At Loew's Bijou

The bill at Loews Bijou for the first half of the week presents a dfversi- fled programme of high-class attrac- lions that fairly and squarely earned the enthusiastic reception given each number by the capacity audiences last night. There is not a drag in the pro gramme for every number is fast and snappy and gathered many hearty laughs and generous applause
 Marie La Varre, reigning beauty on Broadway, and former musical comedy star, is the topliner. She has lost none of her charm since she cast her lot in vaudeville for she fairly captivated the audience last night by her talent and personality, aided by we'll select ed song hits and stunning gowns.
 Another hit was the offering of Chauncey Monroe and company in a sketch presenting the old idea of a hard matchmaker getting caught in the tolls he set for another. The ve hicle has many new angles and witty lines that were well put over by the principal.
 Harry Sydell, a nut comedian with Caruso voice. and, by the way his singing was much better than his wit, proved highly entertaining, while the zaras, in a comedy Juggling and aero batic act, opened the bill in excellent style.
 The picture features are well up to the Bijou standard, which means the best of the screen offerings. The all :. star photoplay, MT Opp" is of ab- sorbing interest. Loew's current events, depicting scenes at home and abroad are of timely interest. Mutt and Jeff in Fisheresque frolcs and new come dies complete the enjoyable bill

Washington. August 20.-Represen- | tatives of the New York office and sugar exchange conferred with Her bert Hoover. the food administrator, today on the stabifization of sugar prices in the United States. Sugar fu- ture dealings were stopped by the ex- change last week at MT. Hoover.s re- quest after prices had mounted to
 unusually high levels. Beet sugar producers also saw MT. Hoover and discussed the prices at which the million tons of beet sugar to be produced between now and the
 end of the year shall be marketed The prices contemplated range from $6.75 to $7.50 a hundred. or from | to 1k cents under present quotations No settlement, however, was reached Arrangements were completed by the council of national defense today
 for the purchase of 100000 tons of
 sugar for the army and navy at

almost forgotten the necessity of eating a certain amount of food that is valuable mainly because 1t gives bulk. Bran is one of the foods that Is used largely because of it's bulk. It is an economical food be- cause it is made from parts of the wheat discarded in the making of white flour. Of course, it cannot often be used just by itself, but must be combined with other flour or meal to be palata ble.
 Bran may be served as a breakfast cereal in combinations with cornmeal. To prepare this mixture mix a cup of boiling water with a cup of cornmeal that has already been mixed smooth with half a cup of cold water. Then add half a teaspoonful of salt and three quarters of a cup of bran and cook either in the double boiler until it is thick or in the fireless cooker over night.
 Bran mullins may be made in many ways-indeed, you may substitute part bran for flour in an ordinary muffin re- cept. Here is a receipt that calls for two cups of bran to one of white flour Add to this half a teaspoon of salt. Mix to- gether a cup of thick sour milk and a half teaspoon of soda. Add to it we'll beaten egg and then mix with the bran. Drop this batter into buttered muffin tins and bake in hot oven.
 Bran mullins may be made without white flour and with the addition of cur rants or raisins. To prepare them add a cup of milk to a well-beaten egg two tablespoons of sugar and half teaspoon of salt. Beat well. then add two cups of bran sifted with four level teaspoons of baking powder Beat the batter until 1t Is full of bubbles, then add two table spoons of melted butter or other shorten ing and a scant cup of chopped raisins or entrants. This should form a stiff batter Drop 1t in spoonfuls in we'll creased muf- fin pans and bake in a hot oven.

At fhe Lyric

The Lyrics bill for the first half of the week presents a group of fascinating actors in features which exactly suit them Dancing, song, instrumental mu- sic, dialogue, short piaylet are includ- ed. Kubelik, the enchanting singing volinist, with his music and singing, is a leading captivating feature.
 The Pathe news pictures take no sec ondary place on the programme, because fore your eyes" and last night at the Lyric the pictures were cheered repeat edly' by the interested audience.
 Kubelik's violin music and that on the Hawaiian instrument he played, won the favor of the large audience, which repeatedly. His soft voice and violin music held all in fascination.
 Finn and Finn took the lead in toe dancing of the humorous sort, with black-face dialogue between dances Warren and Templeton, the dancing dry wit and bit of clever song and gave some improved dialogue. "The Broken Mirror" was the title of the playlet, laughable, light comedy, which would have been better if played in shorter time.
 The four human aeroplanes presen ted a more sensational act than theatre goers are accustomed to seeing. One thrill after another is given the audience by the flying acrobats. The act closed the excellent bill.

