its and has long been established
with the approval and by the eN-
press assent OF all civilized nations.
Pledges Given To L. :.
The imperial government. not
withstanding. persisted in carrying
out the policy announced. expressing
the hope that the dangers involved.
at any rate 10 neutral vessels, would
be reduced to minimum by the in
structions which IL had issued TO the
commanders OF its submarines and
assuring the government of the
United States that il would take
every possible precaution both TO
respect the rights OF neutrals and to
safeguard the lives Of non-combat-
. nts.
In pursuance Of this policy Of
submarine warfare against the COM
merce OF its adversaries, thus an
nounced and thus entered upon in
despite Of the solemn protest of the
government Of the United States, the
commanders Of the imperial govern
ment's under-sea vessels have car
ried on practices of such ruthless
destruction which have made il
more and more evident as the
months have gone by that the i'm
perial government has found IL i'm
practicable 20 put any such re-
straints upon them as it had hoped
and promised 20 put. Again and
again the imperial government has
given its solemn assurances TO the
government Of the United States
that at least passenger ships would
not be thus dealt with and yet il has
repeatedly permitted its under-sea
commanders 10 disregard these as
surances with entire impunity. AS
recently as February last IL gave no
tice that il would regard all armed
merchantmen owned by its enemies
as part OF the armed naval forces
Of its adversaries and deal with
them as with men-of-war. thus at
least by injunction pledging itself
10 give warning TO vessels which
were not armed and to accord Sc
curity Of life TO their passengers and
crews: but even this Limitation their
submarine commanders have reck-
lessly ignored.
Vessels Of neutral ownership,
even vessels Of neutral ownership
bound from neutral port to neutral
port, have been destroyed along
with vessels Of belligerent ownership
in constantly increasing numbers.
Few Warnings Given.
"Some times the merchantme nt
attacked nave been warned and
summoned to surrender before be-
ing fired on or torpedoed; some
times their passengers and crews
have been vouchsafed the poor Sc
curity of being allowed to take TO
the ships boats before the ship was
sent to the bottom. But again and
again no warning has been given, no
escape even TO the ships boats al
lowed to those on board. Great
liners like the Lusitania and Arabic
and mere passenger boats like the
| Sussex have been attacked without a
moments warning. often before they
have even become aware that they
were in the presence Of an armed
ship of the enemy, and the lives OF
nom cOmbatants, passengers and
crew have been destroyed wholesale
and in a manner which the govern
ment of the United States cannot
but regard as wanton and without
the slightest color of justification.

was tOrpedoed while crossing from
FolkestOne to Ufeppe. The Sussex
had never been armed; was a vessel

so OF her passengers. non-combat-

"a careful, detailed and scrupu-
lousy impartial investigation by
naval and military officers Of the

German manufacture. In view Of

HERE is PRESIDENT WILSON'S ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY

No limit OF any kind has in fact been
set 70 their indiscriminate pursuit
and destruction Of merchantmen of
all kinds and nationalities within the
waters which the imperial govern
ment has chosen 10 designate as ~
ing within the seat OF war. The
roll Of Americans who have lost
their lives upon ships thus attacked
and destroyed has grown month by
month until the OminoIs toll has
mounted into the hundreds.
The government OF the United
States has been very patient At
every stage Of this distressing expe-
rience Of tragedy after tragedy IL
has sought 10 be governed by the
most thoughtful consideration Of
the extraordinary circumstances Of
an unprecedented war and 10 be
guided by sentiments Of very genu-
inc friendship for the people and
government OF Germany. IL has ac-
copied the successive explanations
and assurances of the imperial gov
eminent as Of course given in en-
tire sincerity and good faith. and
has hoped. even against hope. that
il would prove 10 be possible for the
imperial government so 10 order and
control the acts of its naval COM
manders as 20 square its policy with
the recognized principles OF human
ity as embodied in the law Of ma
tions. 1t has made every allowance
for unprecedented conditions and
has been willing to wait until the
facts became unmistakable and were
susceptible OF only one interpreta-
ton.
Time Has Come.
1T now owes il TO a just regard
for its own rights TO say to the i'm
perial government that that time has
come. II has become painfully evil
dent 10 il that the position which it
took at the very outset is inevita bic,
namely. the use of submarines for
the destruction of an enemys COM
merce. is, Of necessity, because of
the very character of the vessels en-
| plOyed and the very methods OF at
tack which their employment of
course involves. utterly incompati-
| 1btt Win AlAt PAIANAPlto u hullldAA-
| ity, the long established and incon-
trovertible rights OF neutrals. and
the sacred immunities OF non-com-
| batants
IF IL Is still the purpose OF the
| imperial government to- prosecute
relentless and indiscriminate war
fare against vessels of commerce by
the use of submarines without re-
gard to what the government of the
United States must consider the
sacred and indisputable rules of in
ternatiOnal law and the universally
recognized dictates OF humanity the
government of the United States Is
at last forced to the conclusion that
there il but one course il can pur-
sue. Unless the imperial govern
ment should now Immediately de-
clare and effect an abandonment of
Its present methods of submarine
warfare against passenger and
| freight carrying vessels. the govern
ment of the United States can have
no choice but to severe diploma
relations with the German empii u
altogether. This action the govern
ment of the United States contem-
plates with the greatest reluctance.
but feels constrained to take i'm be-
half Of humanity and the rights of
neutral nations"

SETS NOW BUILT IN
CONTINUITY"
BY TRIANGLE

Since the completion of the four great
glass stages at Culver CITY for the making
OF Triangle-lnce photoplays. a motIon-pIc-
ture innovation long and devoutIy desired
by directors has been made possible That
Ia the building of interior sets in continuity
III the actual relation they are supposed to
bear to each other in the story Thus,
one often sees suite of four rooms exactly
as they would be in some home of the
wealthy. They open into each other and
may be viewed from each other The
camera can sometimes catch something of
all four at once.
This has led to another innovation The
directors often stations two or more cameras
on his set, and photographs continuous ac-
tlon actually as 1t would be In life Thus
from one side of n wall an actress Is photo
graphed as she exits through a doorway
On the other side second camera records
that Identical passage. A third picks her
up as, without stopping, she goes up n
stairway steps, turns and comes down and
through the doorway again. Not a motion
or the entire action is lost and II this
scene were highly expressive or emotional
one, carefully worked up TO- the added In.
innate relationship of scenes might be in
valuable.
Under the old system of small sets the
exit through the doorway and the entrance
into the other room might be divided by
weeks, and the player be I'm an entirely dlf-
ferent mood. This has also resulted in
many ludicrous mistakes In makeup, even
with the most painstakIng direction, SO that
matching up the several hundred scenes
OF play Is sometimes a most difficult task
What for Instance, can be done when a
player leaves room with flower In his
coat and hands bare. to appear in the hail
q fraction OF secC nd later gloved and
without the flower, returning immediately
to the room bouqueted but without the
gloves? 1t is not always that the worried
MIN editor can fix this sort of thing with
the ancient, llfe-saving title Several DAYS
Later"
An oddly OF the big new Ince sets that
amazes visitors is that, even though the
MIN will be In monochrome, everything
photographed is In full accurate and very
handsome color.
Scenes in an art gallery were required In
Triangle play recently filmed. and not
only was the gallery accurately reproduced
but paintings were chosen 10 represent the
various modern schools OF art that would
be likely to be represented and where gem
ulne example could not be obtained copies
were made from the works OF recognized
artists.
