James A. Patten is now heing

Conductors found it almost Impossible

a conductor gave the job up entirely
as the train approached the city.
This mornings trains were even
better filled than those of last night,
ii such condition were possible. At
II o'clock two more regular trains
from the north brought hundreds upon

GERMAN PATRIOTS HISS
DU MAURIER'S PLAY
IAN EngIIohmsn's Home" Depicting
British Valor, Jeered Attest Class
Of Berlin Society in Audience.

Berlin. April 12.-Germany Sunday
night retorted angrily, through the me-
dium OF the theater, to England's pol.
Icy Of pin pricks, pursued through
press and parliament for the past six
months. Mai DuMaurier, by his play,
IAN Englishman's Home" has en-
deavored to arouse England to a sense
OF her military weakness by showing
In the theater what would happen
when Germany invaded England.
DuMaurier's play was produced at
the Neues theater Sunday night, and
1t produced the greatest racket Berlin
has ever witnessed at a theatrical per-
Torrance. The play was Kissed, howl
ed and jcered at from start to finish.
The noise became a tumult in the sec
end act, when the English volunteers
entered, and from then until the cur
tain went down on the last act tho
noise was so great that the actors
and actresses could not be heard.
Sunday nights demonstration was
most significant because the audience
was made up of the best classes OF
Berlin society, including several Off.
Gals Of the imperial court. The Off
cial news agencies are busy Sunday
night circulating the impression that
the hostile demonstration had no anti
English bearing. The fact, however
remains that this was the first oppor-
tunity a German audience had to ex.
press It's vehement disapprobation Of
the present hostility of the English
press and parliament to everything
German.
The reception of Sunday nights per-
Torrance may be remembered here
after as Germany's first reply TO Eng
lands belief that Germany's sole pres
ent ambition. military. naval and in
dustrial, IS the invasion of England
with or without a casus billi.
