CURTAIN FALLS ON
NUDES in ATLANTA
PICTURES MUST BE FREE OF
PROLONGED LOVE SCENES
MOVIE CENsORs so RULE

ATLANTA, Ga.-Atlantians are
going to be protected in the matter
of clean and wholesome moving pic
lures, if the local board of review
OF motion pictures has anything to
do with it. According to a booklet,
just issued by the board, no longer
will they allow pictures in Atlanta
movie houses showing scantily clad
women in lingerie displays.
Only Dramatic Features Allowed.
But this is just one of the features
upon which ban has been placed
by the local board of review. Pro-
longed and passionate love scenes
must be omitted, although the board
recognizes a distinction between ex-
pressions of affection and sensuality.
On the matter of insufficient cloth
ing for women, tights and too much
decollette gowns, the board is verv
emphatic. Yet it does not altogether
prohibit the woman wearing no
clothes at all, provided the film was
passed by the national board of CEN
sorship prior to January, 1917. Any
picture, however, after that date
showing the nude female will be
barred by the Atlanta board
PROLONGED Love Scenes Tabooed.
In portraying the use of drugs,
the board will allow "only those
scenes of the origin, progress and ac-
complishments which are dramatical-
ly necessary to point the moral" 1t
will critically scan any suggestion
of easy methods of obtaining drugs"
Barroom drinking and drunkenness
should not be portrayed, the booklet
goes on to say, except when neces-
sary. Scenes of women smoking and
drinking will get an o. K. only when
they are shown in surroundings
where such is considered proper.
The so-called "white-slave" picture
is banned altogether. Underworld
scenes and debauches are not approx
ed by the board, and the only justi-
fication for the portrayal in motion
pictures of the social evil, SAYS the
board, is that the scenes shall be ed
ucational.

hington.-Immediate legislation
to bring the crews Of transports, mine
layers and other army vessels into the
military service is recommended
urgently by Quartermaster General
Sharpe In his annual report made pub
nc. Continual difficulties with civil
ian crews are described with the con-
ciusion that grave danger can be avert
ed only by making officers and men
subject to military discipline. The
report adds a new element to the con-
troversy over the manning Of ships
carrying troops and supplies to Eu-
rope. A proposal to have all Amer
lean overseas merchant craft manned
by naval reserves has been neglected
By the Shipping Board, which recent
II advised that the navy would oper-
ate troop ships and vessels carrying
solely military supplies, but that all
others would retain their merchant
crews. General Sharpe probably will
appear as a witness in the Senate Mil
hary Committee investigation of army
Var preparations, and his testimony,
with its proposal OF still another plan,
may result in a general airing of the
subject before the committee.

coMards Are Rare.

Many a man is mentally unified to
stand the strain of war. In ordinary
civil life he would be able to do his
duties successfully, but under the
stress of modern warfare he would col
lapse. Considered coward he would
not in reality be responsible for his
actions. In order to weed out men
who are unfit for the work Of the war
n unit of 80 beds will be attached to
each base hospital in the training
camps. The men assigned to these
beds will be those accused of coward
ice by their mates. They will be UNI
der the watchful eyes of physicians
trained to detect signs Of mental
weakness. Those who show such signs
will be rejected. This will save many
men from severe punishment for cow
ardice and weed out the untit.-Popu-

WAR SECRETARY
IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR DELAY IN TURNING OUT
ARMS FOR AMERICAN ARMY,
SAYS cRoZIER.
Secretary Baker Declares Supplies
For Training Camps Are Ade-
quate For All Purposes.

Washington.-Ne D. Baker,
Secretary of War, replied to Major
General William Crozier, Chief of Ord
nance, who placed upon the Secretary
of War responsibility for the shortage
in machine guns experienced by the
American army. The Secretary made
no attempt to excuse entirely the de-
lays that have occurred, but declared
the situation is now much improved.
Pending the outcome OF the inquiry
into the War Department affairs, the
Senate probably will refrain from con-
firming the denomination of General
Crozier as Chief of Ordnance. His re-
nomination was sent to the Senate by
President Wilson while the General
was being grilled by the Senate Mill
tary Affairs Committee on shortage
of ordnance equipment generally.
The action of General Crozier IN
saddling the responsibility on Secre-
tary Baker was a spectacular climax
in the hearing before the, Senate Com
nittee. 1t came thus:
Senator Chamberlain: Il am not
satisfied with your explanation of the
delay in getting the machine guns"
General Crozier: II am not salts
fed myself"
Senator Chamberlain: who is re-
sponsible?"
General Crozier: THE Secretary OF
War. The responsibility is with him.
1t had to be upon some one, and he
is responsible for the machine-gun
tests. The program was not that of
the Ordnance Department" Declar'
ing that he could not go into details
in public, Secretary Baker insisted
that the supply of small arms, ma
chine guns, machine rifles and can
non will be adequate for the men oy
the time they reach France.
He further intimated that the sup
plies are adequate at the training
camps for training purposes.

