i Hsal Germans Plan <
JUS,
.rTr---, efl<, Feb. l. A force OF
United States custom officers and
police ut 9 o'clock last night boarded
The German liners lying at their
nicrs at Hoboken and searched them
from stem to stern. The searching
party was headed by George F.
Lamb, deputy collector of the port.
and Chief of Police Patrick Hayes.
Of Hoboken.
The greatest activity of the "neu-
trality squad" which is watching
the German vessels was created by
the report that the steamers crews
had been preparing to render their
ships useless in the event of war
Collector of the Port Dudley Field
Malone, so Chief of Police Hayes
said, asserted there was reason for
making a most thorough investga-
ton of the fifteen or more vessels
which have been interned at Ho-
boken since the beginning Of the
war.
Chief Hayes understood that re-
ports were current that the vessels
would be scuttled or their machinery
ruined.
The report which stirred the "neu-
trality squad into activity was 10
the effect that tonight all officers
and engineers of the interned vessels
had been summoned, while the crews
were ashore on account of the pay
day.
Then the report continued, repre-
sentative of both the Hamburg
American and North German Lloyd
lines had explained that on account
of the "inevitable war with Ger
many" all engines would have to be
ruined. Officers and engineers would
have to 60 to work Immediately and
destroy not only the pistons and
steam valves, but also prepare the
sea-valves for emergency cases.
The extraordinary searching party
which combed the liners last night
worked with the permanent "neu-
tralitv guard" of eleven men. These
crctoms men are on constant watch,
one at each pier head, and one at the
street gate Of each dock. In addl-
ton. there are men patrolling the
piers day and night.

DISCIPLE OF JOAN OF ARC
Miss Farrar Took Active Part in
Staging Of Great Film.

That the motion picture has opened
up a new and unlimited field for the
presentation of great historical events
in the form of most stirring dramas
is the opinion OF those who were ac
quainted with the preparatory work
on Joan the Woman" in which Ger
aldine Farrar appears as the star.
There is q vast difference between
motion picture productions, the stories
of which have modern or fairly mod
ern backgrounds, and a great cinema
story OF the early fifteenth century.
Even before Miss Farrar went to Cali.
fornia three months ago to devote her
entire summer exclusively to a char.
acterization of Joan of Arc, the most
careful preparations had been made TO
abide by the best authorities, not only
in the telling OF the story, but in the
customs. manners, dress, and details
OF the period.
When Miss Farrar was in France as
a student of the operatic stage she be-
came an enthusiastic disciple OF Joan
of Arc. In order to crafty this en-
thusiasm she travelled over the en-
tire section OF France sacred to the
French people as being the soil on
which Joan achieved her great tri-
umphs. During the taking OF the pic
ture. in which she plays the title role,
MISS Farrar was invaluable in sup
plying details OF historic accuracy.

"In the first place, jealousy preys

Then jealousy shows in ones face.
Watch the Jealous woman and read

sanctified leading OF armies by a
goddess, but the suffering and travail
of q woman to bear new life to a
nation. The picture Is said to be
mighty, gripping, spectacular.
In Joan the Woman" the plot has
very cleverly been so Constructed
that II connects the story with the
present times. The picure opens
with prologue. A young British
soldier fighting on the western front
discovers a strange sword OF the four
teenth century type in one of the
trenches. While he is examining IL a
call comes for a volunteer to blow up
a certain enemy trench at midnight.
The Briton falls asleep, and before
him passes the vision OF Joan of Arc.
In this vision he is Eric Trent, a
gallant English captain lighting with
his king to conquer France from
Charles VII. He Is wounded. and a
strange peasant maid. Joan. finds him
and binds his wounds. saving his life.
1t is while she Is examining his
gauntlets that she sees the vision
that takes her to court as the des-
tined savior OF France. He falls in
love with the maid and pleads for a
return Of his love, and. although her
heart cries out for him. she answers:
There Is love in each heart for but
one thing-mine Is for France"
He awakens with the message of
Joan of Arc in his heart. II still
lacks several minutes of midnight.
He volunteers for the service, and
with a bomb sets out for the enemy's
trench. He lodges the searchlight
till he Is within a few
hundred feet OF the trench. Then II
him. There are a dozen
spurts OF flame, and he falls. with a
mighty effort he lifts himself and
hurls the bomb into the trench. A
minute later there Is a report at
headauarters that the enemy trench
Ii destroyed.
This bridging OF the span OF cen
teuries, and the remarkably we'll
chosen love interest that shows what
this woman was like. are touches that
have made out OF what would still be
