The German reply to the Am
erican note 01 inquiry relative to
tlie i>usse.\ again leaves tne ad
ministration iioundering hign and
dry on tlie suumarine issue and
aiso lurther intensities tlie behet
that the ettort to arrive at some
denmte means of stopping the
frequent destruction 01 passenger
cariying ships is a hopeless labor.
1 he Uncling of fragments of a
torpedo in the wrecked hold of
the .Sussex, to say nothing of the
evidence of the passengers that
they saw the wake of the deadly
instrument, seems incontroverti
ble evidence that the vessel was
attacked by one of the under sea
vessels.
1 he Berlin government, how
ever, asserts that if the vessel
was attacked it was not by one
of the U boats- The matter then
seems to resolve itself into the
question of who, if not the Ger
mans, did fire the torpedo which
came so near to precipitating an
unforgettable disaster? As Ger
many refuses to assume responsi
bility, the affair will have to re
main one of those inexplicable
mysteries that have already caus
ed serious doubt of the sincerity
of some of the contenders in this
utterly inhumane struggle for pow
er. The Sussex is not the first
vessel to be sunk from causes
Vvremingly well determined but
which no one will accept re
sponsibility. And, singularly
enough, a large share of those
vessels so mysteriously destroyed
.vere passenger vessels the de
struction of which was inevita
bly bound to bring condemnation
to whoever wa responsible. The
possibility of destruction by float
ing mines is, of course a factor
that cannot be overlooked in pass
ing judgment on such incidents
but, at the same time, it is diffi
cult to reconcile the finding of tor
pedo fragments and other unmis
xakable evidences with the float
ing mine theory. The peculiar
tendency of mines to somehow
manage to get into the path of
passenger vessels will probably
remain an unsolvable mystery
until the judgment day when all
may have a chance to take a peek
into that "Great Black Book of
Jobs.” Then we may possibly dis
cover something to confirm prev
ious surmises
The movies will get most any
one going, provided they are not
blind, dhe proof of it is found
in the experiences of a San Fran
cisco man who has just returned
from China where he has succeed
ed in converting the heathen
Chinee to the belief that the fas
cinating allurements of the screen
are about the greatest thing ever
But it was not always thus. Seven
i ears ago this man went to the
Celestial kingdom on speculation
bent. He crossed the Pacific
with a moving picture projector
opened a theater in Canton where
he thought the “silent appeal" so
deftly described by the press
agents would touch the Chinese
right on the soft spot. But he
reckoned w ithout his host for the
Celestials would have none of it—
for a time. For the first week he
showed not a man entered the
door. The “latest American re
leases” did not work worth a cent
when it come to releasing the
wary Chink fro m his coin. The
cowboys raced across the desert
and rescued the dazzling heroine
from the clutches of the bandits;
deserted .Molly wept in vain for
her recreant lover who had fled
with the yellow haired waitress
in the beanry but, nary a slant
eyed observer witnessed the
agony. Such doings were not for
Air. John Chinaman. The San
ranciscan was on the verge of
despair when the bright idea hit
him to “buy” an audience if he
could not get one any other way.
In other words he concluded to
pay a bunch of the ancestor wor
shippers to come in and see his
-how. Being an American he
hated to go back and say that had
not only failed but had also been
"skunked.” So he proceeded to
hire an audience by paying one
yen to every Chinaman who
would attend his show. The first
night, with a packed house, he
put on an especially lively Wild
W est reel. Doubless because
paid pretty well, the audience
>oked on complacently1 for a while.

and opened a lively duel with the
deputy sheriffs. Right then things
commenced to happen. The Chin
ese thought it was the real thing
and mobbed the screen! The San
Francisco man came out of the
melee with two handsome black
eyes and a broken rib but his for
tune was made. He did the same
thing again and again and finally
it “took” Today he owns more
than one hundred picture thea
