MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.


George o.. Conan in q screen adap-
tation of his own sensational stage hit
Seven Keys to Bsldpate. During
its sensational presentation on the
theatrical stage "Seyen Keys TO Bald
pate" amazed even the most blsse
critics of the drama for its utter dis
regard Of all accepted rules and regu-
lations of the demands of successful
Offering of the theater. Never in the
annals of theatricals had a play so
completely bewildered its audience and
never before had the critics admitted
this fact with such frank commenda-
tion. Heralded as mystery farce"
it offers q combination Of novel situa-
tions and surprises that keeps the
audience guessing from beginning to
end. Just when the course of the
story seems clear, the clever author
gives it twist that discloses an en-
appears to be q farce Of extreme
humor when suddenly it takes on
dramatic aspect that qn'ckens the
heartbeat, ending finally with COM
plete surprise that leaves the audience
laughing not only at the play but at
itself as well.
George Washington Magee, novel;
list, makes wager with the owner of
Baldpate Inn that he can write
story in twenty-four hours Seeking
seclusion, Magee borrows the key to
Baldpste, a summer hotel now locked
up for the winter, and with his type
writer retires to an upper room of the
deserted hostelry to write his story.
There enters the hotel Office one John
Bland, an employee of street-railwsy
magnate. who places 5000, 200 in The
hotel safe-a bride to be called for la.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened By Annapolis Experience,

Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders. You should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat. take things easier and use
a reliable kidney tonic. There no
other medicine so we'll recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Annapolis
people rely on them. Here's one of
the many statements from Annapolis
people.
Mrs. v. Hodson. 20 Holland st. An
napolis, says: 1.-TWO years ago had
terrible pains in the small of my back
and the attacks were so severe that
was confined to bed for a month,
hardly able to move. The bottom of
my feet were badly swollen and my
sight was so blurred / could hardly
read. The kidney secretions gave me
no end of annoyance too and l was
more tired in the morning than when
| went to sleep. Reading of Doan's
Kidney Pills got box at Green's

quick relief and two boxes cured me. :"

AT the Republic Tomorrow.

Local playsoers will have their first
opportunity to see Sir John Hare, Eng
lands most celebrated character actor.
when Caste" the Greater Vitsgrsph
Blue Ribbon feature is presented at
the Republic Theatre tomorrow. Also
this marks the first and only time that
the actor.knight ever appeared before
q motion picture camera.
So long has Sir John played the part
of Eccles, the fun-loving old reprobate
in Caste" the character has become
one of the classics of the stage. and in
deciding to adapt the famous play to
the screen the Vitagraph compsny de-
termined to get him for the part. Sir
John, who ranks with Irving, Tree,
Barrett and the other great artists
VIII, have made England's stage his
tory, was loathe at first to appear in
films. He had the same prejudice
against motion pictures that producers
have had to overcome whenever they
first suggested to great stars OF the
legitimate stage that they pose for the
screen
However it was pointed out TO Sir
John that he owed it to posterity and
the stage to have his art perperusled
and he agreed to make the picture.
The result is that American audiences
now have for the first time to see one
of the greatest actors who ever lived.

John in the picture.

What the Navy is Doing.
lFrom the New York Times.


Secretary Daniels spoke encourag-
ing words at the ceremony on the
site of the governments armor plate
works at Charleston, W. Va. 1t is
perfectly true that lin preparing for
a terrible war the navy is taking the
surest means to bring about an early
and effective peace" Assurance from
Mr. Daniels that our navy is making
ready for terrible war, therefore, is
most gratifying. Our navy should be
thus prepared and should remain so
after the war. An unprepared navy is
of small account. A navy with half
its ships lying in docks, "out of COM
mission" is no protection. The coun-
try understands now that all the war
ships and auxillaries are in commits
sion and well manned, that its equip
ment is not defective. that prepare
tions have been made for an unfail-
ing supply of ammunition. More than
this It does not care to know. Naval
plans and the movements of ships, ne
cessarily, are kept secret when the
nation is at war.
Washington. however, has disclos-
ed the fact that naval vessels are con-
voying merchant ships on the Allan
tic and that the loss of ships thus con-
voyed has been very small. The Ger
man submarine has not been con-
quered. it still is the worst menace
commerce has ever known, but its
ravages have been checked. The
threat that the Germans intend to in
crease the fury of their submarine
campaign is therefore not so alarm
ing as it might be. AS for the efforts
to find means to combat the sub
marine, it is known that they con-
tinue. and there is assurance that our
naval vessels and seaplanes have
actually destroyed submarines. though
nobody can say how many. Bombs
which explode under water have been
dropped. and it is confidently believed
that some of these have destroyed
submarines But il is divulged that
the undersea captains have learned
trick of making their boat exude
quantities of oil and of scattering
make-believe wreckage to deceive
their pursuers. That oil might be
sauirted from submerged boat is
understandable. but it is difficult to
see how the "wreckage" could be
floated after submerging. The inven-
ton of a depth bomb, however, is an
important advance Such bombs have
been talked about since the submarine
activities began. and the employment
of them has been reported, without
exclamation or verifcation. Now we
know that they exist and they VIII
certainly make the submarines WORK
OF destruction harder. though they
may not stop it.
our Navy Department places strong
reliance ON the destroyer Next year
our feet of warships of this class
win be as large as any nations, and
when the present plans are carried
out we shall have more destroyers
than any other nation. American de-
stroyers have long been active in the
North Sea. Doubtless their effective
ness there in the protection of COM
merce has convinced the department
that we cannot have too many Ct
them.

