1000 new motion picture houses have
been planned: France contemplates an

unprecedented demand in Europe for
more and more Aim theatres can be
accounted for by the fact that a war

ly now. In the British Isles and on

An Administrator Boomerang Hits
Uncle Sam on the Head.

Six weeks ago the Navy Depart
ment opened bids for 10000 tons Of
steel, and finding that the bidders
had all put In the price that had been
fixed by the Industrial Board re-
jected the offers as not being com
petitive. This week, on opening bids
for supplying another lot Of plates
and shapes. the Navy Department
found that the same remarkable stu
alton existed. Either the bidders
gently referred the department to
their bids Of April 4 or they put in
new offers amounting to practically
the same thing.
The Administration Is getting a
dose of its own medicine. In Its
mania for fixing prices 1t permitted
the Industrial Board Of the Depart
ment of Commerce to name the figure
at which steel should be sold. Why
should Mr.. WILSON'S Secretary Of the
Navy scorn the very prices fixed by
Mr.. WILSON'S Secretary REDrrELD's
Industrial Board? It's the law. Mr..
DANIELS will say, II he hears about
1t in Europe: navy bids must be com.
petitive. Well, then, was not the Gov
ernment's fixed price also the law on
April 4, when the bids were rejected
because they complied with the price

A FORMULA FOR FOLLOW
ING MR.. WILSON.
Application Of the Scientific Method
TO His Foreign Policy.

~
srv-.s,r. we
~
are told tnat IN the oeVeiopine'' Vi ~
science there are three distinct stages
First. the observation Of the phenom-
a.. ,,...,o -, ,ho data
WIN 1' >Ao ~N"o~
thus ootaineo INTO logical eeouehoe """'
third, the deduction OF general rule or
formula from the facts thus collected.
This method need not necessarily be re-
stricted to science. Why may Il not be
applied in the questions of everyday
life?
For six years now the actions Of our
President have been the subject Of much
scrutiny and more Amusement; he has
supported measures which without his
approval would have been laughed to
scorn he has made seemingly impossi'
BILE appointments: he has contradicted
his own measures; as some one put It.
'Ut would be easier to stand behind the
President II the President would only
stand still" This might be called the
FIRST step in the analysis of the problem
For the second step let US review the
Presidents record in Paris. with spe-
ciAl attention for the decisions which he
has forced upon the gentlemen Of the
ousi d'Orsay. He has protected the
Outraged Germans" from the avaricious
French in the Saar Valley case. In this
case he has assisted our enemies at the
expense OF a friend better than whom
America never had. In order to protect
his beloved Germans he has secured
them against the acquisition of Danzig
by the Poles, a people friendly TO Ameri-
ca, thus cutting them of from their only
possible outlet to the sea but at the
same time insisting that Jugo-Slavia,
which is to have wide seacoasts, shall
have access to the sea through Fiume
This has seemed inconsistent to more
than one American. He has insisted
that Fiume, an Italian city, shall be
Joined to a nation foreign to her in Ian
guage, customs and laws, at the same
time calling for the abrogation OF q
solemn treaty. and calling for tho recog-
milton of tho same rights Tor Jugo'
Slavia that he denies to Poland in the
case of Danzig. And last. but mos
monstrous OF all. he puts 10000, o0C
Chinese under foreign yoke be-
cause of a treacherous treaty similar
in legal. but certainly inferior in moral
quality to the very one he tears UP II
the case of Italy. 1t may seem impos
sible to and any general policy in thii
tumble of Inconsistencies. But surel,
there must be some formula for the 80
luton Of these problems, however veal
and foolish. This leads US to this thirt

Washington, May 22.-Rough seas,

the ocean about the Azores, today nee
essitated further postponement of the
NC-4's jump off for Lisbon.

"NC-4 will not leave Ponta Delgada
today. Sea too rough for start
1t appears certain that Commander
Read and his crew will be permitted
to continue the journey to England,
unchanged in personnel. There was
some thought here that Commander
Towers might make the balance of the
trip, but Towers has asked to be al
lowed to go 10 Plymouth by boat so as
not to make it necessary for removal
of any of the successful crew.

