MOrne Also Included.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 15.-Wil
liam Allen Whites latest novel, In
the Heart of a FOOL has been select
ed by Allan Dwan for his next
screen production. Since establishing
himself at the head of his own inde-
pendent producing organization to
make pictures for the MayfIower- Pho
toplay corporation, Mr.. Dwan has COM
pleted three big productions.
In making Soldiers of Fortune" his
first production. more than a thou
sand horses and more than twenty
thousand persons were used. The story
of THE Luck of the Irish," his sec
ond production, opened in New York
and then moved to southern Europe
and the Orient. To build this produc-
ton many gigantic sets were required
where the locale of the story takes
place. His third production "A Splen-
did Hazard" will be another picture
of exceptional magnitude, but in pre-
pairing the visualiza ton of "In the
Heart of z. FoolP' Mr.. Dwan is plan
ming on spending still more money.
The actual filming will start in about
q week at the Hollywood studio. AL
ready Mr.. Dwan has spent more than
thirty thousand dollars for costuming
and salaries for his rehearsals. When
it is considered that the average Spro-
uuctlOn SHOWN on the mOtlOn picture
screen today costs less than what Mr..
Dwan has spent before starting the
actual filming of his new production.
it can be imagined what sort of a pro-
duction he is contemplating present
ing his fourth independent photoplay.
The story will be interpreted for the
screen by an exceptional cast of play
ers, including James Kirkwood, who
will be seen in the role of Grant
Adams, a young coal miner who acts
as champion of his fellow men and
leads them in their labor troubles
John w. Burton will interpyet the role
of Doctor Nesbit, a wealthy physician
and political leader, while Mary Thurs

House Military Committee Sides
With Pershing.
Agree ON Peace-Time Force of
About 3OO,OOO Men.
TRAINING PLAN IN DOUBT
Plans for Reorganizing Guard
as Yet Undetermined.
Baker and General STAFF Fa-
vOred Big Army.

Washington, Nov. ia peacetime
military establishment of about 300,-
600 officers and men has been agresd
upon by the house military committee,
Chairman Kahn told the house today.
This will include a regular army of
100000 combat troops and auxiliary
supply and staff corps with a strength
of $4,000 officers and men.
The strength of the army is virtu-
ally the same as General Pershing
recommended to congress, but it is
just about one-haif of the big army
program Secretary Baker and the gen.
eral staff desired. Their plans called
for a total strength of $4,000 men.
Kahn said no army reorganization
bill will be brought before the house
this session because the committee
feels hearings must be continued.
Other recommendations virtually
agreed 10 by the committee. Kahn
said are voluntary enlisments to fill
up the army organized during the war,
and promotions of officers by seiec-
tion from a single list. thus replacing
tine old plan of seniority. Whether
universal military training will be rec
commended has not yet been decided
nor have plans been devised for the
reorganization of the national guard,

large number of important topics are
on the program for discussion and il
is predicted the, county officials will
get together" on plans concerning the
coming election, especially so far as
the state legislature is concerned.
They are not satisfied with the atten-
ton they have received at the hands
of the last legislature and are resolved
to exert every effort to obtain the
election of legislators who are not "toC
uppish" to faithfully represent them.
Good Roads and Taxes.
AS at the previous convention, the
subject of good roads will occupy
much attention at the coming meeting
Tax systems will be discussed and the
hated waver of the red flag will find
that the Kansas official council has
no more regard for him than has the
American Legion.
The election of officers will be held
Friday, after which a combined meet
ing of the associations will be held in
the auditorium. The present president
of the association is Clarence Aten. OF
