PARENTS APARTMENT
Lawyer Issues Purported State
ment by Young Woman De-
nying Kidnapping
SAYS SHE LEFT HUSBAND
Brewers Sons Friend Hints Young
Couple Are to Be Reunited,
Despite Parents

The Bergner-Bew case, in which Jean
Bergner Bew, daughter OF the millionaire
brewer and wife Of r. Berton Bew, wealthy
Atlantic City youth. is the principal figure
is rapidly developing into mystery that
brings forth the question: What's next?'
Franz Ehrlich. attorney for Gustavus w
Bergner. father of the bride, issued pur-
ported statement by Mrs. Bew this after
noon in which the young woman declared
she went back to her fathers apartment at
the Ritz-Carton yesterday OF her own ac-
cord.
The statement says:
"Stories published are all absurd. There
has been no kidnapping. I am acting on
my own free will and ] returned to my
parents home alone They knew nothing
Of my intentions until walked into their
apartment"
That was all Of that statement but mean

The question, Where is she?" IL more

mystery. is in the Ritz--at least she was
there late this afternoon
Apparently adding strength to the state
ment attributed TO young Mrs. Bew that she
went to her parents apartments Of her own
will. the fact that she is in the hotel also
knocks out assertions of Bew's friends that
his bride had eloped again and rejoined
him.
Some of Bew's friends started a rumor
that the couple would meet later this after
noon
Il can't say anything definite" said one
Of the men who has known the boy since

girl who later became his wife. But I will

stated with equal positiveness by friends

NAVAL SURGEON RAPS
DISCOURTESY TO SAILORS
Indignant That Vaudeville Manage
ment Refused Admission
to Tars

The popular opinion in regard to sailors
was condemned by Surgeon Robert A.
Bachman, stationed at the Naval Home,
who spoke before the Rotary Club today.
IF "a crowd of college students broke
up things in community" said Doctor
Bachman. 'it would not be noticed. But
when sailors get loose and start trouble
there is popular outcry."
Doctor Bachman expressed great indigna-
ton that two sailors were refused admis-
sion on the lower floor of popular vaude-
willie theatre because they were in uni
form.
The speaker had something to say of the
patriotism that does nothing but stand up
when the national anthem is played and
wave the flag.
"A patriot said Doctor Bachman. is a
man who wants to do something for his
country. politician is one who wants his
country to do something for him."

The country views general conditions in
the war as unfavorabe to the Allies.

PRODUCTION OF WAR MATER, 4

re.l4ed the imperious need OF an in

From his assertions, it appears that
The French War Department has es-
timated before the war that it would
be necessary for state arsenals to pro-
duce not more than 10000 shells a
day. In the belief that the conflict
would be short, no provisions however
was made for the production of ex-
p~losives during the hostjlities.
When it was discovered, during the
battle of the Marine, that this esti-
mate was insufficient, Alexander NIL
lerand, then Minister of War, sum-
moned to Bordeaux the heads of all
manufacturing establishments avail
able and organized them into groups
for the rapid production Of 3-inch
shells.
Neither the government nor the
manufacturers had then any basis for
figuring the costs. The exceptional
conditions and the great need Of im-
mediately replenishing the supply, MI.
Thomas said, accounted fer The aonor-
NAL prices and for the fabulous prof

Three-inch shells at that time cost the
government fifteen francs each. To-
day they are purchased at prices rang

GAME WARDEN AFTER
LAWLESS HUNTERS

EBebE
Columbia, March 5.-The situation
in regard to the hunting preserves
maintained by northerners in the low
er section of the State seems to be
reaching an acute stage.
Chief Game IWarde1 Alfred A. Rich
ardson is in receipt Of telegram
from Mr.. r. T. Wilson, wealthy
northerner, who spends a great deal
of his time in Beaufort county, IN
which Mr.. Wilson states:
Three deer killed on our place SAT-
urday. Send warden here at once and
you will likely find yension in posses
sion of the offenders and can fine FOR
killing deer out of season. They were
detected in the act and shots were e1-
changed with our warden"
The telegram from Mr.. Wilson came
from Hardeville, Beaufort county,
near which Mr.. wilson's big preserve
is located. It reaches over into Jasper
county and almost adjoins the Okee-
tee lands, upon which the woods rider
was killed during last December, IA
connection with which killing two
men were convicted in Jasper county
last week of murder and sentenced to
electrocution on April 6. AS stated in
The Charleston American this morn
ing, an appeal has been taken in that
case.
The preserve owned by Mr.. Wilson
contains between 10000 and 4o,0oS
acres, and is known as Palmetto
Bluffs" 1t is on the edge Of Beau
fort county, near the Jasper line.
Chief Game Warden Richardson sent
J. 3. Thackston, a special deputy from
his Office, to investigate the matter
and to make report.
It is stated that mir. Wilson, the
owner Of the preserve, is brother
in-law of Mr.. Gillette Of safety razor
fame.
"By our warden in his telegram"
it was stated at the office of the CHIEF
game warden today, "Mr Wilson evil
dently means his watchman."
This is the third time Mr.. Wilson
has called upon the chief game war
dens department for help. Some time
ago his wire fences were cut to pieces,
rolled up and carried away. Prior to
that his gamekeeper had been as
saulted. In that particular instance
the alleged assailants were arrested
and bound over to the circuit court
and are now held for trial.
Hon. R. p Searson, Jr., of Barn
we'll, went to Hardeeville with Spec
ial Deputy Thackston. Mr.. Searson Is
attorney for Mr.. Wilson.

When CIVILIZATION is shown to the

Of the things that have been printed
about the spectacle, can have COM
pletely prepared them. In most cases
where the writer is dealing with any
form of entertainment, be 1t opera,
play or motion picture, photo-play

give another person an idea in COM
paratively few words, as to the nature
of the theme OF most OF these things
your essential story can be expressed
in few paragraphs at most.
Not so in this million-dollar cinema
spectacle "Ciyilization,' upon which,
since its original presentation in New
York in June last, scores of critics,
press agents and other writer's have
turned their hands, without having
printed anything which is complete
and explicit enough to tell the reader
what it is all about.
The fact is, it is such a big theme,
handled in such way, that, to do
it Justice you would have to write
very big book indeed. Supposing
that YOU were asked to condense tfe
history and teachings of the Bible in
to a pulpit discourse, which would
take two hours in the delivery. This
would be a hard task, of course-you
might say an impossible one. Yet
marvellous. though it may seem to be
tsld, Mr.. Ince, the producer OF this
picture gives you the impression
when you have seen it, that he is TAX
ing YOU over the whole history since
the time of Adam, so vast, so penetrat-
ing. so comprehensive is his vision.
1t is a world story; world theme.
In a way, you are looking at the fall
Of man as told by Milton and his re-
demption as also treated by the same
great poet.
All these great episodes are given a
background of the present time, with
the great European war in progress.
The picture has many pastoral
scenes and incidents Of surprising
loveliness and strong love interesr.
civilization has the advantages
of being interpreted by forty thous-
and actors and actresses, headed by 4
cast of principals which includes:
Herschel Mayall, Enid Markey, How

beauties Of the story and apprecia-
