Washington Square Play To Be Given At The
 Liberty

One of the most elaborately produc- ed and interesting photodramas which has been offered to the public in some time, both from the viewpoint of artis- tic eorseousness and plot intricacy. is the second Paralta play to feature Bessie Earriscae. The title is "With- nthe Cup" and it will be the attrac- tion at the LIBERTY Theatre Sun day and Monday.
 The story is set in Washington Square, that section of New York City which the free-mnded artists and authors who inhabit it call their "super-worId". Miss Barriscale DOT trays "Thisbe Loraine," a young A. mclean writer, who has lost her faith in life and love since being the vic tim of deception at the hands Of 9 man she had loved while studying art in Paris. Before that time she had been serious; she had had ambitions; her ideals had ruled her existence But, with her faith gone and her trust broken, she comes to America to live the very life she has detested She becomes known in Bohemian cir ces as a girl whose life is bubblnr with the champagne effervescence Of nocturnal New York; person whose only use for life is living But, in refined society she is also admired as famous and popular author. Her dual personality is never suspected.

BY FRANK ii. SIMONDS.

The announcement that fighting Is
going on between the Turks and the
Greek army of occupation in the
Smyrna region of Asia Minor CANS
attention to one more of the unset
tied problems of the Paris CONFER
ence. OF this problem the Smyrna
episode is but one detail; actually the
difficulties begin at the European
frontiers of the old Ottoman empire
and extend to the Persian gulf- IN
this territory, far larger thah me
districts affected by the european
settlement, the rivalries of European
nations and the age-long strife be-
tween the inhabitants themselves
combine to bafflle the best intentioned
peacemakers in the world.
The present trouble between tne
Turk and the Greek oddly recalls
ancient history. More than Two thou-
sand years ago the appeal OF the
Greek colonists inhabiting the west
ern shores of Asia Minor proVoked
the Persian wars. Now the Turkish
persecution of Greeks in the same
region has been the warrant for
new Greek intervention.
But Greece herself, even with tne
increases of territory and population
acquired in the Balkan wars, is not
strong enough to defend the terri
tory she occupies against the turks
She has neither the men nor the
money, and she cannot expect her ar
mics to make head against those OF
the Osmanli. The permission given
by the great powers to Greece 10 oc-
,upy Smyrna was. it would seem
premature even concedlng the rlSh's
Of the Greeks in the premises.

NAVAL WAR RECORDS
TO.BE TRANSPLANTED
Will Be Taken to New Building
From State, War and Navy
Structure.

Orders have been given for the re-
moval of the naval library and naval
war records Office from the State, War
and Navy building to the new Navy
Department building in Potomac
Park, at 18th and B streets. The
large apartment used by the joint Of
fees is located on the top floor of the
old Navy Department wing and was
built for use as a library. 1t is
large lofty room with alcoves, shelves
and the usual library appurt enances.
Because of it's fine frescoes and fur
nishings it always has been a point
of attraction to visitors.
Outside of Secretary Daniels pri-
vate offices it is the only part of the
big granite building still in use by the
Navy Department. When that depart
ment was moved into it's new quarters
in Potomac Park various bureaus of
the State Department took possession
of the quarters vacated. The State
Department now wants the use of the
library room also, and plans have been
made to move the working force and
all the volumes and manuscripts to
new quarters in the Potomac Park
building
Charles w. Stewart, who has had
charge of the naval library and naval
war records for many years. is seri-
ously i'll at his home in this city, and
Capt. c. c. Marsh, retired. of the
Navy is in temporary charge.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS
TO FRAME PROGRAM
Will Plan Work to Be Done Before
Recess and Act as to Steering
Committee Tonight.

House republicans were notified to-
day that tonight's party conference
would consider any question pre-
sented, although discussion was ex-
pected to center about proposed en-
Iargement of the legislative steering
committee The conference will
frame a Legislative program to be
carried out before recess. permitting
some vacation, beginning late next
month.
The question of charging the
steering committee was up when the
republicans organized the House in
May, the understanding to postpone
it for future discussion being reached
to avert "A threatened fight. Support
ers of the larger committee plan pro-
posed that four men-RepreSenta
tiveS Anderson, Minnesota: Reavis, Ne
braska; Nolan, California. and Slemp,

personnel.
House leaders today asserted that
the conference would not be asked
to select any certain men. but that
additions. if made. would be by con-
ference vote. Indications were that
only two men would be added to the
committee.

WELSH MINERS REFUSE
TO JOIN ENGLISH STRIKE
High Prices, Russian Interference
and Consumption Probable Causes
of Unrest, Law Says.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, July 22.-The most hope
full feature of the coal strike situa-
ton tonight was the decision of the
Welsh miners at a conference at Car
diff not to join the Yorkshire move
ment. There was no great accession
of strength to the strike movement
today. The men on strike total about
$4,000, Yorkshire, perbyshire, Not
tingham and Monmouth, being the
counties mainly affected
Sir Eric Geddes, minister without
portfolio, who on Monday was ap-
pointed a commissioner to settle the
strike, is at Leeds, and according to
government statements will confine
himself to affording protection to men
willing to work at the pumps and
will not interfere in any way with
the actual strike movement.
Andrew Bonar Law the govern
ment spokesman, told questioner in
the house of commons today that as
far as the government was aware.
there was no particular person behind
the miners unrest and that the move
ment seemed to be a protest against
the increase in the price of coal, the
high cost of living, military inter-
ference in Russia and Consumption.
The strikers. however. appear to be
in a rather bad mood and seem to
fear that troops will follow the naval
men in an attempt to break the strike
The conference of the triple indus
trial alliance. which will be held at
Westminster tomorrow. may have an
influence on the situation
The conference will be followed by
meeting of the executive of the
miners federation, at which the stu
alton will be discussed.
