ENGLISH TIRED OF AMERICAN FLAG’ MOVIES Dependent on U. S. for Films, Britain Wants a Few Nonpatriotic Ones. SUSPECT PROPAGANDA LONDON. Feb. 7.—For five years John Bull has been fed up on a HO per cent diet of American movies. There are now some growing evidences that he Is a bit off his feed. The sponsors in Europe for American film producers think they have hit upon the part of the film menu which is Irritating America's best film customer. It Is super-American patriotic scenes. As recently told in dispatches to the World there is too much stars and stripes in too many American films for European audiences. Now the European representatives are sending home word to “can" the patrioti" •scenes originally staged only for home consumption, but which comp to Britain in the sweeping tide of 50,000,000 feet of film yearly. As one American film representative here put it, It is no time now to exhibit an American film, that Is, pne full of flags, in d’Annunzto’s home town of Flume. To a smoewhat less degree It is considered just as advisable to cut out the flag-waving scenes for all foreign markets. There has been no diplomatic remonstrance from Great Britain, but American officials here have also given the hint that the "facie out’’ might well be used on patriotic scenes in which the stars and stripes are heralded as the hope of mankind or where an American doughboy is seen in single-handed, and successful combat with the whole German army. From the American film makers’ stand point, that is from the standpoint of the foreign representatives of American films, it is bad business, even when Americans still have a film monopoly, to let all these home productions come abroad with, all their local appeals uncensnred. WERE IRRITATED LONG AGO. During the war there was some irritation before America came in, when films were shown depicting the profuse expenditure of dollars on what were then unattainable things for Europeans. While Londou was being bombed its cinema audiences often watched the sen nymphs [disporting themselves at Palm Beach and lon the California coast. But they wore |at least diversions. Then when America tntered the war and some of the hotneIgrown propaganda recruiting brands of ffilms got over here they stimulated the ■war-weary British public, though, in some instances, where films indicated an early arrival of the doughboys in Berlin there were some sarcastic smiles. The rwar over, this tide of war-brewed American films still continued to come—and some are now making a belated ap-pearance-full of flag waving and telling their British audiences that there is only one place in the world—the old L T . S. A. Consequently, some of the recent grumbling. A FEW SUSPECT DRV PROPAGANDA. There are still some shell-shocked Britons who are willing to believe that American films which depict American heroes and English villains are sent here a san insidious form of enemy propaganda. Lately, with so much attention being devoted to the question of liquor consumption here and the new drought in America, there have been suspicions that films with “dry” heroes are a part of an equally insidious "dry” propaganda. The average Briton is becoming worried about his booze supply since the advent of "Pussyfoot” Johnson, and when films constantly show reformed “booze hounds” winning beautiful heroines the more nervous here have an additional suspicion that the “dry” forces In America are slipping over some quiet but effective propaganda. But it is not this part of the slim diet which is the immediate cause of distress to. John Bull’s slim digestion, ft is the ponstant exhibition in the 3.500 clnenja palaces throughout the country of films containing scenes justly proper for American audiences, but hardly suited to a British audience. No American who visits a British cln>ma can fail to mark the impatience when iome of these superpatriotic sceues are ihown. “Sure, the Yanks won the war," says he ex-British Tommy to ills neighbor, .'bo smiles ironically DISTRIBUTOR WRITES .ETTER TO COMPANY, An educated Englishman's point of lew is: “How would you like to see Be Union .Tack continually waved beHre your American audiences'.'’’ ■ “T’ve just written a letter to the home ■flee,” said one of the American film Bppresentatlevs in London, “telling them B cut out the flag-waving Ineldents when Hhipplngfl these films abroad. From a Business standpoint it Is bad; from an Bmeriean standpoint, it is bad. We ought B>t to give Europeans any excuse for Bying we are working an insidious Bopaganda game. We would certainly if DO per cent of our films were or Italian or French and had to He a lot of flag waving bv foreigners. Hie European has a legitimate kick. Hiere Is no question about it we’ve got He world market, now, but. it will go Halnst us some day if we continue to ■splay our patriotism to European auHences.

