What Scenario Writers Are Paid.


In the American Magazine Walter
Prichard Eaton has an article on the
moving picture industry in which he
says:
mo more than three years ago
many scenario writer's were getting
$25 a week, and they were expected
to turn out a picture every seven
days. Pictures purchased from out
side were paid for correspondingly,
or at even lesser rates. Bear in mind,
also, that no royalties were Tor are)
paid. Do you suppose for a moment
that any man with a real talent for
story telling would give a second
thought to motion picture writing I'M
der such conditions?
Times are better now because the
keen competition has forced up
prices, but the returns to the authors
are still in ridiculous disproportion -
the salaries of the actors and the to-
tai cost of the production. An aver
age scenario writer may now get from
800 I 5000 a week. At such a scale.
young men of talent may possibly be
secured"

IN PATHETIC WRECK
WRITER TELLS OF SEEING RUINS
OF REIMs CATHEDRAL.
Beautiful Structure Damaged Beyond
Hope of Repair, Though Parts Of 1t
Miraculously Escaped the
General Destruction.

A correspondent Of the London
Standard, visiting the French front
gives his impressions of the war-dam-
aged cathedral of Reims. The spec
ter of the cathedral looms up out of
the mist with Turneresque effect as
we top the Reims chain of hills" he
writes, and in ten minutes we are in
front of the statue of Jeanne dare,
which stands unsearred over against
the wrecked porticos. The Maid OF
Orleans seems to have bequeathed to
her stone image the charm she en-
joyed against the shafts of war, as the
street leading up to the square and
the walls of the Lion dor are pitted,
when not badly torn or altogether
shattered by shell %splinters. Thirty
feet high around the basement, the
masonry of the cathedral is shielded
with s~andbags, but not one of the
~statuettes that fill the interstices be-
tween the pilasters seems to have
escaped"
The interior, he says, is filled with
an Undesirable cold and entering it
is reminiscent of Egyptian buried tenn
pies. Swept into many heaps are
what the verger calls tears of Lead
These are the settings of the stained
glass windows. Only one of a triple
set of colored windows remains al
most intact yer the entrance to the
sacristy. In the center aisle opposite
the principal pulpit there is also a
crucihx that none of the shells has
touched. "All of the rest is more
or less ruin" says the correspondent.
This is the more extraordinary be-
cause in the roof there is a hole
scarcely larger than a mans hand;
but the shock was sufficient to reduce
the interior to chaos" One instance
Of escape from wreckage is de-
scribed as a freak that is almost a
miracle. Facing a huge chasm ~
feet square in the north wall in an
inner passage" says the writer, lis a
lovely bas-relief of the visit of the
Magi, framed in a pure Gothic arch
way, as fresh looking as if it had
just left the hand of the sculptor of
five centuries ago."
Before we leave" he continues,
I'VE are taken to the museum" as it
is styled-a forlorn collection of res.
cued debris. 1t is curious to find here
a hundred or two of the heads and
limbs missing from the outside stat
ues and ~statuettes. They look as il
they had been guillotined by the Ger
mans; perhaps it is because the necks
are the slenderest parts of the images,
but it is almost tragic, although they
are but stone. Here is the 'Sourire
de Reims, the famous woman's head
that stood over the north door. 1t was
noised abroad that it had been SNUG
gled away and sold to an American
millionaire, but there is no mistak
ing the Smile as 1T lies, brown and
Clipped, on a bench-both eyes and
the nose gone, and only the under
lip curving upward. 1t is as if the
features had been sliced off with a
knife"

GRAVE D|SAFFECT|0N REPORTED
 IN RANKS OF MEXICAN SOLDIERS
(sy Rev..w Leased Wire)

