was showing a keen inter est in a mythical invasion of the tight little island there hadn t been a continental war of importance for 40 years yet the shadow of pan- germanihn had already begun to a rise the flare up of public feeling and uneasiness which had been brew ing for years because of the germans construct on of a huge navy and their agresslveness for empire hinged on a play an englishman a home written and staged in 1000 by lt col ouy du maurler a son of the author of trilby a tremendous bit from the start it soon was being presented by several road companies and provok ed columns of discussion in all the eading newspapers the scene of the play is in the house of a middle- class engaishman whose way of life is suddenly broken up by german troops who had taken advantage of i protracted fog and a labour strike that paralyzed telegraphic service in great britain to invade the land they made a surprise landing on the coast and pushed inland before any one was aware of it the household er shoots one of the invaders and is immediately taken out and executed here by the first writing the play en but as a sop tgsent4inejita scene was added in which a motley crew of volunteers capture the lnva ders the furore was immediate be cause of the question that the play raised fuel was added to the fire by the recalling of the elaborate state ment by prime minister balfour five years before that the landing of 70 000 or more troops in england by germaty would be impossible lord roberts took a different position he held that germany had transports a- vallable to carry 200000 men and supplies to the shores of england bplnted out that their was a sort of fifth column at that day namely there were in the united kingdom a number of germans many of them trained soldiers he demanded conscription as a result of the agi tation that the play provoked large eacpansiotras granted tbthe navy and enlistment in the army was great ly increased strange to say an englishman s home was also pro duced in berlin where it was hissed off the stage in great disorder hncauie it portrayed a band of volunteers auc- pid man youve got no business here if you for forty
