Amusements

RICHMOND-"THE SAVAGE
WOMAN" featuring Clara Kimball
Young at the Richmond tonight, con-
tains many elaborately produced
scenes, costly and marvelously staged.
See her amid the wild beasts Of the
African jungle, as the reincarnated
queen of Sheba in the ruined splendor
Of an ancient palace, and as half
tanned thing amid the artifcialities of
Partisan high life. Bare and fleet of
foot, hair flying in the wind and sun
which have nursed her from birth, the
savage woman is suddenly transplant
ed to the artifcialities and inconven-
fences of fashionable Partisan dress.
Clara Kimball Young in "The Savage
Woman" in distinctly new role.
A Pathe-Hearst Lloyd comedy
will also be shown.
GRAND-You know Doug Fairbanks
and you know how he rolls his sleeves
up and goes to work. You have seen
him jumping, fighting, laughing, plan
ming and winning in nearly score of
Triangle plays. He is always the in
imitable "Duggie" Everybody loves
him because he is manly, bright and
original. We love his smile. and we
love to have him furnish usiwith this
kind of entertainment. In The Amer
icano, which will be- seen at: the Grand
tomorrow, he gives US himself and be-,
sides, he tells very wonderful story
"a story that keeps US guessing all
the time up to: the end. ltiis no fun
trying to overthrow crooked gov
ernment in Central America with no
one to help out except negro and an
old man. Of course there is the in
spiration, the love that is behind all
that Doug does as the intrepid Ameri-
can mining, engineer. He gets his re-
ward in the end together with a few
bruises and such.

TO USE GERMAN SHIPS
~pain's Back Up aver Ravages Ry
U-BOats.

Madrid, Aug. 22.-Spain Will utilize
German vessels now in Spanish ports
N place of Spanish ships sunk by Ger
man submarines and will continue to
observe neutrality.
This decision is announced in an
official statement issued after meet
ing of the cabinet at San Sebastian.
The Spanish ambassador at Berlin has
been instructed toainform the German
government of this action. This cahi
net statement reads:
I'm the course of the recent meet
.ngs held ,at Msdrid the government
Gnsidered the international situation.
"As a consequence oi the submarine
campaign more than 90 per cent of
,rr merchant marine has been sunk,
more than 100 Spanish sailors have
ncrished,. a considerable number of
sailors have been wounded and mum:
hers - have. been shipwrccked and
abandoned. Ships ,reeded; exclusively
for Spanish use have been torpedoed
without the slightest pretext, serious
difficulties arising to navigation.
"The government has believed that
it is unable, without. failing in its es-
scntial obligations and without setting
aside neutrality, to defer the adoption
of measures necessary to guarantee
Spanish maritime traffic and to pro-
tect Spanish crews and passengers.
consequently the government ha'
decided to address the Imperial Ger,
man government and declare that ow
ing to reduction of tonnage to its g
treme limit, it will be obliged in case
of new sinkings to substitute thereto,
German vessels interred in Spanish
norts. This measure does not impl!
the confiscation of the ships under def
rite title. 1t would be only a tenn
porary solution until the establish
ment of peace, when Spanish claim
also will be liquidated."

GRANTS RATE INCREASE
State Corporation Commission Gives
Alexandria Water Company Power

I !"
Alexandria Water Company Power
Fer This. S>lreiull. More or Less
Tentative. Other Recommendations
Made in Case.
The State Corporation Commission
has granted the Alexandria Water
Company permission to increase its
rates according To Richmond dis
patch. The increase, however, it IS
stated, is not to the level the company
had asked for, and the commission
says that any schedule at this time is
more or less necessarily tentative.
The commission is disposing of this
case also considered the complaint of
inadequate service, water supply and
high rates and the complaint of the
company that it rates were too low.
The order issued by the commission
partially sustains both sides.
Some weeks ago the commission di-
rected this company to build filtra-
ton plant.
The commission also holds that the
supply of water is now sufficient, but
that as soon as conditions become
normal after the war, it will be neces-
sary to build pipe line between this
city and the dam at Bancroft, Fairfax
county, where the water shed is To-
Gated.
1t is held that the mains in the city
streets are of sufficient size for do
nestle purposes, hut rot to furnish
pressure and volume through fire
plugs for fire protection purposes.
Lack of pressure in houses is held
TO be mainly due to the company's
failure to require standard service
pipes Of adequate size. The company
is required to clean its mains of rust.
Officials here today had not received
word Of the new schedule Of rates
granted
The original petition field with the
was for lower rates, better
service. etc. More than year after
ward ene water company asked per-
mission TO increase It's rates.
