ATLANTA CA, March 2-Wiiiiam
Howard Tafts hearty Endorsement of
organized IA Dor and his advocacy OF cs-
tabiishmen; OF 4 policy of tolerance on
the part of both employer and en-
ployees before more than 5000 persons,
marked the closing session of the
League of Nations here last night.
Mr. Taft declared that the plan for
the establishment of a league of ma
tons has the hearty indorsc mcnt Of
organized labor OF America, and added
that such union is the promise made
by the united workmen of America to
their brothers in Europe.

Unions should be encouraged. he said,

their workers through the unions. He
advocated the encouraging of the

fishing feeling that would do much

Trade nnionism is essential FOR the
times that are come upon US mmc-
diatcly. declared Mr.. Taft. They have
pended upon, not only the means of
turning out material for the war but
as a primary pillar upon which the
prosperity of the world, and. conse-
qucntly, the outcome of the war de-
pended.
IMPORTANCE BROUGHT
HOME THROUGH WAR
This realization has brought home
to them as never before the import
ancc of their standing, and it has made
the world realize that the trades unions
must be considered and recognized.
Il recognize things as see them
and I recognize that there is a zone be
yond that OF pure law-that of social
obligation. We have in our commu-
nifty two different kinds of courts. One
is the court of justice, based entirely
on the principle OF law, bu; it's juris-
diction is nothing compa red with
that upon which the court of society
is held.
Men without public spirit who have
no conception Of an obligation to their
fellow-man and no sense of the live
and-let-live' spirit are condemned in
! the social court. 1t is in that zone
that VIC must work. It is essential in
the order that laboring man should
gain 4 sense of his responsibility, and
that the employer realize that this
would result in the removal of many
OF the difficulties between capital and
labor"

Mystery Connected
 With Farrar Film

The celebrated sphinx never kept a secret better than the executive and publicity staffs of the Goldwyn pie lures, which have thus far kept in absolute silence the name of the film in which Geraldine Farrar will be starred with her husband, Lou Telle- gen, playing opposite her. The two are now working together on the pie ture al the Goldwyn studios in Culver City, California
 Lawson Butt, Naomi Childers, Lydia Yeamans Titus, Arthur Carew, Alec B. Francis. Mime. Dione, May Gi- raci and Edward J. Connolly are the well known personalities who will lend their support to the famous star in her new picture. MT. Connolly was loaned to Goldwyn by the Metro com pany.
 In addition to these, Hazel Bren- non, a young Australian actress, is to have her first important part on the screen in the picture, the name of which remains so deeply hidden. Miss Brennon is said by those who have seen her to have a charm and power all her own. It may be said that the first picture in which Miss Farrar and MT. Te11egen are to appear to- gether, promises much even without the title.

DISCOVERED

An unexpected thrill was injected into the filming of the most recent episode of "Peri1s of Thunder Noun tain off San Pedro Harbor, the Cali fornia seaport
 Antonio Moreno in this episode dives from a schooner to escape his foes In making the dive, one of his hands came fin contact with a float ing water bottle of the maritime type As the director called "cut' on this scene, MT. Moreno grasped the bottle and brought it to shore.
 While the markings on the bottle were all but ob1iterated, still 1t was possible to identity 1t as having be- longed to a German U-boat. The let ter 'U'' was plainly distinguishable, though the figures that followed 1t were too indis''nct to decipher. How ever. 1t bore the German eagle and near the base the imprint of the own CT, one Hans Grossm eier; all of which seemed to offer conclusive evidence that a U-boat operated in the Pacific Ocean during the recent hostilities be- tween this country and Germany.

Italy's National Orchestra on Mission
 To America

N For the first time in nearly four hundred years the historic Saint Ce- cilia Society of Rome will depart from its tradition when the "Augusteo"- popularly called the saint Cecialf Orchestra''-leaves Rome in October on it's momentous mission to America.
 Music is generally regarded as the most ephemeral of arts. but is there any institution in the world. artistic or commercia1-is there, in fact, any thing except a church or a nation that can reckon it's existence on a straight unbroken line from a foundation in 1566? In that year "The Congrega- ton of the Musicians of Rome under the Invocation of Saint Cecelia' as es- abolished by Pope Plus v, it's charter being confirmed in 1884 by Gregory XIII. It is the orchestra supported by this venerable institution that is coming to tis country Tor a trans continental tour next fall.
 Compared to the Academy of Saint Cecelia, as 1t Is known today, tho Parts conservatoire, the orchestra of which visited America last winter, fs a mere child, having been founded in 1T9b, more than two centuries later almost contemporarily with the oldest American musical organization still fin existence. the Stoughton CMass.) MuEfcal Society.
 The Academy of Saint Cecilia. has numbeged all the great Italian musi- clans of tho past among It's members as well as a host of foreign celebrities. including Wagner, Liszt, Gounod and many others. The great composer and vioiinist Corelli was the head of the Instrumental section in 17OO. The Academy has always been housed in some famous Roman building. Its first quarters were in q college of the Barnabites-now the Chigi Palace fin the Piazza Colonna, the heart of mediaeval Rome: thence 1t moved to tho Convent of Saint Mary Magdelene. leaving that for another Barnabite college, Saint Carl of Catinsri, where it remained for nearly two centuries, finally removing in 1876 to its present home in an old Ursuline convent.
 In 1889 two distinguished Italian musicians, Giovanni Sgambati and Ettore Penelli, opened free classes in music in the quarters of the Academy and after 1870 these classes developed into the Royal Lyoeum of Saint Ce- cilia- the most famous school of music in Italy. supported by the Academy with the nfd of n govarnment subsidy. It Is the professors of this Lyceunl who form the body of solo players of the Saint Cecilia Orchestra that is coming to America

How he's going to do it Hale Ham ilton doesn't know, but he wrote the story so he'll have to find out. It will have to be done.
 It appears that in "In His Brothers s Place the popular Metro star as au- thor of the original story and star of the screen version is called upon to appear in a dual role. A dual role would be an easy thing, if it weren' t for the finish of the story.
 You see,' said MT. Hamilton at the studio recently. 'I am playing two distinct characters, and have created an interesting situation at the very end of the picture where these two men marry two sisters, in a dou- ble wedding.
 How I'm going to stand up in two beings with two different girls in one scene is what is bothering me now" laughed Hale. x ~
