The greatest musical extravaganza
that has visited Waterville in late
years was seen Wednesday evening at
the Haines theatre in the production
Of Gilbert and Sullivans opera 'Rud-
digore." given by the Boston English
Opera Co. A peculiar thing about the
play was the swining from good to bad
ana bad to good by the characters in
the first and second acts. Those who
were good IN the first act were very
bad in the second and vice versa, Civ
ing the audience a thrill of excite
ment and pleas ure: The story deals
with the curse Of a witch who vas
burned at the stake by the first baro-
net of the line. Sir Ruper: Murga-
troyd. and who placed curse upon
the family, that eaon successor to the
title had to commit a crime each IA!
or be tortured by the ghosts OF. his
ancestors. The plot is to show how
the real baronet is discovered. how the
curse is transferred and how at last
he finds happiness for his sweetheart
and himself.
Dan Marble. who Is seen in The role
OF the real bdronet, VINO is QlSS ulScI
as a farmer. sang very WEI. and got
out of his character all there was in
it of comedy and drama. Miss Godbout
as Rose Maybud has a sweet soprano
voice and was cordially received by
the audience while Eva Quintard as
Dame Hannah was exceedingly clever.
In fact the entire cast was mos ac-
ceptable. the young women Of the
chorus were prettily costumed and the
scenery most effective.
Among the musical numbers which
received the unqualified stamp Of ap-
rroval by the audience were the Muir
gatroyd Legend sung by Miss Aice
May Carley, who portrayed Mad Mar
garet. Miss Carley has a beautiful
contralto voice which gave her hear ers
great pleasure. The Ghosts High
Noon" sung by Joseph F'lorian as the
21st baronet, vas also greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Florian has a powerful voice and
is of commanding presence, being adj
mirably suited for the role. Bertram
Coitra as Sir Despard, the wicked bar
onet, sang we'll and proved himself a
fine comedian. A large and apprecia-
tive audience witnessed the produce

that used by the Germans during the

pronounce correctly the well-known
slogan of the Germans, Deutschland

Japs Discriminate
Against u. S. Goods
to the Far East

Washington, Sept 39-The Amer
lean government is in possession OF
reliable reports" of Japanese proceed
ure at Kobe, amounting to discrimina-
ton against American shipments to
the Far East according to a letter
from Secretary Alexander to Chair
man Benson Of the Shipping Board
published today in a bulletin of the
Far East Commercial Intelligence. !
Secretary Alexander's letter was In
reply to communication from Chair
man Benson calling his attention to
instances of Japanese procedure at
Kobe, in connection with American
shipments to China.
Il wish to acknowledge with thanks,
receipt of your letter of Sept. 10 re-
ferring to instances of Japanese pro-
cedure at Kobe in connection with
American shipments to the Far East.
the secretary said. This department
is well aware of this situation which,
according to reliable reports has ex-
listed for some years. The nature of
the discrimination is in almost every
case 30 subtle notwithstanding its
effectiveness that it is almost impos-
sible to take formal action.
The best solution of the matter
seems to be direct transportation OF
American goods ~in American ships
wherever possible"
In his letter of transmittal to the
Bulletin, Chairman Benson said:
"Of course the suggestion of the
secretary that American goods be
transported in American ships where
ever possible receives my hearty en-
iorSement and is the constant aim OF
the Shipping Board,
Reports have reached the depart
ment. Secretary Alexander said
which tend to show that American
shipmenst to Kobe in Japanese bot
toms for trans shipments to Chinese
ports have been subjected to delays
and excessive charges for handling
and re-shipping which in some cases
amounted to 200 or 800 per cent. more
than the freight originally prepaid.
Japanese procedure at Kobe, foreign
trade experts Of the department ex-
planned. has been directed against
goods shipped by the United States as
we'll as other countries in line with all
aggressive policy for the development
Of their trade and shipping.
