ABOUTGERMANS
American Committee of En
gineers in London to Collect
Evidence Abont Teuton
Activities.
(Correspondence of The Aoclate4 Preea.)
London, July IS. The American
Committee of Engineers in London,
recently formed to help as it might
in the prosecution of the war, has ap
pointed a subcommittee whose chief
function it is to bring together ac
counts of such acts and words of the
enemy as they think should be pre
sented to the American people "lest
we forget what a determined and
ruthless enemy we( are fighting."
This subcommittee is made up of
men who have had exceptional op
portunities to study the events of the
war, many of them at first hand. In
a statement further explaining the
reasons for appointing the subcom
mittee, the engineers' committee as
a whole says:
"Great care will be taken in assem
bling only reliable information,
chiefly the words of the Germans
themselves, in order that, they may
be condemned out of their own
mouths. The committee believes that
there are still many good, people in
America, as in England, who say to
themselves, if not aloud, Are the
Germans as bad as painted?' We hope
that a weekly record of Oerman
'oings and sayings will help answer
t hat question and be a reminder that
such a spirit, manner of reasoning
and acting as the enemy manifests
now, no less than at the beginning
of the war. must be met and over
come if this world is to be a safe
place to live in."
Policy Toward Belgians.
The first statement of the subcom
mittee, under the caption "German
ism Week by Week, follows:
"The poliey of the Germans with
regard to the deported Belgians seems
to be to send home such as are too
weak to work. Thus of 587 ab.e
bodied men, slate-quarriers in the
Belgian town of Ecaussines, deported
to Germany, 62 d;ed n ere, and of the
210 repatriated, all in a lamentable
rendition, seventy rave since died
'We are not in a ptsr'tion to che:k
thtse fieures. thougr they compire
reasonably with figuies from other
places. But what we c'o know, and
ir.:s is the true Uerwanic touch, ne
Germans imposed a fine of $1,000 on
this town, because they refused to
hold their usual Bachelor's tea party
m Whit Monday, because they re
fused in other words to celebrate their
fellow-citizens' deportation into slav
ery and starvation, hents like these
ure to the Kaiser s tasv:, and are atiy
orcurnncr.
"We have the absolute evidence of
a neutral who was ptesedl of the fol
lowing circumstances in southern Set-
bia. A Serbian farn tr snot an Aus
trian officer in the kg (not meaning
to kill him) because the olfir er refund

tioned from the farm, as he was bound
to do. The ball stru-k an artery and
the officer died. Ihc eupen the Au$.

ing villages."
Town of Mons Fined. ',
"The town of Mons, famous for the
retreat, was fined $100,000 the other
day because a Belgian newspaper,
published in Holland, stated that the
duke of Vavaria was at Mons during
a recent allied air-raid. Mind you
there was no evidence that anyone
from Mons had conveyed the informi
tion, but one of the duke's generals
was killed and the Germans weie
furious. But this is not the first time
that Mons has been fined. It was
iWH 2.50.000 marks in the first days
of the war as a 'contribution.' But
this was waived because, as the om-
cial poster says, the people, pre
kerveA such eood behavior.'
"This good behavior did not pre
vent the Germans from Durning por
tions of Mons. like every other town
they entered. This general burning
they afterwards apoligized for by say
ing that 'they had been fired at by
Civilians. IMS was not uic wsc
at Mnns. aceordine to their own state
ment of the good behavior of the
"Mons was later fined 10,000 marks
'because of a derailment.' This was all
the explanation. The town council
astcH for further details, only to re
rpivp a written reolv. stating that the
derailment had occurred months be
fore at such a spot, which proved to
be 100 yards over the Mons line in the
town of Jemappes. Jemappes was
fined an even amount. Mons protested
that the derailment occurred outside
of the township and on the railroad,
over which the German authorities
and not the commune, had junsdic
tion. Nevertheless Mons had to pay
10,000 marks and before sundown.
Could anything be easier as a way of
making money? Could anything be
more contemptible in the justice of
things?
Watch Coal Bunkers.
"Tell America to watch its coal,
partieularly coal that is destined for
steamers. Among the swag found
on the kaiser's courier, recently caught
at Christiania, were highly explosive
bombs that looked precisely like
pieces of coal. One pound of am
minol, the explosive used at Messines,
would blow up the New York city
hall. It may be seen what a few
lumps of explosive coal could do when
once thrown into the fires of a
steamer.
One of the accomplices at Christi
ana said these bombs, ninety-five
large and twelve small ones, were
especially destined for American ves
sels leaving Norway, and have inde
pendent evidence that for a year past
there has been a highly organized
system to defeat inspection on these
steamers. The stewardesses hide
things in. the mattresses and transfer
articles from one stateroom to an
other, as the inspection proceeds. But
the danger is not alone there. These
coalbombs can be tossed onto any
coal car ' standing on a siding in
America, or even as the train passes.
Bang, she goes, out in midocean.
Think of the good ships that have al
ready gone down 'tor causes un
known.' America, seal your coal cars."
Schmidt Comes Back as
Assistant to C. E. Holah
C. E. Schmidt, former salesman
for the Pathe exchange in this terri
tory, has returned to Omaha from
Butte, Mont., where he was located
with this company as branch manager.
He returns in the capacity of assist
ant manager to Local Manager C. E.
Holah. He is well known in this
territory and it is with pleasure that
fee is welcomed back.

