Consul Frosts report shows that at
! least one, and possibly two Americans
were on board, although no Americans
were killed, so far aS is known in view
of all the circumstances, II is regarded
as the duty OF the United States Gov
ernment to demand an explanation Of
, the act of the German submarine in
this ieopardizing the lives Of the Ameri-
cans on board
Particular notice was taken OF the fact
that the Hespcrian, like the Arabic was
westbound and therefore it cannot he
charged in defence of the attack on her
that she was carrying munitions of war
to the British forces.
According to the positio nor the United
States Government in this war neither
can the fact that she had a four inch
gun on her stern be citey as evidence
/ that she was properly to he regarded as
vessel OF war. This Government last
fall decided to permit the carriage OF
guns of not more than six inch calibre
on board merchantmen using United
States ports without regarding them as
vessels of war This was particularly
to be the case II the number and posi-
lions of such guns on a vessel indicated
they were purely for defensive purposes.
Under these rules one four inch geun

DISMAY IN WASHINGTON
OVER ATTACK ON LINER
Gravity of German Situation, Supposedly Ended by
Won Bernstorf's Pledge for His Government Re-
garded as Renewed-Explanation Awaited

WASnINGToS, Sept 5.--lt is the belief
In Washington tonight that the tor
pedolng of the Allan liner Hesperan
by German submarine has destroyed
at one blow the beautiful structure of
peace and amlty built up in Washing
ton during the last two weeks through
the efforts of The German Ambassador.
Officials were dismayed AZ the first
reports Of the torpedolng OF the Hes
perian. and permitted themselves the
hope that these were not true until AN
official report was received from Con-
sui Frost AT Queenstown this evening.
II is now regarded that matters stand
exactly where they did after the Arabic
was sunk by a German submarine. This
Government will look to Berlin to aN-
plain how 1t was that, while the Ger
man Ambassador here has represented
that German submarines were not to at
tack liners without warning and with
regard to those on board, liners haze
been so attacked twice within less than
three weeks.
The state Department received only
brief despatch on the incident to-
night. This does not make all details
clear but the conclusion was draw
from II that the liesperan was attacked
without warning. II is assumed here
that, II warning had been given, no one
would have been killed, and also that,
having warned all on board to take to
boats, the submarine would have fired
enough torpedoes TO insure sinking the
vessel, This has been the case in previ-
Gus cases, where warning was given.

an interview with Secretary Of State

James T.. j.. Archibald, the American
correspondent, happened to be the bearer
of secret dispatches 10 the Imperial Aus
trian Government. and also to explain
what was meant by the letter written
by DR. Dumba In New York on August
20 to Foreign Minister Burian in
Vienna. suggesting that embarrassment
could be caused the munition plants
through the calling out of men of Aus
tro-Ilungarian citizenship.
Dr. pumba was not at all perturbed
by the messages from London giving the
contents of documents taken from
Archibald. To newspaper correspond
ents he admitted writing the letter and
said in a jocose way. II can't under
stand how Archibald could have been
so stupid
Dr. Dumba attaches very little i'm

don and seeks the interview with Sec
rotary Of state Lansing for the pur-
pose of pr, venting any garblcd copy
of his letter which Archibald carried

sadurs as good means of communi-

own citizens employed in Bethlehem and

 Of course Katie must be told that Dicky's mother would live with us Queerly enough I dreaded to tell her, but as I knew that I must do so sooner of later, I walked to the kit chen with the determination to get the task out of the way as soon as possible.
 Katie was washing dishes, singing a Polish folk song as she worked. As 1 entered the kitchen she stopped singing and greeted me with bright smile.
 T have news for you Katie," said. "Mr Graham's mother is coming to live with us''
 Katie dropped the cup she was polishing and it shivered into pieces on the floor.
 Why! Katie!" I began. annoyed at her carelessness, but a glance at her face stopped me. It was quivering with emotion as she stopped and picked up the pieces Please excuse Missis Graham" she said. "I sorry I broke it. I buy you one. I not know vat I do when you say dot"

 No, I not know her, Katie re- piled, "but I no work where any old woman. I not dare sleep in house with old woman"
 I stared at her in amazement. Had the girl gone mad?

ESTELLE MORTON,
 CHARACTER WOMAN

Miss Morton is an actress of vast experience, having played character parts with o. D. Woodward for several seasons at Kansas City. AfterWard came an engag4n ent with B. F. Keith in New York, where she played sev eral seasons. Miss Morton is of very fine family, beautifully educated in every way and she knows nearly every dialect imaginable She is also a fine dresser, and in every way an import ant adjunct to the Lyceum Players. She will have a splendid part as the dashing Alice Harrington in "Un- der Cover', which opens the stock en- gagement on Christmas day at the Lyceum.
 Arthur Vinton, who will appear here for the first time Christmas day, left the stock company at Pittsburg to join the company here and has had splendid training and experience with New York companies. He is six feet three inches tall. Altogether he is a remarkably clever and attractive actor.

