Hun Admiral Points
to Navy's "Suicide"
London, May 2 3.—"Suicide" is the
wor duaed by the German naval au
thorities to describe what it would
mean for the kaiser's navy to attempt
to interfere with the transport of al
lied troops and munitions across the
English .channel.
Rear Admiral Karl Hollweg says:
"A voluntary attempt to remove
certain geographical limitations."
argues, "would signify a heroic
but useless suicide for the German
fleet. The distance from Germas har
bors is too great for the regular and
frequent attacks which alone could
cause continuous interruption of
channel traffic. A small German fleet
cannot remain long in the channel,
for submarines and mines would
reap a rich harvest among it and,
after being cut oft, it would be com
pelled to accept battle witr over
whelming British forces in unfavor
able circumstances."

With reports of subscriptions made
by rt-ams at the noon luncheon to
day, this district has subscribed more
than SIO,OOO to the Second War
Fund. The district's quota is SCO,- j
000. and from present indications this j
amount, in addition to several thou- !
sand dollars, will be subscribed be- !
fore the close of the campaign.
The reports made by teams at noon i
follow: T. T. McEntee. $169.16: F. I
E. Howells, $1,043.50: J. A. McCurdy. |
$369.25: T. X. Nelley. $594: M. A. Cum- j
bier. $717.75. The total number of
subscriptions reported to-dav was
$4,420.66.
That employes of the local steel
plant are working shoulder to shoul
der In the Se<cond Red Cross War i
Fund drive is emphasized by the fact
that a large amount of campaign
literature which was alloted the de
partments at the opening of the cam
paign has been entirely used up and
demands have been made for addl- i
tional material. No official reports 1
have been Issued by department |
heads about the results up to thisj
time, but committeemen say that the
subscriptions have been iarge and
some of the departments will likely
reach the 100 per cent, mark in the
drive.
More interest is taken in this fund
drive by steelworkers than In pre
vious campaigns for contributions.
Superintendents and foremen in the j
various departments have found that i
the "match me" idea is a good one |
and are of the opinion that this j
method of getting the men interest- I
ed will likely result in assisting
Steelton to "go over the top."
Encouraged by reports from plant
solicitors, members of the teams ap- j
pointed to canvass in the borough to- j
day were working hard in order to j
have clean slates at the close of the j
drive on Monday. These' teams, al- I
though handicapped to some extent
by having so many steelworkers on !
their lists, who subscribed in the j
plant drive, are doing splendid work ,
and from all accounts wil surprise ;
other teams with they- reports by the

HOW SPECTACLES
ARE REHEARSED
Producing Circus Extrava
ganza Is Task of Corps
of Stage Managers
Keeping track of a cast of more
than a thousand actors and several
hundred lrorses is tar from an easy
task and people frequently ask how
this feat is accomplished by those
who direct Ringling Brothers' gigantic
production of "In Days of Old." Like
all other things in connection with a
circus, it is purely a matter of svs
tem. .
Let it be supposed that the reader
is attending a rehearsal of the big
pantomime. On an elevated plat
form. placed In' 'front of the stage,
stands the director general surround
ed by his assistants. These assist
ants Include the master of the ballet,
the superintendent of vehicles, direc
tor of foot and mounted guards, mas
ter of the horse, chief electrician,
master and mistress of wardrobe,
master of properties and trappings,
the stage director, and a number of
other lieutenants.
While the director general is per
sonally acquainted with some mem
bers of the gigantic cast, he for the
most part knows the players solely by
groups and divisions. He thinks In
big numbers. He may say. "Bring on
the king's guards." And since he
must at all times keep the entire pro
duction in mind this, to him. means
merely a company of plumed and belt
ed men mounted on coal black
chargers. But the master of the
mounted guards, who has personally
trained this division, knows every
guard by name; yet. and every horse.
He has drilled theth Individually. The
director general-rehearses them solely
as a single unit in a great ensemble.
"Give us the amber flood lights." calls
the director. He knows the effect that
he wants, but it is the chief elec
trician who is alone familiar with
every switch and lamp which must be
operated to produce the result re
quired.
"There should be four more sets of
girls in that waltz of flowers." comes
from the director general. Immedi
ately there is a consultation between
the master of the ballet and the mis
tress of the wardrobe, and by the time
the rehearsal again calls for the young
ladies who appear in this particular
portion of the spectacle, the "four
more sets" are there, dressed In Just
the right costumes. •
The director general of this season's
spectacle, which will open the main
tent program when the circus ex
hibits here Tuesday, June 11. is
Charles Ringling. He is particularly
partial to horses. "Bring on more
horses, we want more horses," he will
call, as the work goes on. And since
the Ringling Rrothers travel more
than- 700 splendid animals he does not I
call in vain. It is the great number!
of beautiful thoroughbreds with their j
gorgeous trappings that make the "In \
Days of Old" processionals so remark
able. The pageants and the extraordi
nary ballets are probably the most un- j
usual features of the mammoth pro
duction. Not one person is ever re
cruited locally for the spectacle cast.

