GERMANS DESTROY
BRITISH WARSHIP

CONTINUED From First Page)
single submarine has got Its torpedo
home.
'Of course, when the circumstances
are revealed it may be found that the
unlucky battleship had stopped or had
slowed down for some purpose and
thus presented herself as a target for
a torpedo.
IMPOSSIBLE TO GUARD
AGAINST CONTINGENCY
IF. on the other hand. the vessel
ran upon mine, we are faced with
the alternative either that it was one
of our own, or that within the last day
or two some vessel, presumably under
neutral colors. has Slipped through the
channel and strewn il with these ma
chimes. Ii is conceivable that owing
TO the bad weather that has prevailed
some mines from our own field to the
east OF the Straits of Dover have be-
come disanchored and are floating
about the channel. This Is a contin-
gency against which it appears impos-
sible TO guard. except by the constant
employment of mine sweepers in those
waters used by our ships.
One would almost rather, however,
believe that the mishnp was due to the
activity of the enemy's Submarines
than TO one OF our own mines. There
is another matter which seems to call
for attention. Our ships necessarily
are exposed to the dangers of torpe-
does and mines and our seamen un-
/ fiinchingly accept all risks. but 1t had
been hoped that some further provi-
sions have been made on board for
the purpose of saving life. The action
of mines and torpedoes has been very
different on different ships. Some
times, as in the cases of the Niger and
the Admiral Guteame there has been
time to save nearly everybody. and
again, In the cases of the Pathfinder
and the Hawke, nearly everybody was
lost.
Something might be done for self
preservation by a supply OF RATS and
life belts Such means, however. must
fail when the blow is sudden and the
destruction complete
Every fresh occurrence of this ma
ture shows that new conditions have
been introduced into naval warfare
with the advent of the mine and the
submarine. These weapons already
have necessitated changes in our tao
ties. and as result of the experiences
gained further changes doubtless will
become necessary"

Hunger for something resembling n

is programmed. in when Old New York

There is no use in attempting criti-
cisin of Mr.. Wilson's performance:
when people like his work they love
it; and when they dislike IT, they de-
test ii. And. 1t is fair to him to say,
he undoubtedly has an enormous fol-
lowing. Nor would all the reviews in
all the newspapers in all the world
abate increase or change in the
miEutest degree the opinion of one
single individual among those who are
entranced by him or among those others
who are irritated by him. You can't
persuade people to like the taste OF
cold coffee, nor can you dissuade others
from passion for grape Juice. It's
, all n question of personal taste.

further said that he didn't claim to
have Il Broadway production. and
couldn't afford to employ Broadway
actors-"especially under present con-
ditions"-but that the audiences seemed
tolikc his production. his company and
-he added, with an air Of genuine
modesty-himself I do not write this
in spirit oc sarcasm. but very sin
cerely), and that he, therefore, felt
satisfied. Certainly the audiences were
more than satisfied.
For the rest, he was the same Metz
only he didn't wear yellow wig But
that curtain speech. with its debonair
candor and manly defense against an
anticipated 'panning," was the best
thing I've ever heard him do.

CHILD SAVED AT zoo
Keepers Alertness Rescues Girl From
Animals Gage,

Animals Cage.
People who went out to the Zoo In Fair
mount Park yesterday we're treated to
9 disappointment. q surprise and a shock.
The frst was sad blow, the second was
almost amusing, while the last nearly
proved serious.
The disappointment came when keepers
held up visitors at the gates and took
away their supply of peanuts. Many peo-
pie had laid In stock for the distinct
purpose OF feeding them to the bears, ele-
plants and monkeys. but the keepers
blame tho peanuts for the indigestion that
has been going around among the beasts,
so they were tabooed.
The surprise was to see tigeress that
has habit OF eating its own tail. This
Is what Juliet, the prize tigress, has been
doing for a month"; and she has now con-
sumed about n inches Of her extremity.
The shock came when s-year-old Ella
Browning, Of Reading, wandered into the
deer cage when the animals were being
fed. The child saved itself by crawling
into 9 feed box until Keeper Bruno, risk
Ing his life. ran Into the cage. picked her
up and carried her TO safety before the
deer could recover from their astonish-
ment.
