THE BEE: OMAHA. MONDAY. MAROT 17. 1019. ; COMPOSITE SHIP PROGRAM HELD UP AT WASHINGTON New Type of Battleship Would Render Existing Fleets Obsolete and Involve Enormous Cost. Washington, March 16. Impor tant conclusions which probably will be reflected later at Taris in discus sion of limitation of naval arma ments are expected here to grow out A the forthcoming conference be tween Secretary Daniels and his sides and European admiralty offi cials. The secretary sailed yesterday accompanied by his three chief tech nical advisers. While the main object of the trip nf the American officials is to gather information upon which the navy de partment can base a report to con gress relative to the proposal to sub stitute gigantic composite cruiser battleships for present day capital war vessels, the fact that such a program would render all existing would be enormous ensures in the view of many officials here, that the project will be taken up at the peace conference. Pending the return of the secre tary and more complete intra-service discussion, naval officials generally are inclined to defer judgment as to the advisability of adopting the composite ship program. They take the view that even in it narorwest and btrtctly American aspect, the pro posal raisci questions of such a far reaching nature that individual opin ions should have no weight in arriv ing at the answer. Only the con census of the seasoned and trained judgment of the service, they argue should be considered by congress when the department's report is pre sented. It is understood that progress to ward the construction of the gigan tic battle cruisers,, six of which al ready have been authorized, has been watched with some concern by Brit ish naval authorities since it has ap peared likely they would necessitate additions to the British naval bud get. There . is little doubt among most officials here that the British would welcome an international un derstanding at Paris, which would eliminate that source of expenditure. The "composite" battleship for which Admiral' Mayo, commander-in-chief of the Allan ic fleet; Vi,ce Admiral Sims, commanding abroad, and many other high officers who have served overseas, have con tended, is supposed to represent the maximum obtainable in speed with out the sacrifice, of gun power or innor. Prefers Another War to Surrender of Any Fundamental Right Washington, March 16. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the military committee of the last senate, said in an address here be fore the Mississippi society that de feat of the treaty of peace and an other war would be preferable to the surrender of any fundamental Amer ican right. , He dwelt particularly upon the proposal of Viscount Ishii, Japanese ambassador, that the con stitution of the league of nations for bid racial discrimination. "The right of racial discrimination is purely a domestic question," said Senator Chamberlain. "If the clause that Viscount Ishii insists shall be in the constitution of the league of na tions is permitted to stand it means that we must let down the bars to die admission of orientals. That .vould mean the ruin of the west, "But if the allies refuse to'allow the plea of Japan and that,nation de clines to join the league, then we will have three outlawed nations Germany, Russia and Japan which could unite and bring on another A'orld war. "I believe in a league of nations, but it must be such a league as will not take away a single fundamental American right. Rather than see this done, I would defeat the treaty and .vitness another great war." Polish Protestants Ask to Be 'Included : Within the New State Washington, March 16. Poles of Protestant faith and who, according to their statistics, , number nearly 1.000,000, have presented to the peace conference a memorial asking that they be included within the new Polish state. The memorial made public here today hy the Polish bureau de clares that the entire duchy of Teschen is Polish and that the ( ' t e i- Ua towns and the Czechs are a decided minority. Polish protestants in Austrian and Prussian Silesia, Posnania and Pom rrania also ask to be united in the :iew state. Cameron Held as Suspect ; in Oregon Robbery Case Lincoln, March 16. (Special.) The police are holding Paul Cam eron on suspicion that l.e had a cart in the robbery of the station and Sostoftke at Alexandria, Ore., about two weeks ago. The, officials say Cameron . had a revolver, dynamite and several pack ages of stamps and tickets, when he was arrested. He does not deny that he was in Alexandria at the time, the police say, but does deny any knowledge of the robbery. Dyspeptics will do well to re member that a great many have been restored to health by Cham berlain's Tablets, and can now eat any sort of food that they crave.

The activities of the com munity center in the Blue Chip, a gambling hall, whose proprietor, the mysterious "Gentleman Geoff," is the father of a fascinating, vivacious, courageous girl, who knows no other name than "Billie."

Love binds together The hearts that are true, Whatever the trouble, Love will always aid you. The love that is passionate Will not be enduring, And love that is fickle Will not be assuring. But love that is steadfast And life's storm's sure to weather Is the love that cenipnts Two fond hearts together. No. 934. The best definition of Jove is found in the Bible: "Greater love 1. . . a.

The epitome of the subject is this: Love is the divine spark in hearts tiiat prompts them to sacrifice all of self, if need be, that the greatest gpod may fall upon some other life. No. 712.

No one questions Gentleman Geoff's simple assertion that he is the girl's father. A hidden valley in a nearby canyon forms a safe refuge for a band of typical, prowling brigands. The leader, called "The Vulture," and his band of vultures so named because of the peculiar head-dress of feathers they effect and because of their daring depredations enjoy nothing so much as their murderous, looting raids upon the sourrounding countryside and their quick retreats to their secret valley refuge, their spoils in hand, where they seem to vanish before the very eyes of their pursuers. Love?" Congest other, and in the suffering of either, the other would gladly share the pain or even die that they might live. , No. 926. ' - We can no more define love than any other law of nature. To know what love is, is to know all that God' knows. The wind bloweth' where it listeth. We hear the sound thereof but cannot tell from whence it cometh or whither it goeth." So is love. We behold the mysterious workings of its miraculous power but cannot tell from whence it com eth. Love is the subtle influence that rules the universe, its heart throbs are numerous as the sands upon the seashore and its ties as strong as the rocks that chain the boundless ocean m its bed. t - i Love knows i no ; east, no west no north. n south, its bounds are the universe. All people m all the land are sooner or later to feel its power. Love is no respector of persons.

