Roman Auto Co. Will
Move to New Home
About a month ago the Roman
Auto Company purchased a million
dollar piece of property at 227,229-
231-233 North Broad street, Phila
delphia. This enormous property,
which has a tremendous frontage on
Broad street, will be occupied on or
about October 6 as the future home
of the Roman Auto Company.
It is the intention of the Roman
Auto Company in the future to build
on this site a ten-story fireproof
building, including an up-to-date
service station and a machine shop
thoroughly equipped.
The Roman Auto Company has
been selling used autos for the past
14 years and in recent years have
done much to elevate and put the
second-hand automobile on a much
higher plane.
Lewis Isenberg, Dave Isenberg and
Oscar Isenberg are the members of
the firm of the Roman Auto Com
pany, and each one is an expert in
his line.
The property purchased by the
Roman is located on Broad street,
between Race and Vine streets, and
extends through to Watt street.
The used automobile Is becoming
more popular every day, owing to
the fact that it can be purchased
at a great reduction from the origi
nal cost, and in many Instances gives
just as good service and satisfaction
as a new car.
Drunkenness in
England Decreases
London, Oct. I.—Lord D'Abercorn,
head of the Liquor Control Board,
in a speech at Carlisle, vindicating
the government's policy with re
spect to intoxicants, declared that
there had been a great decrease in
drunkenness due to State control.
The work of the board, he said,
had vindicated the school of mod
eration and of reasonable and
scientific control. He claimed that
the Control Board "had put an end
to the appalling condition of drunk
enness and inefficiency which ex
isted in 1915 and which paralyzed
the war efficiency of the country."
Amnesty Bill Is
Expected to Draw Debate

cently introduced in the Senate to
grant complete amnesty to all per
sons of good faith who are new in
arms Against the government, has
evoked approval by many legislators
and others. However, Luis Cabera,
secretary of the treasury, who many
limes has acted as the mouthpiece
for the government, has termed such
4 bill politically inexpedient and
wholly unadvisable in view of the
slections to be held next July. De
bate over the measure promises to
.fford some excitement in the upper ,
T.ouse of congress.

York County Is Good
Red Lilon, Oct. I—The1 —The fine grow

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
GERMAN SEAMEN
ON SHORE DUTY
Transferred to Land Because
of Virtually no Navy
Remaining
With the American Forces in Ger
many, Oct. I.—The old sharp, dis
tinction between the German naval
and German military forces is dis
appearing. As the navy has virtu
ally no ships, the naval officers and
men are largely available for shore
duty.
According to information reaching
the American Army headquarters in
Coblenz, at the present time such
volunteer naval units as exist serve
practically as troops along the coast,
and transfers of naval men to and
from the Reichswehr, or national
army, are frequent. This is made
easy by the fact that both the War
and Navy Departments are under
Defense Minister Noske.
By a recent German naval order,
a number of sea officers were trans
ferred to the coast guard at Wil
helmshaven and a coast guard de
tachment at Cuxhaven. On the

WAR ON RATS *
ISRESUMED
Every Rodent in England De
stroys $5 Worth of Prop
erty Each Year
London, Oct. I.—The war on rats,
which was suspended while the
other war was in progress, is being
renewed by the Ministry of Agricul
ture, which estimates that property
to the value of $250,000,000 is de
stroyed in the United Kingdom every
year by rats.
The chief rat inspector of the
Board of Agriculture estimates that
each rat destroys property to the
value of about $5 every year, while
an official of the British Medical
Association lays the spread of many
deadly diseases, including trench
fever, to rats.
Already precautions have been
taken at the London docks which
will prevent rats from landing from
ships and which, if they do land,
speedily ends in their death.

Regent Theater Is to
Show Fairbanks Film
It is doubtful if any motion pic
ture was ever awaited wit has much
interest and anticipation in Harris
burg as Douglas Fairbanks' new pic
ture was ever awaited with as much
wjrich will be the attraction at the
Rtgent Theater all next week.
Something more than mere interest
in a motion picture lies back of this
anticipation for "His Majesty, the
American" is Douglas Fairbanks first
independent production and marks
the first release of United Artists
Corporation, the so-called "Big Four.'
In January of 1919 the entire
amusement world was startled by j
the formation of the United Artists
Association. This association was j
formed by Mary rickford, Charlie
Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and D. I
W. Griffith. These artists, conceded j
throughout the world to be the I
'Screen's foremost prodluoers, afted'
having released their pictures for u |
number of years through various dis-i
tributing companies, decided that to'
assure their best work and in order |
to have full independence for the ,
highest expression of their art, they |
would, upon the completion of their;
then-existing contracts, release their'
own pictures, direct to the theaters'
of the country.
This move for independence by the'
foremost artists of the screen is the
most important and beneficial step
that has been taken in the motion
p'icture business since it assumed its
leadership in the amusement field.
It means for the motion picture pa
trons that Mary Pickford, Charlie
Chaplin. Douglas Fairbanks and D.
W. Griffith hereafter will be enabled

to produce pictures In their own way.
They will make fewer pictures than
they have made before, and this in
itself will 1 be an advantage. Here
tofore they have been obliged to turn
out a certain number of productions
within a given period and conse
quently have not always had the
time to perfect their work.