Tom finally succeeded in getting
the gun, -but before he could use it
Carslake viciously kicked out, sending
it spinning out of Tom's fingers and
almost breaking Tom's wrist. Then
Carslake dashed off down the pas
sage. Tom followed.
On the edge of the sewer hole into
which Pearl had slipped Tom and
Carslake engaged again. This time
Carslake came forth victor, pushing
Tom over the edge. Failing to drag
Larslake with him, Tom fell down,
down, through blackness, to find him
self in water at last.
He struggled against the tide, but
presently made out Pearl being car
ried along swiftly ahead of him, and
let himself go.
Seeing Movies in Japan and
China Interesting Experience
C. J, Hubbell, staff photographer of
the International and Hearst-Pathe
News, has arrived in New York after
a three years' trip which took him
from Alaska to Mexico on the Pa
cific coast to Hawaii and the interior
of the Philippines, Korea, Japan and
China.
"The motion picture craze has
swept Japan and China as it has the
Occident," says Mr. Hubbell. "Al
though the Japanese have their own
motion picture companies and their
own actors, they also use vast quanti
ties of American film and prefer them
to the native product. The prices of
admission to the theaters are ex
tremely low and the Japanese spend
all their leisure time1 looking at pic
tures. "Many odd customs prevail. In
cidental to the showing of a picture
in a Japanese theater a lecturer ap
pears at the side of the screen and
depicts trie emotions of the actors.
He weeps audibly with the heroine
and roars with laughter at the an
tics of the comedian. It is hard work
and these interpreters work in re
lays, although they seldom retire un
til they fall from exhaustion.
"The Chinese depend almost exclu
sively on America and Japan for their
film and have no native companies.
The Chinese theaters are divided into
two parts, the men sitting in the or
chestra and the women in' the gal
lery. Scenes that are laughable to an
American ar enacted in these ori
ental movie houses. As the visitor
deposits his ticket of admission in the
box at the door he is handed a hot
towel. As he walks to his seat he
wipes hands and face to remove the
grime and moisture in order to make
himself as comfortable as possible
tor the pleasure that is to follow.
But the theater owner insists on get
ting his towels back and the Chinese
ladies and gentlemen, after they are
seated, throw them across the house
to ushers who are stationed at vari
ous points.
"Each person of the audience is
also supplied with a cup of tea, which
he sips with a gusto that frequently,
when a thousand persons are in the
theater, resembles the escaping of
steam from a damaged boiler. De-
rtc these minor interruptions, the
hinese enjoy the silent drama to the
fullest extent and are not critical if
the film is seven or eieht years old
and sometimes so badly scratched and
damaged that it is little short of im
possible to distinguish exactly from
the movements of the figures and the
numerous defects of the film."
Millionaire's Estate Forms
Background for This Picture
For the taking of exterior for
"Richard the Brazen" the Greater
Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature which
will be the attraction at the Empress
theater four days starting todav.
Julian Detmer, a millionaire textile
manufacturer, turned over his mag
nificent estate, "Edgewood," at Tar-ryton-on-Hudson.
The Vitaeraoh
company, headed by Alice Joyce and
rtarry aiorey, made numerous trips
there and on each occasion thev were
the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Detmer.
The aay after they finished takine
scenes Miss Joyce, lar director and a
camera man surprised their hosts by
returning, apparently for further
work. Instead they turned the mem.
bers of the Detmer family into actors
ana naa them pose for the camera,
which was operated by Miss Joyce.
Scenes were taken of the family at
tea, in the drawing room, in tie con

