Little by little the truth about
President Wilson's foreign policy il
coming out. Genuine students Of
foreign affairs have appreciated the
facts for some time, but writer's on
( the subject have been reluctant to
expose the humiliating truth. Now
that it is evident that all Europe
knows the facts and that 1t is only
Americans who are in the dark, how
ever, they are beginning to tell the
facts without further effort to de-
sceiye the American public.
The great fundamental, deplorable
and uncentrovertible fact Of the VIII.
son foreign policy is that ii has
brought this country perilously close
to war. Those who are best inform
ed, including the president and Sec
rotary Lansing, are those who most
keenly realize the danger.

GENM..

Genoa offers the best opportunity
Iof the mall for a stroll among con-
ditions such as existed 500 years ago
when the medieval world was at its
best. Genoa, the Proud, it was calleil
lin the middle ages, and the ancient
part of the town is still rioe Of
palaces o THOSE palmy days.
| The older STREETS Of Genoa abound
lin these palaces built in the sixteenth
century for the Occupancy OF nohla
families. Of this seaport of western
Italy, are still occupied by descendants
of the same families, while others
have fallen into plebelan hands and
have shops on the ground floor.
1 A stroll among these palaces is the
Lbest thing that Genoa now has to of
fer. Their exteriors are solemn and
imposing, evidently built that they
might Withstand attack and many OF
them bearing the scars Of battles that
were waged between the rival noble
families. One enters through an arch
ed gateway and: find himself in court
yard, adorned with fountains and rich
statuary. Grand marble staircases.
always the feature OF the Genoese
palaces of the Renaissance, lead into
the body of the houses where are to
tbe found salons and art galleries,
many of them still rich with the paint
Iings and sculpture Of Italy in the
art prime.
Most OF these structures are five
stories tall and. were the sky-scrapers
of their day. The. streets upon which
they are located, are often narrow and
without sidewalks. Their ancient
flagstones are deeply worn by the
passing Of many. generations OF feet.
| Another Of the interesting sights Of
Genoa is the ancient cathedral of San
Lorenzo. which dates back to HOO.
Its effect is most peculiar for 1t Is
built in alternate layers of black and
Waite, marble. Its most famous or
many relics is the Holy Grail, said to
be the cup from which Christ drank
on the occasion of. the Last Supper.
1t was captured in the Holy Land in
MOL.
The American tourist is particularly
interested in Geona for the reason
that it is believed to be the birth
place of Columbus. Bnquestionabiy
the great discoverer lived here and
the visitor may be shown the very
house in which he dwelt. 1t Is in
the vico Dritto Ponticello and Ia pre-
served by the municipality which also

FRESH AIR FOR STREET. CARS.

FRESH AIR FOR STREET CARS.
New York is entering upon a we'll
organized campaign for better sani-
tatton and ventilation OF street.
cars and subway trains. Thousands
ok,people travel In these conveyances
daily, and in most OF them the air is
foul because of lack OF ventilation.
This is especially true in the winter
when the ventilators provided are apt
to be closed.
Although the control OF these cars
is a municipal problem. DR.. 8. s..
Goldwater. health commissioner OF
New York, has asked the public health
commission of the state to issue
health regulations to be applied to
Streets cars. 1t d expected that
the regulations viii include some
stringent rules regarding the over
crowding Of the cars. DR.. Gold
water considers overcrowding and
lack OF ventilation more detrimental
to public health than lack Of proper
cleaning.

TIE INCREASED Coal Rate.

