Fox Film Makers Hold Up
a Train for Arts Sake
Pursue Train so Miles and Then Per

It is only because railroad trains are
not equipped with wireless that several
executive members of William Fox IS
June Caprice company were not jailed
in sFlintstone, Ca, as would-be train
robbers.
The scenario Of GA Child of the
World which was being filmed in that
state, required scene of train com
ing out of a tunnel. Tunnels around
Flintstone are many but trains rather
scarce.
Consequently when Director Adolf,
who was cruising around in his auto
hunting for train, spotted one he gave
chase.
At Last Train Yields.
After a pursuit of some so miles the
film men s machine at last ran up along
the train. Director Adolf outlined his
proposition to the conductor through q
/. megaphone.
7There's $25 for you if you back
3 your train into the next tunnel so we
can photograph you coming out, - shout
8 ed the director.
While the astonished passengers
poked their beads out of the windows
8 the train backed up almost a mile into
4 the tunnel. There was more than one
! frightened passenger on that train when
: the film makers scrambled out of their

fears were only allayed when the trair

Armed Ships Status

European Neutrals May Be
Preparedness Move

Washington, March 1.-THE State
DEPARTMENTS reason for making in
quirics Of European ncutrals concern
ing the status Of American armed mcr-
chantmen in their ports has not been
disclosed and is the subject OF much
speculation here. As the United states
is neutral. there is no reason why war
ships Of this country should not enter
the ports OF any friendly power.
The belief is that this government is
ondcavoring TO ascertain the attitude
of these neutral countries toward the
right OF vessels 10 arm and stu retain
their merchant status. This informa-
ton Will be useful in case the United
States enters tho war. and may form
the basis for discussion with powers
that have adopted the German view
that an armed ship is a warship. llol-
land has taken this position.
Some officials say that n the United
States ultimately should be called on TO
supply Holland with food. . British
and Dutch shipping IS being reduced at
an alarming rate, 10 would be necessary
for the Netherlands 10 permit the armed
ships or this country 20 enter Dutch
ports freely as merchantmen.
The refusal OF Holland. under Ger
man pressure. TO permit vessels carry
ing guns of any kind 90 enter her ports
has caused serious tension with Great
Britain. She has adhered to her posi-
ton strictly, even though her own yes
sells have been practically driven off tho
sea By submarines and she greatly
needs the supplies which British armed
ships could bring.