by Astra Film Corporation Under Direction of Mr. Seitz
Both were carried out Into the river
near a ferry ship. Pearl clung with
her remaining strength to the spiles,
realizing that she could not swim to
safety before the incoming boat
reached the slip. She waved Tom
back and called to him to save him
self, but he would not.
He joined her, aided her, shouted
for help. A life preserver was thrown
from the dock as they swam before
the oncoming boat. The captain was
unable to stop the engines in time
and death teemed inevitable but two
deck hands worked like mad drawing
in the rope and pulled Pearl and Tom
ashore barely an instant before the
boat jammed the dock.
Pearl returned home after thanking
Tom and promising to call upon him
if need arose.
Knox arrived, to be followed pres-
ently by a young woman who offered
servatory, horseback riding on the es
tate and in other poses.
The scenes for "Richard the
Brazen" will rank among the finest
outdoor pictures ever made in this
country, because the estate of Mr,
Detmer is one of the most beautiful
in the United tSates. He has a fine
stable of horses and his greenhouses
are among the most extensive in the
east. It is believed that his collection
of evergreens is the largest in the
world and these were used in obtain
ing some exceptionally striking pic
tures.
Germans Busy Dividing
Belgium Into Two Parts
(Correspondence of The Aaaoclated Preae.)
The Hague, Netherlands, July 15.-
lne Germans are steadily carrying
out their scheme of dividing Belgium
into two parts, comprising the Wal
loon, or French-speaking, and the
Flemish provinces, respectively. The
last month has seen the splitting up
of the ministry of the interior and
the ministry of foreign affairs, leav'
ing only two departments not yet af
fected, tlfose of finance and of jus
tice. The Walloon ministries are being
transferred to Namur, the German
appointed capital of the French half
of Belgium, the Flemish remaining at
Brussels.
Where the Belgian officials have re
fused to lend their co-operation and
obey the German instructions and
this has occurred in the case of
number of leading administrators
such dissenters have been replaced by
men more pliable in German hands,
often chosen from among those who
have lent themselves to forwarding
the separation idea or have otherwise
commended themselves to the occupy
ing power.
According to the Taegliche Rund
schau, each of the projected parts of
Belgium is to have its own budget.
Austrian Sailors Taken
By Japs Are Released
(Correapondenc of The Aatoclated Preii.)
Tokio, Aug. 1. -Thirteen natives of
the Trentino, Carso and adjoining
districts of Austria who were serving
as bluejackets on the Austrian cruiser,
Kaiserin Elizabeth, which was sunk
at Tsijigtau, and who were taken
prisoners at the surrender of the
fortress, have been released by the
Japanese authorities and are to be re
turned to Italy.
Although nominally enemy pris
oners, all their sympathies were with
the entente allies, and their relations
with the other prisoner were, in con
sequence, strained. One of the men
was discovered attempting to commit
suicide, his explanation being that life
was unbearable under the conditions
in the camp.
Mexican General Arrested
For Making Pro-Ally Remarks
Mexico City, July 15. Charges of
breach of discipline of the army and
of conduct tending to embarrass the
foreign policy of Mexico have been
made against General Juan Merigo in
connection with a statement said to
have been made by him which was
published in a local paper and in
which he was alleged to have advo
cated that Mexico break 'with Ger
many and join the allies.
General Merigo asserts in reply to
the charges that at the time the state
ment was made he had resigned from
the army and his resignation had
been accepted, and that he considered
his utterances patriotic rather than
likely to involve Mexico to its detri-

