REVIEW OF
MAJESTIC BILL
Not a Dull Minute on the
* New Bill at the Majestic
Theater
Who remembers the good, old days
of vaudeville with big musical hits, j
and popular skits by Jesso Lasky's;
famous companies?
To one who remembers these, the;
Majestic program for the first ~hree i
days of the week, comes as a breath
of the past with its wonderful memor- i
ies. To the person who doesn't re- j
member the past, there is a big and
pleasant surprise in store.
Musically, the entertainment is the
best that has been given in the city
lor months. From the rise to the drop
of the curtain there isn't a dull mo
ment for the audience —there couldn't j
be with such an array of talent as
the Majestic offers.
Greenlee and Drayton open the bill
with one of the finest song, dance and
conversation tilts ever used to amuse.

| Coughs in a Hurry S; j
§ A Simple Home-Made Remedy
that Geta at the Canae.
Thousands of people normally liealthv !
in cverv other respect, are annoyed with
a persistent hanuinp-on bronchial cough
year after vear, disturbing their sleep
and making life disagreeable. It's so ;
needless —there's an old home-made
remedy that will end such a cough
casilv and quickly*. _ i
Get. from auv druggist "2Vi ounces of
Pinex" (. r >o cents worth), pour it into a 1
pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain |
granulated sugar syrup. Begin taking !
it at once. Gradually but surely you I
will notice the phlegiil thin out and then
disappear altogether, thus ending a
cough that you never thought would end. ,
It also promptly loosens a drv or tight
eough, stops llio troublesome throat i
tickle, soothes the irritated membranes!
that line the throat and bronchial tubes,
and relief comes almost immediately.
A dnv's use will usually break up an or
dinary throat or chest cold, and for 1
bronchitis, croup, whooping cough and
bronchial asthma there is nothing l
better. It tastes pleasant and keeps
perfectly.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex
tract, combinea with guaiacol and is
used by millions of people every year
for tliror.t and chest colds with splendid
results.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2% ounces of Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept anything
else. A guarantee of absolute satisfac
tion or money promptly refunded goe
with this preparation. The Pinex Co. ;

I holds headline honors. It is one ol

is the most popular act of Its kind
that has been billed this season.
Fourteen tirst-class musicians with

mental numbers. An organ effect in
the opening scene, a sextet of mando
lins an dguitars, vocal solos, and stir
ring band numbers all add to the
climax of a program that the Majestic
management will have difficulty in
bettering.
May there be more—many more,

Allied Powers Espouse
the Cause of Old Turks
By Associated Press
Saloniki, Greece, March 13. To
i combat the Influence of Islam among
| the Musulmen inhabitants of Greek
Macedonia, the Allied Powers have
i espoused the cause of the Old Turks
j against the Young Turks now in con
j trol of Constantinople, and are declar
j cd to be financing a considerable pro-
I paganda in favor of the re-establish
! ment of the old regime in Turkey. The
j leading agent of this work in Mace
donia is a former aide-de-camp of the
deposed Sultan Abdul-Hamid Khan,
one Col. A. Samy Bey, who, on official
occasions, is almost completely hidden
under a < artain of gold braid and
decorations. At present he is editing
and publishing a newspaper intended
for circulation among the Musulman
inhabitants Greece, entitled the
"Star of Islam." For a brief period,
he edited a similar paper in Athens,
but as tho Turks are not popular
among the Greeks of old Greece, he
appeared to be wasting his time and
was ordered to Saloniki to co-operate
with the Venizelist movement by
bringing the Musulmen over to the
cause of the Cretan.
Colonel Samy speaks of his work
as a "crusade," and draws his religious
authority for it from a rescript which
he received from the Grand Sheriff of
Mecca, guardian of the tomb of the
prophet, and officially recognized by-
Great Britain, France and Italy as
King of the Hedjaz, on January 3.
The Bey's temporal authority depends
upon old Abdul-Hamid, who Colonel
Samy refers to as "that grand politic
ian who was ever, In Turkey, the High
Protector of the Greek element."
Colonel Samy fled Turkey at the
same time with Abdul-Hamid, in
1909, on account, he says, of his en
tente sympathies. He claims to be a
Greek subject. Since the beginlng of
the present war, he has been busy
with the Mohamedans in Arabia
Syria, Palestine and Africa, spreading
his propaganda in favor of the old
regime fn the Ottoman empire. In
Macedonia, he works in touch with
Essad Pasha.

Plans are under consideration by tlio

which has been acquired by the min
istry of the navy as a naval base. Dur
ing the winter months Chlnwangtao is
constantly used by steamers which
are unable to approach Tlen-tsin be

Greek Labor Unions
Protest Against the
Entente Blockade
By Associated Press
Piraeus, March 13. —The presidents
of the 300 labor unions of The Piraeus
and Athens have presented American
Minister Droppers with a protest for
transmission to the President of the
United States, against the allied block
ade of Greek ports.
"What is most painful," says the
protest, "is that the blockade is being
continued even after the government
has accepted and executed tho onerous
conditions of the last ultimatum of
the Powers, who have formulated no
new demands whose acceptance could
bring übout the lifting of the block
ade.
"This last measure touches the
harmless population of women, old
folk and children whose lives are re
spected even in time of war.
"Under the protection of the block
ade a revolutionary movement, con
ducted by a small number of traitors,
is spread In the Aegeun Islands by
brandishing the spectre of hunger.
The foodstuffs consigned to the com
mission charged with supplying food
to the country are seized by the very
Powers maintaining the blockade and
turned over in violation of all justice
to those who have fomented and di
rected the Salonikl movement. Thi
arrangement makes it evident that
even when the blockade is raised, tha
country will be menaced by famine
This situation has greatly upset tha
commercial relations with all neutral
countries and especially with the Unit
ed States.
"All the unions and syndicates of
vorlring men, through the signatories
of these presents address the liveliest
protest to all the neutral lands against
this violation of every human and di
vine right, and particularly approach
the government of the United States in
the hope that it will be willing to use
its voice to bring about a cessation of
these unheard of measures against a
neutral state."
