WILSON ASKS FOR
CAUTION IN CRISIS

VHO IlVN Nv OIaEOfO
Washington, D. c., Feb. 6.-While
the United States stands before the
world court of public opinion in the
anxious waiting period which will de-
termine peace or war with Germany,
President Wilson is determined that
there shall be no word or deed to
merit reproach, even from Germany
herself.
Nothing is to be done which is not
fully justified by the laws of nations
and humanity; nothing is to be done
for expediency; nothing is to be done
which is not legal and just.
With hope for peace, and a readi-
ness to meet war if it must be, the
president has made it clear to all his
officials that the course of the United
States, difficult as it is, must be entire
1y beyond criticism.
To Protect German Rights.
To that end, German rights and prop
erty in the United States are to have
full protection Of law and the presi-
dent wishes, every American citizen to
forbear from any thought or act which
might lead his country nearer to war.
Hope that Germany might at the
last moment, modify her declaration
Of unrestricted submarine warfare was
llmost dissipated on Monday by the
lews dispatches from Berlin which
gave the word of high German Off
Gals that there would be no turning
back. American officials now only
wait an actual demonstration of how
the new decree will affect American
tights.
Not Unfriendly Act.
Government officials declared Mon
lay afternoon that this governments
suggestion for break by other neu-
trails did not constitute an unfriendly
act toward Germany. In support Of
their view they pointed out that the
president said he believed it would
make for peace IF other neutral pow
ers can find it possible to take SINH
lar action"
This did not constitute an actual re-
quest, they said.
After conference with the presi-s
dent Secretary Tumulty issued the fol
lowing statement regarding rumors Of
seizure of German ships:
1--WE will do nothing we have not
clear legal right to do.
when we act, we will act on the
principles of right and not upon any
principle of expediency"
Attempt to scuttle U. S. Ship.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 3.-An at
tempt was made on Saturday to
scuttle the United States tropedo> boat
destroyer, Jacob Jones, by opening sew
eral of her seacocks at the Philade1-
phia navy yard, according to unofficial
but reliable report. Officials at the
yard refused either to confirm or deny
the reports, pointing out that upon in
structions from Washington a strict
censorship had been placed upon all
activities at the navy yards through
out the country.
An officer of the Jacob Jones, it was
said, found that the ship was listing
heavily to port as she was being towed
from her anchorage in the Delaware
river to dock, and all persons aboard
were detained and questioned The
chief machinist's mate, whose identity
was not disclosed, was arrested

GALLANT FIREMAN
LANDS SEA MONSTER

Herbert c. Hoover, Food Admins
traitor. should be interested in the
following telegraphic communication
from Colonial Beach last night, which
was approved by the censors Of No.
% Engine Company.
1t appears that Sergeant William
Parater went to the Virginia beach
for a premeditated attack upon a num-
Der of fish. Stringing out his lines. he
met no assault from the enemy until
late in the afternoon when an unex-
pected attack was made upon his right
wing.
Parater made a strategic move and,
bringing over his own left wing, cap
tured a sea monster that weighed 240
pounds.
Such is the story that came in the
telegram from Colonial Beach last
night The attacking force was said
to be weak because Of lack of food,
due to the food conservation campaign
Firemen said last night that IL the
report proved true the captured enemy
would be disposed of at No. q engine
house by the department of the in
terror.

TINY DARKIES' BAND
BEATS THE MOVIES
Ninth Street Picture Patrons Enjoy
Novel Southern Spectacle.

The Ole Cullud Band, twelve plea
ninnies strong. with 5-year-old lead
er, hailing from sunny Alabam', made
its debut on Ninth street yesterday
afternoon and drove the movies from
the boards.
For more than two hours the mid
day throngs enjoyed the performance
of the band of midgets which came
blaring up the street
II they hadn't. been such tiny little
players and made such racket, 1t
Is probable that they wouldn't have
made a hit. But they were right
there with these features, and by
the time the photographers and cam
era men appeared with their guns, as
one OF the performers expressed it,
.'dey was sum crowd"
Coming directly from the train they
picked out one of the photoplay
houses on Ninth street and lined up in
front of 1t, their Instruments dangling
on their arms.
Within two minutes after the Zine
up'' had been effected there was a
crowd which rivaled those seen at
election returns.
The manager of the photoplay
] house, ever on the alert, spied the
bandsters. In a moment he was at
the side of their leader. The crowd
leaned closer to catch a phrase or
two of the whispering. All smiles.
the tiny 5-year-old leader called his
charges to attention. In a moment
you coundn't tell atmosphere from
music. But only for moment
Not long did they linger on the
street. In single file they carried their
twelve lungpower rendition of Dixie"
straight into the movie auditorium.
Some Real Strategy.
That was real strategy. There was
a fair sized audience already in the
theater, but in moment the crowd
outside swept en- masse upon the
ticket seller.
Within the moment the movie house
was taxed to its capacity. And then
the fun began. When the band had
finished its repertoire the crowd yell
ed for more. In the meantime the
ticket seller, afraid to let any more
in, had slipped out of her box to
watch the big doings
At this juncture one of the band
sters, after pleading for quiet, made
a little speech. He explained that
their Ddnu was llc duA 2hOls sc vi
phanage Band" and that they were
on their way to the Worlds National
Musical Convention in Augusta, Me.
He said not a member in the band
was over 16 years old, and several
were as young as 5 or 6 years, and
then he added that they were de-
pending upon the generosity of de
good public" to purchase bright and
shiny uniforms. At this the audience
applauded and the twelve tiny band
sters scrambled about collecting jit-
neys and "two-bit" pieces in their
hats And then the band played the
Star Spangled Banner" and the
crowd stood up and went wild. After
time, the movies continued their
daily grind and the piccaninny band
1 adjournew for refreshments.
They will stay in the city for two
days and will give several concerts
at the various training camps near
the District. They have spent the
past two months in Havana, Cuba
After they have earned sufficient
funds to buy their uniforms they may
return to the city and give a special
concert in honor of President Wilson.
