INTERESTING “WAR"
INTERVIEW WITH
MRS. W. W. GORDON.
Mrs. W. W. Gordon, Sr., of Savan
nah, pleasantly known here, has just
returned from a two months stay
abroad and gives out the following
interesting interview to the Savan
nah Morning News:
An interesting narrative of the at’
titude of the people of England and
Scotland in the war was given yester
day by Mrs. W. W. Gordon, Sr., upon
her return on the City of Columbus
after spending two months abroad.
“The people of England have not
the slightest doubt that they will be
victorious in the end,” said Mrs. Gor
don. “Sir Edward Grey and other
English officials did all they could to
prevent the war. They tried their
best to placate Austria and Germany,
but when Germany declared treaties
were nothing more than paper there
was nothing to do but fight.
“I was on my way trom London to
Perthshire, in Scotland, when war
was declared. We passed many re
cruits. At Perth there was the wild
est enthusiasm. As the troop trains
left the people waved their hats and
shouted themselves hoarse.
“All are anxious to go to the front.
Boys 17 and 18 years old are enlisting
wherever they will be taken. At
one little village in Scotland only six
men are left. Forty joined the army.
“The war has welded the Empire
together in one great unit. All fac
tional differences have been forgotten
in the one desire to aid the country in
the war against Germany.
“The surprise has been the en
thusiastic loyalty of India. It
; is generally known that many Indians
I have been sent to the front. They
I are making great soldiers. Of course
England expected Canada and Aus
tralia to aid, but the attitude of India
has been a pleasant surprise.
I “Many of the greatest generals in
the country are unable to go to the
fighting line. They are kept to drill
recruits. It L desired to have the re
-1 cruits in as good condition as possible
I before sending them to take part in
battles.
“I was in Scotland about seven
weeks. When I returned to London
I did not notice any great change ex
cept that they have cannon and
searchlights on the buildings so as
to be prepared for German aero
planes. It is not that they expect an
attack from the air so much as they
want to be prepared.
“There is little excitement in Lon
don. All news as to the movement of
armies and similar things are rigidly
i censored before they are given out.
But the people are not complaining.
\ They have implicit confidence in Lord
Kitchener and other leaders and are
willing to wait until it is best for the
government to give the news out.
i “There, too, all are anxious to go to
the front. There are more volun
teers than have been asked for. I
believe Kitchener has already gotten
100,000 men asked. Ho can get as
! many more as he wants.”
While Mrs. Gordon was in London
!on her way home, Rudyard Kipling
and Mrs. Kipling called at her hotel,
but she was not in. In a letter ex
pressing regrets at their failure to
see her Mrs. Kipling wrote that she
was sending her young son to the
front.
Mrs. Gordon told of the opinion of
some of the under German officers as
related to her by British army officers
and others. She said the Germans
declared that after they had captured
Baris thev would take England and
then the United States. The remark
was made to an American woman who
replied that the United States could
drop Germany in Texas and hardly
I know it v as there.
She also told of the difficulty in ob
taining news of the fate of British
soldiers and officers wounded or taken
by Germans. The American ambas-
I sador at Berlin has done a great deal
i to obtain information, but in many In
stances Germans have curtly refused
his requests.
Mrs. Gordon wrote to Minister
Stovall in Switzerland in an effort to
find out the fate of acquaintances,
, whose relatives were worried about
■ them, and Mr. Stovall immediately
! did what he could to ascertain what
had become of them.
When she left London Mrs. Gordon
intended to go to Switzerland and

had engaged rooms, but after war
had been declared she abandoned the
trip. She was accompanied to Europe
by Mrs. Wayne Barker, of Newark,
N. J„ a daughter. Together they vis
ited Mrs. Low, another daughter of
Mrs. Gordon in Scotland. There they
were joined by Mr. Cortlandt and Miss
Elizabeth Barker, children of Mrs.
Barker. The grandchildren returned
to America with Mrs. Gordon, leaving
her in New York to go to their home.
Mrs. Barker returned previously.
Mrs. Gordon had no trouble leaving
England. Mrs. Barker made reserva
tions for the party on the steamship
Adriatic, on which Mrs. Gordon and
grandchildren sailed from Liverpool.
On the way over they saw a number
of warships, but they were too far
away to be recognized.
“After we left Liverpool I was
awakened by the flash of a search
light,” said Mrs. Gordon. “I don’t
know whether it was a vessel con
voying us, but I continued to see the
searchlight until we reached Queens
town. Some time afterwards we
passed through a lot of broken ice,,
but saw no icebergs. But when we
got in the Gulf stream the tempera
ture was very pleasant. On the whole
we had a pleasant crossing.”

Mrs. John Watson, of Los Angeles,
who has been visiting Mrs. Turner
Howard and w’ho with Mr. Watson

A TRIBUTE TO MISS DURBAN.
“La Discussion," the Havana daily,
has the following beautiful tribute to
Miss Adele Durban, who is now visit
ing her nieces, Mrs. J. 11. McNeill and
Miss Cecile Durban:
The very eminent teacher, Miss Dur
ban, leaves on next Tuesday for the
United States in search of repose af
ter more than forty-five years of in
cessant labor in this country, to which
she is so tenderly attached and which
she looks upon as her own.
Miss Durban has taught in the best
families of this capital; we recall
among them that of Lount Diana, de
Armas, Baro Cartaya, Terry, Rabel,
Galun, Carona, F del Valle, Dr. Palacio,
etc.
Our war of independence afforded
Miss Durban the opportunity of show
ing on repeated occasions the great in
terest that she took in the Cuban
cause, aiding in every possible way the
realization of their aspirations. The
poor peasants who were concentrated
In the cities by Weyler's cruel order,
saw in her an angel of comfort, who
was ever ready to aid them in those
days of suffering.
She who has been so good towards
the Cubans, imparting her knowledge
and giving her love, will undoubtedly
reap the happiness which God has des
tined tor such kind hearts. We hope
to have her soon' again in our midst
for we shall miss her greatly during
the months of her absence.
—Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Arnold have
] returned to the city for the winter

home.

ANNETTE KELLERMANN IN
"NEPTUNE’S DAUGHTER."
One of the most notable of recent
attainments in photo-drama, we are
told, is that delightful fantasy of the
sea in which Annette Kellermann of
vaudeville fame springs into promi
nence as a dramatic artist of unques
tioned versatility. The medium of her
expression Is an Imaginary story,
“Neptune's Daughter," tn which Miss
Kellermann appears for tho first time
in natural surroundings—in briny seas,
still lakes, on rugged cliffs, dizzy pre
cipices, and at lust in the palace of a
mortal king. One may easily imagine
(ho richness of such scenes and the
splendor that Is added by the aggre
gation of brilliant screen stars who
support Miss Kellermann in this pre
tentious production. One hundred of
the brightest children-artists on tho
stage appear with Miss Kelelrmann in
this fairy-story pantomlne, and as a
wood-nymph she herself joins tn their
merry sports with all the naive joy
ousimss of a child. All in all, it is such
a production as delights poet and*cynie
alike, and makes no discrimination for
age.
“Neptune’s Daughter" comes to the
Grand theatre next Tueßday for a
three days' engagement with daily
matinees.

Tho Gorman steamer Tannenfels
