Held for Week Before Tour
of Country.

The National Theater was comforta ply
filled last night. when the motion pic
ture play, Victory" was presented 70
the public. this being the second week
that this marvellous picture is being
shown. In order to. afford Washington
ians further opportunity Of witnessing
what has been unanimously hailed by
press and public as the greatest war
drama of modern times. it was decided
to hold Victory over for another
week, so that those who missed it last
week would be able to see It before it Is
taken on tour Of the principal cities Of
the East, under the management Of
Tom Moore.
, To Victory belongs the honor OF
being the first and only photo drama
to have the entire cooperation and aid
Of the United States Navy and War
departments. This was no easy matter
pally to, demonstrate the wonderful IA
cilitiAs Of Uncle Sans land and sea
forces In the time Of strife.
Indeed. one can sit in q comfortable
orchestra seat in cool and cozy> play
vaior performed by the brave lads in
blue. One can see at first sight all
the new and latest fighting machines in
full action. Intimate views are pre-.
sented of giant battleships belching
forth powderless shells. war hydro
planes dropping death-dealinE bombs
while sliding hundreds of feet above
land forts. the deadly work of submar-
inc destroyers. the rise and approach az
battle aeroplanes, and the exploding Of
full charge harbor mines, throwing. up
columns Of water more than 800 feet in
the air.
Around these thrilling scenes of war
Is woven an absorbing story OF love
and treachery. Briefly sketched the
renegades to destroy the American
warships in the harbor Of Guantana-
mo, the Cuban station of the Atlantic
fleet.
A clever and beautiful American girl,
Helen Gordon, daughter of Minister
Gordon, overhears the dastardly
scheme and saves the ship, and Incl.
dentally the life Of her sweetheart.

QUARTET
BREAKS UP At LAST
Society Singers and Dancers
Separate, Leaving But One
Member in Capital.

Had some vandal painted whiskers on
Mona Lisa or sacrilegiously draped a
mantle Ger the shoulders of September
Morn, Mr.. Admirer Of the Beautiful
could not have been more shocked.
Washingtonss petit quartet had been
broken, was the psychic message that
had just come to him. He was not alone
shocKed-he was sad: aye. very sad.to
learn that Cupid ana politics, despite the
strict vigil OF the Fine Arts CommIs-
sion over the Capitals art, had broken
this charming quartet Of society lit
tie beauties.
He murmured the names of these Pc
tite beauties which had for several
years elected the abs Of admiration
from beaux and bellies alike. There was
that charming little French doll, Miss
Doris Moore: there was Luncinda
Penny baker, who rivaled in her petite
Capitals social set. Then there was
little Jean Bowers a veritable vest
pocket edition Of Venus, and last-but
not 'least-C1arinne Hunter. whose
dainty charm and grace-jus: the same
tet-nohody disputed.
Yes -for three years or more, this
quartet had been the admiration OF
society. They had sung and danced for
Charity IN more than one society play.
and had, been especially prominent in
oaAAVct every IuuCtsOu gwen dihon8 ei0
young folk of the Capital. And then,
alas. the combination had to be broken.
Why was not Mr.. Admirer sad?
Cupid. in the form Of Elbert John
eton. better known as "Soxr Johnston,
college football hero and athlete. has
made Miss Pennybaker that was Mrs.
Johnston. Politics, by removing most
Republicans from office, has caused the
departure from the city Of Miss Bowers,
her father. former Fish Commissioner
Bowers, having removed with his family
to his former home at Martinsburg.
Now only Miss Hunter and Miss Moore
remain.
The former Is In mourning because
OF the death of her father. 80 only
the latter member Of the charming lit
tie bouquet Of beauties remains for the
boys" to admire at hops and teas dur
ing the coming winter season.

Forced To Use Stimulants.

