Geneva, Sept. 3.
A French officer h escaped from
Mannheim during a panic caused by the
last British night air raid has arrived
here. He states that while their guar
dams fled for shelter British officers
who were prisoners, who We're sent to
Mannheim by the Germans as reprisals
for the air raids, all urn out and
cheered their airmen, shouting: Give
them hell, boys Don't mind us :" French
and Belgian officers shouted, "Vive
Angleterre :"
The airmen, whose faces We're plainly
visible in the rays of the ~searchlights,
seemed to hear, because not a single
bomb was dropped in the camp.
1t is reported from Kreuzlingen that
bombs have virtually destroyed the
poison gas factory in the suburbs of
Mannheim. and the wind blew the fumes
over the eastern portion of the town,
casing seventy-eight persons, who are
now in the hospital. thereby making the
people realize, perhaps for the first time,
the vile methods introduced by the Ger
at the front.

Child Actress Wins Laurels in

A resourceful n self-assured child

palpably interested the audience attend
ing the first performance here of Eleanor
Gates's new comedy, phoebe Pretends,"
at the opening Of the Broad yesterday
afternoon. Little Miss Kennedy enacts
her role with pert and often amusing
emphasis.
The authors intent seems to have been
to entrust a footlight solution OF the
divorce problem to n child and to view,
the conditions arising from a marital
estrangement from the standpoint of
the offspring. In this instance, breezy
little Phoebe's opinions undergo consid-
cradle vacillation. Following her
mothers death she eventually selects a
suitable stepmother. As this attractive
person happens to inspire the tots
father with admiration and love, the
curtain falls On a blissful climax.
In THE Poor Little Rich Girl" Miss
Gates developed with some skill an ap-
pealing, fantastic framework. In the
present offering 1t Is net easy to tell
whether her intent Is social propaganda

The state of health of Caillaux, who
has been detained in prison for several

terial information of the charges against
him, has now been formally brought to
the attention of Captain Boquehardon,

that CaiIlaux had grown much thin

OF UTTERANCE
CHARGED TO HERTLING
German Press Scores Chancellor's Birthday Speech.
Failed to Answer Lord Cecil or Oppose
Pan-Germans
BY GEORGE r. RENWICK

may be certain that the Germany with
which Cecil appears to sympathize has
lost n large number of IT'S supporters.
No one can expect us to support Cecil's
method of fighting Pan.Germanism by
killing its opponents"
Such stupidities are interesting evi.
derce of the confused state of the Ger
man mind. The Frankfurter Zeitung
believes that CeCiIs utterance Is clear
proof Of the Entente's intention to an
initiate Germany. It regards that as
very pjtiful, seeing hat "the belief that
the wal ammo be ended by arms gains
ground in Germany and that Hertling no
longer lives under the illusion of that
peace by victory of which the Pan-Ger-
mans ave not yet ceased to talk"
The same journal regrets. however.
that it cannot produce the Chancellor's
word for it and that his latest speech
still shows no sign of repentance.
Tho Berlinor Tageblatt discovers a
more moderate tone in Cecil's interview,
but says that 1t does not inspire with
hope, for there is only one Germany
when she is threatened with smashing
defeat and all its consequence, and Cecil
must not forget that"
Virtually all other Berlin Journals re-
gard the Cecil utterance as n definite
refusal to have anything to do with
peace on n other basis than the COM
plete defeat of Germany, n there are
naturally the usual comments about in
nocent Germany, which has accom-
plished so much for humanity. and about
her b~loodthirsty enemies.
Macmillan Harden has again beer

ticle which aroused the ire Of the mill
tary authorities was a long and ponder
Gus Egyptian parable in Hardln's heavi-
est, dullest and most involved style. It
is difficult to see all he was driving at
but there are evident though indirect
references. presumably to the Kaiser
and other ruling personalities, n the
military authorities apparently solved
the riddle and so decided to silence the
parable maker.

Count Won Hertling's birthday speech
has reused no great enthusiasm in Ger
many. Even the favored organ Ger
mania hints that the Chancellor shows
himself to be more of a philosopher than
a statesman who has to deal with
realities.
Vorwaerts heads his answer to Lord
Robert Cecil as mot happy" n thinks
that the Chancellor was in rather bad
temper, though it was his birthday. 1t
goes on TO say:
"Hertling had an excellent opportu-
nifty to smite a weapon from the hanu
of the enemy by declaring himself TO be
the Chancellor of the Reichstag major
ity. standing in opposition to the Pan
Germans. Instead of that, however. he
contented himself with n compliment to
the occupant of the throne, which may
be effective in Germany. but which can
hardly be regarded abroad as proof pos
tive that the Pan-Germans are not the
ruling factor in German politics.
He makes no attempt to deal with
the great problems of the time, such as
democracy and the league of nations,
and for that reason we find the vacuity
"a AAi' ~ az NSN'a "'hate 49,
word about Prussian franchise reform
appears in his speech. No effort is made
to outline that new Germany for which
thousands and thousands are giving
their%lives. Hertling is firmly rooted in
the old order of things, and every recog-
milton of the coming new time is foreign
TO his nature"
Having thus presented an interesting
picture of the German Chancellor as a
convinced. stubborn Pan.German, For-
waerts takes the Pan-Cermans under its
accommodating wing, and In commenting
on the Cecil interview declares that they
are not responsible for the prolongatio
of the war. Had they been responsible
it says, IA storm of popular will woul
have blown them away"
That absurdity is followed up by a
