DADDY LONG LEGS"

When Henry Miller FIRST read the
manuscript Of Daddy Long Legs, which
Jean Webster had dramatized for HIM
from her own book Of the same title,
he saw at once the charm that this un-
usual play would have. To his mind the
story presented a picture which he Wis
ualized as it eventually was presented
on the stage, and at once set about pro-
ducing 10.
He saw flrst a quaint little maid slav-
ing in a cherries New England found
ling home, with hands red and rough
from overwork and a head fun Of
dreams that toll and drudgery had fall
ed 10 crush out Here was a girl with
a spark Of humor and q head full Of ro-
nance who built a big dream IN which
she was a modern Cinderella. And then
the tale went on to picture a new trus-
tee, a rich and powerful man OF bust
ness who had his unwilling interest
aroused in the strange founding drudge
and watching her rebellion against the
harshness of LIE found something
stirring also in his own heart. Then
pendletOn, the trustee, without disoos-
ing his identity TO Judy" arranged to
-hhN' AANA SUM W AlAAAhNs AHttA nbA3
the drudge, was transposed by the
magic Of his wealth into pretty Judy"
Of big college and her dreams became
reality-that is all of thom except the
dream Of the lover who would come 10
WOO her. And reading further into the
story Mr.. Miller found how the suitor
finally came and "Judy's" dreams all
came true and fascinated by the charm
and humor Of the little play he gave II
a presentation that was an instant sue
cess. Daddy Long Legs" will be at
The Playhouse tomorrow and Wednes-

iustment Of troops made necessary by
the increase in companies to $50 men

Battalion OF the 3iith Infantry, Of

giving each company in the future a
barracks and half for the aocommo-

GERMANY soon To
USE SEA RAIDERS
speedy Vessels Will be Sent
Out to Prey on De-
stroyerS
ALLIED NAVIES
ARE ON GUARD

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.--Reliable in
formation is understood TO have reach
ed the British Admiralty that Germany
will supplement her winter U-boat ac-
tiVities with speedy commerce raiders
which viii cruise In the Atlantic and
may operate sporadically Off the Amer
lean coast. Nice-Admiral Sims, com
manding the American naval forces IN
European waters, has warned ms
command to be on the lookout for
raiders flying neutral flags ors-other-
wise disguised. The entire navy Is
continuing a policy Of the utmost
vigilance against mysterious cralt
which appear near shipping lanes.
The general warning against raiders
IA regarded now as based on some
thing more than the routine pre-
caution which heretofore has been
taken by the inter-allied navies. Not
only have reports reached the British
Admiralty concerning Germanys modi-
fed winter campaign on the high
seas, but in two instances the raiders
have put in an appearance.
The two main features Of the Ger
man policy are understood TO be, FIRST
TO use raiders TO attack conveys OF
merchantmen and, second, to employ
them In a sacrifcial campaign on the
high seas or perhaps OF the American
coast
The FIRST feature is giving the Brit
ish Admiralty and the American Navy
Department the more concern. For
some time cargo vessels, especially
vessels OF small tonnage. have been
gathered in groups and sent out under
conveys OF destroyers Admiral tBen-
son. chief Of naval operations, has ex-
planned how this plan worked effec-
lively for groups OF vessels crossing
the Atlantic.
But the plan admittedly was not
calculated TO meet the especial danger
OF attack from raiders. Destroyors are
the logical enemy at the U-boats, but
are. generally speaking, not able TO
cope with raiders armed with siX-lnch
OF heavier guns.
It Is explained here that there are
hundreds Of ships In such neutral
ports as Rotterdam, for example,
which might put 10 sea and become
speedily transformed into German
commerce raiders. These vessels are
used for the Rhine trade or are lying
idle, and there is no reason why they
could not be utilized by Germany for
war purposes in pursuance OF any sci
plan for commerce raidlng on an ex-
tensive scale.
Any prospective German plan e
send raiders on the American coast o.
20 use them TO create havoc indscrim
inately on the high seas would not b
regarded as serious military menace b
either British or American naval auth
critics. This plan might brighten shiI
ping and raise freight and insuranC
rates, which would be Germanys chi,
Z object, but no such raider could la,
long before the war craft OF the inter
allied navies.
