PLAY TONIGHT SUCCESSOR TO
 SHORE ACRES

Successor to Shore Acres" and "Way Down East" in the classical character of it's theme and story, the First National production "The Price of Innocence" featuring Stella Talbot, Broadway's newest star, will be seen tonight only at the Empress.
 Like the two famous plays of the dramatic stage, this screen story is folks" Its locale is Goose Island, " folks" ts locale is Goose Island" "squatter" settlement off the coast of Maine. Here, in the midst of a quiet and peaceful community of quaint characters, stalks drama and tragedy, tempered with humor that springs from the reflex of their cynic- ism and narrowness.
 An added attraction for tonight is the two reel Mack Sennett comedy "Village Chestnut" Your old favor ties Louise Fazenda, Chester Conklin, Myrtle Lind and Paddy McQuire have joined in making this screaming comedy, all pep and laughs, rapid in action, and with one of the funniest climaxes that Sennett, comedy king of the screen, has ever achieved.
 Tomorrow night only, Vivian Martin, with her quaint and whimsical charm, in a delightful comedy drama, His Official Fiancee." Those who have read the charming little book of the same title, will appreciate the pleas ure in store through its filming, with so attractive star as Miss Martin in the leading role, and with Forrest Stanley as her support.
 Vivian Martin has been cast in many roles-kid parts, nick parts, as sentimental school girl and society bud, but never before in a story so exactly suited to her charm, and af' fording such fascinating opportunities to display her beauty style and snap
 But the big, special treat in store for Empress fans, will be the showing this week, of Cecil B. DeMille's great est and most sensational production; "Why Change Your Wife?"
 Perhaps no other play of the year created as much discussion as did this super-picture.
 DeMille thinks that the averals" wife's idea of relaxation for her hus band is to. let him share whatever en' tertainment she enjoys. But-a hus band hates to have his soul improved too soon after dinner.
 "A man would rather have his wife for a sweetheart than any other wo man. But ladies-df you would be your husbands sweetheart, you simply MUST learn when to forget that you're his wife. Angels are often dead husbands, but husbands are sel dofl live angels. Wives know this
 but they cant get used to it.
 Take it from us, there are many pointers to both husbands and wives in ''Why Change Your Wife?"

"There is another chance that at the

ton our government may force action

cal warfare. Both arc things that the
United States has failed to study and
decide upon, but things upon which
every American citizen should be in
sstent, so that Americas representa-
tives at the conference may make nc
tragic errors. 1t is high time, nov
that the conference approaches, that
we should take thought Of them.
Russia Has Unlimited
Chemical Resources
They are being thought of else
where. On October %, 1919, was is
sued an especial edition Of the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung for the purpose IF
the restoration and development Of
trade relations between Germany and
Boshevist Russia" This special edi.
ton was particularly announced as
carrying political as we'll as CONNER

two years of the signing of the peace
treaty. No time was lost. And, fam
inc or no famine, Russia has unlimited
natural chemical resources
"These natural resources are quite
sulnclenc TO supply all the German
chemical plants, through American in
f1uence left intact by the treaty, with
all that they might need in case Of d
new war by means of which Germany
and Russia, with possibly Asiatic al
lies, might endeavor to recoup the
losses Of the recent disastrous struggle
"1n the various chemical plants, es-
pccially in the dye plants. which thus
by the treaty through American in
fuence were left intact, official
records show that Germany manufac
tured all her gas and the greater por-
ton of her explosives during the re-
cent war. The treaty provision that
she must not use them now for the
manufacture of gas Germany can
laugh at, for. naturally, no treaty

which is not chemically armed cannot
be equipped for modern industry,
therefore prosperity in these days i'm
plies possession of facilities which
quickly can be metamorphoscd into
facilities for chemical warfare. This
leads to an extraordinary conclusion
perhaps not reassurng TO the advc-
Gates of peace. To render q modern
nation incapable of waging war would
be to render it incapable of conducting
modern industry. Therefore, dsarma-
ment, in the old sense of destruction
of navies and disarmament of armies,
to-day would not be, in actually, dis
armament at all.
Chemical Armament Means
Thorough Industrial Plants
What does chemical armament
mean? 1t means q nations possession
not OF vast government plants devoted
primarily and exclusively to the pre-
duction of chemical munitions of war.
but nations possession of a great
chemical industry, complete in all its
branches Commercially completely, eff

