quently interrupted by tremendous ap-
plause. Herr Helfferich warned the ma
ton not to underestimate the magnitude
of the financial and economic task laid
upon the empire by the war. He added,
however. that the whole nation is unani-

to- has been won and the enemy shall
be forced to cry Enough
He said: 1T is not within the limits of
the possible that Germany later will be

Subscriptions to the next war loan
will be opened at the end of the month.
Germany has already spent more than
l35, .00o. 600 marks, obtained by the first
two loans. On the other hand, Germany's
position is strengthened by the fact that
the surplus for l9l4-l5 is much higher than
forecast 1t amounts to 2lsoOO.000 marks,

Police to Stop All Sunday
Vaudeville and Burlesque
MAJ Pullman Orders Strict Enforcement Of the Law Pro-
hibtng Such Performances Members of Force
Will Act as Censors Today.

The death knell has been sounded fol
Sunday vaudeville and burlesque per.
formances in the District.
Maj. Raymond w. Pullman, superin.
tendent of police. passed out the word
yesterday that the much-abused and
neglected law prohibiting such per-
formances on the Sabbath is to be en-
forced strictly. The lid is to be showed
on tight. The, major has made up his
mind to that.
Members of the police force today
will assume the role of theatrical CEN
sors. They will visit all the theaters
watch every gesture of the actresses
listen to every little word of the roll
licking songs, and, in short, keep their
eyes and ears open for the reception
OF erything-absolutely everything
Then they will report to the major.
They will tell whether the songs were
decent or otherwise, whether the ac-
tors and actresses wore stage cos
tunes. and whether the shows were
legal or illegal.
All this is to be preparatory work. II

They acknowledge that the average
man seems to complain of the reckless
ness of Americans who travel on Brit
ish vessels.
Another circumstance to which a good
deal of significance is being attached is
the small number of kilograms and let
ters that have come to the President on
this latest German attack on American
life. When the Lusitania was sent to
the bottom of the Atlantic. a veritable
food of kilograms and letters poured in
upon the White House. Clerks were
busy for days sorting these communica-
tions, and the President found in them
considerable satisfaction when the time
came for him to decide upon the course
this government was to follow.
So far only eight or ten communica-
tions have been received at the White
House on the sinking of the Arabic.
While the correspondence that reaehes
the White House is usually regarded by
Washington authorities as a pretty good
barometer of the state of public opinion,
it is acknowledged that the present situa-
tion presents unusual features. Many in
Washington interpret the few letters re-
ceived on the case of the Arabic, not as
an evidence of abatement of public feel
ing. but rather as indicating the conf
dence which the American public has in
President Wilson to handle the situation
in a way that will best protect American
interests and maintain the dignity of the
country. These men argue that the si-
lence of the American people, so far as
communicating with the White House is
concerned. is the highest possible COM
plinent to the President. They also con-
tend that the American feeling over the
submarine issue is merely slumbering
and that. once it receives a clear call
from President Wilson. there will be no
doubt of the temper of the country.
These are the two views of the situa-
ton that are now being considered by
the President and his advisers and II is
admitted that definite analysis is diff

New developments in the investiga-

which, it was thought, would be
brought to an end with grand jury
action early this week. Attaches OF
the District attorneys office refuse to

of the investigation and what II Is
likely to lead to- but 1t Is significant
that the plans Of the office to end the
probe the latter part of last week
and present the criminal aspects to
the grand jury tomorrow or Tuesday
have fallen through
Several new witnesses have been ex-
amined within the last two days, a
few of them being women of the Dis
trict's former red light" section. Tes-
timony given by some of the new
witnesses corroborated the cases which
have been prepared for the grand
jury, but the most important affidavits
were those which developed the new
turn to the investigation. which prob
ably will affect members of the force
higher than privates.
The established cases will be pre-
sented to the grand jury probably up
on the return to Washington of Dis
trict Attorney Laskey. either today
or tomorrow.

DRESS ECONOMY DID 1T.
Jacques Worth VIII Close His London
Branch

London, Aug 13.-Jacques Worth.
the widely-known French dressmaker.
lis going to close his London branch at
the end of August in consequence of
the slump in business. caused by the
war. He says that he foresaw at
the outset that certain economies on
the part of buyers were likely. but the
lack of business has far surpassed his
expectations The loss of American
customers following the Lusitania dis
aster also caused serious loss In his
business, but the last straw, he says.
was the organization of the Women's
Dress Economy League among FASH
ionable women. The Arm thinks that
the economy being practiced in Eng
land Is SURPRISING reasonable limits,
and that the people are forgetting the
number OF employees thus made idle.
In the case OF Worth's Arm this Is
especially serious. because most OF. his
employees are French, and do not
speak English. They have their homes
and families in London. and are quite
incapable of other trades.