HAIG TO GET ANCIENT HOME British Take Up Fund to Buy Family Seat. TORONTO, Feb. 7.— Popular subscription has been started here to buy tor Earl Haig, who commanded ’he British forces in France and Ftander- during a good part of the war, the ancient home of the Haig family, known as Bemersyde, two miles from the hamlet of St. Boswells, Berwickshire, Scot’and. The Haig family had occupied the estate foi seven centuries. Tt. will cost $250,000 to buy the property and restore t lie stately old house, which wan built as a fortress as well as a dwelling, and which must always remind the new owner that from the earliest times the llnigs were stout fighters. Berwickshire provided an active theater for battle and romance in the earlier centuries. Situated at the southeast extremity of Scotland, the North sea as one of the boundaries, watered by the Eye, the Tweed and the Morse, and embracing within it the roundbacked fiilis of La miner moor and the famous districts of Midlothian and Borderland, it appealed to the old Homans as an effective picket post. They fortified it, and traces yet remain of their occupation. After the Roman withdrawal, early In the fifth century, Berwickshire formed part of the Saxon kingdom of Northumbria. The rugged coast proved a barriei against repeated attempts at Invasion by the Norsemen, but in the year SBB the Danes made a landing and destroyed a nunnery founded about 850 by Ebba, daughter of Aethplfrith, king of Northumbria. St. Abb’s Hoad, a well known promontory in the vicinity, was named for the princess. SCENE OF HISTORIC EVENT. Berwickshire was annexed to Scotland after the battle of Carbarn in 1618. William tho Lion and the Bishop of Durham bad a historic conference here in 1188 to discuss the attempt of the English church to assert supremacy over the Scots. In 1280 a convention of Scotch estate owners was held there to consider the projected marriage of Prince Edward of England and the Maid of Norway. and in the following year the treaty of Birgham, signed in Berwickshire, purporting to assure the independence of Scotland. Still later the shire was repeatedly overrun by armies of the English and Scotch kings, who were continually fighting for the frontier town of Berwick, which finally ceded to Fmgland in 1482. Edward I, in 1296, crossed the ford at the confluence of the Leet and Tweed, in order to lay siege to Berwick, and there was a similar manoeuvre as late as 1640, when the Marquis of Montrose led the Covenanters that way on tlieir march to Newcastle. Members of the Haig family participated in all of these operations and encounters. There are other historic places in the shire. King Edgar, in 1098, founded a Benedictine priory on the site of the former nunnery at Coddingham. The priory grew so wealthy that James 111 annexed its revenues to provide for his extravagances, an act that led to a revolt of the nobles in 1488. In the Earl of Herford’s inroad in 1545 the priory was badly damaged and Cromwell blew up part of the church in 1650. The channel was repaired, retaining some of its fine architectural features, and It has since been used as the parish cbnrcb. “BRIDE OF LAMMERMOOR.” On the east coast are the remains of Fast castle, the Wolf’s Crag of Scott’s “Bride of Lammermoor.” situated on a precipitous headland. Sir Robert Logan, w T ho acquired the properly, is said to have intended to imprison James Vt within its walls about 1600. Still further west is Peath’s bridge, built in 1780 across the deep pass which was of old one of the strongest natural defenses of Scotland. Near the bridge are the ruins of Cockburnspath tower, once a strong fortress and supposed to be the Ravenswood of "The Bride of Lammermoor.” Coldstream and Lamberton, both close to the border, were in former times resorts like Gretna Green for eloping couples intending clandestine marriages. The contract for the marriage of James IV and Margaret Tudor was signed in Lamberton church in 1502. That contract led. a century later, to the union of the crowns of England and Scotland. Thus Gen. Haig’s ancestral home is rich in subjects for historical, military and romantic study with which to beguile the earl's years of retirement from active life. Bemersyde has. long been the property of Lieut. Col. Arthur Balfour Haig, now in his 80th year; he is a cousin of Earl Haig. 22 Ounces Standard f°r Loaf of Bread MANHATTAN, Kas., Feb. 7.—Twentytwo ounces as the standard weight for loaves of bread was set by the Riley county fair-price committee a few days ago. Investigations revealed that one bakery was turning out bread weighing twenty-four ounces per loaf, while others were making only twenty-ounce loaves. All the bread was selling at 15 cents per loaf.

