Aviation Being Developed.

Washington. d. C.-Secretary Dan.
iels Sunday night made public letter
he has written to President Garfield OF
Williams college, detailing the work
in the navy during the past two years.
Mr.. Daniels wrote in reply to Mr.. Gar
fields request for material to meet
statements that the United States is
unprepared for military emergencies.
Excerpts from the letter follow:
''There are now in active service,
fully commissioned, 225 vessels of all
characters, which is SO more than
were fully commissioned when l be-
came secretary. There are also 101
vessels of various types, in reserve and
in ordinary and uncommissioned, cap
able of rendering service in war. We
have under construction and authorized
n vessels (nine dreadnaughts, 20 de-
stroyers, 3S submarines and seven aux
iliaries) as compared with 54 vessels
five dreadnaughts, IA destroyers, %
submarines, three gunboats and nine
auxiliaries) which were under con-
struction March l, 1918.
"All vessels in active service and
in reserve are supplied with munitions
of war. Within the last two years
the quantity of all has been steadily
and greatly increased. For example,
we have increased the number of
mines on hand and in process of manu-
facture by 244 per cent and torpedoes
by 80 per cent. By the enlargement
Of the naval powder factory we shall
soon be able almost to double its
former capacity, and like enlargement
Of the torpedo works and the equip
nent of plant to construct mines will
still further increase the quantity of
such stock, and the possession of these
plants in times of emergency will en-
able the department to be in better
state of preparedness as regards the
supply of ammunition than ever be-
fore.

NO RIGHT SURRENDERED BalGtRtNTS
Reply Assumes Won Bernstorff To Be
Laboring Under Certain False
lmpressions"-President Pens
Note and Bryan Signs II.

Washington, ID. G. - The United
States government replied Thursday to
the recent memorandum In which
Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, declared that "if the Ameri-
can people desire to observe true neu-
trality, they will find means to stop
the exclusive importation Of arms to
one side, or at least to use this export
trade as means to uphold the legiti-
mate trade with Germany, especially
the trade in foodstuffs."
The American note, which is signed
by Secretary Bryan, was drafted at
the State department, but was finally
penned by President Wilson himself.
After pointing out that the language
used by Count Won Bernstortf is sus-
ceptible of being construed as impugn-
ing the good faith of the United
States in the performance Of its duties
as a neutral" the note takes it for
granted that no such implication was
intended" and suggests that evidently
the German ambassador "is laboring
under certain false impressions.
1t is then declared that while the
relations Of the United States with
any one of the belligerents "cannot
wisely be made a subject Of discussion
with third government, such cor
between the United States
and the allies as has been published
shows ''the steadfast refusal" of the
government ito acknowledge the right
of any belligerent to alter the accept
ed rules of war at sea insofar as they
affect the rights and interests of neu-
trails"
The attitude of the United States on
the question of expectations of arms
is restated--namely, that to place any
embargo on arms during the progress
Of war would be "a direct violation
Of the neutrality of the United
States" The note refers to the spirit
Of friendship which the United States
desires always to manifest toward Ger
many and its people, and concludes
with the declaration that the neutral
ity of the United States is founded
upon the firm basis of conscience and
good will"

ACTIVITY IN
LUBIN LAND
What the Coming of New Blood
Means to Philadelphia's
Producing Company

Raymond Hitchcock Is out in Lubin
Land--which is approximately 18th and
Lehigh. Edgar Lewis has gone west to
film THE Great Divide" out In Arizona
All that means something II means new
energy and new Initiative in Philadel-
phia's own photoplay centre.
The middle OF the energy lies some
where between the desks of Ferdinand
Singh and Ira NJ. Lowry. They are the
active heads of the Lubin company and
they have put whole new staff of direc-
tors and actors at work here and in the
Southern and Western studios. Many Of
these changes have already been an
nounced in the EVENING LEDGER, but
they are worth recapitulation.
Edgar Lewis is the most important
item. 1t is only necessary TO mention the
features he has directed: Sampson"
"The Plunderer," "The Gilded Fool" and
"The Bondman" He is now at work on
his first big Lubin feature. "The Great
Divide" with House Peters and Ethel
Clayton.
Another new director is John II. Pratt,
who, too. has an enviable record of film
successes to his credit. Mr.. Pratt has
just finished his first Lubin feature, the
scenario of which was written by Louis
Reeves Harrison. The play bears the
title THE Rights of Man." Richard
Buhler and Rosetta Brice have the lead
ing roles.
A third accession TO the directorial
ranks is Edward Mcl<im whose speciality
is light comedies. in which ID. L. Don
is to be featured. Earl Metcalfe, who
has been a leading man in the Lubn COM
pany for the last four years, is to be-
como a director Of Billie Reeves COM
edies. A most valuable acquisition is
Anthony P. Kelly, whose achievements
as scenario writer have made him con-
spicuous. Mark Swan and DIR. Daniel
Carson Goodman. both of them well
known and fertile writers, have also been
added to the Lubin staft of scenario men.

The latest addition to the transconti-

the Lubin Manufacturing Company at
Coronado, Cal, has been formally opened

Segmund Lubin. president of the
subin Manufacturing Company, was
present at the occasion, and delivered
the address of dedication. More than 500
of the leading business men and officials
of Coronado and San Diego were present,
including the Mayor of Coronado and the
president Of the San Diego Chamber OF
Commerce. After the dedication cere-
mony, Manager Wilbert Melville and his
stan were hosts at a lavish entertain
ment. banquet and reception.
Situated on the edge of San Diego Bay,
directly opposite the city of San Diego,
the new Lubin plant is surrounded by
scenic investiture which bespeaks the ar
tistic taste of the one responsible for its
selection.
The studio occupies some eight acres of
ground. The office and administration
building at one end is of most attractive
and pleasing design and provides ample
quarters for the office force and labora-
tories. At the other end of the grounds
is a structure running along the edge Cf
the bay, 30 by $50 feet and four stories
high. designed of old English castle style
architecture. Between these two build

President Meets Grumpy

President Wilson has finally succeeded
in seeing Cyril Maude's performance OF
Grumpy" after two attempts that failed.
When Mr.. Maude was first appearing in
the classic at Wallack's, in New York,
the President arranged to go. but at the
last moment was prevented from doing
so. But he wrote Mr.. Maudc a note ex-
pressing his keen disappointment. and the
note is one of the English actors cher
ished possessions. Later Mr.. Maude acted
his famous character in Washington and
again President Wilson was unable to
attend. So when he was in New York
last week buying an engagement ring for
Mrs. Gait, his choice Of an evening en-
tertainment was naturally Grumpy"
The spontaneous laughter of the Presi-
dent throughout the performance in
dicated that he had been amply repaid for
his persistence.
Mr. Maude said after the performance
that he had played many times before
Kings and Queens, Emperors and Cars,
and at command performances of every
description, but that Friday night at the
Empire was the first time he had ever
acted before the President of a republic.

the most favorable conditions for direc-
tors and actors.