FL PASO. March 22-The censor ship who for two days has enveloped the Mexican situation as far as any definite news of the pursuit of Villa is concerned. gave fresh reports from
 various sources of grave disaffection
 among the Carranza troops. On the border. at least. il is firmly believed that soldiers of the First Chief are far from giving any real cooperation to the American force. It is admitted that Carranza and some of his lieuten-
 ants are sincere in wishing 10 avoid friction with the United States. but it
 is not believed the head of the de facto
 government represents the sentiments of his army.
 Whatever is the real situation In the
 section of the Sierra Madres where Carranzistas and Villistas are operat- ing the main interest here lies in the railroad situation.
 Even before the Americans request
 ed General CarranZa to permit the use of the northern Mexican railroads for
 the transportation of supplies. omi-
 nous rumors had reached here that General Funston was experiencing se-
 rious difficulty in forwarding supplies
 to General Parshing's column. From several different sources cir cumstantial report was received today that the garrison at Chihuahua. suppos
 ed to number 1000 men. had revolted
 and that the commander. Gen. Luis
 Herrera. had declared in favor of Vil- la Andres Garcia. the Carranza con

Apprehension Felt
 In Washington On
 Herrerera's S Actions
Officials in Capital As We'll As Those at San Antonio Are Greatly Worried Over the Affair.
(sy Review Leased Wire.

WASHINGTON. March o. Grave apprehension regarding the outcome of the American expedition into Mexi- co in pursuit of Villa was felt for the first time in Washington tonight. af- ter receipt of a dispatch from Gen. Funston saying a report had reached him that CarranZa troops. under Luis Herrera, had revolted and aligned themselves with Villa.
 Gen. Funston did not disclose the source of his information and % far as could be learned. no confirmation had reached the department CT the Mexican embassy.
 If Herrera an dhis troops have join ed Villa, some of the officials believe other Carranza commanders and troops may follow their example. In such an event. the United States and the de facto government of Mexico would find themselves confronted with a situation so serious that it's possibili- ties could hardly be estimated.

Carranza to govern the operations of the American expedition in Mexico was agreed upon late today Dy Acting Secretary Polk and Eliseo Arredondo. ambassador designate IL was forwarded al once 10 Carrsnza for approval and is eX- pected to be in effect within few days
 Details of the proposed convention will be withheld until signed. lt is known. however. that it is designed to minimize the possibility of misunder. standing between the two governments by setting forh the reasons of the ex- traordinary circumstances and pre- scribing as far as possible the meas. ures to be pursued by the Mexican and American troops in pursuit of ban dits

CITY REGISTRATION FUR PRIMARY
 AND ELECTION OPENS TOMORROW

Registration for the primary and city election opens tomorrow morning. Announcement to this effect is car ried in this mornings Review. It starts, in so far as the actual voting is concerned, the first step in the pro cess of intermittent, yet regular, chang ing in Bisbee's municipal, officialdom.
 According to the statement of City Attorney Flanigan, made some weeks ago, it will not be necessary for those who registered and voted at the city election two years ago to register, prior to the primary. The registra- tion, of 1914, will be sufficient. IL will be necessary, however, to register again before voting in the final cleo tion, which is called for May 9.
 There appears to be some confu- sion. regarding the registration in Bisbee. This is particularly so in that many people think because they regis tered at the precinct, county and state election in 1914, but who did not vote in the spring at the city election. should be able to vote in the primary. This is not the case. accord ing to the city officials.
 As a consequence. those who are not on the city election register, will have to qualify before the primary or on the primary day. City Clerk But Ter has announced that he will be in his office March 2S and will furnish certificates to those who have not registered prior to that date and who wish to vote in the primary. With a certificate, obtained even on March 2S, there will be no difficulty in being able to vote.
 Another question that has arisen in several quarters pertains to the re- gently enacted statute, regarding par tisan primary voting. It will be re- membered that two years ago there was considerable agitation, especially in Democratic ranks. over the suppo- sition that many Republicans entered

FL PASO, March 22.-Gen. George Bell, Jr., tonight applied the censor ship to news dispatches over conner cial wires out of El Paso, which he said were of an 'incindiary character"
 Gen. Bell said tha: he did not in- tend to have information of ''prepara- tions" he was making, given out in advance of their execution. The gen. eral was Investigating the report that the Carranza garrison at JuareZ, across the river from Fl Paso, had de- serted to the Villa cause.
 Later, on the report of Lieut.. Lewis of the Provost Guard. that outwardly all was peaceful in Juarez. the cen sOrship was lifted on all except one dispatch which was ordered held. This dispatch, Gen Bell said. greatly exaggerated the ordinary precautions he was taking and would have been certain 'to precipitate trouble"
 Gen. Bell has issued orders to the commercial telegraph companies io submit to the military authorities here after all dispatches dealing with the defense Of El Paso.

