CARABAO ORDER DOOMED.
Letter Of Army and Navy Men Ex.
planning Dinner Would Shift
the Blame on Newspapers.

Officer, If the army and navy un-
dergoing inve stigation for the part
they played in the now famous Carabao
dinner in Washington will seek TO
shift all blame to the newspapers.
This was indicated last night when
Secretary of the Navy Daniels made
public letter of explanation signed
by Rear Admiral Howard, president
elect of the Military Order OF the
Carabao Qusrtermsster-G Ale
shire and igadier-General McIn-
tyre, constituting a committee rep
resenting the sociey.
According to many officers, the
fate of the order is sealed. Secre-
tary Daniels admitted yesterday hav-
ing advised Admiral Howard to with
draw his name as president of the or
ganization. The later is expected to
do so within the next day or two.
Secrt tary Daniels is also said to have
advised against any high officer of
the navy accepting the place.
Secretary Garrison is said to have
given similar advice to high officers
Of the army. 1t is expected that
the advice will be followed, at least
by those on the active list.

WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.
It's Horrors Shown in Realistic Pictures
at Academy Of Music Baltimore.

Ihe Inside # the White Slave
Traffic, presented by the Sociological
Research Film Corporation, is the at
traction at the New Academy of
Music, Baltimore, this week. The
motion pictures are presented in five
scenes, under the personal direction
of Samuel II. London, United States
government investigator.
Four performances are given daily.
The same pictures are now being
shown in New York to packed houses.
Judging from the large crowds that
were present at the performances yes-
terday, there is great interest being
taken in the suppression OF the traffic
in Baltimore. The pictures are true
to nature and tell an impressive
story. The re are not many persons
outside of those whose business it is
to bring the white slave traders un-
der the control of the law who really
know to what danger girls Of today
are subject.
The films tell the truths and pic
ture how the traders in the souls of
women lure unsuspe citing and pure
girls from their homes to live lives
worse than death. The pictures are
presented to arouse conscience to a
national war against white slavery.
The films teach lesson that should
be studied by both parents and their
children, for it may be the means of
saving many poor and innocent girls
from the horrors of falling into the
hands of the white slavers.

In response TO inquiries Secretary
of the Navy Daniels yesterday au-
thorized an explanation of why
more new ships are desired for the
navy though there is already a
shortage Of officers.
The explanation is that a mod
ern dreadnaught requires no more
officers than one of the older battle
ships though its fighting efficiency
is four or FIVE times as great. The
shortage in personnel is regarded
as all the more reason why there
should be more new ships so that off,

"Les MiserabIes" Films.

Ambitious as have been some Of
the motion picture plays that have
been pre- sented here, the films depict
ing the incidents and scenes of Victor
Hugo's masterpiece, Lies Miser
ables," which will close it's engage
ment at the Colonial tonight, are
said to be among the finest speci-
mems OF motion photography yet
made. And at the same time the
acting of the capable cast of French
actors who play che various roles
is said to be exceptional.
Lies Miserables, as drama
was a powerful play, but the limits-
tions of the stage robbed it Of
much of its force. The story is one
that has be en- told in every tongue
over the entire world. The film
marks distinct epoch in the ecuca-
tional work of the motion picture, it
is said. Huge 8 masterpiece has long
been used by teachers not only as a
wonderful story, but as moral les
son and a most powerful example OF
the massive drama of life itself.

sage is delivered with power and sp-
peal.
No expense was spared to make the
production complete one. More
than S100,00 was expended. The
actors, even to those in the minor
roles, are of repute on the French
stage. the most exacting in the
world Hugo wrote his great novel
as history. almost, and in making the
pictures this same historical note has
been maintained. The scenes, all of
unusual strength and dramatic power,
have been carefully made in the ex-
act localities described in his book
by the novelist and thus are absolute
ly in kee eeping with the story.
