Military Tactics in
"Hearts Of the World"
Interest Audiences

Hearts of the World" at the
Brandeis theater is unquestlonably
the supreme triumph of David Wark
Griffith's photo dramas. With a
plot based on the one topic OF in
terest to every American citizen he
plays upon every emotion and at
the same time shows in actual con-
iict plenty of theories advanced
in military textbooks.
Probably the most commendable
feature of the Brandeis production
is the fact that the house is dark
ened-especially to the strong, cool
and unsentimental folks-allowing
one to blubber his eyes out unob-
served. 1t is foolish to deny that
there are tears, for they cannot be
restrained at such pathetic moments
as when the lusty poilu dehes a
squad of boches and the wee brother
sacrifices his toy pistol to the cause
of France.
Fort Omaha officers, instructors
and students were loud in their
praise of the examples of the varl-
Gus advantages and disadvantages
of attack and defenses presented.
With the lifting of the flu ban at
the fort many of the soldiers took
advantage of the opportunity to see
the military spectacle. 1t was equal
ly as interesting to the civilian, who
for the first time saw in DEATH the
military maneuvers written about
in dispatches from the front.
OF course, it would be Impossible
to maintain three hours OF undlmin-
ished interest without having all the
various scenes woven together as a
part of the main story. And so we
have the thrills of war; the cap
tivating vixenishness Of Dorothy
Gish; the delicate and charming
love scenes between Lillian Glsh
and Robert Harron; the admirable
acting of George Fawcett and Rob
ert Anderson; the active disgust
and hate created by the men por-
traying the Germans, headed by
George Siegmann, and long list OF
other things that would in them.
selves have value enough to hold
attention.

WORLDLY BABY
SENT TO Geneva
HOME FOR GIRLS
Dorothy Fullerton, 9 Years of
Age, Sent to State lnstitu-
ton for Correction
of Girls.

"The Redemption of Dorothy, I"
was the title of a little human
tragedy which was unfolded in
juvenile court Saturday morning.
Dorothy. Fullerton, 9 years of age,
daughter of Mrs. Olive Fullerton OF
Nineteenth and NJ streets, will be
committed to the state home for
girls at Geneva, Neb.
"If you amt going to let me have
the child, you might just as we'll say
so now, so | won't have to come
up here again." the mother replied
when she was told that the juvenile
officers did not think the Fullerton
home environments would serve the
best interests of the child.
The child's knowledge of the
world was impaired to her sister
through whispered conversations in
side room, and when asked if she
did not believe that Geneva was the
place for Dorothy. the sister sadly
nodded her head affirmatively.
"I've done the best l could for that
child" Mrs. Fullerton pleaded.
"Your best has not been good
enough" Chief Officer Miller re-
piled.
Learned Crime Young.
THAT child has been naturally
smart. When she was 2 years old
she knew as much as a girl of IA"
the mother added.
Judge Troup replied that it is not
natural for a child to be smart in
the ways of evil. A juvenile Off
Ger stated that Dorothy knew things
that would not be expected even of
a woman of rs.
Mrs. Sexton of the Riverview
home stated that it was not safe to
allow Dorothy to mingle with the
boys at the home.
She's my kid, judge, and if you
send her to! Geneva, I don't want
her to be given to anybody else"
Mrs. Fullerton continued.
Assurances were given that it
would be for the best interests of
Dorothy and society that the girl
should be placed where she would
have the benefit of wholesome in
Auences and receive proper educa-
ton.
One of Dorothy's sisters was mar
ried at the age of 10 and another
sister is separated from her hus-
band.

Insurance Men Given
New War Savings Quota

Raising doubled quota is a man
sized job, and then some, but the
secretary of the Treasury has been
assured that the Metropolitan Life
Insurance men will do this.
Thirty solicitors, under direction
of J. J. Mcmahon, have started out
to sell 100000 of war savings
stamps in Omaha by November 7.
These men have sold $230,000 in
previous drives.
The Metropolitan company orig
inally agreed to sell $65,000,000
worth of stamps. That quota was
passed in seven months. The new
quota is $l30000,000. The Omaha
branch won the state banner for
largest sales in previous drives.

the big boss wheeled around in his

McKelvie offered definite proof
that letters which had been printed
in the World-Herald and Lincoln
Star, attacking him, were faxed. He
had checked up the addresses and
showed by the RETURN of registered
letters that no such persons or ad-
dresses existed. He charged that
the letters, attacking him, were man.
ufactured and the names and ad-
dresses were fictitious. He noted
that these faxed letters were offered
to the readers of the World-Herald
as genuine letters.

NAT GOODWIN
AND OTHERS IN
town ONE DAY
Famous Comedian and CON-
pany Help Omaha Forget
the Flu by Performance
at Boyd's.

