EUROPE IS IN HEALTHY ECONOMIC CONDITION, SAYS EASTERN EXPERT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. That Europe has not been wrecked and ruined by the war, but on the other hand Is In a fairly sound economic condition, is the belief of Oscar T. Crosby, a resident in Europe from 1917 to 1919 and president of the interallied council on war purchases and finance and assistant secretary of the United States treasury during the war period. It is Mr. Crosby's mature conviotion that peace finds the world with: (1) A larger production plant (including agriculture) than it had in 1914. and probably having a value greater than the losses mentioned below. (2) A supply of labor possibly more efficient than and almost as numerous as it had in 1914. (3) Resources in raw materials sufficient for the present needs of the race. (4) No considerable losses, excepting merchant ships destroyed, the wear and tear on railroads, and the devastation wrought in battle areas. "Europe has not been crushed by the war, and her outlook is not a desolate one," Mr. Crosby declared in the course of a recent interview. "When a continent or a country is ruined you do not have to call witnesses to prove it. The facts are then too clear to admit dispute. The great war has been paid for in full. What Js left is ours to do with as we please. In war or in peace, the world taken as a whole pays its bills in full every night it goes to bed, and it must continue to do so until it establishes communication with the man in the moon and imports green cheese on credit. "Mountains of metal and other materials have been shot away in the war, it is true; but they were dug up and prepared for that very purpose. Shooting them away has Impaired what may be called our 'undeveloped plant account chipped something off the far end of our stick of candy but that is a loss we shan't feel till we get to that far end, if ever.

"To prove that the world must,! and does, pay its way as it goes, we have the fact that prodution leaped forward as soon as the war began, and not only kept pace but was far ahead when the armistice was signed. During the four years of fighting, the United States took care of itself as usual, equipped and supplied its own vast armies, and contributed to others $130,000,000,000 worth of materials, most of which would not have been prepared at all, during that time, had the war not required it. All this without straining or depleting us in any way. On the contrary, it roused latent human forces which had been neglected and presented to us, at the conclusion of the war, with an industrial and agricultural equipment far superior to the one we possessed before. "In Europe the war's effect upon real wealth and production has not been different in character. Each of the principal belligerent nations has vastly increased its mechanical capacity for production. England's biggest loss is that of merchant ships, while her power to replace those ships Is so much increased that the loss will soon be more than made good. Her railroads, like those of every other country, have suffered a lot of wear and tear,, but the larger part of a railroad's value is its roadbed; and all roadbeds are substantially intact. England's soil and mineral deports have not been seriously depleted by the war, while her skill in exploiting them has been increased. She is

embarrassed by unusual labor demands, but wide publicity of discussion is slowly revealing the necessary limits of change in former condition. "The case of France is much the same. There is an ugly streak of severe devastation running from Flanders to Verdun. Mines have been flooded, factories wrecked and homes ruined. Thousands have lost their private fortunes, and their plight awakens deep sympathy. But thoir desolation is not the ruin of France; nor will it evenly bear heavily upon the task of French reconstruction during the critical years, because full restitution will be made by German

long credits. Beyond that very generous limit public money should not be used to assist foreign countries, and the less we advance of that $1,000,000,000 the better It will be for everyone concerned."

labor. This may be regarded as certain, because it is not only stipulated in the peace treaty but 13 indorsed as a Just provision even by the Socialist factions of both France and Germany, who may succeed the cabinets now In office. Beyond this narrow area of desolation France exhibits the same attributes of increased producing efficiency that are shown in Great Britain and the United States. She is not ruined nor in danger of ruin. "One cannot consider France without thinking of Germany. "Germany Is well off except in the case of her merchant marine, which has not been lost to the world, but transferred to others," said Mr. Cros

by. ' Tier Industrial plants are intact, and the peace conference has conferred upon her a unique advantage In power to man them by abolishing the military establishment in that country. The war destroyed about 1,500,000 German workmen. But the peace conference makes good 300,000 of that number immediately by abolishing the military conscription which kept that many young Germans out of industry

every year. Several hundred tnousand Germans also were formerly employed in arsenals, munition factories and navy yards. These must now seek employment in callings that will contribute to the national wealth Instead of to its expense account. Then there are the millions of women who in Germany, as elsewhere, have been trained in the methods of wealth production and must now be classed as recruits in the industrial armies. In the face of these factors, who will say that Germany is materially bankrupt? Europe's "Sawdust Babies." "America's financial assistance to Europe should be kept at an absolute minimum," Mr. Crosby continued. "Wo must not uphold or perpetuate any sawdust babies abroad. Weak governments must not lean on the United States treasury for support. They must learn to stand on their own feet. I am sure that the best minds in those countries appreciate the danger inherent in government loans to governments, and will etrlve toward financial as well as political independence. The two are close kin. "Of course we shall lend money to Europe. But such loans should be restricted to private hands entirely, if that be possible. And the risk of individual loss must prevail in full force if we are to avoid very serious dangers, Including that of future war. In the matter of lending public money to help Europe, congress has mado abundant provision by empowering the war finance corporation to advance sums within $1,000,000,000 and on suitable security to banks, corporations and individuals to pay American producers for materials sent abroad on