Earth Citizens Yet to Commune With People of Other Worlds

By JAMES HENLE. Newspaper Enterprise Association Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, Feb. I —Have the inhab. Hants of Mars been attempting to communicate with us? This is the question which for the last week has been agitating scientists on both sides of the ocean. Mysterious wireless signals have been received both in this country and in England. Where do they come from? Some scientists say Mars. Another asserts Venus.* Others say they are the re suit of disturbances on the sun. Nikola Tesla, whose researches have rc suited in Important contributions to every field of electrical science and who Is especially well known as a wireless expert, does not believe that the signals recently received come from Mars. But he does assort that he lilmself has caught faint impulses over the wireless which can not be accounted for except by tbe supposition that they come from Mars. SION AES IN SIMPLEST POSSIBLE FORM. These sounds were merely the sequence of numbers, first one tap. then two taps, then three taps, the simplest idea that cau be exchanged between persons without any medium of direct lingual communication. But the inventor is of the opinion that if we answered these we would finally be able to advance to more complex messages and that we. could finally transmit photographs by wire less and convey ideas through pictuie writing. Dr. Tesla has planned to answer these signals, and has designed a tower which would be able to deliver power at the rate of 1,000.000,000 horsepower and would, he thinks, be strong enough to repeat to Mars the one-two, three signal he received from that planet. The inventor was asked about the mysterious wireless sounds recently heard. “They are wholly of terrestrial origin, ho replied. “They have no connection whatever with the strange phenomena I discovered in my investigations of geo-eleetro-dynamles from 1599 to 1900 in Colorado. At that time I was operating under ideal conditions, there being no other wireless plant of any considerable power iu existence besides m.v own, which developed a current of 1.000 nni peres In the antenna, sufficient to affect wireless-receiving instruments, as now employed, at any point in the globe. RAREFY CAUGHT FAINT IMPULSES. “And yet, although I used an instrument of marvelous sensitiveness I barely could catch the faint impulses which came one, two, three • • • There were occasional misses, but the sequence of numbers was unmistakable. During the following year, while carefully reviewing the ground T had covered, I proved tc. my entire satisfaction that the disturbances could not have been produced on the earth or emanated from the sun, moon or Venus, and the most plausible conclusion led to the supposition that they had come from Mars. “To most people the mere idea of flashing a signal over the Immense gulf of 60,000,000 or 100,000,000 miles will natuially appear preposterous, but It is simply a feat of electrical engineering, apparently hazardous, but made perfectly feasible through inventions with which experts are familiar. "In attacking the problem of communication with the planets we have two solid facts to build upon; first, a tnaTune of Submarine Found in Novel Way; LONDON, Feb. 7.—The tune which the deadly submarine played as it moved beneath the waves was discovered by an admiralty official who was an expert musirlan. It has just been revealed that when the sea lords were seeking means of detecting the approach of a submarine, Sir Richard Paget, stripped to the waist, was lowered, head down, into the water. He came up humming the exact note made (by the moving submarine. From this small and strange beginning sound detectors were perfected which saved many lives and resulted in the sinking of many U-boats. Girl Crook Found in Raid on Cache CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Hunting through a burglar’s flat used as a storage warehouse for their plunder, the police discovered a rug rolled up and thrust under a bed. Unrolling it, they discovered a partially clad and vehemently protesting young woman. Taken -to a police station, she gave the name of Helen Pfeifer, and confessed to being a member of the burglar gang. Her statements helped the police In the arrest of several others of the gang. The girl acted as a “lookout” when burglaries were committed. Thousands of dollars’ worth of plunder was recovered. GIVES ARMY ESTIMATE. Senator Wadsworth says an organized field army of 2,000,000 men can be mobl.tzed within five years at a cost of not more than $600,937,000.

