"INSURGENCY" SHOWN
LONDON, March 17. Dr. von Iieth.
mnnti'Holhvcg may rcsiRn the post of
German Imperial Chancellor says n
Geneva dispatch to the Dally Express.
It quotes from Berlin reports, which
also say that Prince Dcrnhard von
Uuclow, the former Chancellor, is ex.
pected to leave Lucerne for Berlin at
an early date.
BniUJ.V, via Amsterdam. March 17.
Kor tho first time since the beclmiltic of
urtllOStt yesterday's last prlco, and. t"o war all Is not harmony ntnoiiR the
:"rV.lV."''V.r;";.; v.Vt.rMv ' ..'"un '"i"ninS m me Keicnstna;.
hen tho German parliamentary body
reconvened Wednesday It became at once
evident that the Socialists, heretofore the
only party from which trouhlo was ex
pected nnd usually came, are not the only
dissenters, but that there Is a strong
undercurrent of opposition to the Govern
ment oven nmone the National Mberals
and Conservatives, hitherto Its most loyal
supporters.
Two Independent causes ,.ro
slBiicd to the sudden discontent : the res
ignation of Grand Admiral von Tlrpltz
nB Minister of Marine and the Impression
created thereby that tho Government has
completely "surrendered" to the Amer
ican protests on submarine wnrfare,
which. In turn, Is Interpreted ns mean
Ins that Germany Is to be virtually de
prived if her most effective wctiptn
ugalnst the Allies.
OMINOUS TR.VStO.V.
norlln's political atmosphere Is fraught
with ominous tension. Many Itelchstnc:
lclee;ates who thus fnr have proved the
Government's chief pillars, nro now openly
threatening "InsurBency."
As a result of this unprecedented slt-
.muuii me uovernincnt has deemed It best
to allow discussion of the Government's
foreign policy, nnd through tho medium
of a speech by Chancellor von Dethmatin
Ilolhvefr, revlewlne and explalnlnB this
policy, to Invite nn open d.-bnte. It has
found It wise, however, to lot a week
elapse beforo this full discussion, the first
of Its hind during the war, Is to bo ol
lowed. Tho speech and debate nro sched
uled for Friday of next week.
It Is an open secret that tho sudden
turmoil within the ranks of the" Reichstag
delegates Is n reflection of the- general
sentiment of the bulk of tho nation, which
has long been fostering a feeling stronger
than dislike for tho United .States becauso
of the hitter's raising a restraining hand
whenever the German people wero prom
ised a now submarlno- campaign against
the Allies' maritime trade.
"PATHKR OP GKHMAN NAVY."
Closely connected with this question
Is the resignation of Grand Admiral vnn
Tlrpltz. There Id no concealing tho na
tionwide dissatisfaction over what Is com
monly Interpreted ns n shelving of tho
man wno tnrougn ills Indefntlgnble work
of half a century has come to bo Idol
ized by tho people ns "tho father of tho
German navy" and to whom tho many
naval exploits of tho war on tho part of
warships, auxiliary cruisers and commerce
raiders HUvo been directly attributed, not
to speak of. tho submarine warfare, which
has never failed to be certain of the whole
nation's approval.
The Government. In confirming Von
Tirpitz's resignation, hastened to assure
tho public that under his successor. Ad
miral von Cnpclle, tho U-boat warfare
will be carried on without abatement or
modification. The Overseas Nows Agency,
a semlolllclal establishment, supplements
this Uy saying that Admiral von Cnpelle's
appointment ns Minister of Marine Is not
of Importance In relation to tho question
of submarine wnrfare. "since tho direc
tion of submarlno warfare Is In the hands
of the Chief of the Admiralty."
The whole situation Is expected to be
thoroughly threshed out In the Ilelchstag
next week. A special parliamentary body
ut a meeting yesterday decided that there
Is u general deslro for a frank and open
debato on the underlying motives of the
Government's attitude townrd neutrals,
especially toward the United States.