Nat Goodwin and his associates
held a reception at the Boyd last
night, their presence being incident
al to the reopening OF the theater
after the "hu" embargo. The com
pany had been scheduled for an ap-
pearance and a longer stay last
month, which of course was upset,
but it was the good fortune of Man
ager Burgess to be able to secure
them for the single, and the at
tendance at matinee and evening
performances made clear the fact
that the people really were glad the
quarantine was ended, as we'll as
that such a worthy company of
clever players was present to signal
ize the event.
What the Story Tells.
"Why Marry" does not answer
its question, although it does shoot
some darts of satire at the ancient
institution. A couple seeking di-
vorce, a husband who bullies and
browbeats his wife, and mer-
cenary young woman about to enter
into a loveless marriage with a
youthful but well-gilded rake are
presented to pair of minded
young persons who are in love as
props to support the temple OF
"holy' matrimony. These fatty re-
fuse to have anything to do with
such hypocracy, and emphatically
decline to listen to the lines of the
wedding ceremony read by minis
ter, who has just sold his manhood
that he may provide for his family
They are tricked into a marriage
that is legal enough, although ii
lacked some of the formality O. the
custom, and the eminently respect
able family of the bride is saved
from scandal, although the question
is left unanswered.
Mr.. Goodwin is as unctuous as
ever in his humor, and glistens par:
ticularly when he descants on the
difficulties of marriage and the at.
fractions of divorce. Mr.. Breese
fills a lot of space and action in
picturing a man who bosses every.
body around him, because he has
the money they need, and Ernest
Lawford draws a sympathetic pic.
ture of the priest who has to jet,
tison his principles or let him fam
lily suffer. The really interesting
role is that of the young professor
who is also most ardent lover a:
we'll as -egular man, played by
Leonard Nude.
Lotus Robb Interesting.
Miss Lotus Robb is more thar
interesting as the young woman
who has learned to earn her owr
living, and who has some very clear
ly formed notions in regard to low
and matrimony. Louise Randolph
and Annie Morrison also add con
siderably to the success of the com

FUEL HEADS NOT
TOMAKE OPENING
OR CLOSING RULE
Coal Situation at Present Does
Not Warrint Any Such
Action; No Serious
Shortage.

The coal situation in Nebraska
and throughout the country at pres.
ent is so satisfactory that no state
wide late opening ann early closing
orders will be made by the fuel ad-
minlstration this winter. This or
der will remain in effect unless coal
conditions materially change.
State administrators and state di.
rectors of conservation are being
advised by the Washington director
OF conservation that the fuel situa-
ton does not warrant such action
State administrators are expected to
prepare orders from time to time to
meet local conditions, and general
recommendations along conserva-
ton lines are being sent out from
Washington.
Announcement in Letter.
This announcement was made in
a letter to all state administrators
from G. N. Allen, acting director OF
conservation, United States fuel ad-
ministration, Washington. The let
ter follows:
ut has been decided that unless
conditions materially change, no
national order will be issued by the
fuel administration regulating the
opening and closing hours of offices,
stores and other mercantile estab-
lishments and of places of amuse-
ment.
while such an order WOULD un-
doubtetiy save considerable coal,
especially during the winter, the
great variation in local conditions
make it practically Impossible to
issue national order without work
ing greater hardship on some parts
Of the country and on some classes
of trade thar present conditio is
warrant We stei that except in
the ease of an acute fuel shortage,
tie disruption OF business and H.
convenience to he public caused by
such an order v'or d be out of pro-
portion 10 the .'oai saved.
"The federal administration feels,
further, that under present condi-
tons, no state administrator would
issue any opening or closing order
regulating hours of Offices, stores
and One mercantile establishments
and places Of amusement, except
to meet an acute shortage of fuel
or power. Wfen such shortage
occurs in any locality, the sta:e
administrator should draw Up an
order which, in his opinion, best
meets such emergency, and have the
order approved by Washington be-
fore putting it into effect.
ut is desired that such orders
be applied only to the localities in
the state where this emergency &C.
ours.
Saving Must Continue.
while ruling against any formal
CLOSING order" to effect fuel saw
ing under present conditions, the
fuel administration urges the adop-
ton of reasonable conservation
measures that can be effected by
voluntary agreement of any class
or classes of trade or industry. Al
most everywhere unnecessary prac-
tees have grown up, the elimina-
ton of which will represent fuel
saving, and which can be put into
effect without injury to any one
The fuel administration is prepar,
ing some general recommendations
for saving power, heat and light in
the ve-mentioned establishments
which, it is believed, can be put into
effect without undue inconvenience
These recommendations will be sent
to the various state administrators
at an early date"
