Victory or Failure?

Victory or FdlluTcg
There is no more striking evidence
of how men can disagree utterly in
their opinions of things than is pre-
sented by this Lusitania affair. The
state department seemingly is entirely
satisfied that it has won a complete
victory. There are officials in Wash
ington, however, who say that the
terms Of the Lusitania settlement pre-
sent a picture of complete failure OF
American diplomacy. There you are
Take your choice.
Seemingly, Germany has admitted
now that it is counter to international
law for war vessel to sink an un'
armed merchant ship or a passenger
ship without making provision for the
safety of those on board. Germany
did not want to admit that the sink
ing of the Lusitania was illegal, and
so the word "unjustifiable," or one
meaning the same thing, has been en-
ployed to cover the case. Therefore
according to the administration point
of view, the use of this word, or a
synonym, is entirely satisfactory pro-
vided it Is not intended to limit the
activities of the word so that they will
cover only those vessels which have
neutral passengers on board. In 9th
er words, the administration believes
the proper Interpretation of Germany's
position is that it is unjustitiable and
has been unjustifiable from the first tc
sink merchant or passenger vessels
without providing for the safety OF
crew and passengers, even If both are
composed entirely Of citizens Of coun
tries with which Germany is at war.
Washington knows the Lusitania
case is loaded with politics, while II
ought not to be loaded with anything
but nonpartisan diplomacy. Pol
iticians here agree that the political
campaign next summer partly will be
directed along "Lusitania lines" O1
course it is recognized by the pol
iticians here that the extent to which
the case will figure In the campaign
depends largely upon the amount Of
resentment, or OF satisfaction. which
ever 1t may be, to be shown by the
country when 1t nas had time thor
oughly to comprehend the final terms

ton fear that under new plans for sub
marine warfare proposed to be fol-
lowed by the central powers OF Eu-
rope, this country may become once
more involved in dangerous diplomatic
negotiations. Word has come that 1t
is the intention of the central powers
to order that merchant and passenger
vessels belonging to belligerents shall
be sunk without warning in case they
carry guns even for defense purposes.
The mounting of guns for purely de-
Tense purposes has been recognized as
the right of merchant and passenger
ships. OF course it is also recognized
that If advance warning is given that
such vessels shall be sunk, the re-
sponsibility possibly may rest with
the nations which continue to arm
their passenger and merchant ships,
even if they are armed for defense
purposes. The main danger to the
United States, 1t is recognized, 10 Ina'
If the proposed plan is carried out

are likely to break loose.

SUBMARINE PIRATE"
 ON BILL AT FOX'S

Tonight's the night, Fox's theater tho place and 'Thc Submarine Pirate" the attraction. This simple sentence brings forth the uppermost thought in the mind of the theater- goers of this city for they have waited patiently for this attraction 10 be shown here, and if telephone messages inquiring as to the exact Fox's will be filled to overfowing dur ing the engagement of this most note worthy comedy feature that has met with unqualified approval wherever it has been shown.
 Svd Chaplin, Charles brother and business adviser plays the leading role in this four reel comedy made by the Keystone studios and his support ing company is one that will be re- mcmbered for some time to come The four reels abound in thrills and comedy and the press of New Y ork have given this attraction as much, if not more space than any legitimate attraction, proclaiming it as a comedy that every man, woman and child should see.
 In conjunction with this stellar rroduction, Willard Mack and Mary Roland, the charming ingenue star will be seen in The Edge of the Abyss" a big five reel drama that will strike a responsive chord with the regular Fox patrons. The story carries with it all the necessary in gradients of the drama and is pro- duced with care and splendor. Will lard Mack is seen as the hardened criminal, but also manages to bring out the underlying idea of the rugged faithfulness of a man toward his benefactor. He is especially effective in the scene where he confronts the wife and her admirer as they are about to elope, stealing up to them like some wild animal stalking it's prey.
 Several single reels of refined and entertaining calibre frame the bal ance of the offering for today and to- morrow.

MRS. HIBBARD TO
 RETURN TO LYCEUM

Next week at the Lyceum will be known as Hubbard Week." for then there comes back to New Britain one of the most popular actresses who ever played here, Mrs. Adelaide Hib- bard, who will take tho leading character role in Willard Mack's famous melodramatic sensation, 'klck-In." The mere fact that Mrs. Hubbard is to join the Alfred Cross Players is expected to bring to 8 zenith an interest that is rapidly de- Veloping in the local stock company The last three performances of Tho Blindness of Virtuc' have proven that New Britain's populace have at last become interested in the wonder ful wealth of drama being presented at the Lyceum. Capacity houses arc the order with this weeks production and it is expected that next week tickets to "I<ick-In" will be at a premium. Among Mrs. Hibbard's host of friends who have been anx- iously awaiting her return here there will be many theater parties in her honor
 Great interest is also made manifest in the announcement from the Ly- ceum that a charming and clever little ingenue has been secured by the Cross Players in the person of Miss Eveta Francis who will make her first appearance here with Mrs Hubbard next week. Miss Francis comes to New Britain bringing with her all the endowm ents that should make for her popularity. She is des- cribed as a beautiful, petite blond with sparkling blue eyes and win some manner. The younger set of the city will have in her a character much to their liking as Miss Francis possesses many accomplishments which will readily win her favor. The play 'Kick-In'' will offer her a won derful opportunity in which to make her debut.