PLANETS INHABITED, IS THE CONCLUSION. That the planets are Inhabited is a foregone conclusion. "I believe that tho time has come for a serious attempt in that direction. We could begin by erecting a plant for transmitting signals conveying the knowledge of numbers, which would be the simplest truth that could be communicated to them and which would be answered Immediately if the planet Is populated by a race as civilized as ours. Once the first step is successfully carried out, it would then be very easy to Install more elaborate apparatus for the transmission of pictures, by means of which the most, intricate thoughts could be communicated.”

LETTERS WILL GIVE FURTHER LIGHT ON WAR Private Dairy and Papers of Von Pohl Are to Be Published. GERMAN LEADER IN 1915 BERLIN, Feb. 7.—Great public Interest has been aroused here by the announcement that the private diary and letters of Admiral von Pohl, at one time chief of the German navy staff and later, in 1915, commander-in-chief of the German high seas fleet, are about to be published. Admiral von Tohi was the great antagonist of Admiral von Tirpitz and whereas the latter wanted a great and decisive battle with the British fleet early in the war, the former preferred safety and advocated keeping the Ueet as a guarantee of Germany’s influence at the peace conference. The documents which the writer has had an opportunity of examining are of the highest interest. They reveal that the former kaiser, the former German chancellor. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, rnd the foreign secretary of the day, Dr. von Jagow, combined to defeat Admiral von Tirpitz's attempt to compel the German fleet, to seek out and give battle to tho British navy. “For the past twenty years.” says Admiral von Tirpitz, in a memorandum which lie submitted to the former kaiser, “the aim of our naval preparations and policy has been to give battle to the British. We have in battle the greatest chances ot' success." Admiral von Tirpitz SBid that the German fleet should deliver battle to tiie British as near as possible to Heligoland, but when the former kniser asked him how the British were to be inducea to come there. Admiral von Tirpitz was unable to offer auy plan. Tho forme! kaiser thereupon at once issued an order to all naval officers telling them that they should not attack until they received hl 3 personal order to do so Tho documents also reveal that at a great conference of his military and naval advisers on the onestlon ot i the beginning of the Zeppelin campaign j against England, the former kaiser refused to sanction the bombardment of | London, saying: “It is cruel that In ! uoeent women and children should be j bombed to death." Admiral von Tirpitz ! thought that such a view was too sentimental, but the former kaiser mainmined his view and "at first only the London docks and barracks were bombed.” •Admiral von Tirpitz also was in favor of |ho ruthless submarine warfare without reference to the susceptibilities •if the United States, but the former ’ falser, Admiral von Dohl, and the for,, nor chancellor maintained that tho United States must bo considered Later, of course the Van Tirpitz party won, and unlimited submarine warfare was i :ho rosult. BRITISH AUTO INDUSTRY HIT Strike Ties Up Manufacture and Americans Get Trade. LONDON, Feb. 7.—The British automobile industry, which was getting into a giant’s size stride with Its billion do] lars' worth of advance orders all grav|efl up with a 33 1-3 per cent traiff protection tax against American cars, has received a setback. Many orders have been canceled, British auto trade papers say, because of the British moulders’ strike, which has jumbled up delivery. The strike, now nearly three months' old, affects the whole country's supply of machine parts. I Consequently American dealers are stepping into the breach. One dealer iin - • mediately ordered 4,000 Yankee built ; cars. i Not only is the British automobile industry, but practically every other ruanii’acturer in the iron trade, affected by the moulders’ strike of 50,000 men. The I strike has thrown 100.000 other skilled ' workers out of employment, causing a weekly wage loss of $2,800,000 and a national business .loss of ten times that weekly. The original strike for 15 shillings weekly wage boost has been lost sight of almost in the employers' attempt to Include a local d’spute, involving four .discharged men, in the general return to work.

