ADMIRALS SEE LITTLE CHANCE FORSEA CODE British, U. S. Officers Point Out Hard Task of Enforcement. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srtlnt-Bmrl Forelra Editor WILLIAMSTOWN, Maw., Aug. 11. —Until the United States joins the League -*f Nations or the world becomes far better organized Jbr peace than it Is today, neither the freedom of the seas nor disarmament will get very far. Such, in effect, was the doublebarreled warning aimed at the institute of politics here by two of the world's te-ding sea-dogs, one an English and the other an American admiral. Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond of the British fleet was one of the speakers, the other being Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn of the United States navy. No Trust in Code Sir Herbert made it perfectly plain that Great Britain did not intend to trust her interests to any code of sea laws—such, for example, as Senator Borah declares should be set up as a basis for the freedom of the seas. He does not hold with those who would substitute new laws for the present system of force upon the ocean in an attempt to make neutral ships, not carrying contraband, as safe in war as in time of peace. In the first place, Admiral Richmond asserted, wars can be made more humane by being shortened through a proper control of the seas, by navies, whereas freedom of the seas, as some conceive it, only would prolong the misery through food and materials dribbling in. No Observance Guarantee In the second place, he declared, there was no one to guarantee that the laws governing the freedom of the seas would be observed, even if the powers could agree upon such a code. Treaties, he observed somewhat cynically, are not always observed. Recently, history is full of instances where the most solemn international obligations were broken. He seemed to feel that observance of treaties is exceptional, rather than the rule, when the national life, or even the very great interest, of a nation is at stake. Sir Herbert pointed to what happened at London, this year. Every nation there only recently signed the Kellogg pact outlawing war, yet each one of them announced the tonnages It would need for its national security as if no such thing as the Kellogg pact had ever existed. Denies Cynical Attitude Admiral Richmond similingly hoped he would not appear too cynical, but in all candor he did want to know who was going to see to it that any agreement regarding the freedom of the seas was observed. Patently only some world organization could take on the job of policing the seas—though Sir Herbert, with a twinkle in his British blue eyes, left the questioned unanswered. Obviously, if Britain or America, or both or any combination of powers were to undertake the job of enforcing the code governing the freedom of the seas, such power or powers might, in a crisis actually control the seas to their own benefit, quite as they would do now, under the present system.

He elves her a ••bit" In a picture. Dan. not liking Sloan, although he has not actually met him ta a bit apprehensive that Anne may find him too interesting. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWELVE THE casting director at Grand United had telephoned Anne Winter that he wanted to see her. The call had come during a day when Anne was doing extra work in a picture at First National, and it was Eva Harley who gave her the message that evening. Anne said, “Really, Eva?” in such a tone of unbelief that the older girl laughed and put an arm around her. “You know I wouldn’t fool you, darling,” she said. “You’d better lie down and rest, Anne,” Eva added, seeing the other’s face suddenly turn pale and sensing that she might be attaching unwarranted significance to a telephone call that might prove to be little more than routine. Eva could have told her not to let her hopes run too high. Anne said, “I wonder what he wants?” and stretched o>-t a little wearily on a sofa. “Do you know, Eva? Where’s Mona?” “Maybe he has a bit for you,” Eva answered. “Maybe it’s something better, even; but I wouldn't count on It Mona’s working some place in Poverty Row,” she added, referring to a group of small Independent studios. “Someone over there is making a quickie; they’ll probably work her half the night.” Anne confessed to Roriir.er some time later that she had lain awake half the night, trying not to build air-castles and desperately seeking sleep, with her pulse pounding madly and a not-to-be-stiUed voice ringing in her fevered brainThe casting director wanted to ask her some questions, Anne learned, and he said there was a possibility of something “interesting” for her. He was a dapper, alert-looking young man, in his early or middle thirties, Anne judged and when she had answered a number of question* concerning her history he smiled and tapped on his glass-topped desk and asked her if she could dance. Anne hesitated. “You mean stage dancing?” He nodded. "Tap-dancing.” nan ANNE said, “Why, I’ve never really gone in for it, Mr. Bell. I suppose I earn do a few steps; I studied for a while when I was a little girl.” “I don’t expect perfection,” Harvey Bell said encouragingly. “Would you mind showing me what you can do?” “You mean right here—in your office?” “Os course—why not?” “Why”—Anne laughed nervously —“l’m afraid I’d be terribly embarrassed, Mr. Bell.” “You wouldn't be,” he told her, “if you knew how many girls would like to be in your shoes at this minute.” He spoke with a friendly smile, and without a trace of conceit; and he told her it was a little refreshing to find someone who actually had to be urged to exhibit her talent. “There was a girl in here just ahead of you,” he said, “who was getting $450 a week in pictures for a while. She used to be a manicure.” The casting director sighed. “She ought to be a manicur again. We can't use her, and I'm afraid nobody can—not as long as she expects that figure. Anyway, it seems she’s been taking vocal lessons, and she wanted to sing for me.” "And did she?” Anne asked. Bell said, “She's terrible. I told her I was too busy. ... If you'd rather not do your stuff here w

