Just What You Want to Know About
The Judgment House"

This IS the first production J. Stuart
Blackton has made has made since his
association with Paramount 1t IS
marked by the same infinite attention
to detail, and the same grandeur OF
production as THE Battle Cry Of
Peace" and his other productions.
The Judgment House" was written
by Sir Gilbert Parker, the noted Eng

of Commodore Blackton's and who
came from England to be present at

J. Stuart Blackton is at the head of

some of the greatest and most widely

In addition there has been furnished

who plays the part of Krool, the
South African servant.
The Scenario was written by ].
Stuart Blackton himselfss and he per-
sonally directed the entire production.
With Sir Gilbert Parker at his elbow,
the play was discussed and built up
step by step into throbbing vital piece
of work that stands out from the
screen and whose characters are so

That's the war food slogan of H.

Payne doesn't merely advise his
customers not to eat veal. He won't
sell them any. Beef, pork, mutton
All right, ma'am. Veal? No!
"Save the calves and the beef short

In these words he explained why
he refuses to sell veal to his patrons,
Turning to cut a steak for a waiting
customer, he went on:
Twelve thousand calves a day are
slaughtered in Chicago alone. These
calves are from to II weeks old

Lieut.. Commander Ernest Fried
rick, who commanded the United
States gunboat Nashville when IL
fired on an Italian submarine in the
Mediterranean last summer. has
been sentenced to the loss OF
thirty numbers. The sentence was
imposed by a naval court with an
unusual plea for clemency. Secre-
tary Daniels. however, approved the
sentence. The italian government,
whose submarine was fred upon by
the American vessel with the loss OF
one man killed, also officially in
terceded for Commander Friedrich.
An attache of the embassy called
upon Secretary Daniels and express
ed the hope of the Italian govern
ment that no punishment would be
meted out in the case.
Firing on the Italian submarine
came last summer shortly after
American war vessels were sent
into the Mediterranean as a protec-
tfon to allied shipping against sub
marines.
The Nashville was patrolling the
sea at night not far from the coast
Of Italy. The submarine emerged
a short distance away. The Nash
Vile broke out a signal which
should have brought instant re-
cognition from any allied war
craft.
No reply was made to the signal
and the Nashville opened fire, kill
ing one man and wounding others.
The identity Of the submarine then
was signaled.
At his trial for firing on an allied
vessel, Commander Friedrich said he
had acted under explicit instructions
from the Navy Department. In its
records the court declared that the
accident was due entirely to the fault
Of others. Commander Friedrick's ac-
ton. II said. showed uncommon zeal
and initiative. The italian Embassy
told Secretary Daniels that similar
incidents were not uncommon in mod
ern warfare and said that British and
French war ships fired on vessels of
their allies under similar circum
stances. Secretary Daniels refused to
interefer with the sentence OF the
court. however.
The incident happended before war
was declared against Austria by this
country and when 1t was a moot
question as to what would be done
should an American war vessel en-
counter an Austrian submarine. Of
ficials of the Navy Department would
not discuss the question. Should meet
ing take place would the submarine
FIRE? Would the American vessel nre?
What action would be taken by an
American vessel when an Austrian
submarine was met was answered
clearly by the Nashville when the
italian submarine was mistaken for an
Austrian underwater craft.