Percy was in an uEgraciOus mood.
The car was packed, and three ladies'
who imagined they had right to his
seat glared at him in an obvious, dis
approving sort of fashion. Still Percy
stuck to his seat as though he were
glued to it, and pretended to be ab-
sorbed in his newspaper.
"Why should get up?" he thought
ungallantly.
But at last he was unable to stand
the indignant glaring longer. He rose
and observed:
"Will the oldest Of you ladies honor
me by accepting my seat?
The honor was not accepted-and
Percy sat down.

II KILLED IN BIG EXPLOSION
OF West Virginia Mine Which Was
Pronounced Safe An Hour
Before Blast.

BiuefieId. w. Va.-Seventeen men
were killed in an explosion at Susan
ma, Mcdowell county, in the mine
owned by the Yukon Pocahontas Coal
Co. All the men were repairing the
track in the mine and had just started
cut when the explosion occurred. 1t
vas purely a local explosion caused,
It is presumed, by the accumulation OF
a pocket of gas at that particular spot,
and the repair men going to the spot
ignited the gas by the lamps they car
ried. The mine had been inspected an
hour before by State Mine Inspector,
who pronounced it safe. The explo'
sion occurred about one mile within
the mine and rescue parties were held
back by the gas forming after the ex.
plosion, but the last Of the bodies was
brought out of the mine.

Great Damage.

Columbus, O.-Reality of I. W. w.
activities were brought home to Ohio
in three reports of arson sabotage
which came to the State Fire Mar
shal's office. In all three instances the
attack was on coal mines, where sus-
pension of work will be destructive.
Two of the fires were at mines near
Wellston, Jackson county. The fires
burned down entire tipples, suspend
ing work at the mines. A third re-
port, less definite in character as 10
damage done, came from Leetonia,
Mahoning county. The fires near
Wellston occurred as the men were
leaving the mines.

scribed as designed to be ready for

seems calculated not so much toward
checking any imminent activities by
the Teutons as in preparation for a
campaign of far longer duration. The
Italian contingents now under arms
are officially estimated to be 100000.
Besides these, 100000 previously re-

called on to submit themselves to re-

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
WashIngton.-Big business interests
of Germany are losing their faith in
the war. Dispatches to the State De-
partment from neutral sources in Eu-
rope declare the commercial magnates
who were firmly allied with the mill
tary leaders at the outset of the con-
flict are becoming increasingly wor-
ried over the outlook, and are begin
ming to prod the statesmen to in
crease their efforts for peace. The
fear is being expressed more or less
openly in German business quarters, it
is said, that Germany will never be
able to regain the trade she has lost.
Particular concern, it is set forth, is
manifested over the steady march OF
South and Central American countries
toward the ranks of the Kaiser's enc
mics. 1t was in these countries, de-
partment officials declare, that German
business efficiency had built up most
elaborate trade machinery and connec-
tions. It was in this direction that
German exporters, before the outbreak
of the war, looked for the biggest trade
advances of the future. The State
Department advices, officials says, in
dicated the commercial barons Of Ber-
lin. Hamburg and other Geman cities,
have lost faith in the idea that Ger
many. through military victory, is 60
ing to be able to restore Germany's
trade. There is a growing movement
among business, the dispatches say,
in favor of an early peace that will en-.
able them to save what they can from
the wreckage.

WILL BE MORE CONsIDERATE
Austrians Who Behave Themselves
viii Not Be MoIested BY
the Government.

Washington.-Presid Wilson, in
proclaiming q state of war with Aus
tria-Hungary, specified that subjects
of that empire who are in the United
States shall receive far different treat
ment than that specified for subjects
of Germany. Austro-Hungarians will
suffer few restrictions as result OF
the war and will be free to live anG
travel anywhere in this country. They
will not be allowed to leave the Uni
ted States without permission, and
those suspected of being dangerously
disloyal may be interned. They need
not register with police or postoftice
officials, as Germans will be required
to do shortly, and are not barred from
the 1O0-yard zones about piers, docks
and warehouses closed to Germans,
and are not required TO leave the Dis
triCt of Columbia.
The Presidents motive in drawing
distinction between Germans and Aus
trians was described as twofold.
First. 1t was realized that the sym
pathy of Hungarians, Roumanians,
Poles, Serbians, CzeChs, Slovacs and
other immigrants from the AustroHun,
garian Empire generally is not with
the mother country in the war, and
they have not been guilty of the null
tiform campaign of violence practiced
under the German war system.
Secondly, such large proportion
of laborers in munition and steel
plants and coal mines consists OF
Austrian subjects that it was found
practically impossible to administer
against them the rigid regulations inn
posed on the Germans, who are halt
as numerous and more individualistic.

New Rochelle, N. Y.-Every saloon
in New Rochelle was closed in compli'

man. Members of the Home Defense
