4r'ERXA3Y NOW TIKNS TO SHARPEST WEAPON ^on Bethmann-Hollweg: Says Jke conrse to Submarine Warfare is Had Willi Full Knowledge of Ks Seriousness and Only as Step lo Save Powers Fram Humiliation and Degradation. Berlin, Jan. o\ (via Londan, Feb. 1).?Chancellor von Bethmana-Hol] veg ami other ministers attended an important meeting of the w.y.s a?:-', means rommitUe of lire reichstag *o day at which the entire s* it:: at ion wa>: gene over an ) .new steps planned hv ilie central ]:~w<.-rs were considerca. The chancellor opened the ?it:in-; with a spee n of which the keyno:o words were: 'SYe have been challenged to fighi it. the end. We accent the challenge, we stake everything aud we shall be victorious." The secretary of State for the al mirauy s^okc <ji uj*; biuiuuua uuw the technical, military and naval viewpoint. Detailed statistical data in regard to the economic position of the world was supplied by the secre tary of the interior and Foreign Sec retary Zimmerman replied to several special questions. i The committee then went into se cret session at which speeches were made by representatives of the Cen-i tris, National, Liberal and Progres-! i sive parties. Why He Hag iCbanged. In his address Chancellor von Beth mann-Hollweg explained why in March and May of last year he had opposed unrestricted submarine war fare, and why again in September, "according to the unanimous judg-, ment of the political and military au- ; thorities, the question was considered -ripe tor decision.'' ; The chancellor repeated his previ ?us utterance that as soon as lie, in agreement with the supreme army command, reached the conviction that ruthless submarine war would bring Germany nearer a victory the U-boat war would be started. "By this development of the situa tion the decision concerning sub marine warfare has been forced into the last acute stage," said the chan cellor. "The question of U-boat war, -as members of the reichstag will re member, has occupied us three times in this committee?namely in March,. 'Va? on/-} Sanfomhflp nf last vflar Oil I -each oocasion in an exhaustive state- j f ment I exposed the points for and! against this question. I emphasized! on each occasion that I was speak-J ing protein pore and not as a sup- { .porter in principle or opponent in; principle of the unrestricted employ ment of U-boats, but in consideration the military political and econom ic situation as a whole. Beady for Extremes. "I have always proceeded from the standpoint whether U-boat war would bring us nearer victorious peace or liot. Every means, I said in Marcn, that was calculated to shorten the war constituted the most humane po licy to follow. When the most rutn-! Jess methods are considered best cal culated to lead us to victory and -swift victory, 1 said then they must Ibe employed. "This moment has now arrived.' Last autumn the time was not yet ripe, but today the moL-eui has come when, with the greatest prospect of success we can undertake the enter prise. We must, therefore, not wait, any longer. y i "Where has there been any changes in tl* situation?' the chancellor asK-j ed. "In the first ?place t-he most im-; jortant fact of all is that the number of our submarines has been very con siderably increased as compared with /Hast spring, and thereby a firm bas?s' for success iu-.s been established. The second decisive reason is the -fcad cereal harvest of the world. This fact already confronts England, i and Italy with 6erious difficlties: which oy aifans cf unrestricted U-boat warfare will be brought to a point r i Thn r*r\ol nildc_ T> L UUl/^ai auv wua ^ wvwr I *ion, too, :s a vital question in war.

THE IROX WOMAN* OPEKA HOUSE WEDNESDAY 1 "The Iron Woman"' introduces to ho \Totrn nrn?rsm Nance O'Neil, ne of the foremost dramatic artists t this generation . As a tragedienne, Iiss O'Xeil ranks very High, but she as also the varsatility which enables er to portray all the phases of hu aan emotion. In "Sarah Maitland," "The Iron 'Woman") she has a part rhich will live long in the minds of hose who see it. Margaret Deland, author of "The Lwakening of Helena Ritchie,'' and tie "Old Chester" tales, is also the reator of "The Iron Woman." The icturization follows the book closely, nd as "The Iron Woman"' is one or tie strongest novels written in the aet decade, this will be welcome ews to readers of the book. Wal- : ice C. Clifton, who scenar'oized the :obert W. Service poems for the; creen, made the scenario from the ovel for Popular Plays and Players.1; The Iron Woman" is the first Metro ' roduction to be directed by Carl [arbaugh, who has done some notable < ork for other producing companies. The role of "Sarah Maitland," play- ; i by Nance O'Neil, is all that the ' hoto-drama's title implies. She is 1 iilv a woman of iron. At his death, er husband has left her his immense ] on mills to manage, ana she ful ils her trust with grim devotion. It 1 sems as though the iron has enter- 1 d into her veins and transformed er nature. She allows no nonsense [ r levity in her heme. She will have ] o decorations. One purpose rules er, and that is to give over to her m Blair, on his graduation from col- * :ge, the management of the mills in much more thriving condition than ' er husband has left them. Love for J av ann ie the motive* for all this hilt ' 3 she hides her feelings behind a Did exterior, she receives no sym athy, and is not given credit for her, 2ep affection. j Blair squanders money and openly outs his mother. He is in love with lizabeth Ferguson, who really loves avid Ritchie, the son of Helena Rit lie. When Elizabeth in a moment t niaue breaks her engagement to avid, Blair persuades her to marry ; Im at once. His mother is so dls- j usted at hie duplicity that she dis- j Lherts him, and forces him to earn t Is own living. In a rage, he leaves , lizabeth. The events ^hat follow re so thrilling in their intensity, so [tal an interpretation of human na- * ire, that it would be unfair to be ay the story to those who prefer j ot to know the end until they go > it. Suffflce it to say that the de- , ouement is wholly satisfying. | j Miss O'Neil has the support of Al- t ed Hickman as "Blair,'' Einar Lin- ( sn as "David," Evelyn Brent, well own to Metro patrons, as "Nannie 'aitland," Blair's sister, and beautl il Christine Mayo, last seen in "The pell of the Yukon," as "Helen Rit hie."

"No effort will be made to can- j vass for large subscriptions. A dot-.. lar or two from a number of friends > will be preferred to greater amounts from fewer contributors. "The first check to be received was from Mr. Purdy, the originator of the plan. In a letter to The Gamecock, Mr. Pudy says. "I believe the alumni of the university would all welcome an opportunity to show their appre ciation of the worth of "Bob" Gon zales by contributing to a fund to present to tne university some me morial of him.'