In answer to his adve. tisement to
betray to him Carslake's hiding place.
Without consulting Pearl, Knox
agreed to go with her, but Pearl
heard the address 22J4 Washington
Mews and, summoning Tom to meet
her, followed Knox and the girl.
They arrived just in time, for the
girl and the policeman that Knox
picked up on the way were both Cars
lake's creatures sent out to bring
Knox in. As they were on the point
of taking the setting from him, Pearl
and Tom climbed up a trellis to the
roof of the shed, and broke in through
the window.
The violet diamond and the ring
were both recovered; Carslake, Nella
and the fake policeman were looked
in the cupboard.
Pearl, Tom and Knox left the
house and Knox was just about to
explain the mystery of the diamond
Empress Has Attractive Program;
Gardens and
For the first four days of this week,
starting today, at the Empress theater
will be shown one of the most pleasing
programs run at this popular theatcj
in a long time. Heading the bill is
the Barrier, Thatcher company in a
one-act play, "The Way Out," a play
let with a punch. The "Three" Misses
Weston present a high class musical
number under the title of "The Dainty
Musical Maids." Featuring Miss
Lillian Kay, who is the only woman
in the world catching double somer
saults, The Four Kasting Kays, sen
sational and comedy aerialists pre
sent a combination act consisting of
aerial return passing, casting, leap
ing and trampoline. Their comedian
is out of the ordinary and creates
plenty of laughs. They were for sev
eral years the feature act with the
big circuses. George and Toney,
knockabout comedians, do some
rapid-fire tumbling that is bound to
please.
The success of Lakeview, Omaha's
new amusement park, is largely at
tributed to its policy of catering espe
cially to women and children. Near
the lake, under the big cool shade
trees some of the most prominent
women's clubs of the city hold after
noon parties, teas and luncheons.
Lakeview is conducted on the high
est degree of respectability; thor
oughly policed and the employes are
taught to thin!, safety first at all
times. The attractions high in the.
estimation of the park's patrons are
the Jack Rabbit coaster, Wonderland,
Palace of Dancing, Carl Lamp's or
chestra, roller rink, bathing beach,
bowling alleys, carrousel1 and a
quarter of a hundred others.
The beginning of the Gayety's sea
son of musical burlesque for 1917-18
is announced by Manager E. L. John
son to occur on Saturday, August 18,
with a matinee performance. Book
ings for the entire season are solid,
as usual, there being no "dark" days
in fact, Mr. Johnson says that because
of the possible gloom that certain
phases of the world's war may cause
it shall be the Gayety's mission to
be even brighter than ever and to
spread the good cheer as is possible
only with musical burlesque. Much
housecleaning and rejuvenating will
be accomplished in the meantime to
prepare the theater for its thirty-eight

weeKs oi activity, ine opening at
traction will be "Oh, You Girls," the
chaperone for the girl and her forty
associates being Peter S. Clark, one
of the pioneers of the Columbia
Amusement company circuit.
The popularity of the Emoress Gar
den seems to increase each week.
Many people are heard to remark that
they love to eat at this popular .cafe
and amusement center for the reason
pf the restful atmosphere of this
beauty spot, which permits of the
forgetting of business worries, a
plendid meal and excellent entertain
ment combined. For the headliners
this week the Bell sisters have been
secured. They have just closed a
similar engagement at the Bismarck
Gardens in Chicago. The Adams'

when the high priestess passed In a
limousine and beckoned to him. With
a hasty farewell, he joined her.
Angrily, Pearl gave chase, with
Tom. A moment later Carslake broke
out and followed them.
Alone, Pearl forced her way into
the temple, to demand an explanation.
Angered at their treatment of her,
she snatched the diamond and threw
it through the window. It landed on
the ground right before Carslake. He
picked it up, but was challenged by
Tom, who was watching him. Cars

but was pursued by two Arabs sent
by the high priestess. ,
Pearl was sentenced to death by

She was bound and suspended over

Her one hope was in Tom.
Cabarets Are Busy
lake side dance pavilion is conducted
this season. An expert dancer, author
ity on all the latest dances, is on
the floor at all times to politely point
to'objectional features to any dancers
practicing them, and to request that
they be discontinued. As a result,
no disagreeable conduct is noticable
on the floor at any time and a con
stant gallery of people at the doors
and wide open windows is not back
ward in extending its approval.
Frequently large parties of young so
ciety people from Omaha and Council
Bluffs dance at the pavilion. This
feature of the popular park would be
less attractive at this season than the
bathing beach or the water, but with
the cool lake breezes blowing di
rectly through it, the big dance build
ing is gay every evening and after
noon with crowds.

