Second Section I | I | AMERIGAN MOVIES CORRUPT MORALS Films Factor in the Ruination of Morals of East Philippopolis— Bulgaria, Aug. 17. “American film presentations which would not be tolerated in America are doing their conspicuous share in ruin- ing the morals of the Near East," sald Dr. T. T. Holloway, American missionary and educator in Bulgaria, in speaking recently with a represen- tative of The Associated Press: “In the recent crimes which have stirred the publie, police investigation ‘"has discjosed that the inspiration of the crime, and the suggestion of the method by which it was attempted, came from an American film recently shown in the community. “In one criminal attempt a prom- inent citizen was instructed by the ‘Black Hand’ to deposit‘a large sum of money in the eorridor of a railroad car. The agent of the ‘Black Hand’ appeared to collect, and the investiga- tion that followed his arrest proved conclusively that his inspiration came from an American film called ‘The Secrets of New York.' “In a case of boy banditry it was proved that the suggestion of the erime came from another American film. In still another case, where a robbery by adult bandits was com- mitted, it was also discovered that the suggestion as to both crime and method came from an American film then running locally. “A doubly regrettable feature of such presentation is that they utterly misrepresent America and show it to the credulous in the light of a coun- try where the criminal is king." LOYE IN PENNSYLVANIA SCORNS ROYAL DECREE American Doughboy Figures in Ro- mance With Princess Ilyeana of Austria. Bucharest, Aug. 17.—Queen Marie tells a delightful story about her youngest daughter, Princess Ilyeana, in which an American doughboy liv- ing in Pennsylvania figures. The former Yankee soldier, who had served on the western front in I'rance, returned to his father’s farm in a little town near Philadelphia, where he saw photographs of the lit- tle princess with her pet dog in the American Sunday picterial supple- ments. Enamoured of her smile and girlish. beauty, the doughboy wrote the princess asking her to correspond with him, saying if she would become his girl he would “never take any other girl to the movies.” The princess, who is just past 14 »and surpassingly pretty, replied to the Yankee soldler boy, enclosing her photograph and saying she had heard a lot about the gallantry of the American soldiers and would be de- lighted to hear from him again. The doughboy replied expressing his re- newed admiration for Kurope's pret- tlest princess, and a’ wish to see her in real life. Ilyeana was about to ac- knowledge his letter when her moth- er, Queen Marle, /discovered the cor- respondence and cautioned her that she mtist not raise false hopes in the heart of hér youthful admirer. She ceased her letters regretfully, but the letters from the doughboy have con- tinued to this day. In relating the story the queen took occasion to say that the frequent re- ports about the engagement of II- veana to King Boris of Bulgaria were silly fabrications, and she cited the doughboy story as {llustrating the childlike simplicity of Ilyeana and her unpreparedness for marriage. ALTER COAT OF ARMS London, Aug. 17.—~The All-Russian Soviet executive, according to a Lon- don message, has decided to alter once more the coat of arms of the Russian Soviet republio. For the last few monthe the coat of arms consisted of a crossed sickle and hammer, but now this gives way to a more elaborate design which rep- resents the same sickle and hammer crossed in the background of a globe representing the earth and surrounded by a wreath of wheat with the words “Workers of the World, Unite” tran- scribed in Russian, French, English, Geérman, Arabic and Chinese. NEW BRN N HERA (BRITISH SUGGEST LIMIT ON AERIAL ARMAMENTS | Major General of English Army Says That It I§ Time That Thinking Is Done. London, Aug. 17. -~ Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice, who was chle? of military operations for Great Brit- ain during the war, declares in an article on the increase in the air forces of France and Britain that “it is high time the question of limita- tion of armaments is taken up peri- ously.” He says that the British gov- ernment's recent decision to nearly double England’'s present air equip- ment meant a return to competition in armaments and that such competi- tion is not lkely to lead to improved relations between the two countries. General Maurice emphasizes Great Britain’s willingness to enter into a conference on the reduction of air armaments similar to the Washington conference on naval armaments. But for the present, he says, Britain must, out of self-protection, bring her air strength up to that of Framee. “France,” says he, “is the only coun- try which within the next ten years is likely to be able to consider seri- ously an attack upon England from the alr. Today we are not in the most remote danger of invasion which comes by sea, Therefore, for the first time for centuries, the navy has ceased to be our first line of home defense, and that role has devolved upon the air force. AENDHENTS HARM LADY ASTOR' BILL Real Object of Beer Legislation Made Practically Harmless London, Aug. 17.—Lady Astor's liquor bill is regarded by the liquor interests as a huge joke—in fact so much so that they have made no se- rious efforts to hinder its passage. The most persistent opponents of the bill when it was first introduced in the Commons now regard ‘the amended form so harmless that some of them even went so far as to sup- port it. The original intention of “the bill was to prohibit the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors to persons under 18 years of age, heavy penalties being provid- ed for infringements. The committee in charge of the bill, however, insert- ed the vital words “knowingly under eighteen” and now the proprietor cannot be fined or arrested unless it is proved that he knew the consumer to be under age. Another amendment to the bill per- mits persons under 18 years to be served with beer and wines with a mealy This has earned for the bill the title “Beer and Biscult Bill” since the latter is recognized as a meal within the understanding of the Eng- lish law. What is more, it is not nec- essary for the meal to be ordered in the saloon, hence a boy or girl may bring a biscuit with them and be served with as much beer as he or she wishes. The only people Lady Astor's bill seems to have pleased are the anti- prohibitionists, for they believe that it has placed a barrier in the path of total prohibition, as it has used up all energy of its supperters in seeking to have this bill passed and there is not enough left to put the mere stringent and less evasive measures. The only prohibitionists in the House of Com- mons spoke against the hill as being a “weak sister,” which would do more harm to the cause than good. Lady Astor responded to the at tacks saying that she couldn't please everyone, and some vexatious meas- ure must be put up with. She sald that if she did what she wanted to on a hot day she would take a jump into the lake in St. James Park. @ To this another member cried out “T wish yon would, that has gone dry now.” UNBURN Apply Vicks very lghtly—it soothes the tortured skin, VIEKS VAPORUB Qver 17 Million Jars Used Yearly | GIGANTI WARNER’S RUST PROOF CORSETS The regular $1.50 numbers.
