Fake Fiohts Tnhu

The true director stops barely short Of
murder in the pursuit of realism. says
Herbert Corey. in Everybody's. lie inti-
ates that good director would mitch
prefer 10 lose the life OF beautiful
star" to having the critical situation of
a picture spoiled at the last moment be-
4use a temperamental young woman
loses her nerve and refuses to swim
aaer burning bridge.
| According to Mr.. Corey, moving picture
;hts are the real thing, and a leading
actor once lost popularity because he was
| pulling his punches" In speaking of
/ his feature of the moving picture BUSH
+ ness, a director has this to say: "a fight
must be the real thing We can fool the
! folks about a good many things, but not
about fighting"
Mr.. Corey says: Most Of the stars
rather enjoy II. for they are hearty full
Hooded humans, who must keep In per-
feet training TO be fit for their work.
They have the further consolation that
movie ethics forbds the stage despera-
! does from hitting a star where il will
show. A black eye or q broken nose
would certainly cost the management
great deal Of money. for the star would
PROBABLY remain on salary. The offender
might he forbidden to take part in any
further fights in that studio.
Motion picture fights are not the short
and brisk affairs shown on the screen,
either, Sometimes they last for Is min
utas and when the director orders action
stepped the stage hands are compelled TO
pun the interested fighters apart. From
the fifteen minutes filming one minute
q flrst-rate fighting is selected. On one
occasion Madeline Traverse was enacting
a part in which she was attacked by
Gffiaa. The fGht was so animated that
the men Of The string orchestra which
had been engaged to play desperate
chords during its progress forgot their
music and watched with all their eyes.
It was real on Miss Traverses part, too.
for she was hurt and frightened and
struggled desperately to win freedom.

FRENCH WITHOUT
 SUGAR, DESIRE
 J. 5. TO SUPPLY
Prefer for Yankees to Give Up Soft Drinks Than to Do
 Without Pastries.
(By The Associated Press !

Paris, July 18.-The American of flclals attempting to solve the food question, are confronted with a sugar shortage in France that is said to call either for Americans to sacrifice some of their sweet drinks or for the the French to give up their sweet pastries.
 The American officials, it is under stood, are in favor of allowing Amer jeans to continue the use of sugar for their sweet drinks. The French authorities, however, are anxious to obtain sugar from the United States but exportation from the American market now is prohibited to protect American consumers.
 French food officials, it is explain ed, were give an option last fall on as large a proportion of the Cuban sugar crop as they wished. The French took about 31 per cent of the crop although American officials warned them of an impending world sugar shortage. Now that the French face sugar deficit they are seeking an American supply where prices are lower than elsewhere.
 Consumption of sugar has increas- ed at such an unexpected rate, that American refiners have been unable to meet the demand although raw su- gar is abundant. Since the United States went dry, it is said here, con- sumption there increased 8O,OOO tons monthly chiefly because of it's use in sweet drinks.
 While sugar was rationed the per capita consumption in the United States dropped from S5 pounds a year to 45. Indications now are that the increased use of sugar since the armistice will make the con- sumption exceed ali previous figures.

Correspondence of Associated Press.) Budapest, July 6.-"America ought to have the role of fighting things in Hungary" Count Michael Karolyi, former president of the Hungarian re- public told The Associated Press cor respondent. The count continued to denounce the peace treaty, declaring that it's terms are impossible and that the boundaries fixed for Hun gary are ruinous.
 Central Europe has gone to the dogs" the count continued. You are astonished by bolshevism here. Blockade Paris and it will go commu- mist too. The allies say we cannot talk to such bolshviki,' that is making 9 comedy of politics. It is treating the people of Europe as if they were Zulus.

PERMANENT RANK FOR FOUR CHEFS
 ARMY AND NAVY
President Recommends Con gress Honor Pershing, March,
 Sims and Benson.

Washington, July 18.-Permanent ranks of general in the regular army for General Pershing and General March, chief of staff, and permanent ranks of admiral in the navy for Real Admiral Sims and Admiral Benson chef of operations, were asked of congress today by President Wilson
 The presidents message follows:
 "l take the liberty or calling your attention to a matter which l am sure IS at the heart of the whole country. and which l have had very much in mind throughout all these months when we were trying to arrange peace that would be worthy of the spirit and achievements of the men who on the victory in the field and on the sea.
 After mature reflection, 1 earn estly recommend that you give the permanent rank of General to John J. Pershing, and Peyton c. March, ex- pressing the law in such way as to give precedent to General Pershing: and that you give the permanent rank of admiral to William s. Benson, and William s. Sims.
 q take it for granted that I am only anticipating your own thought in proposing these honors for the men upon whom the principal respon- abilities devolved for achieving the
