GENIUS Will WIN
WAR, SAYS EXPERT
Enshshman Speaks of Conditions
in North Sea Blockade.

Ultimate victory for the United
States and fits allies in the war de-
pends upon the ingenuity and the IN
ventive genius Of the nation in devils
ing q method to effectively combat
the German submarine warfare.
Arthur H. Pollen. English war ex-
pert speaking before the Navy
League Of the United States. at the
Willard last night. made It plain that
the developments Of the world war
had made IL imperative that wide and
costly experiments, daring and de-
cision and the brains of the allies
must be applied to a solution OF the
Teuton warfare on the seas.
In his address Mr.. Pollen said, In
part:
I'VE have to prove that the Ger
man theory as to their power to cut
sea communications and to render the
belligerency OF the United States in
effective Is wrong, and 1t can only be
proved by defeating the submarines.
There are three courses open. We
may block the exit to the German
harbors by active sea operation. Could
such an effective barricade be estab-
ished. the German feet would be
definitely immobilized. and then the
problem Of watching the ports at close
range, and OF blocking them with a
mine field, SO that submarines could
not get out, would be soluble.
THE second course is to block the
North Sea and the Channel by estab-
fishing an impossible combination Of
nets and mines, but there are certain
problems, difficult of solution, albeit,
not necessarily insoluble. in connec-
tion with such operations. In the
North Sea there are tides and storms
and sea actions which make II an ex-
tremely difficult task to anchor mines
and to maintain nets. Moreover. such
operations are difficult to carry out
on such a large scale.
Third, we may defend our ships
by arming them, by providing them
with improved fiotation. and other
means OF defense against submarine
attack.

THE CASE OFF COSTANZA.

I wish I knew what had become
Of Costanza. One bitterly cold day
last winter as stepped from the car
at the entrance to the studio at Fort
Lee, girl came up to me. She was
perhaps nineteen, maybe younger, a
slender. vivid, Italian type, but dressed
! In good style. black with a touch of
scarlet In her hat, and lovely fox
| furs. Her smile was vivid and in
fectious, the smile of the peasant
girl who hands you glass OF goats
milk on a side road in Palermo.
She wanted to get into picture work.
something requiring an Italian type
II she could. And she was a pro-
fessional. too; ah, yes. indeed. for
three years she had been in vaude-
vile in little sketch, herself and her
| dancing partner. She would do any
I, thing, anything at all, she protested.
1 introduced her to our director and
she left her photographs and address.
as they all do. But she was different
Every morning she was there. no
matter what the weather. and always
with that flashing, hopeful smile that
nothing could daunt. ] think she did
get little extra work, but nothing
regular. as. as our company was all made
But I always looked for her, and
she told me she had two very little
| children. She had their pictures in
fiat locket and her big brown eyes
nlleQ with tears as Sne showed u 10
me one day.
Their father he is no good" she
| said half defiantly. He has never
seen the baby, never. He left me alone
| before she was born. Now he has
new girl in the sketch, so / hear,
and l must take care OF his children.
The men, they are no good once they
marry you"
Another time she stopped Mother
/ and me and asked our advice. Her
husband was in the city, she knew.
He was booked at a certain theater,
booked ther with another woman in
their old act.
"Ah, but I will get him." she said
spftlv. II will have him arrested
and locked up. They do that in New
York to men who run away from the
wife and children. yes? His brother
| come to me one time last week and
| say. 'Costanza, you not lock Joe up.
You love your husband too much, and
the father Of your children Then
she leaned back her head and laughed
| happily. Love him? Yes. love him.
| 1 love to see his face when he gets
locked up. You know what he tell
me last time I see him? He snap
his finger in my face and say. You
go as far as you like. see.' Now
well, II you were alone, I think
I'd tell you to keep out Of trouble,
| and go on with your own work, 4"
mother told her. But with kiddies to
| think OF. you are justified in making
| him support them. That isn't revenge.

"Oh, ! no take revenge" she cried.
II am American girl. born in Dan.

ming after him with a stiletto like in
pictures. yes? When ! do that / get
paid for 1t in the studio. not for real.
l like TO see him in jail better"
She did not come to the studio
again, but ] found a card among my
mail about two weeks later signed
"Costanza-" II surely told what had
happened to Joe.
II served the court notice myself,
and he got s'V months. i guess that
act don't open as advertised. Joe has
to play a special date for me. / got
work, too. now. / sing in Italian

And that was all. wonder IL other
people love the-o little flashes from
everyday romance as do. I dc
wish ! knew how they end. though.
/ wonder IL Joe 10 penitent. Maybe
he was not born in Danbury. Maybe
he broods revenge once he gets out
Of Jail. Or will he respect her more
for what she has done. and try tc
start the old sketch all over again
under promise of good behavior?
l hope il does some good, but I'm
afraid not. IT hasn't helped her tc
support her children any, or brought
back his love. He Is only in the de.
partment of correction. but he leaves
in July. and 1 wonder what he will
