United States Jumps from
9th to2ndin World sShipping
Remarkable Advance Made By This Country In Face
of Loss of Two-thirds of Total Pre-war Tonnage,
Figures Show.

incidentally the article presents
figures to show that the U-boat has
been greatly overrated as an instru-
Inent of destruction. An analysis of
losses shows that German mines de-
trcyed considerably larger amount
of tonnage than Won Tirpitz's pets.
The total losses are put at is, l36, 600
tons. OF this amount mines are
credited with 6,377, 900 tons and u
boats, $4,000 tons. The remainder
is laid to marine risks, raiders, seiz-
ures and other causes. The losses
suffered by this nation, approxi-
mately, 100000 tons, were almost
evenly divided between war and ma
rine risks.
The number of ships lost by neu-
trail and allied nations during the
war is placed at about 1000. The
monetary losses including values of
ships and eargoes, lost earning
power, lives insured and ships and
cargoes damaged, but not sunk, is
placed at $7,775,000. OF this total
IS, 266, 100000 is charged to mines
ard $2,9s4,O00,000 to U-boats.
Although Germany boasted OF
tremendous additions to its gross
tonnage through seizures, the article
shows that the allied and neutral
powers gained far more from this
course than did the Teutons. The
record is:

that the Sunday night house gave
vent to many and repeated curtain

The story deals with the daughter
OF a wealthy American gentleman
OF the period around 1910, when on
her sixteenth birthday she pledges
TO wait for her lover, an apprentice
in her fathers cooperage shop. For
his attentions Richard Wayne is dis
charged and driven from the home
of his sweetheart. Before his leav-
ing. they plant an apple tree in the
garden and the life of three genera
tions is told beneath branches Of
this apple tree. In fact, the remain
der of the play is taken UP with the
disappointment OF the two lovers
and how fortune reversed itself and
how finally the granddaughter and
grandson of Ottilie and Richard
found love beneath the dying
branches of the romantic apple tree.
Upon his return to America after
fifteen years in Africa Richard has
become a millionaire. but finds his

in the face again, after the grewsome
clinic of erotiC degeneracy that he
presented in THE Marquis de Priola"
at the New National last evening?
Ditrichstcin last evening slew
Ditrichstein. That is. he murdered
the memories of all those delightful
Don Juans whom he has given us, all
those artistic lovers who skidded
around moral corners gracefully and
regarded the Seventh Commandment
with mock gravity. He enacted a
deCadent in naked, unadulterated
Partisan realism-a regular moral
monster who was created out of the
hectic intellectuals of a Gallo play
wright in order that the pathology of
degeneracy might be revealed to us in
unsparing detail.
1t was not a pleasant spectacle.
However, if the test of true drama,
as Brander Matthews says, is the
ultimate spinal shiver." then the
new play from the Comedy Francaise
is a success.
Henri Lavedan wrote The Mar
quis de PriOla" to show the moral
bankruptcy OF a social order that
permitted such a line of aristocratic
decadents to lick its lecherous sores
unmoIested and unquestioned. He
did a scavengers job. 1t is even
whispered that he did not have an
eye alone on the Faubourg ST. Ger
main when he wrote the play-that
he tried to typify the moral loath-
someness of the Hohenzollern, con-
veyed in the symbolism OF the with
cred arm. But it is hardly to be
questioned that his main attack was
on Partisan decadence and there is
no doubt about its effectiveness. 1t
is effective in the same way that
Damaged Goods" or THE City" was
effective. 1t opened with a fine air
of intellectual interest, but it proved
to be essentially pedestrian in spirit.
Most French playwrights disdain
the use of any instruments less sub
tie than the stilleto on their vic
Tins. NJ. Lavedan plays safe and
uses a sledgehammer.
There was a brilliant sweep OF
intellectual exhilar9tion at the start

who was born several centuries too
late, who belonged to the age of
the Borgias, of Richelieu. of the
grand monarque." He was a pitiful
anachronism in an age of democracy
and Bolshevism-he who boasted OF
an ancestor at the sack of Rome
and the ma ssacre of st. Bartholomew.
Such an aristocrat, with the faintest
touch of chivalry or 'noblesse
oblige" in his veins, would have
furnished an interesting evening.

was neurotic, erotiC. and for the

Iogue which cover the various pc

day. each separate drama forming
complete story and presenting its
individual cast of characters. The
first division of the spectacle. re-
veaIing the great tragedy OF the
human race in Eden. is a marvel
of fascinating beauty, in which
Ethel Halior is pictured as Eve and
Henry West as Adam. The subject
covered by this portion OF the pic
ture is treated with a degree OF
reverence that is equal quite TO the
impressiveness Of Mr.. TourneuT's

Next the action is transferred TO
Paris. in 1928, where innocence
brings disaster upon a wearer OF
the cloth. and then successfully
progresses to the coast Of Brittany,
where is enacted a fantasy of SHIN
mering beauty and keen dramatic
interest. and to the civil war, where
a girl Of the back country sells
soul for a bit Of jewelry, only TO
realize her sefish error too late.
ThrouChout the length Of the pic
ture there is ever in evidence the
almost inspired artistry of a di-
rector whose achievements on the
screen have without exception been
marked by exceptional insight in
to human character and the we'll
nieh limitless possibilities Of his
medium expression.
The bill at the Rialto is completed
by the customary wide variety OF
short film features. including the
most laughable slow-action pictures
ever screened. and musical setting
that adds immeasurably to the et-
fectiveness of a picture that in
spires musicianship of the highest