LUCY" AT
 PARSONS CHRISTMAS

Julian Eltinge, Americas supreme interpreter of charming young wo- men, is one of the most popular stars On the American stage, comes to this city in his latest success: Cousin Lucy" written by Charles Klein, at the Parsons theater on Christmas, 1oatinee and night. Cousin Lucy'' affords MT. Eltinge the opportunity of appearing both as a likable young man and as a fascinating young woman, but in the new piece there is a more consistent story and a more sustained dramatic interest than was true of his former vehicle.
 In John Corts production of Henry Blossom and Victor Herberts latest comic opera success, "The Princess Pat" which will be heard at the Par sons theater next Monday and Tues day, with a Tuesday matinee, will be found a book that is much more sane and pretentious than is usually obtained for such productions. It contains many bright lines which call for and receive hearty laughs The enjoyment of the occasion will be en- hansed by an augmented Victor Her bert orchestra, and MT. Herbert will personally conduct on the opening night.

SCORES
 HIT AT POLI'S

Robert P. G1eck1er, the new lead ing man of the Poli Players, is one of the best leading men that theater- goers have seen. Although he faced the rather difficult proposition of playing two roles of widely different character in his first week before a Hartford audience, he succeeded ad- mirably in convincing them that the advance notices were not misstate- 1nents for cress critics are those who have seen him are agreed that he possesses unusual ability. In "The Blindness of Virtue,'' which is being presented each afternoon this week, except on Saturday, MT. Gleckler ap- pears as the vicar, role requiring restraint and force at the same time and as this lovable man he complete ly wins his audience. In the evening performances of Fine Feathers (which will be given Saturday after noon also) he portrays the role of the young husband who is forced to dis honesty in business in order to get sufficient money to satisfy his W1tes craving for ease and luxury. This role is tensely dramatic and one Of
 the hardest in which leading man
 has to appear. Next week the Players
 will present the farce: "A Pair of Sixes,' production that is still play ing the 5 theaters with uninter- l rupted success.

Her Becky ranks with Edwin Forests J"I ,ear;" Joseph Jefferson's Rip Van Wrinkle and Richard Mansfelds Cy- rano de Bergerac.'

Can You Imagine a Greater Irony?
 Can you imagine any greater irony than that? This is the ideal of Him for whom Christmas is celebrated. This is His idea o ia festival-"CalI not thy friends nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen nor thy rich neighbors; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee"
 And in our homes on December 25 we shall sit around tables laden to grossness with fine food Our guests will be mostly those who can and will recompense us again. We shall eat until we can eat no more.
 We shall give each other beautiful luxuries and superfluities, and re- ceive the like in return A
 And doubtless we shall smugly sing Christmas carols and read Christmas stories, and talk about the Lord of Christmas.
 It Wasn't Too Late For Scrooge.
 You say it is too late to alter your Christmas; your guests are bidden, your gifts are bought.
 Yes, perhaps it is too late to en- tirely alter it this year, but not too late to infuse a little of the real Christmas spirit into it. The high ways and byways are about you, go out into them and bid someone to your Christmas feast.
 Buy a few gifts for those "who cannot recompense thee."
 And next year do one of two things Radically alter your Christ mas or cease this snug pretending to yourself that you are celebrating Christ's holiday.

Christ and Christmas
A ZH CAMERON

It IS often said that part of the meaning in what we read comes out or ourselves, out of our past experi- ence and present state of mind.
 Doubtless, if I had read the verses l am going to quote in any other month of the year except in Decem- Der, they wouldn't have cried out of the printed page at me, as they did.
 But it was just before Christmas and I had just come into touch with family in which the father was out of work and the five children were suffering, not from lack of toys or comfortable home, but from lack of enough clothes to keep them from being bitterly cold, and enough food to keep them from being miserably hungry. The two-year-old baby was a white little thing, pitifully easy to lift and take care of-she went to sleep in my arms from sheer weak ness.
 His Idea of Festival.
 That night my chapter was Luke XIV, and I read these verses:
 "Then said he also to them
 that bade him, When thou mak-
 est dinner or supper, call
 not thy friends, nor they breth-
 ren, neither they kinsmen, nor
 thy rich neighbors; lest they al-
 so bid thee again, and a recom- pense be made thee.
 "But when thou makest feast,
 call the poor, the maimed, the
 lame, the blind:
 And thou shalt be blessed, for
 they cannot recompense thee,
 for thou shall be recompensed
 at the resurrection of the jut."

Such dear, quaint little frock as Louise is planning to wear to the New Years dance! It is of lemon-yei- low "Soiree" silk; the bodice being made pointed in the front, laced with narrow violet velvet ribbons and fin ished off around the waist by a silk covered cord. Similar cording outlines the shoulders, from which hang two pleated frills of point-d esprit net, picot-edged. The hem of the gathered skirt is lined with horse-hair lace, to make it stand out and two frills head ed by cording, are sewed in scallops having the points trimmed with clus tors of flat pink and blue roses. Lit tie lemOn-cOlOr chiffon pantalets, edged with frills and roses just show the hem of the gown. To complete the picture, she ought to carry one of the little old-fashioned bouquets of violets with a pink rose in the cen- ter and surrounded by paper lace, tied with yellow ribbon.
