The musical comedy includes several very catchy and entertaining numbers, including- "The Moon Chorus," "Pinka Pong," and "Back to London."'

As proof jthat Germany retains control of her in the United States, the New York Herald early in May publishecl a facsimile of the military order received by German reservists in America, in which the recipient is instructed, in the event of a break between the United States and the Imperial Government, to, proceed at once to Juarez, Mexico, and report to his superior there. The missive, received anonymously by the Herald, had been mutilated by the sendor, but sufficient typewriting remains to show that it was addressed to a sergeant in New York. "D.R. 16 Inf. Brig.," and was. signed i by a major in that city, "by Order of Grand General Staff of Army." The order 'is dated April 24, the day, it will be remembered, when it was reported from Berlin that the German Chancello'r was drafting the Kaiser's reply to President Wilson's ultimatum- The letter is accepted in New York as proof that tho Kaiser's Government had made ample preparations to move the great army of German-enlisted soldiers from America to Mexico in the event of diplomatic relations being severed. Once in Mexico, Germans probably feel asursed that they will be able to fight with General Carranza aganist the United States whether the United States arid Germany are at war or not. The letter was handed to the proper authorities, and it was believed that little trouble would be experienced in tracing the German army order to its source. rvmmmmmmmmmtmmmmmtmmm