I. w. w. STRIKE WAS
 ALL A BLUFF" THE
 GOVERNMENT FINDS
Continued from Page One,

the Citizens Loyalty league of Bisbee, which on July 12 deported more than 1900 strikers and sympathizers were taken to task today by Governor Campbell in a statement. Governor Campbell recently made an investigation of the Warren dis trict troubles. Methods of deporting men without due process of law were declared by the governor to be without justiflca- tion, while the tactics alleged to have been adopted by members of the Indus trial Workers of the World were charac- terized as a "stench in the nostrils of de- cent Americans" The governors state ment was in the form of a letter to Sheriff Wheeler and County Attorney Ross of Cochise county and Mayor Brick son of Bisbee.
 Governor Campbell told the Cochisc county authorities that "henceforth I shall look to the officials of Cochise and all Arizona counties for cooperation in the enforcement of the laws. It will be disgraceful blot on the history of this state If we, the responsible officials. are obliged to admit that our proper func- tons for he administration of law and order have broken down and that martial law must be invoked"

MEXICO FAR FROM
 "BROkE," !" OPINION
 IN UNITED STATES
General Carranza, the Man Who Has Been 'Indepen- dent," Will Be Aided
 Financially

Washington, August 2o-After more than two years of pleading for fnan- cial assistance, the Mexican govern ment has been assured that American money can be obtained. It was learned today that the American government has finally conveyed the intimation to American bankers that it's faith in the Carranza government has grown to the extent that it feels justified in extend ing moral indorsement of loan
 Officials of the Mexican government have denied that any direct effort has been made to get a loan in the United States, but American bankers have been approached repeatedly with the suggestion that they finance the new government in that country, and a more direct effort was made many months ago in London. The London bankers refused to have anything to do with the project and the intimation came from the foreign office that it could not be countenanced.
 The American bankers were waiting for assurance of some sort from the state department that their investment would be safeguarded. The exact char acter of the assurance given them has not been revealed, but it is understood President Carranza will agree to re- ceiye advice as to expenditure of the loan and to a degree of supervision.
 Mexico will try to obtain at least $250 000 000 The Mexican Congress au- thorized the floating of $150,o00, 900 loan, and in addition to that $10O,000,- eco will be asked for the rehabilitation of the railways
 State department reports both from Ambassador Fletcher and from consuls continue to indicate a steady though slow increase in the strength of the Carranza government. With the eXcep- ton of few stretches of railway, the lines of communication are open and rebel activities have been materially reduced in the past six months.
 The most serious problems of the country appear to be economic. A part of the failure to revive business is at tributed here to government decrees that restrict the investment of capital although the larger influence is said to be due to disturbed political condi- tions.

 German militarism would ensIave the world. We shall have justice, independ- ence, liberty and enduring peace after a little while. But these aims are not possible by arbitration. We shall gain them only by fighting to the end"
 The envoys, who arrived here at 1 o'clock from Washington. visited Inde- pendence Hall after luncheon attend ed by Mayor Smith and several hun dred leading citizens. Later they vis- tied the Philadelphia navy yard and other places of interest. after which they were given a reception at the Bel gian relief headquarters, In the evening they were the guests of honor at din- ner in the Manufacturers club and left later in the night for New York.

PRIVATE HALL IS HELD IN CONNECTION
 WITH CAR SHOOTING

Montgomery, August 20.-(Special. )-Tel- egrams ordering many members of the
 new provisional National Guard regiment in from their last furloughs went out from headquarters Monday, indicat ting that the regiment will entran for the divisional training station at Mineola, Long Island during the next few days. More than 200 came in from Birming- ham late tonight.
 Officers refuse to say when the reyi
 ment will move and will decline to fur nish information until the regiment has entrained.
 Montgomery August 20-The detention of Private Joseph Hall, Company K, First Infantry, one of the men transferred to the new One Hundred and Sixty seventh regiment, for investigation as to his all legged connection with the shooting in a street car here Saturday night, was the most sensational development in the in- vestigation of that affair today. Four men were injured in the shooting, two of whom still are in the hospital in a pre-
 carious condition. Because of a street car strike being in progress, the shoot
 ing was charged to the strikers and their
 sympathizers, but developments later
 tended to indicate soldiers may have done the shooting in revenge against the mo-
 torman, one of the wounded men, for
 beating up soldiers on another line the
 night previous.
 When detained by military authorities today Private Hall first denied any knowl- edge of the shooting. Later it is stated.
 he admitted being in the vicinity of the trouble and a woman of the neighbor- hood has identified him as being the soldier she saw running from the direc- tion of the shooting and who told her there had been a row. No specific charge has been docketed against the soldier, however.
 Both sides in the strike remain firm and a very curtailed service is being provided by the company No strike- breakers have been imported The or ganized union men of the city tonight held silent parade through the prin- cipal streets of the city as a mark ot sympathy with the strikers Several hum dred men and women were in line.