Such to-day is the equipment of
Germany, barring, perhaps, possession
OF a few raw materials not by anv
means wholly inaccessible to her and
which, conceivably, she may be storing
at this minute in spite of all the ef-
forts of the Allies at the peace con-
ference to render her incapable of
conducting future warfare.
ut is we'll for the lay mind fully to
grasp this fact. Germany was not dis
armed by the peace treaty, nor, indeed.
was the problem of disarming Germany
FULLY grasped by the Allies in attend
ance at the conference.
AS modern war presented problems
which, at the beginning Of the strugele.
were not understood by the complaints,
so modern peace presented problems
which were not understood by the dele
gates to Versailles
Germany, we will assume, lacks cer-
tain raw materials. Well, suppose that
IN the next few years the raw material
OF Russia shall become available to
Germany, then Germanys chemical
equipment for warfare will be abso-
lutely complete. The same would be
true of Japan, ill-equipped as her small
territory, with slight natural resources.

possibilities. Geographically the

as now maintained are probable in

sure incitant of future commercial war

ton and Of governmental sanction of

rent to American ideals OF healthy in

expect it to be taken up and handled

Chemical Industry
Means " ar Potentially
"The existence Of 8 great chemical
industry means the existence of great
potentalties of gas warfare The ex-
istence Of an industry equipped to
manufacture mighty guns is far less
important. Our own General Mitchell
has demonstrated, first by argument
and then by the tests at Hampton
Roads, the effectiveness of explosive
bombs independent of guns, great or
small, if, indeed, after the air raids of
the German Zeppelins and airplanes
during the war, such a demonstration
could be held as necessary.
"1n the tests at Hampton Roads one
opportunity which had been called to
the attention of the government was
neglected. The ships might have been
filled with animal life, as rats, etc, and
before the attacks designed for the de-
struction Of the vessels, experiments
might have been made, the results of
which would have been indicative of
the possibility of destroying life on
.warships by toxic or poison gas bombs
without actual destruction Of the war
ships
at is my belief that chemical war
fare might find this easier than the
actual destruction Of a ship. General
Mitchell is right in his contention that
airplancs in the next war will have
enormous power Of dealing death to
both the military and civilian popula-
lions Of an enemy through the dis
tribution Of poison gases dropped from
airplancs in bombs or otherwise-pos
sibilities inevitably associated with
highly developed chemical productive
equipment. Elimination of an enemy's
battleships, forts and guns is no longer

nation the effectiveness of its dye in
dustry takes upon himself grave re-
sponsibility. If there be those who
doubt the magnitude of the capacity
of the German dye works in terms of
high explosives and war gases they
may note certain facts. The Germans
themselves at the time of visits by
mitted a capacity for the then existing
dye plants, which in terms of shell
manufacture would mean in one week
three and sixty-four one hundredths
four -hundredths times more gas
than would fill the entire shell stocks
allowed to Germany by the treaty for
year. Startling? Yes. If both high
explosive and gas shells were to be
filled in the proportion which held dur
ing the last days of the war the entire
amount allowed by treaty to Germany
for years production might be sup
Piled by her existing capacity without
expansion in one day and six-tenths.
$50 it is obvious that at the disarma-
ment conference at Washington the
question, of chemical disarmament
should be taken very seriously into
cons iderat' Oh.
There are men in the American
government service fully qualified to
give effici. Ut and confidential advice
to our rep esentatives and statesmen,
and these gentlemen should get this
whole matter clearly and firmly fixed
in their minds from sources fully at
their command. Indifference of the
American public to a situation of this
kind must be broken down in some
way. / am no alarmist, but the situa-
ton really is serious.
United States Must Have
Self-Sustaining Dye Industry
"And whatever may be the outcome
of the disarmament conference, this
country must possess a completely
selfsustaining dye industry. The
most powerful factor in influencing
Germany to give up her fight and sign
the armistice was her clear knowledge
OF the tremendous preparations which
had been made in the United States
to pour out over the German armies in
the spring of 1919 such q deluge of
poison gas, particularly mustard gas,
as would have decided the war utterly
regardless of our man-power. More
than year was consumed in erecting
the plant at Edgewood Arsenal and in
supplementing this program so largely
by the mustard gas plants erected at
our newly located dye plants in BUT
falo, Hastings on-H Hudson and Midland.
Michigan. Our delay in getting this
material ready, due to the fact that
we had no great organic chemical in
dustry, cost thousands of American
and Allied lives.
Before the war we had made no
chemical preparations, and Immediate
ly after the armistice we began prepa-
rations for our old time unprepared-
ness. Americas operations, under way
on an enormous scale, instantly were
stopped, instead of being forthwith
converted into industrial facilities.
ready, like those of the Germans, for
reconversion at any special time. Pro-
vision for the quick creation Of SINH
lar facilities and the maintenance Of
this provision in continual readiness
might easily prevent another war.
Yet in the game OF politics as it
IS played at Washington, the danger
is apparent that this whole matter may
be sacrificed. That would be calam-
ity the magnitude of which the nation
