fANDREW CALLS FOR CONTROL OF PACIFIC OCEAN Hvaiians and Pan-American Janal Essential to American Safety, He Tells Committee. WASHINGTON, Sept. 23. America's future military policy as advocated Monday before the house military committee by Major General J. W. McAndrew, chief of BtatI of the American expeditionary force throughout the war, should call for "peace on the Pacific on our own terms." This, he sad, can be assured by control of tie Pan-American Canal and the Hawaiian Islands. Although General McAndrew told toe committee he was "loath to disigree with the general staff," he took issue with its reorganization plan on
the basis of an army of 509,000 men.
proposed instead of a force of 300,000 "at the utmost." While joining with the general staff in advocating universal military training for 19-year-old youths, General McAndrew disagreed
with its proposed three-month period of training, declaring it was "inadequate" and should be at least six months. General McAndrew recommended
that the skeleton of twenty-one divis
Ions, a field army of 1,250,000 men, as proposed by the general staff, be approved, but he suggested that these divisions, witi the exception of four,
be skeletonized to 6,000 or 7,000 men, instead of a krger number proposed by the War Vepartment. He also agreed with th department plan for a "top-heavy" tfficers personnel, ex

Germans Did Not Invent
New Gas for Welfare
(By Associated Press) CHICAGO. Sept. 23. That the Germans did not invent any new gas for use in war was asserted today by James F. Norris, late lieutenant in the Chemical Warfare Service, speaking on the use of gas in warfare before the fifth National Exposition of the Chemical Industries. Mr. Norris, who was one of the American representatives to visit the chemical factories in the occupied zones along the Rhine, said he was surprised by the lack of novelty In the methods used to prepare war gases. "It should be a matter of pride to American chemists," he said, "to know that research carried out in the laboratory in Washington yielded two new compounds which were used by the American army. They had properties of great value from the standpoint of gas warfares and served new tactical ends." Mustard gas, termed by Mr. Norris "perhaps the most important gas of war," was manufactured by the Germans by a tedious and expensive process, he said, while new and simpler processes discovered by American and British chemists enabled the Allies to use great quantities of it. Finally the Germans discovered the Allied process through finding a 'dud' mustard gas
hell and a large factory for utilizing
the process was about to be opened
by them when the armistice was signed. Mr. Norris said the American chemists found much to admire in German chemical plants where "efficiency was the secret of success." In the manufacture of gases, he said one chemist was in charge of the preparation of a particular gas and gave his entire time to it while the men under him each had a particular thing to and learned to do it well.

(By Associated Press) TORONTO, Sept. 23. American and Canadian officials dealing with workmen's compensation and industrial accident problems met here today in the sixth annual convention of the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions. George A. Kingston, commissioner of
the Ontario compensation board, presided as chairman and a score of American officials were among the spoakers for the day. Discussing the desirability of uniformity of compensation acts, Royal Meeker, United States commissioner of Labor Statistics, in an address, declared it would be an easy matter to draft an act to cover all states and the Canadian provinces in a better way than is accomplished by any existing state act.
Red Cross Give Hospital to Town of Montdidier; Was American Barracks (By Associated Press) PARIS, Sept. 3. The memory of the American soldiers who fell at Cantigny is to be perpetuated at Montdidier by the establishment of a muriclpal hospital constructed from American Red Cross barracks. Over the entrance to the administration buildins will be an Inscription reading: "Gift of the American Red Cross to the Town of Montdidier. In Memory of the American Soldiers who Fell at Cantigny." Cantigny, in the valley below Montdider, was the first American battlefield in France. In the beginning of the Allied advance last summer, the Americans captured Cantigny against tremendous odds, advancing further than any other troops in taking it Many Americans He buried on the hillsides about the town. The French country people are keeping the graves green, many of the families having "adopted" American graves.
MURRAY Opera house, to the average American raised outside of the large cities, means an auditorium wherein all sorts of meetings and entertainments are held. Originally, the term was used to designate a theatre for the performance of opera exclusively. The first theatre of this sort the first real opera house was erected in Venice, Italy, ln 1637 and was called Teatro dl San Gassiano. Opera, as we know It today, first was played in Italy. Many of the most popular operas, however, are of comparatively recent composition. The writing of a modern opera and the difficulties encountered by the author ln obtaining recognition furnish the theme of a dramatic picture, "Words and Music By " which is being shown at the Murray theatre. Albert Ray is the star.
If there is a more popular comedian with local vaudeville fans than Charles Wood, the comedian with "Rolling Along," the minature musical comedy which opened yesterday at The Murray, we would like to know him. The audience remembered him from a previous visit, and accorded him a generous reception upon his entrance last evening. This act is without excep
tion the classiest girl production seen here, being composed of pretty girls, a wealth of elaborate scenery which does not show road wear, and real principals who can sing and dance. Miss Young, who in private life is Mrs. Wood, also came in for her share of recognition, her dancing specialty storming the house. The action of the piece takes place aboard ship, and the role of cabin boy is ideal for Mr. Wood to exploit his particular style of comedy. This act although only four weeks old, is booked for all the Keith big city houses and will soon be seen at The Palace, New York City. Dave Roth, a talented young man who plays every conceivable instrument and then dances, took about four encores before he could retire. His is another act of big time vintage, going to The Temple, Detroit, next week. This shows the calibre of the acts we
are seeing at The Murray. The Melroy Sisters open with a very classy dancing act and nearly "stopped the show" last night in the opening spot. Albert Ray in "Words and Music By" a five-reel Fox production, rounds out a bill entirely worth while. MURRETTE William Farnum puts one of the
most dramatic and intense fights ever
staged into the thrilling ending of his new photoplay, "Wolves of the Night," a fight into which Farnum throws himself with the agility of an athlete and the skill of a champion. As the desperate man, resolved to win back wife, child and fortune, from devilish schemers, he locks himself in an office, attacks three who attempt to coerce him with a pistol, and there, in as stirring an encounter as has ever been picturized, baffles them. This fight, which is just one of the many intense scenes in that compelling photoplay of love and finance, "Wolves of the Night," a William Fox production, showing at the Murrette theatre Wednesday and Thursday is one more demonstration of the surprises Farnum has up his sleeve. It proves that Farnum, popular, handsome, magnetic though he is, is no mere matinee idol, but a man's man for all his charm, and a man of power into the bargain.

It takes a strong man to "come back" after he has been insane for five years; has been robbed ot wife and fortune; has been victim of a plot of murder.
Such a man is Bruce Andrews, hero of a remarkable photoplay ot romance, crime, high finance and vengeance. And the favorite WM. FARNUM plays the hero.
A play worthy of the star a Btar worthy of the play. A story that carriers the spectator into the great northwest, into the heart of South America, and Into the whirlpool of Wall Street.