Thus, Germany will In all probability
witness next week a parliamentary spec
tacle almost parallel to that which took
placo In the American Congress recently.
The debate will be nn open demonstration
of the Uelchstng members for and against
the United States. There may even be
such a tilng as a governmental demand
for a vote or commence, lilttor foes of
the United States will clash with the con
ciliatory element, which Is bent upon pre
serving peaco with America and this
element. It appears. Is led by the Govern
ment. In a controversy with members of the
Ways and Means Committee of tho Prus
sian Diet regarding the Diet's competence
to discuss the American and other Issues
of foreign and military policy Foreign
Minister von Jagow admitted yesterday
the Diet's right to discuss anything It
saw fit, but declared that tho Government
could not and would not accept advice or
criticism "on those matters which are be
yond the competence of the Prussian
Parliament."
LOCAL TRADE CONDITIONS
REPORTED SATISFACTORY
Prices in All Lines Continue Firm,
With Demand Good
Business conditions throughout the Phil
adelphia district generally are said to be
very satisfactory; prices continue firm
and steady, with demand good. The vol
ume of sales for the last two months In
nearly all lines la far In excess of tho cor
responding period last year. To some
extent this Is thought to be due to the
demand from abroad, but It seems the con
census of opinion that domestlo trade Is
better and the prospect.of a continuance
is very favorable.
In their weekly review of trade condi
tions. R. O, Dun & Co. report cotton and
cotton yarns In good demand, especially
the finer grades of weaving yarns. Tho
electrical trade Is occupied in household '
specialists and is beginning to be busy
In connection with qperatlon work. Leather
continues active, with prices high and firm.
Continuing', the report says:
"The Iron and steel market la very
active and no falling off In demand Is lip-
parent. Fjntttiea material is prm, wiin
an upward tendency in price and mills
are crowded with business, and In some
cases orders In hand will keep them
fully occupied Into the third quarter of
th year. The demand for structural ma
terlal Is brisk and considerable new build
ing work Is In prospect Collections show
soma Improvement.
"The stove trade Is well occupied on
supplementary heating apparatus, but
business In staple goods rather quiet, ow
ing: to changeable weather conditions.
Jobbers and retailers are busy; foundries
are operating to about 70 per cent ca
pacity ; prices are Arm and collections fair.
The situation In the lumber trde Is
favorable, Little change 14 noted in the
coat business, both bituminous and anthra

EVENIHCr LKDGER-PHILABigLPTTTA, FRIDAY, MARCH 17,
IIEIIMAN SANDBY'S UECtTAL
Composer nfid Retiring Principal
Cellist of the Orchestra Gives
Farewell Program
Herman Sandby appeared as soloist, en
semble player nnd composer nt his fare
well recital, which drew a large audlenc
to Wllherspoon Hall las? evening. Mr.
Sandby bore virtually tho entire burden of
the program, Gcorgo Harris, the young
American tenor who had been billed to
slmr font mmiliPM liv t c.ji... i..
eluding settings of words by Oscar Wilde !
ana vvbii numan, winch contained
tempting possibilities, wired last-mlnuto
regrets nt Inability to sing, owing to sud
den laryngitis.
XIr. Sandby decided to carrv nut the
program himself, a procedure which was
evidently to tho pleasure of his admirers.
