Heart of humanity"

A wonderful recital of mother love,
set amidst the terrific din of battle
and in the quiet of a little Canadian
village, Is unfolded in eight t%hrobbing
reels of excitement, tender sympathy
and terror, in 1.-The Heart of Human
ity," Allen Holuber's great masterpiece,
which had its premier, at the New Lyric
theater Sunday afternoon and night
Through sheer magnitude and strik-
ing appeal, The Heart of Humanity"
takes its place in the front ranks of
the worlds great films and its basic
theme, while as old as the world, is
treated in a new light and Is placed
in a worldly setting that makes 1t CLEAN
all the brighter because OF its horrific
surroundings. The din OF battle sounds
throughout the story n some of its
greatest scenes are those taken amidst
the thunder and pandemonium of bat
tie, but the great basic theme Of love
is not smothered even by these hor-
rors.
The entire production Is fraught with
the spirit of those days when the world
with bated breath awaited the results
OF the clash of right n wrong, when
the German hordes bore down upon an
unprepared world and sought to crush
civilization. The crumbling Of he in
vaders is brought to life~ in some Of
the most vivid and realistic battle
scenes eyer given to a film. From this
standpoint alone, The Heart of HUI
manity'" is deserving of rank among
the best and greatest OF films.
But the din and lust of battle is not
the theme. 1t is only the incidental ac-
compartment to the self-sacrifice Of
women the world over, who gave that
the world might live in peace, The
story OF romance surrounding Nanette,
portrayed by Dorothy Phillips, is one

PREDICTS TITANIC
MERCHANT FLEET
Senator Ransdell Expects
U. s. to Have 10000, 900
Tone by 1920.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Discussing
the American merchant marine prob
lem IN the senate today, Senator Rams 4.
dell of Louisiana predicted that within
a few months the shipping board would
WI half the ocean-going merchant
vessels In the United States over 500
gross tons, and that by 1920 ship con-
struotlon in this country would have In
creased the total tonnage under the
American flag to approximately 49,
900, 900 tons,
These figures the senator said,
lead to the conclusion that from the
quantttiVe point of view, looking only
at the objective OF securing an aggre-
gate amount Of tonnage under our flag
Commensurate with the maritime in
tel ests OF the United States, the prob
lem OF the American merchant marine
Is solved"
or the predicted 10, OOO, 900, the Louis
lana senator estimated 4.525 900 tons
would be owned by the shipping board.
AZ the authority Of the board to oper~
ate vessels expires by limitation six
months after the formal proclamation
Of peace, he said, II was essential that
LEGISLATION be provided whereby the
operation may be continued.
Stating his opposition to a govern
ment subsidy, Senator Ransdell out
lined three possible solutions of the
merchant marine problem as follows:
First, complete government ownership
and operation of all ships, docks,
wharves and terminals on the same
principle under which Rumania and
Belgium operated their shipping before
the war,
Second, ownership and operation
through a public corporation controlled
by the government, under the same
method by which the war department
operates the Panama Railroad and
Steamship company.
Third, government ownership of the
vessels aud the employment OF private
agencies for their operation.
The strength Of the merchant marine,
however. he emphasized, lies in the
number Of trained, alert, resourceful
shipping men whom 1t can call to its
service, on whose watohful. persevering
and competent work the success OF a
shipping venture depends.

TWO MEN
HAVE POOR LUCK
Only One Preesnt to Vote
Against Public Utilities Act. =
New Police Scale.

The best evidence that Mayor Frank

fact that only one Of the two admins
tration's legislative members was pres

ure when IL passed the house, John
Galellas was in Memphis and Joseph
Hanover, the other city administration
member, voted against II, but refused
to make a speech against the measure
when urged to do so by the delegation,
When asked last week what steps
the city administration intended to lake
to fight the public utilities bill, Mayor
Monteverde said that the delegation
would be importuned to do everything
In its power to defeat the bill, but in
formation coming to Memphis from the
capital does not indicate that the ad-

delegations to defeat the bill.

or individual members of the delega-
ton, except Hanover Galella, that
the city administration wanted the bill
defeated,
Galella and Hanover sought to pass
a bill in the house Friday to raise the
pay of the policemen, but the delega-
TONS bin, introduced in the house by
Ernest Bell, Of Shelby, and Senators
Rice and Fuller in the senate, was the
measure passed in the house.
The bin introduced by the admins
tration members, Hanover and Galella,
specified that the sanitary force be
placed under authority of the police
department, but the bill passed in the
house and introduced by Bell for the
delegation, keeps the authority over the
sanitary department under the juris-
diction of the city health department.