shown as the of Huns. To

"The Jazz Nightmare" is the title of
a feature vaudeville act that began
a three days' engagement
At the at the Majestic Theater to-
Majestic lay. "The Jrfzz Nightmare"
is a musical comedy in
which seven persons take part. It is
predicted as one of the best laughing
acts of the summer season. Surround
ing this act are a variety of turns that
include plenty to look at, plenty to
listen to and to laugh at. JosT>hine
Leanord is a clever little girl who
takes high rank as a mimmic. Weber

The Valedons do a comedy .bicycle act.
and Roy and Harvey present a sketch
entitled "Rained In." Charley Chap

his funny pictures.
One of the best pictures that
a return showing. It presents clearly
ter for some time is "Lest
At the We Forget." which was
Colonial presented yesterday for
the first time, and which
will continue to-day and to-morrow.
In this picture Rita Jollvet gives an
accurate version of her experiences
on the Lusitania when that magnifi
cent steamship was hit by a German
torpedo and sunk in mid-ocean. Miss
Jolivet was a passenger on the ship,
and through mechanical contrivances
the film company has been able to re
produce on the screen scenes that
took place during the terrible mo
ments that accompanied the vessel's
doom. The picture also delves into
the brutality of German warfare,
showing the areatment by the German
soldiers of the women they accosted In
Belgium.
No more fertile subject of comedy
has been afforded the American author
and playwright
"The Smarter Set" than that fur
nished by the
Afro-American. Black-faced comedy
is put on the country over by men and
women of more or less ability in this
line, and when ably presented never
fails to make a hit. On Saturday next
the patrons of the Orpheum will be
given an opportunity to see this com
edy of the Afro-American nature, to
gether with something of its more
serioua side, portrayed by membera ot
'My Four Years in Germany'
tfpSftr Ambassador
GERARD
Ambassador James W. Gerard's Story
Will Be Pictured On the Screen of
the Orpheum All Next Week
To those who may feel inclined to
criticise the act of Ambassador James
W. Gerard, in permitting his story ot
"My Four Years in Germany," to be
pictured on the screen, this explana
tion from his own lips may be satis
factory:
"I was impressed," said Mr. Ger
ard, in a recent talk to a gathering
of film representatives, "by the eager
ness shown by the thousands of peo
ple who flocked to hear my lectures,
to learn about the inside history of
this gigantic struggle of nations, and
my interest in this film production is
so great, because I realize the vast
ness of the audiences reached in the
motion picture theater, and ths thor
oughness and reality with which my
story is told in the film.
"If there be any American in whose
mind there is still a question of the
necessity of America's entry into this
war, the production will settle that
question forever.
"It shows Prussianism as it really is
—the Kaiser, whose oath is worth
nothing, whether he pledges himself
as monarch or man; Tirpitz, Hinden
burg and the imperial ring.
"It shows the iron hand of Prus
sianism on the German people, the
outrages on women and children in
Belgium and France, the systematic
starvation of prisoners, the deporta
tion and enslaving of non-combatants,
the deliberate ravaging of towns and
countries, the sinking of neutral ships
and the attitude of the Emperor and
his clique toward America before the
war was declared or ever dreamed of.
"It I * because *1 wlh the people to
Ihe Informed that 1 have consented
i that this picture be made. There ate
j too many thinkers, writer* and apeuk
] era in the I nlted States. From now
j on we need the workers, the doer*
and the renllsts, who alone can win
I thla contest for democracy and per
manent peace."
This Is why for the first time In his
tory nn Ambassador ha* Iteen allowed
to make public the ln*lde history of
diplomacy In wartime. The eipol
tlon ha* had the sanction of the I'real
dent of the I nlted State*, who. with
hi* Cabinet anil officials In Washing
ton. saw the film.
The things that Ambassador Gerard
saw and experienced are, Washington
diplomats say, faithfully reproduced
or. the screen. The numerous charac
ters. most of whom are now promi
nent in the news and history of the
day. are carefully portrayed, from
Ambassador Gerard and the Kaiser to
the father of I'-boat horrors. Von
Tirpitz.
this race. "The Smarter Set" will pre
sent a new musical creation called
"My People," in music and mirth of a
race, and is headed by Salem Whitney
and J. Homer Tutt, who are supported
by a strong aggregation of colored
talent. Whitney is considered to be
one of the funniest colored comedians
on the American stage, and tills one
of the leading roles, while the chorus
consists of dark-skinned girls who
have never been seen here before.
At the Regent Theater to-day, win
some Vivian Martin is appearing for
the last time in her
Viviun Mnrtin latest Paramount
at the Regent release, "A Pettt-
coat Pilot." This
picture, which was directed by Roland
Sturgeon, is different from anything
Miss Martin has yet attempted. She
grows within a space of five reels
from a pig-tailed youngster, who loves
a weird rag doll, to a rather fashion
able. self-assured young miss, who
rules her three adopted uncles with
a rod of iron and a charming smile.
Miss Martin is Exported by a splen
did cast, including Theodore Roberts,
the "grand old man of the screen;"
James Neill. Harrison Ford and others.
To-morrow and Saturday a double
show is scheduled. "Fatty" Arbuckle
will appear in his latest comedy en
titled "Moonshine." In his new com
edy. "Fatty" has another picture
which is expected to repeat the suc
cess of his recent photo-comedies.
"The Golden Goal." featuring Harry
Morey and Florence Deshon, will also
be shown.
Yankee Planes Under
Own Power Are Soon to
Fly to Scene of War
Washington. —American seaplanes,
under their own power, shortly will
fly across the Atlantic. This will be
one of the biggest contribution of
the United States to the war. These
machines already are traveling the
air from the factories to ports of
departure. American aviators have
been anxious to make the complete
trip across. But they have been held
up because of the problem of fuel.
Now a plan has been devised
whereby parent ships will be sent
out to certain agreed-on stations.
They will furnish oil and gas to the
seaplanes which will make the cross
ocean trip on regular schedule.
Just when the innovation will be
put into effect cannot, of course, be
stated. It is a matter on which
officials do not care to dwell at the
present time. However, it was point
ed out to-day that this plan will
save a great deal of deck space on
cargo carriers, while it also will save
the time of the men who have to
assemble these giant machines on
the other side.
In their proposed flights across
the ocean the American seaplanes
will have the complete co-operation
of the British and Canadian au.
thorities. Starting and landing
stages are to be constructed at
agreed-upon points, while the Brit
ish cruiser squadron which patrols
the steamship lanes of the North At
lantic will keep watch for the trans
ocean planes.
The entire problem of flights. It is
learned, will be worked out to a
mathematical certainty,, so that the
maximum of protection 'for the flyers
and their machines will be afforded.