To add a totich of novelty he enlisted tho
co-operntlon of Vincent Fnnelll, first harp
ist of the orchestra, to accompany him
In two groups. These added the Her
ccuse, from Oodnrd's "Tocclyn"; Dvorak's
"Gypsy Song," Glazotinow's "Spanish
Serenade," his own "Icelandic Folksong,"
Sibelius' "Solltudo," ,nnd Popper's "Ga
vctte" to a program which began con
ventionally with Dvorak's 11 minor Con
certo, and traversed the first public play
ing of three nrlgtnnl pieces of Scandina
vian folk music for violoncello, violin nnd
piano i ncbussy'n "Tho Hells." Dvorak's
"Indian Lamont." and Davldoff's "At tho
Fountnln." Tho Scandlau music, In which
Mr. Sandby had tho deft collaboration of
Kmll F. Schmidt, violinist of the orches
tra, and Ethel Cave Cole, pianist, who nlso
was the adept accompanist of the evening,
Included "Davlsa" (Swedish), "Gangcrpll-
ten" (Danish), nnd "Spring Dance" (Nor
wegian). The original program held much
of Interest; In Its reconstructed form It
wns ro well adjusted that hasty rearrange
ment was not obvious.
There Is nothing emotionally over
powering In tho Dvorak concerto and
nothing In Its Intricacies overtnxlng to a
performer of Mr. Sandby's skill. Through
tho allegro which he took at an extraor
dinarily rapid pace, creating admiration
for Ills fleetnCSS Of fingers, nnd ndllglo
hiiu jmri ui me mime. n.i simple suite-
...Ant nf flt.f..ta ntwt fnrtl.lvl.t ilft.'Alnn.
mont of themes and forthright develop
ment nfforded an ngreeable object lesson
In the sonnta form, but at the last thero
weie mounting (lights of power and pas
sion on the wings of which Mr. Standby's
spirit fionred.
13ut ho reached the "cor cordlUm" Of his
hearera' emotion In tho Incongruously
subtle simplicities of his folk music, naive
superficially, but Invested with tho ages,
long wisdom of the folk soul and touched
with tho melancholy ot tho north.
Always was there tho tang of tho earth,
never wns there sophistication. And It Is
so easy for nn ndept harmonist, schooled
In the devices of composition, to spoil the
Idyllic feeling of such a thing ns the
"Norso Spring Song." Mr. Schmidt's vio
lin spoke up finely nnd truthfully nnd Miss
Cavo Cole gave a semblance of orchestrnl
background, never over-emphatic, at and
through the plnno.
The othor-worldly Intangibility ot the
Debussy "Hells" was n triumph for tho
soloist's faculty of Interpretation, Just as
the rippling onomatopoeia nf the plashing
water In the Davldoff. the lilting measures,
Instinct with the spirit of the dance, of the
Popper Gavotte and the Slav Idea of
Spanish rhythms nnd serenading wero a
triumph for his technique. Mr. FnnelU's
harp did more than mark time In accom
paniment. It blended beautifully with Mr.
Sandby's choicest tones, in some of theso
exhibits of virtuosity and as well lit tho
familiar (.odard Cradle Song and the wide
and wistful yearning of tho Sibelius num
ber. Mr. Sandby hnd to repeat Sibelius' "Soli
tude," and ns a flnnt encore gave tho Fin
nish composers hauntingly tragic Valso
Trlste. Karller In tho evening he cavo
Saint Saens' "Le Cygne" In response to nn
Insistent demand for an encore.

DRY GOODS MARKET FIRM
Export Offers Refused; Little Effort
to Obtain Orders
N'KW YOltIC, JInrch 17. In Its weekly
review of trude the Dry Goods ICcouomlst
will say tomorrow: "The market con
tlnues to bo strongly In the sellers' fnvor.
Kxport opportunities offered were turned
down by three or four textile corporations
this week and practically all manufac
turers nnd selling agents show little
anxiety to obtain orders. As one manu
facturer put It, 'Wo aell and then repent.'
the idea being that If the goods had been
held they would have brought 11 higher
price.
This Is true of all tho fabric lines, but
moro especially of silks, woolens nnd wor
steds. In spinning and weuvlng plants In
the last named branch. In tho vicinity of
New York, strikes have resulted In the
payment of higher wages to tho opera
tives. In woolen nnd worsted dresH goods
mills In every centre a number of looms
nro Idle or are running on short time, be
cause of shortage of dyes. This, with
the high price of wool and tho uncertainty
that prevails as to tho duration of the war
deters tho mills from any serious en
deavor to Increase production at this
time."
