The opera is the product of W. A. P. John,.'16, and H3. A. Schradzki, '15L. The play centers about three red- haired girls, which fact furnishes the basis for the title.

Tae train had a miraculous escape at 10 o'clock Sunday night when it stop- ped only a few feet from a switch locked with a heavy brake-beam. The train was stopped only by the qui k action of the tower man, who was notified of the defect by a work- ian who rushed to the tower just as the train was approaching. The train ran almost past the tower when the engineer saw the signal and threw on his emergency brake. So far as could be ascertained, none of the pas- sengers were injured by the sudden stop. SAYS THIAT CITY HAS RIGHT TO PUiMP WATER ON STE E FARM Judge E. D. Kinne recently ruled that the city of Ann Arbor can not be deprived of its right to pump water, from its wells on the Steere farm and refused to enjoin the city on the pe- tition of Gustave Schenk, a farmer whose lands adjoin the Steere farm. In an effort to obtain a pure water supply, the city has been conducting tests at the Steere farm and Schenk charged that the tests have caused his wells to go dry. It was also held by Judgb Kinne that the city is liable for damages if its action deprives neighboring lands of water and he assessed damages of $100 against the city in favor of Mr. Schenk. The case will be carried to the supreme court.

According to a statement by Capt. Wheeler of the Moreen, his vessel reached port at dusk and was met by customs house officers. After their inspection the crew began unloading, a part of the cargo of benzine into fighters; at 10 o'clock while this work was going on a torpedo boat slipped up alongside. "This is an American ship, and we are i.n neutral waters," protested Cap- tain Wheeler, to no avail. "I wish to see youropapers as well as any wireless messages you received en route," insisted the German officer. Captain Wheeler complied with the demands. The officer inspected them and departed. A protest against board- ing the Moreen in neutral waters is expected to be made through the American consul-general in this city. Nane Torrey Invitation Chairman Arthur H.

No Conlir'imaton of Report That Bul' gari is Seeking Separate Peace With Entente Powers Rome, Feb. 14.-According to con- fidential information available here, Germany, previous to leaving Saloniki and resuming the offensive on the western and eastern fronts, decided to try to compel Roumania to remain neutral throughout the war. Bulgarian troops are being secretly concentrated on the Roumanian fron- tier along the Danube, where Austrian amid German soldiers are also being concentrated. When this concentra- tion is concl'uded Germany is expected to demand formal assurances of Ron- mania's neutrality, besides insisting upon the demobilization of the Rou- manian army. She will probably re- sort to the occupation of the Ron- manian frontiers, at the same time promising to restore them after the war. Meanwhile, Germany is striving to provoke a cabinet crisis in Roumania, with the object of having a pro-Ger- man premier replace the present gov- ernment, which is suspected of being favorable to the Allies. Germans Try to Cow 11oumanians London, Feb. 14.-There appeared today no confirmation of yesterday's unornial report from Athens that Bul- gari is seeking separate peace with the Allies. The actual military situation in the Balkan theatres of war, Macedonia and Albania remains stationary, while "be- hind the screen" preparations for a sudden military stroke are very marked. All eyes are again turned eagerly toward Roumania where the Kaiser's special emissary has planned a rigor- ous campaign, the substance of which may be summed up in the threat,-"If Roumania does not join the central powers shortly she will suffer for it. The Tpeutonic empires know how to strike hard at the earliest moment." Thus far, however, the Teutonic pro- pagant(ia has failed to make any verl great impression on Roumania. Mean- while the Austrian and Bulgarian in- vading armies are in Albania, the for- mer threatening Durazzo and the lat- ter Ablona. They have made no sub- stantial headway toward actual at- tack on the Adria-tic seaboard. Bulgaria Mmay Swerve in Allegiance London, Feb. 14.-The Evening Stan- dard learned from its Athens corres pondent today that definite negotia tions hae been opened for a changE of policy on the part of Bulgaria wbiel will incline her to the side of the Allies.