No. 922. , Love is just a little fairy, Which dwells within the heart, And if you're guided by its hand, Your joys will not depart. It has a smile for mother, A loud cheer for dear old dad,' Sweet greetings for your sister. Fond hopes for bub who's bad. But best of all, it has great faith In one, it calls your lover And while you try to buffet it, T'will swear there is no other. Sure you're bound til settle down, W'ith the apple of it's eye; Now there's no end to its joy. No task too hard to try. It's there you live and labor, Until death makes a call, And it's there this little fairy Has the hardest fight of all.

No one, however, knows the location of the mysterious "Pool." Two competi tive oil companies are in quest of1 it, at d the representatives of these con cerns are in Limasito. Billie meets both of them Kean Thode and Starr Wiley. It is to the former, however, that she feels her self drawn. Thode saves her from Wiley's insults, and-this serves fur ther to strengthen her admiration fo. the young engineer. Tia Juana, an aged Mexican wom an, is the only person who knows the location of the pool. She is devoted to Billie and means to tell her the great secret.

This is his first ap pearance on the screen since the opening of this theater. The story of the play is taken from Louis Vance's story, "The Lone Wolf." It is based on the adventures of a fa mous French spy carrying an im portant document to America. It is a love and' adventure story with the, underground part of war as its back ground. It is a screen drama re plete with breathless moments and thrilling episodes. Appearing with Walthall are such well known actors and actresses as Mary Anderson, Lon Chaney, Milton Ross and Thornton Edwards. In addition to the feature and a news reel there is offered the very latest Max Sennett comedy, "The Village Smithy." D. W. Griffith's latest photoplay, "A Romance of Happy Valley," with a cast including Robert Harron, Lil lian Gish, George Fawcett and Kate Bruce, is the unusual attraction at the Strand theater this week. The film radiates the life of the hill peo ple who inhabit the hills and valleys along the Ohio river. Mr. Griffith used to ramble among these people as boy, and he portrays a full and accurate description of their home life w-ithout a single exaggeration. Every incident is such as has oc curred in happy valleys all over the country. It is their little worries and greater troubles, their frank, home ly goodness, their ideals and love that maintains interest throughout the play. His knowledge of actual conditions made the filming of the picture a quick and happy task. The drowsy keepers collecting tolls at the gates on the highways, the roasting ears and watermelons on the big table on a hot midsummer day, and other native habits which all enjoy are featured. Tom Moore in "A Man and His Money" has another full of fun com edy, drama, appearing at the Muse theater. He portrays the part of Harry Lathrop, a young man with too much real money. . His financee does not relish his idling habits and he gives up all his money for a year and answers an advertisement for 'a man who is accustomed to dogs.' To his chagrin the job con sists in being valst to the pampered pups of a society woman, who is incidentally the aunt of, his financee. His success in overcoming the scorn of his financee and winning her and also at the same time .saving her from herself and others who wish to do her harm make a pleasing photoplay. "A Man and His Mon ey" appears again today and Tues day. . , - , William Russell has a big swift ly moving western drama in "Where the West Begins" at the Sun thea ter. It is a wholesome comedy drama. In the principal supporting roles with Mr. Russell are Eileen Percy, J. Cullcn Landis, Frederick Vroom, Carl Stockdale and Alfred Ferguson. The story is of an east ern lad, who is duly shown by a brisk westerner, that life is just what you make it. Russell creates Lost Souls EPISODE No.l J rious occasions has befriended Juana and her grandson Jose. A note to Billie from the native woman leads tlw girl to believe that she, at last, is to learn where the pool of mys tery lies. Wiley enlists the aid of the vul tures to force Juana to disclose the location of the pool to him. ' Billie sights the Vulture and his band while riding through the can yon. She scents trouble, and urges her horse on to full speed, escaping by a daring leap down a perpendicu lar canyon side just as the brigands reach the ravine ledge above and are halted by Hie peril of the steep descent. Will the outlaws pursue her and prevent her from learning the de tails of "The Pool of Lost Souls"? On the Screen Today. BKANDEIS POROTTIV pHIIXIPS In -THE HEART OP HUMANITY." KIALTO HKNRY B.

Who is the most villianous villian on the screen today? A contest to decide would no doubt bring forth hundreds of nominees for the honor. One man, however, seems likely to be elected to. the exalted position without the contest. He is Eric von Stroheim. Several years ago, Stuart Holmes, who played opposite Theda Bara, was considered about the cleverest villian the screen had setn. His every move, his every expres sion was villianous, and his viilany won him high compliments. . How ever, since Holmes was an idol, many villians have come-and gone, but one man, Von Stroheim will linger long in the minds of those who view cinema productions. Crit ics assert that in "The Heart of Humanity," which will be shown at the Brandeis twice daily all this week, Von Stroheim scores a won derful triumph as Lieut Erich von Eberhard, one of the kaiser's most kultured assassins. W'ith typical cunning and cowardice as Lieut, von Eberhard, Mr. von Stroheim enacts a difficult part with ease that is re markable. Some criticj maintain his villiany will never be duplicated.
