i UESDAY EVENING,
! quotes a letter to the Ober-President
i of the Rhine province as follows:
"While sympathizing fully wiUi
j the natural desire of the German
: people to accord a welcome to the
; returning prisoners of war, never
theless. in view of the fact that the
military occupation must continue
i until the treaty of peace is ratified
I by the Allied governments, and par
' ticularly in view of the necessity of
preventing any semblance of dis
order which might compel a resort
i to disciplinary action, the command
ing general directs that you have
the regierungs-praesidents of Cob
lenz and Trier notify the population
of their respective bezirks that the
! reception of returning prisoners of
war must be limited to personal and
j family receptions, and must not bo
made the occasion of official recep
tions. processions or any other pub
i lie assemblies.
"This will not. of course, be con
strued to prevent the lted Cross
i authorities from serving refresh
ments at railroad stations."
FAST MAIL SITY YEARS AGO
The first fast mail on a railway
west of the Mississippi was run over
the Hannibal and St. Joseph line, a
; northern Missouri railroad between
j Hannibal on the Mississippi and St.
Joseph on the Missouri. This road
| was completed more than sixty
years ago and in April a test fast
mail run was made.
The mails were then carried over
land from St. Joseph to Sacramento.
; ar.xi in order to get i\ Government
j contract ti was necessary to estab
-1 lish a new record for speed. The
locomotive was a crude affair, bu.n
--; :ng wood, and the mils were light
i and the track was not ballasted.
Add Clark was the engineer, and liis
I ivstructions were 10 make a record
that would stand for 50 years.
Moreover, he came near doing it;
in fact, he did do it so far as that
particular railway was concerned.
The distance from Hannibal to
St. Joseph is 2u6 miles, and the fast
mail covered the route in a few sec
onds over four hours, or at the rate
of 50 miles an hour for the run.
This included two stops for fuel,
hut these were brief, for 2 small
1 armies of men were waiting, each
with an armful of wood.—Detroit

Burglar Alarm Draws
Crowd but No Burglar
i 1
Clanging like a bell at a railway
I j crossing when a train is approach
ing. the burglar alarm in front of
• the Montgomery coal building, cor
ner of Third and Chestnut streets,
attracted a big crowd of curious
people at 11.30 o'clock last night.
The gong went off without warning
and could bo heard for blocks.
Pedestrians hurrying along in the
1 rain'stopped and gathered in front
I of the building until the sidewalk
j was blocked.
j A traffic policeman appeared and
. | marched majestically up to the
' | front of the building. The door was
' 1 locked and he didn't know just ex
' i actly what to do. when the watch
] man stuck his head out of the door
; j and said something was wrong with
; i the alarm and that burglars were
■ | not trying to break into the vault.
The policeman leaned nonchal

II of the door. Presently an electri- !

ciplcs quite consistent with the final
action.
Explains \ctlon
"I remember saying to the com
mittee when I was here in March
something to the effect that the Brit
ish draft had constituted the basis.
1 thought afterward that that was
misleading, and I was very glad to
tell the committee just what I meant.
"Some months before the confer
ence assembled, a plan for the League
of Nations had been drawn up by a
British committee at the head of
which was Mr. Phillimore —1 believe
the Mr. Phillimore who was known
as the authority on international law.
A copy of that document was sent
to me and I built upon that draft. 1
will not now say whether I thought
it was better or not an improvement,
but I built on- that draft which was
I quite different, inasmuch as it put
definiteness where there had been
what seemed indefiniteness in the
Phillimore suggestions. Then be
tween that time and the time of the
formation of the commission on the
League of Nations, I had the advant
age of seeing a paper by General
: Smuts, of South Africa, who seemed
to me to have done, some very clear
thinking, particularly with regard to
what was to be done with the pieces
of the dismembered empire. After I
got to Paris, therefore, I rewrote the
document to which I have alluded, and
you may have noticed that it consist
ed of a series of Articles and then
supplementary agreements. It was
in the supplementary agreements that
I embodied the additional ideas that
had come to me not only from Gener
|al Smuts - paper, but from other dis-
I cussions. That is the full story of
| how the plan which 1 sent to the com
! mittee was built up."
Ask Aliont Smuts* Plnn
| Senator Lodge: "Then, of course,
I it is obvious that the General Smuts
i plan had been used. That appears on
| the face of the document.
! The President: "Yes."
! Senator Lodge: "Then there was a j
previous draft in addition to the one
| you have sent to us. You spoke of a
redraft. That was not submitted to
the committee.
The President: "No; that was pri
vately my own."
Senator Lodge: "Was it before our
commission?
The President: "No."
The President said a draft of Ar
ticle ten which Senator Johnson had
presented to the committee "was
part of the draft which preceded the
draft which was sent to you."
Senator Johnson: "It was the origi
nal plan?"
The President: "It was the original
form of Article ten."
Asked by Senator Lodge whether
he had seen the resolution for a
league submitted by Secretary Lan
sing, the President replied: "Yes."
Senator Lodge: "No specific action
was taken upon them?"
The President: "Not in a formal
way."
Senator Lodge then asked whether
I the United States would receive any
part of the German reparation funds.
The President: "I.left that question
open, Senator, because 1 did not feel
that I had any final right to decide
it.
The President added that pre-war
claims were not covered by the repa- |
ration clause, afd said the reparation
commission would decide.

