protect herself regardless of means
but simply in accordance with the
first law of nature. The English must
be terrorized into reasonableness. is
Won Tirpitz's real message to the
world. He defines how this can be
done. He wants to know what Amer
lea would say if Germany ordered her
submarines TO torpedo England's mer-
chant marine II has been recog-
nized rule of modern warfare that
unarmed ships of the enemy cannot
be sunk unless all souls aboard are
rescued. Won Tirpitz's proposition is
to make submarine raids against
these trading vessels and torpedo
them as warships are torpedoed, send
ing all souls to the bottom.
Only n condition of desperation can
explain a suggestion of this character
being made by the responsible head of
the German navy. It is q final hope
which Won Tirpitz is preparing to at
tempt. If other means fail of bringing
nome to England the disastrous conse-
quences of an indcterminate war, Won
lirpitz seems to believe there would be
no difficulty in sinking enough mer-
chantmen and their crews to terro7ize
England. He says German submarines
have circlcd the British Isles. This
being true, their radius OF action is I'M
doubtedly sufficient for them to prey
on the trade routes close to the English
coast.
In the light of Won Tirpitz's state
ment, it may be that one Of the princi-
pal reasons for the German raid on
the Yorkshire coast was to determine
how the worlds neutral opinion would
regard the slaughter of non-combatants
as final effort of self-preservation.

During the session of the Levy
Court today, Martin r. Smith, Demo-
cratic commissioner from the Fifth

diatribe against THE EVENING

had been criticized editorially for
permitting the shutting off of vehicle
traffic across the canal at st. Georges
while a new bridge was being built.
The editorial was based upon a pro-

filed with the Levy Court by many

aSINNERS.v

The seat sale for Sinners" the
new American play in which William
A. Brady's stock company will APP
pear at The Playhouse the week OF
December % with matinees Wednes-
day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday
has been large and from present in
dications the company is destined TO
break all records for a stock com
pany In this city. AS a matter OF
fact II will be a bad investment for
Mr.. Brady II II don't. for the company
is the most expensive and the play
one OF the best which has ever been
placed in a city the size Of Whining
ton. But Mr.. Brady Is not content
with an ordinary production. His
reputation has been made by doing
big things, by doing daring things
which the average manager would
not attempt. He is unwilling that
his name should be linked with any
thing but what is good.
Selecting a company for stock
which is composed of actors who are
New York favorites, with a star like
Alice Brady in the cast and then pro-
ceeding TO produce a play which has
never before been acted on any
stage Is rather new departure In
the stock company line. The usual
plan Is 10 select people from another
stock company and then to secure a
play which has had its run in the
large cities and has gone Off the road
That is not the Brady idea and that
Is why he has selected a company
OF New York favorites and selected an
absolutely new show for presentation
In Wilmington. The price of ad-
mission for this same company in
the same play IL the attraction was
on the road would be double what is
10 be charged at The Playhouse.
OF course II is expected that the
stock season at The Playhouse will
be a success and there is every rea-
son why It should be. for Wilmington
has seen nothing better than what
is TO be offered Wilmington has had
stock before. but il never had COM
pany like this. and II has never seen
stock productions made as will be
those at The Playhouse. Every neces-
sary detail will be watched. the scenic
equipment and the accessories will
be perfect and there will be no diff
ference between this and any first
class company which appears in a
high class theatre.