RED CROSS TO PROVIDE
FOR DEPENDENTS
Families OF Fighting Men Must
Not Suffer.
CONGRESS TO AID
Memorandum of Secretary McAdOo
Explains Operation Of Proposed
Legislation.

Ii is matter of importance TO the
Red Cross that, at the instance OF
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo, a
comprehensive measure providing for
the financial assistance of the families
OF American soldiers and sailors has
been introduced III Congress
Henry p. Dawson. Chairman, on be-
half of the Red Cross War Council
recently authorized the following:
obviously the task of providing for
the financial assistance OF the fami-
lies of our soldiers and sailors is so
large that the government alone can
assume it, In no other way can the
burden be discharged fairly and as
matter of right rather than charity
No voluntary organization, or organi-
cations. could adequately cope with a
duty of such magnitude
The bill, which was introduced. III
both Houses of Congress simultane-
ously, represents a very careful study
of the whole problem of possible de-
tendency as a result of the war and
a conscientious estimate of the gov
ernments recognition of its respon-
sibility.
AS drawn, the bill is an amendment
to the Act establishing the Bureau Of
War Risk Insurance and adds TO the
functions of this bureau the admins
tration of family allowances and al
lotments to dependents, of compensa.
ton for death or disability, and of
life insurance for men in the military
or naval service
In a memorandum, Secretary Nc
Adoo explains the operation of the
proposed legislation.
81 realize" says the Secretary of
the Treasury, that tht cost involved
in the PRONUNCIATION of such a compre-
hensive plan is a most important fac
tor to be considered Actuarial esti-
mates were submitted TO me. These
estimates are necessarily of a tenta-
tive character, owing to the fact that
il is impossible to secure accurate
data upon which to base calculations
After careful consideration of these
estimates, and after consultation with
Captain S. H. Wolfe. % the War De-
partment. one of the leading actua-
ries of the country, have reached the
conclusion that if the bill is promptly
enacted into law the total expenditure
for the first and second years will be
as follows:

1.-The bill is intended to meet those
essential and fundamental principles
of justice which you have so much at
heart It's main purpose is to grant
a reasonable government indemnity
against the losses and risks incurred
in the discharge of a patriotic duty
and in the performance of an extra
ordinarily hazardous service to which
the government has called and forced
the citizens 1t provides not only for
the man but for his family
1T aims to accomplish these ends
by granting a reasonable measure of
indemnity against risk of loss: % of
support of the bread-winner; (2) of
life and limb; go of present insur-
ability at ordinary rates.
1.-THE risk of dependency, in the
case of an enlisted mans family, is
Unidentified against by allotment of
part of the pay of the enlisted men,
supplemented by family allowance
granted and paid by the government"
This system, as explained, means
that the enlisted men shares with the
government in providing for the f.
naneial needs of his family. The
compulsory allotments from the en-
listed mans pay must equal the fam
lily allowance from the government,
with a minimum. however, of SIS
monthly, and maximum of one-half
pay. There is a scale of allowances
determined by the size of the de-
pendent family, so that the monthly
family allowance ranges from S. to
$50. according TO the number of de-
pendents.
Secretary McAdoo illustrates the
working of the system in the follow
ing example, a private gets s33 a
month for service abroad. If he has
wife and two children he must al
lot to them at least SIS out of his
pay. The government supplements
this by giving the family an allowance
of $3.50 This family's minimum
monthly income, therefore, would be
s47. The father can allot as much
more as he pleases. If there is
another child, the government will al
low IS additional If the man should
have a father or mother actually de-
pendent upon him, he can secure an
allotment of SO a month from the
government for the parent by allot-
ing So more of his pay Thus. the pTi-
vate with a wife. three children, and
mother actually dependent upon him,
by giving $40 out of his S3S a month
would get from the government S44-5o
a month-giving the family an income
of $3.50. and still leaving the man
S13 per month for spending money
If there are more children, or if there
is also a dependent father, the gov
eminent would give up TO SIS in all