SAN ANTONIO WORRIED

SAN ANTONIO, March 22.-The re. port that General Herrera. commando l ing 2O00 men al Chihuahua. had a. l ligned himself with Francisco Villa against the United States, was Ieceiv. , ed with grave concern by General Funston and his staff The long inter vals between General Pershing's re- ports are had. keyed up the tension a bit, although General Funston and his chief-Of-staff continued to profess the belief that all was we'll with the troops below Casas Grandes but the report from Chihuahua made significant any anxiety that might have been felt con- corning General Pershings operations. Officially and unofficially the opinion entertained here was that if Herera has joined Villa the international sit uation might be made so complicated that the pursuit of Villa would be re- garded as incidental
 Consul Beltran of CarranZais govern ment received no report of the report ed revclt of Herrera and he was in- clined to laugh at it as a border ru- nor" According to the version here Herrera. when removed from com mand. had immediately taken steps to alienate his garrison.
 That Carranza has enough loyal troops in northern Mexico to drive him from the City of Chihuahua if he attempts to hold the place. was be- lieved by military men here. but it was feared that the occupation of Chi huahua was not his plan. Observers here see possible connection with his plan in the interruption of communi- cation between Casas GFandes and JuareZ yesterday.
Bisbee daily review., 1916-03-23

The report marks an important de- velopment in the American campaign Ito capture Villa. according to expert enced observers of Mexican military affairs. It is pointed out that ;he re- ported renunciation of the Carranza standard by Herrera is the first 10 be made by an important military leader of the de factO government since the American troops crossed the interna- tional line a week ago today.
 The possible defection of other Car ranza leaders who have been reported wavering in their loyalty to the govern ment of the First Chief was food for much discussion.
 No reports were received as to the arms and equipment of the Herrera command. but it is pointed out, he can cause the American expedition much trouble by pursuing tactics of guerilla warfare in a country with which his troops are thoroughly familiar. and in which it is believed they have the sym pathy of the people.
 General Herrera was military sOver- nor of Chihuahua at the time of the massacre of IS Americans al Santa Ysabel several weeks ago. lt was re- ported that CarranZa relieved him of his command because of drunkenness several weeks ago.

CAMPAIGN OF HARpsHIps

of air and the dust hung over the road like a curtain. The alkali got into our eyes and down our throats It sifted into our shoes and through our clothing. The sun bored down into our skulls We put wet hand kerchiefs into our hats but it didn't help much. Most of the fellows rode along with their eyes shut to keep out the dust and the glare. Many of the men were half blind by nOOn-
 My eyes began to itch soon around the edges Then they felt as big as camp kettles and everything got dark. You could feel the blood beat ing the back of your eyeballs. You should have seen the faces of the men after an hour or two.
 ''The dust settled on the sweat and then the sweat would run down ieav- ing a little furrow. Some of them looked like painted Indians
 When We got TO Las PalOmas. we went right through the streets. There was not a soul in the whole town. It was weird We heard a flock of ducks quacking and saw a couple of goats but not a human being. At the next town. BOca Grande. there were three peons sitting in the sun. Only you expect q grave to be silent but when a. town is silent that way it is funny.
 Just outside of BOca Grande We found the body of a COW boy who had been killed by Villa on his way 10 Columbus. The body lay about twen- ty feet from the road They had tortured him and his hands were burn ed to a crisp. We did not have time to bury the poor fellow.

 Later some of the Sixteenth tried to bury him. The ground was too hard so they just piled rocks on the body
