BEST THEATRE.

When D. w. Griffith produced "The Birth of Nation" the world was amazed and said the limit of motion picture possibilities had been reached When he produced "Intolerancee" the critics stood in awe and confessed that the great producer had surpassed himself and when his latest triumph Hearts of the World" was revealed words failed to express both public and critical opinion. It is the sub- lime achievement of the age, realizing possibilities that are almost beyond conception and stamps D. w. Griffith as yertiable wizard of dramatic art in the pictures. With the great struggle as background Griffith has evolved a love story that grips the heart and stirs the soul.
 Hearts of the World" has proven even more maverous financial suc- cesss than both it's predecessors and that is record that was considered almost impossible. Hearts of the World will be seen in this city for a limited engagement in a short time.

NO SETTLEMENT M|NERS' STRIKE
 IN CT. BRITAIN
Lloyd Georges Government Faces Crisis, With 25O,-
 O00 Men Idle.
iRv the Associated Press.)


 London, July 23.-The fourth day of the great coal miners, strike brought no signs of settlement, AL most 25O,000 men have laid down their tools.
 Premier Lloyd George and several members of the cabinet, including Andrew Bonar Law, Sir Auckland Geddes and Sir Robert s. Horne, con- ferred with the mine owners today. The premier will meet the officers of the Miners federation tomorrow.
 The triple alliance of labor, which is composed of the railway men, trans portation workers and miners, met in London behind closed doors and re- gistered vote of 217 to II against conscription, participation in Russian campaigns and the intervention of military force in trade union dis putes.
 The disclosure by the labor paper recently of secret circular when the war office sent to officers, asking what would be the attitude of the soldiers, in the event they were call ed upon for strike breaking, has pro- duced a great sensation in labor cir cleS. !. Faces Different Situation. There is no doubt that Lloyd Geor- ge's government has met the most serious situation in domestic affairs that it has yet had to deal with.
 David Lloyd Georges genius hith- erto has been shown in ability for compromises. Now he is placed be- tween two opposing forces whose in- terests are in direct opposition.
 The miners, who constitute the strongest organized labor body in the country, are determined upon the standardization of the mines, the coal owners seem equally determined to maintain their property rights. More over, 300 members of the premier's coalition party in the commons have signed strong protest against na- tionalization as a principle.
 The majority of the newspaper ap- preciation, if not sympathy, with the miners standpoint and say that the miners Were given to understand that the government would adopt the re- port of the Sankey commission. This commission recommended partial nar tlonalization a month ago, but the government has not taken steps te follow this recommendation.

FORD CONCLUDES TESTIMONY, AND
 HURR|ES AWAY
Manufacturers Last Testimony in Defense of His Son, Edsel
 Ford.

Mount Clemens, Mich, July 23.- The defense of the Chicago Daily Tribune against the charge of libel brought by Henry Ford is nearing the end. It began nearly two months ago. Today, Weymouth Kirkland, one of the Tribune lawyers, stated that little remained in the way o1 evidence. Alfred Lucking, senior counsel for the manufacturer, said he had considerable evidence to present in rebuttal.
 MT. Ford, who went on the stand eight days ago concluded his testl- mony today, and seizing his hat and, murmuring something about New York;" was away in hurry.
 His concluding testimony contained a defense of his son, Edsel, for not becoming soldier.
 According to the witness MT. Ford made some very momentous decisions off hand, as in the instance of the celebrated $5 minimum wage
 "Mr. Ford's first idea was to raise the pay of the men $1 day. testified John R. Lee, Ford executive. "Jim Cousens said why rot make 1t $5 a day, and MT. Ford said all right That's all there are to it."
 According to the testimony of Henry Ford his son, Edsel, wished to go to war, but was dissuaded by his father.
 "Will you state whether your son had become necessary to the work of your great factory when the United States entered the war in order to relieve you of the detail of it ?" asked MT. Lucking, attorney for MT. Ford.
 "We have worked together all his -time," said the witness.
 "Had he reached position where he was a great relief to you?'
 Yes, he is a great relief to me-"
 "In looking after war work?"
 "Yes."
 "He personally was willing to go to war;"
 Yes, he had many offers"
 "You felt you needed him in the factory?"
 "Yes."
 Was he offered commissions in the army, although he would stay right Tn the factory.
 "Yes."
 "On war work ?"
 Yes, but he declined them."
 "Do you remember saying that you didn't care to see him camouflage; 1; to wear a uniform and appear to be in the service, when he was actually attending to necessary war work in the factory?"
 "Yes."
 Attorney Stevenson asked MT. Ford if he assumed all responsibility for his son not enlisting.
 "Yes, I think l did," replied the witness.
 "The draft board disagreed with you?"
 q thing so.'
 "That is all."
 John R. Lee, for many years as sociated with the Ford Motor com pany, testified to a conversation at which Edward Marshall interviewed MT. Ford.
 "I heard MT. Ford say, with some thing of shock, that the word 'mur- derer' should be placed on the breast of every soldier," said MT. Lee.
 He confirmed many other remarks attributed to MT. Ford by MT. Marsh al in his subsequent magazine arti- cle.
 "He thought we should sink oul navy and disband our army" said the witness.

SOUTH.

(After Kipling.)
A fool there was and he planted his
crop
Gwen as you and y
Though his wisest friends all told him
to stop,
But he thought that cotton would go
to the top
Then the boil weevil came and it
went kerfop.
Even as you and l.
Oh, the time we spent and the cash
we spent
And the work of our head and
hand
Have gone for naAgnt, for we did
not know
How could we? That cotton would
slump So
1t wasn't as we damned.
The fool was stripped to his very
last cent
Gwen as you and y
He couldn't pay what the banks had
lent
And he had no money to meet his
rent
Though to pay his debts he had very
well meant
Gwen as you and ~
Oh, it isn't the loss of the, labor o.

That stings like a white hot brand
It's coming to know that we are sucl

Not to grow more foodstuff for mel

The crops always in demand.

GRENDoN. Century Company. $50.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-04-27
By DOROTHY SCARBOROUGH.

THE romance of modern business IS
u one Of the favorite motifs of Amer
lean fiction at present. NirOla Of Wall
Street, by Felix Grendon, is an attempt
to fictionalize big business in New York.
This is an entertaining story, but not
one to be taken seriously. The first half
goes fairly well, for the men and women
Mr.. Grendon describes are amusing,
though more like caricatures than char
acters, and the inside workings of com
mercial house are shown with spirit. But
the latter part is impossible, a tumble of
absurd happenings that still are not funny
enough to be farcical.
Nirola, the central character, is private
secretary to Wall street millionaire, a
bachelor who is so afraid of being en-
trapped into marriage by one of his en-
ployees that he resorts to queer articles
to protect himself. Nirola is reported
by the author to be of superintendent vi
tally, magnetism and elevcrness, but the
reader is likely TO find her remarks more
impudent than witty. She seems rather a
travesty ON the dignifed young business
woman in real life. and unwise stenog.
raphers who attempted to initiate her
methods would probaly meet with results
sadly differing from her spectacular sue
cess.
The book contains clever satire on GER