The following editorial from the
Wheeling Intel1igencer concerning the
proposed increase OF freight rates on
Goa, which seems to have been SINGLED
out especially for West Virginia
by the railroad trust, doubtless for
some Interior reason, has the indorse-
ment OF the Telegram. along with the
Endorsement. this newspaper believes,
OF countless others:
The proposed action Of the trunk
line railroads to advance freight rates
fifteen cents per ton on all coal shin
ped from this state into the markets
north, west and northwest, without
doubt Will place an embargo on all
coal production in West Virginia, and
cause suspension OF all mines ship
ping coal west or north. Just why
this enormous discrimination las been
made against West Virginia is moi
clear. but It is clear that IL 1t he
comes effective it will set back the
development Of the state and inf,Ir-
lously affect not only the coal indus
try. but all industries. Surely the
interstate Commerce Commission will
not permit this to be done, if the
facts are as stated by the coal COM
panies. The serious character Of the
situation MS been recognized by. the
Public Service Commission, and IL Is
stated the commission will ask per-
mission to appear before the national
regulating body to protest against the
palpa6le Injustice of tile proposed
advance.
It has been suggested that the
movement has been inspired. or rathe,
Is the result Of the present demor-
allied condition Of the coal industry
IN Ohio. Such is the. view Of a writer
IN the Charleston Post, who says:
tits generally known that a desper-
ate condition has been created in the
coal mining communities Of Ohio. on
account of political intrigue, legisla-
ton and incidentally industrial strife
growing out of legislation enacted
seeking to regulate the coal INDUSTRY
o. that state. 1t is said that mnch
OF the trade has been lost to the Ohio
operators, and 1t Il known that an
attempt was made to relieve the SIT
= -. 70 81 OAoAL 10 reJuce the
freight rates ON coal mined in ohio
to be shipped to Ohio markets. which
has not yet been disposed of by the
railroad commission of that state
This effort to reduce freight rates in
Ohio was opposed by transportation
interests, and 1t Is believed that the
TRANSPORTATION interests. in order "a
Offset the threatened reduction IN
freight rates in Ohio and Pennsylya-
MA, decided on,a policy. Of. ADVANCING
the freight rates on coal produced In
West Virginia"
1t is difficult 10 see why the great
coal roads of this state should enter
into such a suicidal egreement. as
they would be losers instead Of gain
ers by the enforcement Of the ad-
yanced rate, as It would stop produc-
ton of mines that have been heavy
shippers along their lines. The sonly
explanation Is that suggested by the
writer quoted above, that they have
been forced into the compact through
the domination of, the New York Cen
trail and Pennsylvania railroad com
panies, which invites a thorough in
vestigation by the Interstate Com
meree Commission.

THE BEST
Photopldy Department In
WASHINGTON
T hedtricdl Manager
Declares Pictures
Deprecidte Value
Of Stage Stars

It Is expected that the next few
months will briRg about a big
change in the motion picture busi-
ness, through the elimination of the
speculative producer and the final
adjustment of the production of pic
lures on a business basis that is not
inconsistent with the artistic de-
mands of picture patrons. Just at
present the situation In the motion
pictures is such that the whole
amusement business Is suffering.
The theatrical managers have ac-
cused the pictures or robbing the
stage of the best Of its actors and
actresses, through making Of
promises OF high salaries which
cannot be maintained
In this connection 1t Is interesting
to read a statement that has been
made by e. F. Albee, the vaude-
vile expert, who controls theaters
using actors in both regular attrac-
4ons, vaudeville, and pictures. Mr..
Albee is anxious for the success or
the stage stars In all three branches
OF the amusement business, but he
does not believe that the present
conditions in motion pictures are
helping to better the situation OF
the actor except in a temporary
way.
I exhibited the first motion picture
In New York at the old Union Square
twenty years ago." he said, land we
control more motion picture theaters
of both the small price and the high
er admission varieties, than any other
exhibitors. I state this fact. not in a
fair-minded tina, what 1 am going to
say is not a complaint. Nothing Is
further from my mind than TO be re-
Sarded as assuming dog in the
manger attitude toward a great busi-
ness enterprise.
But If Edwin Booth and Edwin
Forrest were alive today and allowed
their names to be blazoned in front
of every 8 and 10 cent picture house
throughout the length and breadth
of the country immortal as their art
might be, they would cease to be a
profitable attraction for the 81 au-
diences. The public demands a cer-
tain dignity, certain exclusiveness.
In such matters that is not to be
disregarded.
In regard to the players let me il
!ustrate the vaudeville managers at
titude in the matter. When Mrs.
Leslie Carter returned to the Palace
after her motion picture experiences
her salary was scaled down from
$500 to $500, because the exhibition
of her pictures had decreased her
value that much. AS a rule we es-
innate that a star or principal who
has appeared in the movies Is
worth one-third less as a vaudeville
drawing card.
This is cold matter Of business
and not a protest or an effort to
reduce an actors salary.
Great pictures like Quo Vadis? 2
and The Birth Of a Nation cannot
be provided every day. They attract
a crowd Of imitators and emulators
but this sort Of thing cannot last"