Bessie Love, one of the sweetest
girlies on the Triangle program, was
born in Los Angeles, Cal., and re
ceived her education ther,e. Her
screen career has always been with
this company and she has starred in
many of their best productions. She
made her initial debut in "The Flying
Torpedo," and has also been seen in
"A Sister of Six," "Intolerance," "The
Heiress at Coffee Dans," "The Doll
Shop," "Nina, the Flower Girl," "Hell
to Pay Austin." with Wilfred Lucas,
"The Square Deal Man" and "The
Aryan" with William S. Hart, and
"The Good Bad Man" with Douglas
Fairbanks. She is now appearing in
her latest production of the big white
tops, "The Sawdust Ring." She is
still in her 'teens and is a great
favorite with her co-workers and di
rectors. Letters will reach her at the
Triangle studios, Los Angeles, Cal.
Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago and Den
ver, and will soon open an office in
Indianapolis. Mr. Cropper was lo
cated here in 1907 with the Titls
burg Calcium and Film company, at
which time Omaha had only two
movie theaters. This company has just
come into being the first of the year
and is doing a flourishing business.
Mr. Cropper says: "Some of the big
gest and best known stars and pro
ducers will soon be releasing their
product through the Standard Film
corporation."
Play Titles Sometimes Do
More Than Authors Ask For
Scenario writers who draw upon the
theatrical life for inspiration usually
deal in the intimate things of the
stage the success or failure of the
aspiring young person who would be
a star; or, affair of the heart that
lead behind the scenes. Waldemar
Young in "The Clean-Up," has shed
new light on the theater in his "off
stage" comedy-drama prepared for the
screen by Bluebird photoplays and
announced for presentation at the
Hipp theater today and Monday.
Franklin Farnum will impersonate
the advance agent of a theatrical com
pany, and Brownie Vernon will be
the girl who helped him to create
public interest in his attraction. "The
Girl and the Garter" was objected to
by the Purity league, an organiza
tion similiar to those self-appointed
censors of morals that have more or
less influence iq small towns. The
league knew the show was shocking,
because the man who dictated the
reformers' activities had attended the
show while he was on a visit to New
York "just to see how shocking it
was. The clever trick played by the
advance agent of the show, and the
manner in which he turned the tables
on the "reformers," captalizing their
crusade at the box-office, constitutes
the acme of comedy, while the love
story that comes to a happy ending
adds an element of "heart interest''
to advance the photoplay in its gen
eral interest. It's a Bluebird and that
means the best of entertainment.
Virginia Pearson Shows She
Can Scrap if She Has To
True, there is nothing so terrible
as a woman s wratheven when it a
screen wrath.
Irving Cummings, the well known
William Fox player, who is now ap
pearing in "Wrath of Love," in which
Virginia Pearson is starred, has been
in many a film fight, but never has
been torn and battered as in the tussle
with Miss Pearson in that filhi.
Not that Miss Pearson was really
angry; she could hardly keep from
laughing as she mussed Mr. Cum
ming'a hair, made scars on his cheeks
and pulled his collar off.
Mr. Cummings insists he was never
so thoroughly maimed in his life. The,
fact that the star who was doing the
mauling wasn't angry didn't detract
from its effectiveness.

didn't "return the compliment" with
as much zest as if his opponent had
been a man. Then, too, the star was

for it.

Strand Will Be Home of
Artcraft Pictures in September
Commencing September 2, the
Strand will be the home of Para-mount-Artcraft
features, which means
that Douglas Fairbanks, Billie Burke,
Mary Pickford, Marguerite Clark and
other famous screen stars will be seen
at the popular Douglas street house.
"After I was firmly convinced that
this program was the strongest on the
market," said Manager Thomas, "we
signed contract for this service at the
highest weekly film rental ever paid
by an Omaha theater, but I believe
our patrons will appreciate this fact,
and turn out liberally as they have in
the past."
September's program includes Mar
guerite Clark in "The Amazon," said
to be the most pleasing vehicle this
dainty screen star has ever had;
Douglas Fairbanks in his latest mile-a-minute
offering, "Down to Earth;"
reappearance of that famous stage
star Miss Billie Burke in a well
known dramatic success, together
with George M. Cohan in "Seven
Keys to Baldpate." In addition
Jack Pickfor.d is seen in "The Var
mint," Sessue Hayakawa in "Hash
imiri Togo," Vivian Martin in "Little
Miss Optimist," and Mme. Petrova in
"The Law of the Land."
Bryant Washburn Breaks Out
Selling Shoes in a Harem
Following the srreat success of his
"Skinner" pictures. Bryant Washburn
appears in "Filling His Own Shoes,"
a highly amusing story taken from
Ainslee's magazine.
"Filling His Own Shoes" forms an
ideal story for Washburn. Rowland
has conceived one of the most amus
ing situations ever written. He puts
a typical American shoe clerk ovei
in Paris, France; makes, him lose hit
job, then lets him inherit a fortunt
and a Turkish harem. The entire har
em falls in love with the shoe clerk
but he loves an American eirl. In
untangling these complications and
letting the clerks love run its true
course, and at the same time getting
the three beautiful members of the
harem married off happily, enough
accidents occur to keep the specta
tors in a constant chuckle.
Bryant Washburn proved his adap
tability to light comedy in "Skinner's,
Dress Suit" and "Skinner's Bubble,"
his two most recent 1 features. That
his performance in the new produc
tion is fully up to the high standard
he set for himself in these is the
opinion of critics everywhere. Hazel
Daly again appears as his leading
woman.
This feature will be the attraction
at the Muse theater today and Mon
day, i
