THADDEUS STEVENS
INV GRIF'FTTH'S PLAY

One Of the dominant figures In the
story of The Birth Of Nation,
which begins weeks engagement at
the Illinois theatre tonight. is that Of
Thaddeus Stevens, at that time a rep
.TesentatiYe III congress from the Lam
caster. Pa, district, and for the great
er period OF the Civil war, was chair
man Of the ways and means committee
In the lower house of congress, there

publican party on the floor Of the
house. II often requires a great crisis
TO bring out Of men their true charac~
ter and their strength Of character is
measured by what they do on great &C
casions Stevens developed into one
/ of the most pronounced abolitionists
( in the country. He was man of many
pecuIiarities. He was born cripple
club fOot-and this may have been the
reason why he was not particularly
amiable in his temperament, He was
a man of strong convictions and was
an avowed enemy Of the institution of
4 slavery, and too often. probably, ex-
hibited feelings Of intense hatred
against the southern people because
slavery prevailed in the southern
states,
Mr.. Stevens was man Of rare men
tai power, but historians have said of
him that he was not always well bal
anced, that in some respects he ex-
hibited true craftsmanship, while up
on other occasions his narrowness of
mind INSTRUCTED what might otherwise
have been more extended vision of
governmental affairs Little was
known Of Stevens's birth. From those
who know him best the information
has been handed down that he was, in
truth, an iiIegitjmate son Of Tallyrand
the great French statesman and dip
lomat and advisor 10 Napoleon [, who
came to this country in the early part
of the Nineteenth century few years
after the French revolution, remaining
here some two or three years, and
much of his time was spent in and
about Lancaster and other portions Of
the eastern part of Pennsylvania. ANY.
thing approaching the History OF the
Civil war. with the picturesque char
acter Of Thaddeus Stevens omitted
would be grave mistake, and to make
the illustration as true to life as pos.
sible MFR. Griffith was wise enough Il

To blockade Is Not
Idea, Says Germany

Berlin-The naval measures Of Ger
many against British commerce are in
no sense a blockade. No hostile ac-
tion against neutral shipping is con-
templated. German warships and sub
marines will endeavor by every means
in their power to avoid sinking Amer
lean or other neutral ships and will
take every precaution to avoid mis-
take.
The above may be taken as the cor
rect interpretation placed upon the
German proclamation in Berlin.
The proclamation declaring the wa
ters around Great Britain to be war
zone like similar British measures
which were taken as precedent, Is
designed, it is asserted. to warn neu-
trails that a ship venturing into the
naval field of operations exposes itself
to the risk of being struck by q chance
shot.
1t was said that it might be safely
asserted that the Germans have no in
tention of sinking an American ship
unless she is carrying contraband OF
war, and then only if her crew can be
given the possibility of escape.
The warning to neutral shipping, 1t
was asserted, was considered as par
ticularly needed in view Of che report
ed order to British ships to hoist
neutral flag whenever they are in dam
ger, an order which, If adhered to, it
was stated, would make it difficult for
q German warship to discriminate be-
tween hostile and neutral shipping.

some slight news value attached to the
organization Of the new German
American league. Later II was
learned that the news would be con-
fined to statement ''in English" set
ting forth the tenents of the new Ger
man. American political creed.
These tenents when announced said
that the new American neutrality was
in favor Of a ''free and open sea for
American commerce and unrestricted
traffic In non-contraband goods; the
immediate enactment Of legislation
prohibiting expectation Of munitions
Of war and the establishment Of an
American merchant marine.
The real sting came in when the last
few paragraphs Of the resolutions
adpoted by the league, which set forth
that the league and its members
pledge themselves, individually and
collectively. to support only such can
didates for public Office. irrespective
Of party, who will place American in
terests above those Of any other coun-
try, and who will aid in eliminating

World Police idea AdUO-
Gated by Earl Grey

London - Earl Grey, foreign secre-
tary. presiding at q meeting held to
advocate an agreement among the ma
tions for the enforcement Of interna-
tional law, said that the present con-
fiict probably never would have taken
place had the policy Of American pa
cificists, that the signatory nations to
The Hague conventions should under
take collective responsibility for the
enforcement, been adopted.
SIT is almost certain" said Earl
Grey, that this logical and necessary
complement of The Hague tribunal viii
be adpoted when the nations again
meet in consultation.
THE neutral powers who signed The
Hague conventions missed great OPP
portunity by not protesting against the
violations Of international regulations
that occurred in this war, which un-
doubtedly would have led to q diminu-
tion of its horrors.
A resolution was adopted declaring
it to be imperative that peace be
established which shall secure collec-
tive responsibility by all civilized ma
tions for the maintenance and enforce
ment Of international law"

Mr.. Bartholdt said England had en-
