Ltftnard W'boA announced tut night that
n6ther camp on th lln of the preitnt
6n will be held h&r front Septmbr i
until Octobtr t. Captain Gordon John
lon, adjutant of the present camp, hna
been Inntructcd to notify all who naked
pJrmlislon to enroll In the preaent camp,
nut whoa appllcntlona arrived late, that
tliej- wilt have an opportunity to get mili
tary Ualnln t that time.
Mori than 404 enrolment for the neW
ramp aro already on flle, nnd It la K
tetd that the number will be swelled
until the attendance equals, It It floes
not exceed, that of 1S00 nt the present
ctmp. Much of the new enrolment, It la
expected, wilt cbme from the Middle West
and South, since It has been found un
feasible on account of the lack of equip
ment concentrated In those sections to
hold camps there, as had been hoped for.
The tame officers will be detailed hero
for the second camp period, and the same
course of Instruction lll be followed.
The sinking of the Arabic roritlnues to
day to be the tnnln topic of conversation.
Of the tnnnv well known men In the canm
rlone would speak for publication. The
stnlimenl seems to be that the action of
the Government cannot be affected bv
nHythlno- said at this time and that the
best policy Is to let those In authority do
the talking.
There was little new In the program of
training at the cntnp today. The second
squadron of cavalry, composed of mem
bers of Companies R. F, a and 11, re
turned from their hike, on which they left
early yesterday. They bivouacked for the
nlRht about seven miles north of tho
camp. The drat squadron will leave
some time today on a similar hike.
The purpose of these nne-nlftht camps Is
to famlllnrlze the recruits In the cavalry
with the proper method of caring for the,
horses ana equipment, as well aa ot them
selves, when away from the camp over
rilftht. Target practice on the range continued
today, ahd will be completed Monday,
when the record practice will be corn
pitted by the shooting off ot the strings
nt 200 and 300 yards, rapid fire. The
scores will be made known Monday or
Tuesday, and the names of those men
who have qualified as either "expert
sharpshooters," "sharpshooters," or
"marksmen" announced. Many, of course,
will fall to qualify In any of the above
classes nnd be rated as "bolo" men.
The term "bolo" In this connection Is
a. survival of the Philippine Insurrection,
At that time there were not among the
Insurrectos enough rifles to go around.
The few there were were naturally given
out to those who wore the best shots
The poorer shots were armed with the
"bolo," which Is n vicious knife, in the
artny the term Is now applied to all those
who are unable to qualify as average
hots.

$25,000,000 MOVIE
TRUST RUMORED
Wall Street Men Said to Be
Backing a Big Consolidn
tion of Producers
By the Photoplay Editor
One of the most gigantic motion pic
ture combinations yet Conceived Is In
the process of formation, and If tha carefully-laid
plans do not go awry. It wilt
be consummated within the next few
I "CIB " iHC IUIIIUI TTIIH.lt 'sn i.n
theatrical weekly Introduces, of a 25,
000,000 movie trust.
The new concern villi be undertaken
with the backing of Wall street capl
tallsts.
In fact, a group of financiers from the
downtown district, whose attention was
attracted by the reports of the enormous
earnings ot motion picture enterprises,
turned their gnza uptown and, After n
thorough Investigation, they are attempt
ing to bring nbout a merger which will
bind a number ot the big picture corpora
tions Into a gigantic company, which will
occupy In the amusement world such a
position as United States Steel Corpora
tion does In the business world.
Among the concerns which hate been
asked to enter the combination aro tho
1'iirflinoUnt Pictures Corporation, tin
World Kllm Corporation, the Mutual FlUf
Corporation, the V. 1.. 8. E. and the Uni
versal. While It Is by no means 'ertnln that
all of the companies above mentioned
will enter the combination, It Is the ob
ject of the promoters of the merger to
have the new concern to be no less
stiong than It would be It all these com
panies entered into the deal.
Theiefore, If any of the above do not
wish to r-nler the combine, other of the
big companies wilt be Invited to Join
As a matter of fact, the promoters de
sire to have every large mctlon-plclu'e
concern In the 1'nlted States enter the
combination.
The desire Is to centralize absolutely
both the business and the artistic ends
of the movlng-plcture Industry, nnd to
conduct It under the principles of con
centration, Economy and efficiency, which
have so revolutionized the commercial af
fairs mid made American "big business"
the amazement ot the entire world.
A capitalization or at leant .000,000
would be necessary to float the scheme.
A gigantic corporation representing two
ot even three times that amount Is tho
goal of the promoters, though enough of
the business could he concentrated In a
25.000,000 compan to make the pioject
wolth while and practical!) to dominate
the motion-picture Held.
While this scheme Is still In a formative
htnge. It has proceeded far enough to
warrant the prediction that it will be car
ried through within a very short time.
The proposition, as outlined by the
promoters. Is so very attractive that It
Is difficult to see how the director of
any of the existing corporations can je
fraln from considering It favorably.
It Is mathematically certain to Increase
the profits of all concerns, as well ub to
further the perfection of motlon-picturu
art, so there Is really no vital reason for
any of the bit corporations holding out.