can walk over to one of the vacant stages. “I can dig up a piano player, and we can get some kind of an outfit for you from the wardrobe. That dress you have on looks pretty tight to kick around in.” Anne Winter eagerly agreed that that was true. “And these heels are high, Mr. Bell.” She knew that Mr. Bell approved of her frock; his eyes had said as much. It was white, as were her sandals. Her stockings were the color of bare legs. And she knew that her hair was very black against the brim of the tight-fitting white hat. She watched him as he picked up the telephone and issued'a few lowspoken orders, and when he hung up he turned to her and said he wanted her to meet Mr. Hurley. “Do you happen to know Fred Hurley, the director?” he asked, and Anne shook her head. “Well, act your prettiest for him, Miss Winter. We’re picking a cast for his picture. It’s a musical comedy.” He told her presently that Garry Sloan had been satisfied with her work in “Married in May” and that her voice was very good. “Do you sing?” he asked. They were walking along a palmlined path through the courtyard, on their way from the administration building to one of the studios. It was hot in the sun, and Anne felt gratful for the moment of shade when they paused for the guard to open the gate. nan SHE told the casting director: “You ask difficult questions, Mr. Bell. I sing a little for my own amusement, because I like it. I’m not at all sure that you would.” Bell laughed. “Something tells me I will. You know,” he added seriously, “there’s nothing that gives us a bigger kick around here than the discovery of new talent. “You’ve no idea how closely every foot of film is watched, and you’ve no idea how many eyes are looking you over while you’re working, no matter how insignificant your job may happen to be—especially if a girl seems to have screen charm.” He felt, he said, not noticing the quick look of inquiry that Anne darted at him, that the motion picture companies owed a great debt to the extras of Hollywood. “We can’t get along without them, and it’s a shame we can’t do more for them. It’s not exactly our fault that there are too many of them here to keep them all employed, but we’re always glad to give any of them a chance when we possibly can.” He said, “It’s a queer business, Miss Winter; a heart-breaking business—and nobody knows it any better than a casting director. “But I’m afraid it couldn't be run any differently. I think,” he added with a smile as he took her arm and helped her up some steps, “that you’ve got the equipment that may carry you a long way. I hope I’m right.” “I certainly hope you are,” Anne said, looking up at him, and Bell, still holding her arm, followed her through a narrow door into the barn-like interior of the studio. “There’s a piano over here,” he said, pointing the way. “Mr. Hurley will join us presently. I forgot to tell you that he plays the piano, so we won’t need any one else- “ Let's it down for a minute; then you can duck into one of those dancing rooms and slip into your costume. It’s pretty brief,” he added

smilingly, “but I have an Idea it will be quite becoming.” Sitting beside her in the cool dusk of the studio, he told her what he had in mind in asking her to dance. “There's a chorus in the picture, of course, and some good song numbers. We’ve got a. pretty good dancing group around here—you’ve probably rim into them now and then. Would you like a chance at that?” "Why, if I could,” Anne said, a bit doubtfully. Bell was studying her face. “It’s a step up.” he said. “It might lead to most anything. If Hurley takes a fancy to you he might give you a few lines; maybe a solo—anything. You can’t tell. If a girl has screen personality and can sing and dance, she’s hard to stop these days.” He added slowly: “Sloan thinks you’ve got screen personality.” She told me so. . . . You’d better get into your costume now, Hurley will be here in a few minutes.” ana ANNE left him, walked slowly toward the dressing room. Inside, she sat down and began to undress, the casting director's words still echoing loudly in her unbelieving brain. Bell had said: “Sloan thinks you’ve got screen personality.” She could scarcely credit her ears, she told Rorimer that night. She wondered how Garry Sloan could arrive at that conclusion; she had done so little for him. Her costume she saw, consisted of a sleevless white silk blouse and a pair of tight-fitting black shorts and black dancing pumps. Bell load told her it was pretty brief, and the casting director, she saw by her mirrored figure, was nothing if not truthful. Director Hurley was waiting with Bell when she emerged from the dressing room. He got up from his chair at sight of her, cool appraisal in his eyes as they rested on her slender, curving figure. But his manner told her that he did not expect her to be conscious of bare legs and arms. He said, “How do you do, Miss Winter?” and he shook hands. And he turned to Bell and said, just as though Anne were a mile away instead of right there beside him: “She’s a pretty girl, Harvey.” Bell laughed. “What did I tell you?” And he turned to Anne and asked her if she was ready to entertain them with a few steps. “Mr. Hurley,” he said, “is a wow on the black keys.” Hurley laughed and sat down, struck with a preliminary chord or two, and began to play. (To Be Continued) KILLS TWO WITH AX Rural Love Intrigue Leads to Tragedy. B ' GROTON, S? Conn-, Aug. 11.—State police claimed today to have a confession by Stanley S. Bogue, 34-year-odl World war veteran, to the murders of Mrs. Eva Roberts, 52, his boarding house mistress, and Ole Osterberg, 65-year-old iron molder, who displaced him in her affections.

