In the event Of the United States 60
ing to war with Germany, when they
would naturally confscate all German
ships now informed here, would these
have to be returned to Germany at the
conclusion of the war under treaty
which, ! am told, is in existence De-
tween this country and Germany, made
about 1923?
The treaty of 1928 between the Unit
ed States and Prussia made no men-'
ton of merchant ships and contained
no statement which would apply to the
Hypothetical case you cite. The part
of the treaty of 1899 which was re
vived i'll the treaty of 1928 contained
the following clause: IF war should
arise between the contracting parties
the merchants of either country then
residing in the other shall be allowed
to remain nine months to collect their
debts and settle their affairs and may
depart freely, carrying off all their eff
fects, without molestatiOn or him
drance."
The Hague conventions Of 1907 pro
vide that merchant vessels caught In
an enemy port at the outbreak Of war
cannot he confscated, but only detain-
ell during the war or requisitioned If
compensation be paid. The United
States did not sign this particular con-
vention, but it is reasonable to suppose
that we would abide by it.
1t should be remembered, however.
that the merchant vessels belonging to
the Teutonic allies which are now held
in American ports are not interned
They are commonly spoken of as the
interned vessels" but by strict inter
probation the word is not correct, for
they are free to depart ut any time.
and their officers could obtain ships
clearing papers whenever they asked
for them. In the eyes of the United
States government the status OF the
German and Austrian merchant ships
is precisely the same as that of the
British and French or the Dutch and
Scandinavian vessels. The Teutonic
merchant ships are held here not by
the United States, but by their own Of
ticers and owners to avoid capture.
Where did Joseph r. Wilson, father
of the president, live at the beginning
Of the civil war and what part did he
take in it7
During the civil war Joseph r. Will
son was pastor Of the Presbyterian
church Of Atlanta, Ga. Although he
took no active part in the struggle, his
sr,nrathies were with the southern
forces. At the division of the Presby
terrain church into northern and south
ern branches he invited the first gen.
eral assembly Of the latter to meet in
his church, and he became its perma-
nent clerk.

Please explain the principle of a
patent bottle which keeps liquids hot
or cold for several hours.
The principle involved is the relation
of air to the radiation or transmission
of heat. The implement consists of two
glass bottles, one inside the other. with
the air completely exhausted from the
surrounding space between and this
space Theoretically sealed, so that no
air can enter The inner bottle being
thus surrounded by a vacuum, which
resists the passage of heat. the con-
tents maintain their original tempera-
ture for a Icing time, hot contents not
losing their heat by radiation and cold
contents being protected from outside
heat.

will be seen in THE Selfish Woman
a gripping drama. The co-starrlng OF
Mr.. Reid and Miss Rdgley on the
Paramount program has proved to be
one if the most happy of the many
successful combinations of the l.asky
company. The story has to do VITA
the adventures of a young civil enSl-

scrupulous banker, and the beautiful
daughter of money-mad society
woman. How the girl, while marry
ing the engineer for his money. only
to have him disowned by the father
to wreck his sons career. and how
they eventually renew their old love,
is presented in series OF unusual
scenes and gripping situations, and
must necessarily be seen to be appre-
ciated. Many of the scenes were
tax n in a railroad construction camp
in the heart of the mountains, but the
scenes in the Eastern drawing rooms
give Miss Rdgley and the other feml-
nine members Of the company oppor-
tunity to display some of the latest
fashions in evening gowns.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Today-"The Waits" has a theme
that will be popular to the end of our
days, inasmuch as our days mean con-
slant struggle with baser impulses
and weaknesses of human nature for
those of us whose blood runs red. And
there is nothing more Fascinating for
an audience composed largely of peo-
pie who know the sting of poverty
to follow than the varying drama of
two unfortunates who rise through
mutual helpfulness. when either might
falter and fail alone The theme ad-
mits of a thousand variations, and
THE Waits" is in many respects one
of the best of it's kind yet shown. 1t
is especially strong in types and
with moments of in
tense Psychology. Jane Grey as Rags
is in many respects change from
the heroine usually shown-she has
such distinctive individuality of her
own and she is a welcome change at
times, but the roles to WHICH she
would be suited are comparatively
few.