ON DRIVER'S LAP
Flatbush Resident Tells Of
What She Saw on Screened
Platform
New York.—Evidence of an unex
pected character was presented to
the Kings county grand jury which
is investigating the charges of vice
made against a certain element of
the R. R. T. women conductors.
District Attorney Lewis brought a
woman resident of Flatbush before
the grand jury and, it is understood,
she repeated in detail the remark
able story she had related to de
tectives and mounted policemen.
The witness, whose name is with
held so that she may 'be saved from j
annoyance, is the mother of an eight
year-old boy, whose morals, she said,
were in danger of being corrupted by
the things he saw and heard while a
passenger on Flatbush avefiue cars.
It is understood she gave a com
plete description of a young and i
good-looking conductorette whom
she had found in a compromising
situation on the front platform of a
Flatbush avenue car. The witness
said he and her son boarded the
car at Avenue A and East Forty
ninth street about 8 o'clock at night.
Oil Platform, Shut From View
After the car had turned down
Flatbush avenue the conductorette
went out on the front platform with
the motorman. As usual, the shades
[ had been drawn to keep the interior
illumination from interfering with
the raotorman's vision.
The conductorette was still on the
platform ten minutes later, when the
woman passenger wanted to get out.
She opened the front door. The con
ductorette was sitting on the motor
man's lap and hf was paying more
attention to her tnan to his car. This
incident was reported to the H. R. T.,
but the woman conductor is still on
the line.
Two weeks ago the Flatbush
woman was returning home about 6
in the afternoon. Near a police
booth she saw a mounted patrolman,
standing beside his horse, talking
with a conductorette in uniform.
The witness said she was dum
founded by the policeman's behavior
toward the woman conductor, but
tlie latter, instead of resenting his
overfamiliarity, laughed and con
tinued talking with him.
The witness said her son had told
her of kissing and hugging which he
had. seen in a car barn.
Slie<i Figures in Stories
Testimony also was presented that
women conductors had been seen
coming out of a small shed behind
a police booth. The names of the
policemen seen coming out of this
shed with conductorettes were sub
mitted to the grand jury.
Three motormen who had made
incriminating statements to detect
ives or had been mentioned by other
witnesses were before the grand jury
and will probably be called again.