CROSS BURNS BEFORE CAMP OF YOUNG REDS Warrants Charging Treason Asked for Women Who Refuse U. S. Flag. Bu United Press ELMIRA, N. Y„ Aug. 11.—War rants charging treason against the United 1 States were sought today for two women leaders of a communist camp of 100 children, who are accused of refusing to accept the American flag. Saturday night the fiery cross of the Klan blazed at the entrance of the camp, while its juvenile members gathered around, jeering and singing communist songs. When patriotic society members Friday presented an American flag to the camp, situated at Vanetten, near here. Mabel Husa and Aliene Holmes of New York city, camp directors, declined to take it. The following night several men, said to have been led by U. E. Dennis and Floyd Koons of Athens, Pa., again offered the colors. When they were rejected they ripped down the red flag on the front camp building. Then the party, said to be composed of American Legion members, forced the women into a motor car and drove them here to the office of Justice William Westbrook, who questioned the women and the boys, but would not issue warrants. He sent them back to the camp under guard of state police. Simultaneously, Paul M. Winter, field representative of the Ku-Klux Klan, who speaks regularly over radio station WHAP, was denouncing the Communist camp before 300 white-robed kiansmen near the encampment site. At the end of the speech the kiansmen, joined by 150 asserted members of the American Legion, set up a burning cross before the camp.

SLAVE PROBE ENDS Commission Studies Conditions in Liberia. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—An international commission’s investigation of slavery conditions in the republic of Liberia was concluded today, and, incidentally, it was decided but not yet disclosed, whether Thomas J. R. Faulkner, now sojourning in Brooklyn, immediately will buy a ticket for West Africa or await a more opportune moment in his quest for the presidency. Faulkner, an American-born citizen of the Negro republic, is leader of the Peoples party in Liberia. He sees his future connected closely with the report of the commission because he is outspoken in his opposition to Charles Dunbar Burgess King, president of Liberia.

ALABAMA WILL DECIDE PRIMARY ISSUETUESDAY Heflin Stumps State With’ Cry of ‘Tammany, Rome and Raskob.’ BY MORRIS DE HAVEN 1 L'nltfd Pre*. Staff Corrpndßt BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Aug. 11.— Two more southern states will set* tie important primary election contests this week. They are Alabama, where Senator J. Thomas Heflin, although not even on the ticket, is the big issue, and Arkansas, where Senator Joseph T. Robinson expects to stave off an attack made upon him on the grounds he is “a friend of the interests” and particularly of the power interests. Both Alabama and Arkansaw hold their primaries on Tuesday. The desertion of A1 Smith fop Herbert Hoover by Senator Heflin and members of Iris followers in 1928 is the real issue, and the primary is to decide who will carry the banner of the anti-Heflin forces in November, the first time since before 1860 that Alabama has had two candidates running for a senatorship in a general election. The candidates for the Democratic senatorial nomination are John H. Blankhead of Jasper, an attorney and member of one of Alabama's first families, and Frederick! I. Thompson, Mobile publisher. Heflin-Lot-ke speakers are stumping the si ate crying “Tammany. Rome and Raskob,” charging that the primary is illegal because of a ruling that those who voted for Hoover in 1928 may vote in the Democratic primary, but can not be candidates. In Arkansas, Senator Joseph Robinson came home from Washington and Paris to find Thomas W. Campbell, Little Rock lawyer, opposing him for the Democratio nomination.
