Germany Replies to
U. S. Inquiry Concerning
Columbian Sinking
Berlin, Dec. 19 (By Wireless)
The German government's answer to j
the Inquiry of the United States in re- |
gard to the sinking: of the American ;
steamship Columbian by a German
submarine lias been handed to Joseph
C. Grew, the American charge
d'affaires. The noe states, according
to the Overseas News Agency that at
the tlmo the incident occurred it was
impossible on account of the weather
to see for a distance of three nautical
•" M. The wind and sea were rather
high.
../ter a warning shot and the set
ting of tlie signal: 'Send your papers
on board,' the Columbian set the sig
nal: 'I cannot discern your flag.' "
The note continues:
"This answer seemed to be justified,
on acount of the relative position of
the shins and the direction of the
wind, which directed the flying flag to
ward the steamer. The submarine
therefore approached, under the wa
ter and through its periscope made a
closer inspection of the steamship
which had stopped. The submarine
then emerged near the steamer.
"While the submarine was proceed
ing under water it was observed that
the steamer carried the American flag
and bore the name 'Columbian, New
York,' and also hud wireless appara
tus. Judging from her course the
steamer had come from an English
or French port. On account of the
empty wooden boxes on the deck she
seemed to have landed horses, which
are absolutely contraband of war.
"On account of the difficulty of
having boats come to the submarine
for the purpose of making an inves
tigation the commander of the sub
marine gave up his station of inspect
ing her papers, and signalled to the
steamer: 'You are dismissed,' and,
running above water, left the steamer.
Thereupon the steamer resumed her
former course."
MOVIES ARE GETTING BETTER
The moving picture department of
the Woman's Home Companion says:
"There has been a distinctly new
tone to the feature films produced in
the last few months, a perceptible ef
fort to make the stories more like
glimpses of life as it is lived by flesh
and blood people, not by puppets in
the hands of a director who has never
been a student of humanity. Tl.e time
has passed when a successful picture
can be made lip of certain conven
tional motion picture ingredients hast
ily thrown together—a leering villain,
a curly-haired doll heroine, a hand r
some lover, a struggle in a locked
room, a sensational rescue, and a close
embrace.
"So long as features were what the
name implied, they held hopes of de
veloping the new art into something
substantial. They were a step be
yong the one- two-, three-reel pro
gram of mediocre stuff mechanically
developed in plot, acting and settings.
But when they became program fea
tures they too frequently lose their
right to be called features, and be
come 'programs,' like their predeces
sors." >
