GERMANY MAKES SIGNIFICANT MOVE.
Plans the Laying of Submarine Gable Azores to Dutcb

lea Regarded Straw in the Wind

REPUBLI SPECIAL
Washington. Dec. l2-Germany IS plan
ming the laying OF submarine cable from
the Azores to Dutch Guiana. This state
ment emanates from high authority and
is extremely significant at this time
Germany has entered upon a vigorous
policy of constructing or inducing the con-
struction by German capital of submarine
cables. in order that she may not be de-
pendent upon English cables in time OF
war.
Heretofore her efforts in this direction
have been devoted to the establishment of
alderman cable connections with her pos
sessions in Asia, but now she proposes an
alderman cable to South America. where
her interests are very great.
Naval and army officers here who were
Informed of Germany's latest plan to-day
expressed the keenest interest. They de-
clare that II was in line with her previous
policy, and might easily be taken to indi-
cate that Germany feared a time was COM
ing when her affairs in South America
would be in such condition that the Berlin
Government would feel the imperative need

said that the two prizes taken by the Ger
man Commodore had been sunk, and they
express the hope that no British ships took
part in the sinking OF those vessels.
The Foreign Office discIaims responsibility
for the sinking of the Venezuelan vessels OF
La Guayra. which it attributes entirely to
the German forces
1t is understood that nearly all OF the
Venezuelan news which the British Govern
ment gets comes through the State Depart
ment at Washington and Is based on Minis

There is already a cable to the Azores
from Europe which Is under Germany 9
control and the laying Of another cable from
the Azores to Dutch Guiana will provide a
direct line under German control, inasmuch
as the Netherlands are friendly to GERMANY
and thoroughly controlled by German in
fuence.
Major A. D. Max Schlaginweit Of the Ger
man army, in an article on Germany's cable
expansion in the Azian, a European maga-
zine, said:
THE ownership Of our own cable line has
become a necessity from the standpoint of
national defense as well as in the interests
Of commerce. How is it possible to COM
pete with other nations in the commerce of
the world when the cable service is in the
hands Of foreign Power. and two-thirds
of the total cable lines are in English
hands?
How is 1t possible in event Of war to
notify our vessels to enable them to gain
place Of safety or to communicate at
the right place and proper time if We do not
possess reliable cable connection with trans
oceanic countries?'

CHILDHOOD OF sEMsRlcH.
How the Poor Little Polish Girl spen
Her Savings to Hear Patti.

How the Poor Little Polish Girl Spen
Her Savings TO Hear Patti.
Many years ago n poor little Polish
girl, i'll clad, Ill fed cold and weary.
was devoured by n desire to hear the
singing Of Adelina Patti. the greatest
soprano of her time. The poor little
Polish girl could not afford to buy a
reserved seat for the performance, yet
somehow she must hear 1t, for perhaps
never again would the radiant queen
of song come to shine upon that far
away little city. And so the poor little
Polish girl gathered up the savings Of
many months. which she had earned
by sleepless nights and pitiable drudg
cry. hammering her little fingers TO
numbness playing dance music for
well-to-do people, and with the meager
hoard she clutched in those same tired
fingers, she stood for five hours in the
bitter cold with the line of people wait
ing for the gallery entrance to open.
Then with the crowd, pushing and
painting, she was thrown, trampled,
beaten up the stairs her little savings
gone, and the precious ticket given up,
till she found herself huddled away in
a corner of the gallery.
And then she heard Patti and for
two brief hours the sordid earth be-
came paradise, such a paradise as
the poor little Polish girl hoped to
reach. perchance, beyond the portals of
death.
To-day Adelina Patti is growing old
and has left the operate stage and the
poor little Polish girl is everywhere ac-
claimed as the greatest woman singer
of the time; for the cold, tired, hungry,
eager, little Marcella Kokhansky is
now the famous Marcella Sembrich,
the queen of song. The once cold and
tired fingers now sparkle with dia-
monds and the weary little feet no
longer stand waiting at the gates of
the halls of music.
The child who once could barely save
Torrance, says the Pilgrim, now re-
| ceives 81 800 for each appearance In
| opera, and has been paid as much as
$1,000 to sing two songs in concert.
And when she gives a song recital, in
which she stands alone on platform
and sings to piano accompaniment
songs of Schubert, Schumann, and
Brahms, people go miles to hear her
and hundreds are turned away, unable
to gain entrance to the hall.
Once Nine. Sembrich told Nine. Patti
how she had waited in the line before
that memorable appearance, and Nine.
Patti said:
ooh, you poor girl, why didn't you
write to me and ask me for ticket?
would have given you one gladly"
But" said Nine. Sembrich, after
| telling me Of this, 81 am afraid she
| would not have thought a second time
Of my letter. You see. no one knew
me then"
