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 >&M m Hnß * '* * f v '-- Annette Kellerraann, who will be seen at the Grand in “Nep tun«3 Daughter,” Three Days, Starting Next Tuesday, Daily Matinees. THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. 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.

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 | and are occupying their Greene street home. j —Dr. and Mrs. John Wright have ! an apartment at Dr. Thomas Wright’s [for the winter. —Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hanson have moved to a cottage near Le Bon Air.

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.