Although he is a clever tall1er his motto is deeds, not words' and as a demon tration of this fact he left the people of Cork, his native city, in darkness for several weeks when he shut off the gas supply during the strike of the gas workers there. That is char acteristic of the man.
 His success in Ireland attracted the attention of labor men in other parts of the empire and he was called to England soon after organizing the re- tail store workers in Erin. He was appointed national organizer by the London executive of the British union of shopp assistants, warehousemen and clerks, affiliated with the British Fed eratlon of Labor. Prior to his de- parture from Europe, MT. Lehane was honored at public banquet attended by some of the most representative men in England

THE STRANGE CASE
 OF MARY PAGE"
(Copyright 1915 by the Mcclure publcations)

No; she skirted the hollow around the other side, but l could see her. I WOuldna let her out of my sight. till she were safe, but I didna want to lay hands on a' daftie myself Then sud- denly l saw a man come runnin' through the woods and when he saw her, he gave a great cry and shouted, Thank God!' Then he called again, Mary, Mary-wait for me-wait for me, dear. The echo in the hollow caught it up so that the whole woods were full of the cry, and at that she turned, and stood sWayin'-lil<e a young sapling cut at the root Then she gave a cry, and fell all crumpled in a little heap.''
 Did you go forward then,''
 I started, but before I could get around to them the man had pickit the lassie up and carried her down by the brook in the hollow"
 "Could you still see them ?'
 Aye, like in a theater. for the moon shone down there, while stood above them in the trees The man, who was MT. Langdon here, kep' wettin' his handkerchief and bathin' her poor face till she opened her eyes
 
 that, he held her close and sobbed like a child and said, Mary, Mary, are you all right now, dear?' And she said, I'm tired-where have I been" And he said, Never mind, dear, you can rest now-you are safe in my arms Then suddenly she gives scream and cries, Don't let fla ther touch me--don't let him touch
 
 shoulder-it burns--it burns!' And he kissed her and said, There is nothin' on your shoulder except my kisses, Mary. Put the fear out of your head; nothin' can harm you while have you Safe.' And she says, Not even David 9 And he says Not even David, damn him. Then she gives a little sigh like a bairn that is tired, and holds up her lips to be kissed, and, then snuggles her puir head in his shoulder, and he knelt there hold in her"
 You went up to them then, did you not?"
 Well, you know that" answered the Scotchman with some scorn. "I went up and said, Can I help you carry the puir lassie home" And he Sald, NO, l snail not move HeT llll she has rested a bit Then he wraps her in his coat and sits watchin' her, but after bit he says, She's been sleepin' sound, I can carry her now, and he picks her up in his arms and starts off
 Did Miss Page speak when she was moved ?'
 Yes; she said Am I still safe with you, Phil?' And he says, Yes And she says, oh, I wish l was dead-ex- cept for you dear And he said, I wish those who torture you were dead, my darling, but I'm going to guard you myself in the future.' Then, still holdin' her in his arms and carryin' her careful like, he went off through the trees"

 A little gust of whispering comm ent rippled through the room, and the Judge, leaning forward, broke in sharply:
 How far distant was the figure when you first thought you recognized it as Mary Page.
 CT dinna ken, exactly,' said the woodsman thoughtfully, "'twas no more than maybe twice the width of the space of yon door," holding to- wards the entrance into court, "but to get to her I would have had to skirt the lip of the hollow, so I stood still Watchin.' "

The Kindest Thing

A somewhat similar dilemma oc-. CUTS when one is called up on the telephone by a friend, when one has. guests or is about to go out, or at the moment when one is in the middle of. some task which cannot be left.
 When the Telephone Call Is
 Inconvenient.
 And yet, on second thoughts I should hardly call this a dilemma at admits of just one course of action, Explain to the telephone caller that it isn't convenient to talk at just. that moment and that you will call her up a little later. But make your explanations immediately-thus talk ing any sting out of the situation, Nobody likes to have the truth leak out in the middle of the conversation that the other party didn't want to converse and has been doing it under duress. .M
 At times it is difficult to warn the telephone caller without making one's guests fell embarrassed. For this situation, my telephone friends and I have invented 8 little formula to warn the other inquires, "How is So-and-so," Ca mythical personage). The inquiry is code expression for "I can't talk just now" The other understands and promptly rings off.
 These are suggestions of my own preferences, but no lone will go far astray in any of these matters who tries to regulate his conduct by the old definition of politeness, Ito do or say the llindest thing in the kindest way"

When anyone starts to tell you story or a personal anectode which he has told you before is it kinder to warn him of that fact or to let him go on?
 That subject came up for discus sion before the open fire the other night.
 What do you think about it, reader friends?
 Personally, I would much rather be warned at once, but I don't think one can rigidly apply the Golden Rule here, because other people don't all ways want the same thing one wants ones self.
 I suppose it is matter which de- bends somewhat on circumstances your degreo of intimacy with the reconteur, the stage the story has reached before you recognize it, and your own ability as an actor or actress.
 Tell Him At Once, If At All.
 If one knows the reconteur only slightly, one might not feel like do- ing such an intimate thing as warn half told before you recognize it, what use to warn him? You add all the embarrassm of feeling he has bored you to all the discomfort of be- ing interrupted and robbed of his climax. And yet again, if you aren't good enough actor to appear in terested and amused at the proper points, better speak out frankly than leave the reconteur to suspect his mistake from your manner
 If there is anything l dislike it is to be allowed to tell a story and then to be assailed with the suspicion that I have told 1t before.
