The development OF the movie

would challenge the elasticity OF the
Imagination were there not the facts
to chain us to actually.

December. American manufacturers
have turned out no less than ten
thousand separate reels OF negative
film from each of which reels thir-

one thousand feet long. which makes
$50 million feet Of film all told. In

About sixty eight thousand miles OF
motion pictures-enough to go round
the globe a little less than three
times. In one year-less month!
The cost OF producing the ordinary
sort Of originals is at least 81 per
foot. This means 20 million dollars
spent In making negative reels alone.
The 35 million copies cost four cents

lars for these. Altogether 81 mil

Wilson Would Amend
Treaties that Conflict
With Seaman's Law

WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE United
States has instructed It's diplomatists
abroad to ask for the annuiIment OF those
paragraphs OF commercial treaties which
conflict with the new sean,en's law.
AZ the seamen's law does not become
effective until March. 1916 for foreign
ships there is much time for diplomatic
exchanges. President Wilson signed II
during the closing hours Of the last con-
gress and let II become known he thought
he could handle the objections to II with
full recognition OF the rights OF other
nations.
Germany. Great Britain. italy. France
and Belgium and other nations with
which the United States has commerce

tions that the bilrs provisions raising the
standards of labor and affecting the
equipment of ships which visit American
waters conflicted with their rights under
treaties.
The provisions of the act apply to
American vessels earlier than TO foreign
ones. and one company which manned its
ships with Chinese crews already has
given notice that It will discontinue sail

Bryan Tells rm0n-Americ0ns U. S.
Perfectly Neutral; Asks Aid for Peace

WASHINGTON, June 11.-W. ].
Bryan's statement, addressed to the
German-Americans, follows:
June IL, 1915.
ITO the German-Americans;
Permit me to address a word
to you as one American citizen
speaking to fellow citizens In whose
patriotism he has entire confidence.
It is natural that in a contest be-
tween your fatherland and other
European nations your sympAthies
should be with the country of your
birth. 1t is no cause for censure
that this is true; 1t would be a re-
Election upon you IL 1t were not true.
Do not the sons Of Great Britain
sympathize with theirs? Is not the
same true of Russia and of Italy ?
why should It not be true of those
who are born in Germany or Austria?
The trouble is that the strength on
both sides have mistaken a natural
attachment felt for birthplaces for
disloyalty to this country.
BEST Evidence of Neutrality.
"The president has been unjustly
criticised by the partsans of both
Sides. the very best evidence of his
neutrality. II he had SO conducted
the government as to wholly please
either side It would excite not only
establishment, but misgivings, for
partisans can not give an unbiased
judgment; they will OF necessity
look at the question from their own
point of view, giving praise or blame
according as the act, regardless OF
it's real character, helps OF hurts the
side with which they have aligned
themselves.

CONSPIRACY BACK
OF LUSITANIA CASE
Federal Grand Jury Investigating
Affidavits that the Big Ship
Carried Guns.
MAN CHARGED WITH PERJURY

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE fed
eral grand jury. now in session here,
it was stated today will make a thor
ough investigation to determine
whether there was a conspiracy to
defraud the United States by per-
sons, who obtained the affidavits
submitted to the State department,
In which 1t was asserted the steam
ship Lusitania carried four guns
when 1t left here on its last trip on
April 80. The inquiry may last for
several weeks. Roger Wood, the as
sistant United States district attor-
ney. who is directing the inquiry,
said that the grand jury would fol-
low the evidence as far as 1t might
lead. He declined to make any pre-
diction as to who might become in
vloved. Gt. s3
The arrest yesterday Of Gustav stahl,
a German reservist, who made one Of the
Faffidavfts given TO the German embassy
for submission to the State department.
is regarded by the federal prosecutors as
only an incident OF what Is likely to be
"a far-roaohing Investigation. Stahl, who
is charged with perjury In repeating be-
fore the grand jury the substance of his
affidavit, is held In 1900 bail for a hear
ing before a United States commissioner
June a..
Thus far Paul Koenig. also known as
5temler. who the federal authorities say
is head Of the secret service department
OF the Hamburg-Amertcan Steamship
line. is the only man they name as being
involved In the alleged conspiracy. 1t
was stated today that Koenig revealed
TO customs officials here the fact that
Stahl was In Albany after agents of the
Department Of Justice had been search
ing for him for several days. The pro-
ceedings against Koenig were initiated
to establish the charge that he used
improper influence to induce Stahl to
make his affidavit.
Joseph Weir. Anton Grieve and a man
named Bruckner. who also made affi-
davits in the Lusitania case, have been
questioned by agents of the Department
of Justice and can be summoned before

sired Their affidavits tended to cor

U. S. Is Preparing a
New Note to Britain
On Shipping Question

WASHINGTON. June lit was stated
officially today at the state department
that while officials had been for more
than two months assembling data on
which TO base new note to Great
Britain on Interruptions to American
commerce by British naval operations
there was as yet no indication OF when
the new communication would be ready
for Transmission to London.
It is intended that the new representa-
tions shall be so complete in detail as to
preclude protracted discussion.
AS yet Great Britain has made no reply
70 the last American note on the orders
in council. There Is a belief In some
quarters here that II is unlikely a reply
win be made while the situation between
the United States and Germany continues.
1t Is intimated. that the Washington
government note might go forward as
soon as il was completed without regard
TO the status of the negotiations with
Berlin.
