Gaudy Wagons Burned on North Farm; Old-Timers © Are Saddened.

PERU, Ind., Nov. 27 (U. P.).—The old-timers—those who remembered when the —glittering wagons first rolled in—poked about the blackened remains of a4 huge bonfire, _or watched silently while workmen ripped out cages and arenas today. the end of an era for the oldtimers, and the end of the circus tradition for Peru. John Ringling North, éwner and operator of the Ringling Brothers shows, has announced abandonment of Peru as a winter’ quarters. .

®arasota, Fla. winter quarters. The circus wagons—126 of them— were burned yesterday. The gaudy wagons that. had paraded proudly through the nation’s broadest thoroughfares were dragged into a field | and became their own funeral pyre. The wild animal training arenas and the cages are being torn apart and removed from barns and buildings to be converted to farm purposes. Abandonment of the Peru winter quarters ends .a circus association that began in the 80’s, when the late Benjamin E. Wallace took posses=--sion of 3,000 acres where the Wabash and Mississippi Rivers meet. At Mr. Wallace's death in 1921, the property fell successively into the ownership and became headquarters for Hag-enbeck-Wallace; = Al G. Barnes; Sells-Floto, and finally John Ringling North, the original land. tract shrinking to 500 acres in the exchanges. When the calliopes played loudest and circus prosperity was at its peak, the Peru winter | quarters sheltered one of the largest collections of wild animals and equipment in the world. Tourists and-sightseers: came fo the “Circus City,” excited by the glamour of watching the shows load in the spring, and returned in the fall to watch them roll in for the winter rest. Ask the old-timers. It’s -an old Story for them.

le arge of R Moves Stirs British Public

BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK Co na RAR ee LONDON, Nov. 27.—~The startling denunciation of Whitehall red tape by Admiral Sir ‘Roger Keyes, in Parliament, will require an immediate answer | from the Governraent to

satisfy the press and the puklic, who were impressed with. Sir; Roger's statement but

judgment - until the Government is heard. Parliament was certainly impressed and to some extent shocked Tuesday by Sir : Roger, hero of Zee- > brugee in the . Admiral JKeyes last war, when

he revealed ‘dghat his dismissal from

ain’s secret troops, the “Commandos,” followed after a year in which he had been unable to obtain permission to use those troops. ¢ Sir Roger paid tribute to Prime Minister Churchill for: his keeness, vigor and readiness to face huzards, but stateds that the prime minister is handicapped “not only by the same kind of machine in Whitehall that existed in the last war, ‘but exists now with even greater force and apparently with constitutional o power.” According to sir Roger, countless committees must approve any operation before it is undertaken. These

dangers of every amphibious enterprise suggested,” thus thwarting or delaying its execution until it is too late, he said. Sir Roger then alleged that. the present staff system must be overhauled unless Britain is to be toq late in everything undertaken. Asked whether his criticism ¢ be applied to the present Liby: erations, the admiral refused to dei ment on the operations in progress. Until a few months ago the ex“Commandos” had been kept secret although it was fairly widely known that an admiral had been appointed to organize and train a picked group of daring young amphibians for ‘raiding purposes. The appointment was made: last July when Admiral Keyes was 68. His retirement last month was made on the basis of his advanced age. . SThe press today .seems unimepressed with the official reason for Admiral Keyes’ retirement, suggesting that if he is too. old now he was also too old last; year. If the Libyan campaign is successful, Sir Roger’s criticism of the general staff will be partially answered, but it was pointed out in debate that local commanders in the Middle East are free to make their own preparations and do not have to await instructions from London, whereas the “Commandos” do. If, however, the Libyan campaign is unsuccessful the political results will be most serious.