AMERICANS HAVE LOST
VIRILITY, DOCTOR SAYS
Professor Burr, of University of
Pennsylvania, Sees Grow
ing Effeminacy
Americans have "lost virility and aro
becoming effemlnlred." In the opinion of
Dr. Chnrles W. Burr, of 1918 Spruce street,
professor of mental diseases at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He further as
sorts that the health of the country Is
being affected tllsadvnntngeously by the
fads nnd follies of "the little groups of
serious thinkers."
The arraignment of those who "worship
the god of newness" Is made In an article
by Dr. Burr nppcarlng In the current
Issue of the New York Medical Journal
under the caption. "Adolescent Insanity
and National Health " Among other
stntcments In the article Is the following:
"A nation's breakdown Is foreshad
owed by increasing degeneration In Its
citizens. Frequently the degenerates
themselves, overrellned, overcultured
oversensitive, mistake disease for heRlth
nnd Interpret as signs of progress things
which really prognosticate racial death.
The more Intelligent and softer bred
among them mlstakt running around In
n circle, making a great noise nnd preach
Inn altruism for progress, and are as
hnppv as a puppy chnslnjt Its tall and
thinking It Is going to get somothng
when It gets it."
Doctor Burr also asserts that such
iiruuie niiBiniie unrest for scientific In-
Ulsltlvenes. Hint thev l,nv .,,. -,..,..,
for the teachings of history and that
"we In this country suffer more thnn

self-appointed Improvers of the machin
ery or the unlveise. because every man's
opinion Is as good an another's."
He lemaiks further that there Is mora

there has ever been befoie In lt hi.

II
Watchful Waiting and
What It Has Done
for Mexico
The eighth article on this
pertinent subject will ap
pear in Sunday'a PUBLIC
LEDGER. Mr. Raymond
G. Carroll contrasts the at
titude of the United States
Government with the time
honored custom of the Brit
ish Government. John
Bull's foreign policy has al
ways been based on the
protection of the lives and
property of British sub
jects. United States citi
zens in Mexico were told
by Secretary Bryan they
had no business below
Rio Grande. Literally he
told them to quit the
country and leave it to
Mexican bandits! Read the
details in Sunday's PUB
LIC LEDGER.
Ill
Georgia and the Leo
Frank Case
The latest feat of Judge
Lynch promises to occupy
the nation's attention for
more than the usual nine
days. The dispatches of
the LEDGER correspon
dent on the spot prove that
there is more behind this
outrage on justice than
meets the eye, and that the
half has not yet been told.
Sunday's PUBLIC LED
GER will reveal more of
the details which prompted
Georgia to place such a de
liberate affront upon con
stitutional law.

mote event, of war betwixt
this country and his native
land, on which side would,
his whole-hearted sympa
thies rest? Would he an
swer the call of the land of
his adoption, or give first
heed to the plight of his
"motherland"? The times
call for a pronouncement
on this matter, and Sun
day's PUBLIC LEDGER
has a pertinent article
thereon in the form of an
interview with Henry R.
Marshall, the noted pacifist
and author of "War and
Peace."