The Theatres

MURRETTE. Lovely, charming and talented Wanda Hawley plays the leading part in "Secret Service," William Gillette's famous drama of the Civil war, in which Major Robert Warwick is feat

ured, and which is presented as a Par-amount-Artcraft special at the Murrette theatre today. Miss Hawley is a prime favorite with film fans everywhere and she has appeared with great success in numerous Paramount and Artcraft photoplays. She is not only beautiful, but a finished actress as well. The rest of the cast is really worth

talking about. Major Robert Warwick, late of General Pershing's staff overseas, plays the part the author created Lewis Dumont, known as "Captain Thorne." That he plays it well Is undoubted. Robert Warwick is as splendid an actor as he was a soldier and withal a man whom all admire. Irving Cummings plays the heavy role, while Raymond Hatson, Robert Caine, Casson Ferguson, Theodore Roberts are given parts which they do full justice. Hugh Ford was director and Beulah Marie Dix wrote the scenario.

A motion picture in which there is something doing every minute after the first scene Is flashed upon the screen, is "Something to Do," Bryant Washburn's latest starring vehicle, which is shown at the Murray theatre today. This is a picture of the speedy variety and is as full of action as an egg is of meat. Mr. Washburn has a role in this picture which affords him an opportunity to show that he can handle wide awake characters with the same ease and skill with which he portrays the sleepy sort of boob in his previous productions. Donald Crisp, who made "Venus in the East" and other Washburn pictures, is responsible for "Something to Do," and he has put it across in a lively, snappy manner. Ann Little is the leading woman and heads an excellent cast of players, including Robert Brower, Charles Gerald, Adele Farrington, Charles Ogle and James Mason. WASHINGTON. Only brief opportunity remains for those who have not taken advantage

of the visit of Florence Reed in her latest remarkable success, The Woman Under Oats, to see thi3 splendid emotional stage and screen star in what is conceded to be the strongest offering of her career. Dealing as it does with a subject of prime importance and interest to women. The Woman Under Oath has created a furore of discussion among the fair sex. In strength of story, dramatic tenseness, sustained suspense, and astonishing climax Miss Reed's present vehicle is of unusual appeal and excellence.

A thrilling story, a beautiful and talented star, a splendid cast, excellent direction and some wonderful photography all go to make up Norma Talmadge's latest Select Picture, "The New Moon," in which she is presented by Joseph M. Schenck at the Washington Theatre, Friday and Saturday. "The New Moon" is the storv of a

Russian Princess, Marie Pavlovna, who flees to a neighboring province when her castle is attacked by anarchists, and takes refuge in a small store in the guise of a peasant girl. When the decree is issued, ordering all the women in the country to register in order to benationalized, the Princess refuses to register and incites other women of the town to follow her example. The authorities discover the true lineage of the peasant girl who is leading the women to revolt and try to force her to register, with dire results to themselves.

Norma Talmadge, famous for her versatility, gives an excellent characterization of the Russian peasant girl who was truly a princess. The story while true of the life of Russia as it exists today, seems more like a fairy tale. The disguised Princess, her blueblooded lover, the revolt, the chase, the capture, happiness for the good

T NCRE ASING the food A supply of the world is the most vital problem which man must solve. The burden of this solution rests heavily upon the shoulders of the farmers of America. The service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in producing fuel and lubricants for the economical and efficient operation of farm machinery has made it possible for the farmer to cultivate a greater acreage, produce larger crops, and get them to market at least expense. By maintaining its comprehensive system of distribution, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes it possible for the farmer to get his requirements of petroleum products easily, regularly and quickly. By virtue of this complete service on the part of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), he may, literally, "make hay while the sun shines." He is independent of the health or endurance of horses. He can plow, cultivate or harvest when these tasks should be done. He can have a complete cycle of activity, operating even by shifts, if necessary. He can plan his operations on a definite schedule to produce a steady, constant supply of farm products for you and your family. Thus is illustrated how you benefit by the service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the farmer. These are benefits accruing to the world at large which accentuate the usefulness of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as a public servant, and emphasize how completely it discharges its

obligation as such.