PHONE WEDDING HELD LEGAL , BUT BRIDE HANGS UP :- • Supposed Spurious Pastor and Other Incidents Mars Young Woman’s Adventure. DETROIT, Feb. 7.—After diving deep into all the statutes relating to the question of matrimony—when it is and when it isu’t, and why—Allan P. Cox and Seth J. Wicker, assistant prosecutors, came up with the pronouncement that Miss Louise Cody and Carl A. Ackerman are man and wife. Miss Cody. It will be remembered, is the trusting young woman who "knew that marriages performed over the telephone were legal"—because she had seen it done in the movies—but who didn’t know, when she and Mr. Ackerman crowded into a single phone booth at the Hotel Statler for the solemn ceremony, that a gentleman on the other end of the line was not a member of the clergy. But as long as she thought he was, says Messrs. Cox and Wicker, the "marriage” must stand- although a common law affair. They speak learnedly on the reasons for this. The two-dav search through musty statutes fortified them well. > AND BRIDEGROOM GOES FREE. And Mr. Ackerman —whose idea, he says, was to follow tho trial marriage by a real one, If Miss Cody pleased him — can not he prosecuted,they set forth. But, assert the prosecutors, they can prosecute Harry Golden, who “performed the ceremony,” according 1o the police report of A'-kernian’s confession. And to get the basis for this prosecution, the prosecutors delved deep and far. Mr. Golden’s few solemn words, if he is the guilty person, constitute a high misdemeanor, they say, with a punishment of a year's imprisonment, a SSO to ‘•500 fine, or both, attached, Therefore a warrant for Golden has been recommended. Mr. Golden denies that he was the "pastor.” He was to have been a witness, he admits, but says that is all. Mr. Golden, who is now being held, volunteered also some immaterial, but not uninteresting information about himself. He was employed in the Statler cloakroom, he says, and slept thpre nights on the chairs because he owed his landlady $55 room rent and was afraid to go home. OF COURSE THERE MIST HE DIVORCE. Mr. Ackerman says Golden was at the Recreation building when he asked Miss Cody if she took Mr. Ackerman for better or for worse. As for Miss Cody that was. Mrs. Ackerman that is, she says she will start immediately suit for divorce. * The prosecutors sympathize with her in this determination, and will ask the Detroit Bar association and the I*egal Aid bureau to help her unloose the bonds that tied her to Mr. Ackerman only a week after she met him at the Statler’s Christmas dance for its employes. Miss Cody is certain she got the wrong number. SAVAGES STILL EXIST IN HAITI Returned Marine Has Thrilling Story of Cannibalism.

GROCERY BILL IS ALMOST DOUBLE, WIFE TELLS HIM Bly Says She Insists He Stop Taking Trutona if Appetite Gets Any Bigger. “My wife tells me I’d better stop taking j Trutona as our grocery bill has almost {doubled, but I don’t care bow much tbe grocery bill increases so long as I have i this hearty appetite and am able to eat j three square meals a day,” Willard Bly, a well-known Indianapolis man who lives |at 1212 West New York street, said recently. Mr. Bly is highly enthused over the work of Trutona in his case and he tells a story that will convince even the most skeptical. "For the past two years,” be continued, “I've suffered such severe kidney pains tn my back that I'd almost collapse at times! Why, I don’t belleTe the cut of ; a knife could have hurt me worse than those pains. At different periods, during j the two years, t’ve been laid up for several {days at a time, and even so long as a ■month. My appetite was very poor. I’d jjust mince over things at a meal and | then get up from the table. “One day a friend of min# overheard me speaking of my troubles and he told me of several persons whom be personally knew that had gotten wonderful results from Trutona. I’ve nearly finished my second bottle now and — well, you never saw a man have such an appetite as mine. Why. I eat like a starred hound. We bad a chicken dinner Thanksgiving and a lot of other things my wife fixed, but tbene wasn’t enough left over to mak# a square meal for a mosquito. I tell you, 1 1 sure enjoyed that meal, too. My back hasn't hurt me since I finished tho first ’bottle of Trutona. In short, I feel betiter now than I ever have In tho past two years.” Trutona Is sold In Indianapolis at the Hook chain of drug stores and O. W. Brooks drug store, Pennsylvania and Ohio streets and at all good druggists everywhere.— Advertisement.
