BOWERS PLEASES 111 NEW SOHC-fICT IN DRPHEUW The Bisou City Four, Who Were Ma rooned in Europe, Show No Bears of Battle, but Provide Some Olever * Vaudeville Entertainment If the Bison City Four, at the Or pheum theatre this week, are just back from the war, the various members of the quartet do not show it. They have no sears, no bandages and tell no thrill ing experiences ot (lodging shells and fleeing airships. They did not even lose a bit of scenery nor any of the by play that has teatured their act here tofore. The Bison City Four can be funny enough without any change, but what's the use of having a war experi ence if you don't make something out of it when you get back to the Bhores of Uncle Samf Frederick V. Bowers and company, which includes a pretty woman, sev eral dancers and a bulldog, occupy the headline position on the bill. Bowers, who is composer of popular airs, sings them very well; introducing in his act just enough dancing to make it well balanced. His act starts on a steam ship pier. This suggests a return from the vfar zone, but it is just a setting for a now song a/bout, the United States songs being best. Bowers always en tertains. Trained flees have been outdone by the trained canary in the Orpheum this week. The unusual thing of a canary singing to the accompaniment of a vio lin and imitating other singing birds lis presented. Pauli and Boyne, a man and girl team, are exceptionally clever. A domestic comedy skit, "Hiring a Maid," by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cap pelen, presents some amusing situa tions. The opening and closing acts are above the ordinary. As a jumper, Clin ton, who opens the bill, has few supe riors and the novelty hoop-rolling act of the Nelson and Whalen troupe at the close of the show is above the average.

ENGLISH PLAN TO Ml N BUR • Found in Archives of Belgian Staff at Ber lin, Says the German Ambassador A CONSPIRACY WITH THE ALLIES • Says German Contention Is Proved That Allies Did Not Intend to Re spect Belgian Neutrality and That Latter Did Not Exist Washington, Oct. 13.—Count Von Bernstorff, German Ambassador here, to-day issued a statement in connection with a telegram from Berlin, announc ing the finding in the archives of the Belgian general staff at Brussels by the German military authorities of doc uments which, it was claimed bv Ber lin, showed details of the plan for landing an expeditioner Knglish force. The statement follows: "The German Ambassador drew special attention to-dav to the telegram which came from German headquar ters. This telegram proves the German contention that the allies did not in tend to respect Belgian neutrality. It even proves more, namely, that Belgian neutrality practically did not exist and that the Belgian government was con spiring with the allies against Germany. Notwithstanding the 'denials coming from French sources it is a fact that French prisoners were taken at Liege and at Namur who acknowledged that they bad been in those fortresses be fore the German troops entered Bel gium. "On the French side it has been asserted that the German chancellor in proclamation had acknowledged that Germany was doing wrong in violating Belgian neutrality. It must, however, not be overlooked that the chancellor further said, 'we know that the allies do not intend to respect Belgian neu trality and Germany in the position she is in, attacked from three sides, can not wait vvhiln the allies can wait.' At that time'the Belgian archives were not at the disposal of the German government. ' If the chancellor had known at the time he made his speech that Belgium was not neutral he would certainly have spoken of the alleged Belgian neu trality in a different way. Germany has violated the frontiers of no really neutral country whilst the nllies are on record for disregarding all obligations towards China."

The text, of the bulletin, which was made public by the Marine Depart ment, follows: "On October 10. German submarines I were sighted in the Baltic Sea. The | same day, early in the morning, the marines attacked the cruiser Admiral Makaroff, which was searching a sus pected bark flying the commercial flag of the Netherlands. "A submarine of the enemy launch ed several torpedoes, which, luckilv, missed the mark and caused no damage • whatsoever to the cruisor. "On October 11, at 2 o'clock in the I afternoon, the submarines of the en ; einy again attacked our cruisers Bavan and Pallada, which were patrollinn the : Baltic. "Although the cruisers opened a i very strong fire, one of the submarines ; succeeded in launching torpedoes j against the Pallada, whereupon an ex ! plosion resulted and the cruiser sank j with all her crew." The complement of the Pallada was 573 officers and men, and if all were j killed, as indicated in the preceding ; dispatch, the loss to the Russian navy ■ is severe. The Pallada was a vessel of 7,900 , tons, with a speed of 21 knots, launch | ed at Petrograd in 1910, She was a I sister ship to the Bavan. The pallada i carried two 8-inch guns, 8 6-inch guns, I 22 12-pounders and four three-pound- I ers, in addition to torpedo tubes.

CfIPITOL TO AVOID CONGESTION AOTO OWNERS GET BUSY Should Send In Their Applications for 1915 Licenses at Once, Is the Re quest of the State Highway De partment Automobile owners and drivers and motorcyclists are urged to send in their applications for licenses for 1915 at an early date,, according to a statement issued by the &tate Highway Depart ment to-day.