ANNAPOLIS WORK
 KEEPS THE BOYS ON
 JUMP ALL THE TIME
Captain Eberle Has Sent 730 Midship. men to Sea to Get Some Practical
 Experience on Big Vessels

Annapolis, Md, August 25.-(Special. Capt. E. w. Eberle superintendent o1 the United States Naval academy here sent 790 midshipmen-future naval off cers--to sea the other day to get some practical experience.
 Today they're scattered among score or more of battleships, torpedo boat de stroyers and cruisers, shoveling coal swobbing decks, practicing with the gun. and doing exactly what thousands of en, listed men are doing.
 It s an illustration of the new democ. racy' that pervades the American navy
 The first essential in turning out a good officer is to ,instill In him an ap- preciation of the services of the men who will be under him. said Captain Eberle
 So carrying out Captain Eberle's the cries of democracy the midshipmen this summer will acquire first-handed, accur- ate knowledge as to just how hard 1t is to keep the furnaces aboard ship supplied with coal or just how much muscle it takes to keep the ship spick and span
 There's no royal road through the naval academy.
 Dads political pull may get the boy an appointment to Annapolis, but pull wealth and family connections count for nothing when it comes to going up against the stiff examinations
 Only rom 3S 10 40 per cent Of the ap- plicants pass the entrance examinations The rest have to go back home
 Once in the academy a boy must keen himself on edge. mentally, to stick in Six hundred and twenty-five boys were ad- mitted to the academy last October, but 103 of them failed in the February ex- aminations and were dropped from the rolls. Following the law or averages it is doubtful if 300 of the original 625 mem bers of the class will stick through to the finish.
 The public often asks how we turn out such fine specimens of manhood. D says Captain Eberle. Its done by giv- ing every young man individual atten- ton. We make physical chart of every man in the academy and once a month he is examined to see just how much each part of his body has developed If certain parts aren't coming along satis- factorily we prescribe exercises to remedy the defect.
 So careful are the authorities of the physical we'll being of the midshipmen that none is allowed even to smoke until his fourth year at the academy Use of alcoholic liquors in any form means in stant dismissal.
 Eleven months in every year the mid shipman is either studying or going through strenuous physical exercises Every September after he has been at the academy year. he can go home to visit his folk.

General Petain, Who Commands French,
 Comments Americans
fContinued from Page One,

'COntihucu IrOm rage Oneb camp late yesterday and it is reported that French airmen brought one of them down while it was endeavoring to re- turn home.
 Prior to the review General Petain be- slowed numerous decorations on the Chasseurs and also mingled with the French peasants, who had gathered on the reviewing grounds. Plating one small boy on the head General Petain asked him to what military class he belonged
 LONG TIME TO WATT
 Nineteen, twenty-three. my general, {" the boy answered.
 Then you will have long time to wait" the general remarked, laughing ly, and the boy saluted gravely.
 Several times during the day the French commander was presented with bouquets by small girls, each one of whom he kissed on either cheek. Late in the day General Pershing also re- ceived a bouquet, adopting the French custom, leaned far over and kissed the little girl on both her rosy cheeks and thanked her first in English and then in French.
 General Petain made a close inspec- ton of several of the American bat talions and seemed particularly inter- ested in the various items of their equip ment. He examined the kits of num- Der of soldiers in detail.
 The broad brimmed American cam paign hats also claimed a great deal of his attention. He took one of these from a soldiers head, weighed 1t in his hands and studied 1t for several min utes and then carefully replaced and ad- justed 1t on the Americans head, the soldier standing at rigid attention the whole time.
 This is very good, very good" said the general. Tt is especially fine for such sun as we have today"
 And for rain. too added General Pershing.
 They are fine young men, of splendid physique, intelligent and most satisfac- tory looking soldiers in every way" General Petain told several of the cap tains of companies, who repeated his words to their commands when the gen. eral had passed on his way.

One-Man-Car in Mobile Is
 Eliminated by Management

Mobile, August 20.-The one-man street car will not be operated in Mobile for the present, according to a statement made today by J. Howard Wilson, presi- dent of the Mobile Light and Railroad company. This was one of the grievances of the conductors and motormen in their demands submitted Saturday. The dis pute over wages is to be taken up at conference tomorrow.
 President Wilson said the company found the construction cost of the one man cars prohibitive. He declared 1t has been his intention to operate the new type on only the shorter lines and not on the trunk lines.
