OFFERS COMPROMISE
MOVIE CENSOR BILL
TOWner Would Put Films on
Same Basis as Books and
Newspapers.

A compromise bill TO settle the con-
troversy between motion picture in
terests and reformers regarding the es-
tablishment OF Federal board Of
censorship for the movies" has been
introduced by CONGRESSMAN Towner Of
Iowa. a Republican member of the
House Committee on Education. which
recently closed hearings on the Hughes
bill.
That measure would establish a Fed
9ral board to censor all motion picture
films. but Mr. Towner proposes as a
substitute a bill that would put motion
pictures handled in interstate commerce
on the same plane as traffic in books.
newspapers periodicals. and photo
graphs.
Under the Towner bill any motion pic
ture producer sending an immoral mic
tur0 from one state to another could be
prosecuted just as one who sends inn
proper matter through the mails.
Moving picture men who opposed the
drastic provisions Of the Hughes bill
indicated that they would have no OBJ
lection to a measure such as Mr..
Towner offered. The ToWner bill was
referred to the Judiciary Committee,
anA meanwhile the Education Commit
tee will consider amendments to the
Hughes measure which is unlikely to be
reported in its original form

Purpose Of Trip on MayfIoWer Is
to Enable Him to Prepare
Speeches.
POLITICIANS SHOW INTEREST
Expect to Obtain From Effect
Line.Up Of Situation for
Campaign.

President Wilson plans to use the
obsery alton platform Of his private
car as q speaker5s rostrum during his
speakotng tour in the middle West.
Although his itinerary calls for only
seven set speeches, the President eN-
poets to make numerous BRIEF talks to
station crowds along the route, and
VIII speak from his private car.
Mrs. Wilson, who Is spending today
and tomorrow with the President on
the Mayflower in the lower oPtomac
and the Chesapeake Bay. will accom-
pany Mr.. Wilson. 1t will he her first
opportunity to see him in campaign
trim.
Preparing His Speeches.
The purpose Of tho trip on the May
flower is to enable the President to
prepare his speeches in advance, a
thing which he has seldom done be-
fore. Because Of the care he is talk
ing. it is thought probable that the
trip will not bring out any phrases
such as too proud to fight"
In addition TO Mrs. wilson. the Pres
ident will be accompanied by his ply
slcian, DIR. Carry T. GraySon, u. s. N !;
his stenogra pher, and, perhaps, Secre-
tar Tumulty, although the presence of
the latter Will depend on the condition
at the time Of Mrs. Tumulty, who was
operated on today. Also in the party
will be an augmented corps OF Secret
Service men and large corps OF news
paper writers.
The tour will begin on Jan. q, the
qeT following the Presidents trip to
New York, where he will make two
speeches on national defense. The first
stop after leaving WASHINGTON will be

Politicians Keenly Interested.
In addition to bringing the Presi-
dent before the country in the frst
general tour he has made since he
became President, the trip will serve
to introduce Mrs. Wilson to the peo-
pie of the Middle West Reports
dicate that she will be given a royal
reception.
Politicians of all parties are await
ing the outcome of the trip with keen
est interest. Arranged for the avow-
ed purpose of appealing to the public
in behalf of he Administrations ma
tional defense program, the tour will
be availed of also as a means OF pre-
senting the Presidents defense of his
Mexican policy.
Against the national defense pro-
gram, upon which the President has
concentrated every effort, the Middle
West has been apathetic or hostile
AEainst the Mexican policy it has
been outspoken.
From the effect which the Presi-
dent is able to produce on the forth
coming trip. politicians expect to OBJ
tain a fairly accurate lineup Of the
situation with respect to the policies
and candidates of all three parties in
the 1915 campaign.

Size Of Army.

Colonel Roosevelt believes the United
States army should consist OF 25O.onO
regulars. Relatively to the nation this
army would be no larger than the New
York police force is relatively to the
city Of New York Mr. Roosevelt points
out. He continued:
"On paper our present strength IL
100000, and we have in the United States
mobile army OF only 5000 men. We
need 1000 more men adequately to man
our coast defenses at home, and 5000
additional adequately TO man those
abroad, We need 5000 additional men
TO provide an adequate mobile army for
meeting an attack on our overseas pos
sessions. At home we should have q
mobile army Of 10000 men. in order to
guarantee US against having New York
or San FranciBco at once seiEed by any
biz military nation which vent to war
with uS. < quarter OF a million in the
regular army i6 the minimum that will
insure our safety from sudden attack.
In addition we must provide backing
Tor this regular army. Provide . real
reserve of enlisted men. Provide az
many officers, active and reserve taken
together, as will enable us 10 officer q
