted on a large scale and better
methods OF planting, cultivating
and harvesting are being practiced.
The cultivation of fiber plants in
the Philippines has been confined
chiefly TO areas near the coast
where the leaves could be soaked in
the sea water to soften the pulp
and facilitate cleaning the fiber by
hand. Cantala, or Manila maguey,
was produced more extensively be-
cause the plants were more easily
cleaned by hand More than IA
900 tons of this hand-cIeaned fiber
We're exported from the Philippines
during the calendar year 1917 Its
value for use in binder Irvine is
greatly impaired because the salt
from the sea water in which the
leaves are soaken attracts crickets
and grasshoppers which destroy the
bands while the bundles of grain
are standing in the field.
1t is found that sisal is not only
hyperion to maguey, as was we'll
known before by manufacturers in

Major Rossetti and Lieutenant
PaoluCci were recaptured and ia

ship where they were kept prison
ers until the armistice was signed
and an Italian warship entered the
harbor. Then a launch was sent
for the two heroes and they were
sent on destroyer to Venice where
the people gave them a vociferous
welcome.