In many industries of the present
day the mind and body of the working.
man are completely exhausted after hi,
days toll, and he feels forced to the
use of .stimulants to keep up.
1T 10 not entirely the workingman's 6
fault; 1t is largely the fault Of con-
ditions. Eliminate the conditions and
you will witness a great falling OF in
the use o. stimulants.'
Commissioner Newman confined his
remarks largely to a discussion of the
Lords prayer, which. he said, was a
0boring mans prayer because its very
our daily bread" was. in effect, a
prayer for strength to earn sustenance.
"A man with an empty stomach, and
i mean by that a man who Is down
and out and deprived of all that makes
life worth living, cannot resist tempta-
ton nor freely forgive those who tres
pass against him." said Mr.. Newman.
Prayer For Working Man.
II think the Lords prayer was in
tended first for the man who earns his
living by his muscle. and is a prayer
for strength that he may fulhn the
other provisions in the prayer which go
to make up righteous living"
Need for closer relations between the
church and the workingman was the
theme Of Commissioner Siddons. He
said that the church could do q great
deal of good by interesting itself In
more than the spiritual salvation of
man. It should see. he said, that the
conditions under which he works are
healthy Aad that he receives a fair
compensation for his labors. and should
take an active part In economical and
social problems.

UNIONS ARE CALLED
AID TO TEMPERANCE
Secretary Of Labor Wilson Says
Organizations Are Benefit,
! at Church Service.

IAber unions, by regulating the hours
Of men who work. so that they can get
plenty Of rest and will not feel the
need for artificial stimulants. are doing
more than any other one thing to re-
duce the consumption of alcoholic
spirits, according to Secretary Of Labor
Wilson. who, in company with Com
Inissiohers Siddons and Newman, ad-
dressed an audience at the Fifth Bap-
ttst Church last night.
The occasion was a special labor
Sunday service, and in the course of
his address the Secretary also pointed
out the, ,unselhshness Of organized labor
and called attention to the many ways
in which unorganized labor reaps a
benefit from the seed the unions have
sown.
The deadliest blow that oan possi-
bly, be dealt the use of stimulants by
the workingman will come when the
hours Of a days labor are reduced to
a point where a workingman can go
to his work in the morning feeling re-
freshed bv2 fffs sleep following his pre-
vtous days work." said Secretary VIII

PLAN HUGE BRIDGE
OVER THE HUDSON
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY
MAY BUILD 81, 900, 900
STRUCTURE.

NEW YORK. March 21.-The legis-
iatures OF New York and New Jersey
win be asked soon to authorize bond
issues for the construction of a bridge
over the Hudson river from Ninth
avenue in Manhattan, between Fifty
seventh and Fifty-eighth streets, to
the Hudson county boulevard and
Sixth street. in Weehawken.
The plan as outlined by Boifar,
Hodge & Baird, bridge engineers of
149 Broadway. and as approved by
New Jersey commission, headed by
w. III. Noyes. contemplates an ex-
pendture of $42,000.0 600, which would
fall about equally upon New York and
New Jersey.
The cost to New York would be
borne by the State as whole. but 1t
Ia proposed that the northern coun-
ties of New Jersey. the ones that
would be most benefited by the traf-
ic over the bridge, bear the Jersey
half of the cost. The plan Is for these
counties to issue bonds IL the APP
prevail OF the New Jersey legislature
can be secured.
A representative OF Bollar, Hodge
& Baird told Sun reporter today
that the cost of the bridge ts figured
at about 100000. 1t is expected
that 100000 more will have to be
devoted to buying land. that II will
require $5,000.000 to take care OF In
terest charges. and other financial ex-
penses. and that the engineering work
and contingent expenses will require
another $3,oO0,000
The outlook for bridge over the
Hudson by 1920 is very promising"
said Mr.. Hodge today. Engineers and
others interested had a dinner to-
night whit Governor Fielder, OF New
Jersey. who seems to be In sympathy.
with the project Attempts are being
made now to finance the work, and
the plans win soon be submitted to
the legislatures Of the two States.
