WILSON ASKS FOR
CAUTION In CRISIS

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 a 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
WI oh is not legal and just
With hope for peace, and 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
ly 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

Not Unfriendly Act.
Government officials declared Mon
day 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

tempt was made on saturday TO

destroyer, Jacob Jones. by opening sew

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

river to dock, and all persons aboard

Submarine War Goes On.
Berlin, Feb. 7-Discussing the atti.
tude of the United States toward Ger.
many's new plan Of submarine war
fare, with a Norwegian correspond.
ent. DR.. Karl Helfferich. minister of
the interior, said:
1--WE consider submarine warfare TO
be an effective means Of shortening
the war and breaking once and for all
British tyranny on the seas II is
true that neutrals will have to suffer
in some respects from the submarine
war, but do not they suffer already?
You can be sure the difficulties caused
to your country by our submarine war
will be little compared with those
caused by Great Britain.
ASK your own countrymen by
what brutal methods Great Britain
coerces Norwegian shipowners to
carry contraband, and how with all
means she strangles the Norwegian
fishing industry.
"As to the submarine war, there is
no way back for us. We shall go on
the way which we have chosen TO the
end, and we are convinced that neu-
trails later will be thankful to US"

Berlin, Feb. 7.--Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman made the following
statement to the Overseas News
agency:
I'VE regret this measure taken by
President Wilson, all the more since
against all traditions and all interna-
tional law. we are cut off from all
direct communication and regular in
tercourse with the transatlantic world.
We also remember that American dip
lomats during the last months and
years of the war have cared for Ger.
man interests by proxy. in several hos
tile countries, with efficiency and great
success.
No Reason for Hostility.
1.-The text of the presidents message
in the absence of other official docu-
ments, has therefore been examined
most infinitely. Having no real reason
for hostility to the United States, re-
Numbering the traditional friendship
which has existed between the coun-
tries practically from the first days OF
the United States, we naturally appre'
ciate the words of rather nonhostile
character which, among others OF a
different character, are found in that
message as transmitted by Reuters.
I'm them President Wilson gives as
surances that he wishes no hostile
conflict with Germany, and can add
that we appreciate this and other para.
graphs in the message, joining in this
respect with President Wilson's note.

.UNDERSEA FILM DRAMA
THRILLS BIG AUDIENCE
Jules Verne Story Creates En-
thusiasm AT Belasco.

No amount OF advertising could
have been responsible for the enthu.
siasm of the large audience which at.
tended the Belasco Theater last night
on the occasion of the first showing In
Washington of the flm version of
Jules verne's 10000 Leagues Under
the Sea
Almost every seat in the house was
occupied.
Three generations turned out to see
the INSTALLATION of a book which was
famous long before motion pictures
were thought of, and at a time when
submarines were only the absurd
imaginings of an eccentric French
man-Jules Verne.
They were not disappointed. for the
submarine wanderings, at least, Of
Captain Memo were faithfully depict
ed. The film lasted about three hours.
There Is no doubt, however, that q
more detailed account OF the struggle
of the balloon survivors for life on
the Mysterious Island would have
been acceptable. An all too vague re-
lationship between the threads OF the
story in the first portion Of the aim
made interest lag. After the story of
Prince Daaker had been brought into
the limelight, however, there was no
lacking In attention
Views Of the floor Of the ocean
taken from the submarine, are re-
markable pieces OF workmanship,
made possible through the invention
OF the Williamson brothers.
As long as certain liberties have
been taken with the original version
of the story, the film could be greatly
improved by a different Arrangement
Of the sequence of events in the plot.
An unusually appropriate musical
score has been provided for this Of
fering. The production shows care
and thought in every detail, and the
as well as the submarine
views, were followed with great in
terest-

Complete returns from the preIinn-

Boys Working Reserve, as asked by
Mr.. Thurston several days ago, are
not all In, but indications point to a
gratifying representation among the
school children OF the District In the

Outlines of the work being done at
a number OF schools are daily receiv-
ed. Central High School has more
than 800 students enrolled in Red

selves to raise $1,000 for the Red
Cross fund.
Manual Training Activities.
Mckinley Manual Training School
has enrolled more than 200 in various
wartime activities. First aid classes
among the students predominant over
all other lines OF work. Groups to
make comfort bags for the fighting
men, groups to make surgical dress
ings. groups to sew, groups to collect
reading matter for the soldiers, and a

scented.
One small group is making tongue
depressors for use in hospitals. The
especial training which certain classes
receive will prominently fit them for
practically every needed war industry,

The movement to aid the country

their agricultural implements.
Not the least interesting phase of
this service is that IL has been incor-
porated into the English and Belgian
armies now fighting on French soil in
precisely the same manner. English
Tommies back of the Somme are now
cultivating French fields with precise
ly the same ardor as they are fight
ing the 'Boches" a few miles farther
in advance.
At the few points where Belgian
cUntingents are stationed on French
soil the same system is in progress,
and, as consequence, there is no
place in a llFrance today where more
men are being employed in agricul-
tural pursuits than in that precise

QUITS STAGE TO TEACH
HIS CHICKENS TO TALK
Billy Watson, Burlesque Star, An,
nOunces Retirement to Farm.

Raising talking chickens OF the
barnyard variety will be the princi.
pal occupation of Billy Watson. head
liner of the Beef Trust" at the Gay
ETY. Theater this week. after this
seasons engagement of burlesque
closes. No more will burlesQue pa
irons, to whom Billy Watson has
been a familiar figure for twenty
years, see the loquacious comedian
behind the footlights. He made a
startling discovery last year while
at home. He discovered a breed Of
chickens among his barnyard popu-
lation that he thinks can be made to
speak the English language.
So when the show is closed for
the season, Watson, owner of three
burlesque companies and a theater in
Paterson, n. J.. will strike back to
the farm to help raise food for the
allies and experiment further in rails
ing talking chickens.
Refers to the Parrot.
The parrot is a healthy. talking
bird" said Watson today. why
can't a chicken be taught to talk,
Just as well? 1 think the idea is q
good one-then maybe the value of
chickens for companions and such
like will greatly increase"
Watson ran upon this discovery, he
says, when he was feeding the
fowls. He called to them and one
appeared to answer. Watson wasn't
to be fooled. He called again. in q
different way and the chicken tried
to answer. Then he was sure of his
start and this year he plans to TX up
q separate chicken house for this va
riety of bird and act as school teach
er until the chicken can converse on
current topics.
Watson Is tired of the green rooms,
the makeup Jars. and the other
necessary accomplishments of stage
life. He wants to leave II all be-
hind. and so he has announced his
retirement for good. He has a home,
wife. and children. at Paterson, and
he thinks thirty-hve years is enough
to give TO the stage.
Began In Vaudeville.
Watson entered vaudeville while a
youngster and later broke into
burIesque. His success was so firm
ly established from the beginning
that soon he was heading his own
company. Since then he has ac-
CURED controlling interest in a num-
Der of other theatrical enterprises
and stands today one of the leaders
in the burlesque field.
'Sure, I love the stage, is the way
he expresses II. but there has been
enough of it in the family to last
it two generations, think. What
my grandchildren will do, of course,
1 cannot prophesy.