WHO PICKS THE TITLES
FOH MOTION PICTI'HESf
One of the greatest problems in
motion pictures to-day is the selec
tion of the titles. It's much more
important than naming Pullman cars.
How many pictures have been -
| made or marred by subtitles? The
answer is—scores. What system of
a photoplay is most likely to pro
duce uniformly satisfactory results? ,
Every Goldwyn picture is seen by |
hundreds of thousands of people, rep- )
resenting every phase of life and 1
mentality in this country and for- !
eign lands. j
In devising innovations in produe- i
tion that are hound to bring about
superior photoplays, Samuel Goldwyn
gave considerable thought to the I
matter of titles. He considered them |
from all angles and finally conceived ;
what he calls "the jury system," a
plan that is justifying his confidence |
; in the benefits to be derived from j
| getting a consensus of opinion as to !
j what "goes over" with the groat ;
audience reached by Goldwyn Pic- j
1 tures.
i The recently formed "title jury" is
[ composed of men and women in the )
[ organization who from experience |
land temperament see things from,
different viewpoints. The jury cora
[ prises those with a literary training!
[and others: without any training of
I the kind. An effort is made to have ;
' this body typical of the average mo
tion picture audiences as they are i
1 found in all parts of the country, in !
'small theaters as well as large. I
When a new production is viewed
j by the committee it contains titles
, written by the title editor, but they ;
j are subject to change and sometimes
j to removal entirely, if they jury finds
I thai for one reason or another they j
1 fail to carry the desired point, either
i in making the story clear or in put
ting over a laugh,
i It is figured that the director,
I scenario editor and even the title
; writer are so close to their work that |
I they know a story backwards, and [
what may seem perfectly clear to |
them may appear vogue to an audi- |
enee that sees a picture without any
previous knowledge as to what it
concerns. Sometimes it is found
that a number of tile jury is doubt
i fill about the meaning of a word or
a phrase used in n title, in which
case a substitute is found. Before a
title is considered satisfactory it i
must meet with the approval of
everyone on the committee.
in striking an average that keeps
a production from going over the
heads of an audience unaccustomed
to subtle phraseology, or the slang i
of Broadway, particular attention is
paid to titles of a humorous nature
Experience has shown that "smart" |
titles which may appeal to a par- j
t.icularlv sophisticated sense of tin- i
mor are likely to full fiat with a large I
percentage of photoplay patrons.

er Stone and several others at once ]
made for the scene of t.he seeming ,
tragedy. While his fast power yacht
dropped a boat to pick up the oars- ,
man, who was swimming feebly, the
yacht itself made after the shooter s I
launch.
Aboard another launch Director j
Ed. Dillon of the Fox organization
chuckled and urged the masked
cameras not to lose a moment of this
realism. Commander Stone got the
wounded hero all right—and joined
in the laugh when he found it was
George Walsh, the William Fox star,
getting in one of the thrills of "The
Winning Stroke," his latest picture,
in which he rows for Yale in the
Yale-Harvard 'Varsity contest.

Babies are the most plentiful
things in aI! the world, if you ask
Mudlnine Traverse. This Fox star
made her discovery when she adver
tised for a two-months-old to use
in her latest picture, "The Splendid
Sin."
Said baby was wanted at the Fox