PROBE PRISON RIOT
One Convict Shot and Several Guards
Hurt at Eeavenworth

board of officers today had under in
vestigation a general riot inside the
walls of the United States disciplinary
barracks last night at which at least
one convict was shot and several pris-
on guards injured. Rumors that one
convict had been killed were denied.
The trouble is said to have started
when a sergeant. armed with a revol-
yer. contrary to prison rules, shot at
several convicts who attempted to
break into a store house. Military
prisoners armed themselves with
clubs and irnprovised weapons and
went to the assistance of their fellow
inms ties. Guards were rushed to the
scene. The fight lasted half an hour
when the prisoners were finally placed
in their cells. a few at time.

SUFFS CAIN | VOTE
Victorious in House Yesterday,
Leaders Turn to Senate.
Anthony Amendment Said To
Have Needed Votes There.
BULLETIN.


Washington, May 22.-The woman
suffrage constitutional amendment
which was passed yesterday by the
house, gained another vote in the
senate with the announcement today
by Senator Hale, Republican, of
Maine, that he would support it. SEN
ator Hale voted against the resolu-
ton at the last session. Suffragists
previously had claimed sufficient
votes to ensure adoption of the reSo-
luton in the senate.
Senator Hale's announcement was
made in 4 telegram sent to Col. Fred
n. Dow of Portland Maine. After
explaining that his vote was cast
against the resolution at the last SEN
ate session because his state defeated
woman suffrage in the referendum in
1917, the senator said he felt justified
in supporting 1t now in view of the
recent action of the state legislature
in granting presidential suffrage to
the women of Maine.
IF they are qualified to vote in a
presidential election said Senator
Hale, they certainly are qualified to
vote in any other election"
Washington. May 22-With the ma
tfonaI woman suffrage amendment
passed for the second time yesterday
by the house supporters of the meas
ure today were turning their attention
to the senate in an endeavor to in
crease the slight margin of strength
which the amendment is said to have
in that body when it comes up for
vote probably in the next three weeks
Forty-two votes more than the nee
essary two-thirds were cast for the
resolution in the house yesterday
showing a marked increase in senti-
ment in that body for equal suffrage
since it last voted on the measure
January 10, 1918, when exactly the
necessary two-thirds vote was secured
Opposition was expressed in the bal
lot by many southern Democrats and
several New England Republicans.
The party division in the vote
showed 200 Republicans, 102 Demo
Gratis. one independent and one Pro
hibitionist voting for the resolution
while seventy Democrats and nineteer
Republicans voted against it.
All efforts of opponents of the res
olution to amend it were unavailing
Following their victory in the houst
yesterday, suffrage leaders predicted
! the senate. on its third opportunity il
two sessions, will finally approve the
resolution.
Senator Hiram johnson, scheduled
mittee. announced that If he is giver
that place he will lose no time
Il will get the committee together
as soon as possible" said johnson
Immediate committee action will
bring the question before the senate
before the league of nations and peace
| treaty or other great problems en-
gross it"
The vote is expected to be mucl
closer in the senate than in the house
and may not be reached so quickly al
! in the house. where there was bu
two hours debate before the vote.

Germans Are Warned.
(By the Associated Press.D
Cobienz, May 22.-Because of in
creased indications of friction between
German civilians and soldiers thruout
the American area of occupation.
American officers today warned the
burgomasters and other German Off
cials that they would be held reSpon-
sfble for any violence or any attempts
at destruction of American army
property.
The American officers ordered the
German officials to caution civilians
thru the newspapers and otherwise
than any resentment displayed by civ
ilians toward the soldiers would not
be tolerated and that serious results
might follow if the Germans persist in
the attitude exhibited recently in var
ious parts of the area of occupation
Reports to American headquarters
show many instances in the last few
days of numerous shopkeepers at
tempting to overcharge American sol
diers and that Germans in the streets
are particularly arrogant and refused
in many cases to give half of the side
walk.
Reports of the lofty attitude OF
, civilians began reaching headquarters
a week ago and increased with report:
of delays at Versailles. the attitude ot
| the German delegates there apparent
