SERVICE HELD
 FOR U. s. SEAMEN

Tokio, Feb. 3-A funeral service was held Dec. 4 on board the United States Cruiser Brooklyn in Yokohama harbo- in memory of the ten men who succumbed to burns suffered in an explosion, while coaling the ship, on December 9. The dead were all fire men. The service was led by Bishop Harris of the Methodist Mission and Rev F. M. Strong, chaplain of the English Church in Yokohama. Pres ent, besides Admiral Rogers, Com mander in Chief of the United States Asiatic squadron, were the American Ambassador Roland s. Morris and Mrs. Morris Consul-General G. H. Scidmore the, commander of the French cruiser Kersaint, and leading citizens of the American community in Yokohama.

THE GARDEN

Prepare the garden for flowers this year. Last summer everybody was so busy raising vegetables that the flowers were neglected. Even if the beds were not plowed up, yet the blooming plants received but little at tention, for most time and attention were given to things good to eat''
 It will be different next summer so to make flower gardens look their very best the good work must be be- gun now-Work that will make SOL diers prouder than ever of their home country. These boys have seen the gardens of Belgium, France and Eng land, so those of America must be made more beautiful. Read the flor tsts' catalogues carefully. Make the lists of plants needs, the seeds, weed CTS. stakes, labels, etc. Look over the tools, and if they are in poor condi- tion buy new ones. Use the interest on your Liberty bonds for your gar den seeds, and spend it freely. A beautiful supply of good fertilizers must be spread over beds and lawns now.
 Look over ornamental shrubberies also. Those that have become woody from lack of proper pruning must be well cleaned up. Cut away all use less growth that is wearing out the vitality of the shrub, also thin, weak, inferior branches. Plants that flow CT on new wood, such as the rose must be cut close, but early spring Towering shrubs, as the lilac, must be cut after they have finished flow ering. Look over the garden now.

EMPIRE

Theer are few stars in motion pie lures more celebrated arhstically than Mme Lima Cavalier, who is said to be the most beautiful woman in Europe" and who will appear at the Empire theatre today in a splendid perturbation of Alicia Ramsey's story of The Two Brides" Mime. Cava- lieri is famous as a prima donna, and her jewels long have been the subject of admiring comment all over the civilized world.
 In this dramatic story, Mime. Cav alieri is seen as the daughter of a sculptor for whom she poses as a model with highly interesting results. She meets and loves her cousin, a dis sipated Italian nobleman, but later weds a wealthy art collector, thereby bringing about complications which result in the development of a re- markable story. The picture, which is tinged with the flavor of tragedy, has a happy and unique ending. It was splendidly produced by power full supporting company with Cour- tenay Foote as leading man.
 Tomorrow: Marguerite Clark in '"The Crucible."

PARK
(ReVieW)


 F1ske O'Hara appeared at the Park theatre last night before a large au- dlence in his latest play, Marry in Haste" and was given a hearty re- ception. The piece is billed as a TO- mantle farce. It gives MT. OHara plenty of opportunity to show his skill as a comedian and he proves that in the field made famous by Chauncey Olcott and Andrew Mack he can hold his own with that notable pair.
 MT. O'Hara is the possessor of a fine voice which he used last night to excellent advantage. The songs, The Kind of Girl 1 Mean and There's the Charm Of Dear Old Ire land in Your Eyes, received great applause. The prettiest selection was My Little Irish Girl" written by an Irish captain who died at the battle of the Marne. This song was given between the second and third acts after the star haG made a speech in which he referred in glowing terms to his country home in New Canaan. MT. O'Hara's supporting company was good. Patricia Clary as Lady Peg BY McVey and Gertrude Ritchie as Lady Evelyn O'Connor were partfcu- larly effective.