Dr. Ring Tells of War Experiences
The Baptist Social Union met In Lu l.u
Temple last night. Speeches were made
by Dr. George Orma Illng, the noted eye
specialist, who told about his observations
In France nt the outbreak of the Kuropean

DRAMA LEAGUE MEETS
Variegated Entertainment Offered by
New Administration
It was a decidedly variegated nnd alto
gether entertaining meeting of tho Drama
League yesterday by which the new ad
ministration Inaugurated Its year. An
audience that crowded tho Broad Street
Theatre listened to lecture, drama, song
and humor. It applauded llbernlly the
new president, Mr. J. Howard Itcber, and
applauded him both for his own worth
to the society nnd for the warm and
Just words with which ho praised the
long tabors of tho retiring president, Mr.
Henry Lo Harre Jayne. It listened to
an Interesting explanation of Mr. 13. W.
Mumford on "How to Chooso a Terfect
Children's Ploy," nnd when It saw Mr.
Lee Pope's comedy that won tho Jayne
prUe, It agreed that tho pleco was per
fect Indeed.
The audlenco was next regaled with
a talk by Miss Frances B, Clark, of the
educational department of tho Victor
Talking Machine Company, on tho songs
and musle of Shnkespearc'n plays, plenti
fully Illustrated by examples played by
the Vlctroln. Lost, hut decidedly not
least, came "A Critique of Pure Ictttice,"
by Mr. V. 11. Mearns. the genial and well
esteemed chairman or the Playgolng Com
mittee. It was a "screen nccount" In verso
many verses and very amusing verses
of tho labors and humors of bulletining
"the most discussed drama In existence."
I which turned out to be "Life."
As for Mr. Papc's children's play. "The
Hravest Thing In tho World." It wns a
distinct and delightful surprise a ptausl
blo entertainment for children ; no high
fnlutln' Imagery, no Impossible blnnk
verse, nono of that "sweetness and light"
pose with which so much "literature" for
children Is blasted. It was a simple,
homely little story of tho three children,
who met the Jingle Man, nnd how one of
them tho littlest, of course grew very
bravo ns a result, and took "the dark
walk" nt least two years before It could
normally bo expected of him.
Tho Plays nnd Players, with the nld of
the Misses Green, of the Southwnrk
ahndes of thn RlmU-esnenroiin nlnvora'
.elgliliorltood Drnmntlc Club, gave a cap
' 1.- . -.. - . -
Itnl performance. Mr. Mearns nnd Mrs.
Fngan cnrrled off the ungrateful parts of
the grown-ups with mnrked success, whllo
Vinton Frccdley played the Jingle Man
with real spontnnlety and nn acrobatic
ability of no mean order. As for Miss
Kmma Fagley Mearns who had tho ad
vantage over tho Misses Clrcen of playing
her own sex well, she Is qillto tho fresh
est nnd most delightful child nctrcss that
the present writer has Keen upon tho
singe. K. M.
"GOD IS STILL HERE"
Dr. W. H. JctTerys Tells Noon Audi
ence of Miracles
"If you don't believe In the Church be
causo the terminology Is of a former day,
consider tho many miracles that arc per
formed the present day. showing conclu
sively Hint tho spirit of our Lord Is still
here," asserted Dr. William Hamilton Jef
fcrys, a layman, tho brother of tho Itev.
Dr. Kdward Al. Jefforys. rector of Old St.
Peter's Church, at the church today In a
noonday Lenten address.
Ills topic was, "Living .Men and Dead
Men." Doctor Jefferytt showed, by re
counting present-duy Incidents, that "Cod
Is still here." "I am convinced that vir
tually everything tho Church teaches
about and around the past Is uctually lap
petting today In our presence." he sal