PLAZA

The bill at the Plaza is an enter taining one in every respect. The feature act Is The Moonlight Five in Life on the Plains" There are two girls and three men in the of- fering and every one Of them nave splendid singing voices. They are attired in cowboy and cowgirl cos tunes and the sceen Is lad on a ranch in Arizona. The comedy part of the act goes well. Edna Louise Butler, whom we understand was the soloist at the Orange Street Temple, New Haven, for years, renders Beautiful Ohio" to great applause. The yodell finish also takes well. The feature picture is Mrs. 1effing- wells Boots," featuring Miss Con stance Talmadge. It is the romance of a pair of slippers and is taken from the stage success of the same name which was produced on Broad way. The story Is good and MISS Talmadge is seen in a very pleasing role while her support is excellent. It is a comedy drama. Other acts on the bill are Gordon and La Mar in singing, talking and dancing act, "A Broadway Filtration" the turn receiving good applause. Dorsch and Russell, known as '"The Musical Railroaders," playing quite few different kinds of instruments camoufaged as walking canes, steer ing geers, lamp posts, lanterns, etc.; the act was good and the music was well liked Wilfred Du Bois amused with a number of difficult stunts that are quite different from any seen here before.
 Coming Thursday is Anna Case, the beautiful metropolitan prima donna, who makes her screen debut in The Hidden Truth" assisted by popular Charles Richman. No doubt, number of Bridgeporters have heard her wonderful voice on the victrola, and this is the first op- portunity to see her as a screen star.

Surrender of
 African Troops

London, Feb. 4.-(British Wireless Von Lettow Vonbeck, the German commander in East Africa, with his command of about $500 Europeans and natives which took place on Nov. Is is graphically described by the Rhodesian Herald. According to this paper, General Won Lettows com mand included 400 armed natives, machine-gun carriers, a medical unit and numerous women who had fol- lowed their husbands through the hardships of years of campaigning. The surrender took place on the Chambezi river near kasama, Rho- desia.
 The surrendering troops were formed into three lines and General Won Lettow read his formal surren- der to General Edwards. Von Let tow then ordered his native troops to lay down their arms but the Euro peans among them were allowed to retain theirs in recognition of the hard fighting they had experienced. The natives were then marched away to the internment camp.
 Tt was a most impressive spec | tacle," says the Herald. The sur- rendering forces numbered 1 ,555 Flu | ropeans, 4,277 natives and 819 wo- men. The men were all veterans or
 a hundred fights while the women who had gone through long campaigns were carrying huge loads and many 1 of them had children born during the
 war. The native carriers came in
 singing with undisguised joy at the
 thought that their labors were end 1 ed.

DEEP SEA DIVING
 REVOLUTIONARY

Evidence to show that German U- Boat captains intentionally sunk val uable ships in favorable positions to guarantee profitable salvage opera tions by new methods is presented by A. Russell Bond, in Everybody's, for February. Two of the devices per- fected for this purpose are quoted from a number described by Mr. Bond:
 "One of the most remarkable Ger man inventions for divers use is the oxytorch by means of which metals can actually be burned under water. It seems almost incredible to think of heating iron to the meIting-point when 1t is surrounded by a mass of water. but the oxy-acetylene flame is encircled by a cylindrical jet of air that blows away the water. The heat is very intense and highly local ized, and as a result the temperature Is raised enough to eat through iron and steel.
 '"The submarine sled is a peculiar craft that is lowed by a motor-boat; 1t is designed to float but is also fitted with runners, so that it can glide along the bottom of the sea. It has rudder forward, with which it may be made to dive under the waves or come up to the surface, and a rudder at the rear by which it may. be steer ed literally. The diver is.1onnected to the towing-boat by means of a tele- phone cable so that he can com municate his discoveries and also direct the steersman of the boat 3y this means, the sea floor can be ex- plored over wide area without any fatigue on the part of the diver who merely sits in the sled, clothed in his self-contained diving-suit, and notes his surroundings"

TO INVESTIGATE
 HIGH FOOD PRICES

Boston, Feb. 3-A Federal investi- gation of the high prices of foodstuffs was started here today. United States Attorney Thomas J. Boynton, said an effort would be made to as certain whether Federal statutes had been violated. He expressed the opinion that most of the alleged ir- regularities were intra-state and so under state jurisdiction.
 Assistant United States Attorney Daniel A. Shea who is in direct charge of the investigation, said it was charged that some retailers of eggs were making a profit as high as 20 cents a dozen. Federal officials had fixed seven or eight cents dozen as a fair profit.
