William s. Hart at the Strand

William s. Hart brings to a close today his engagement of '"The Cradle of Courage the photoplay which has crowded the Strand to its extreme ca pacity during it's run. It is the gen. eral consensus of opinion that Hart has never had a stronger subject, a bet ter interpreted picture, or a more ap- pealing theme than is incorporated in "The Cradle of Courage"-a fact which coupled with the fact that Ann Little and Thomas Santschi are seen in prominent roles in the supporting cast makes of this picture one of thorough entertaining value and one which will
 be appreciated by everyone who sees it. The program also carries g screamingly funny comedy. Twir Crooks and the Fox News. Tomor-

 Washington. July 16.-(Special)-- IT World politics and history and Washington society will be more closely allied than ever when the conference on the limitation of ar maments and on problems involving the Pacific is held here next fall. It will mean that world figures like the British premier, Lloyd George, perhaps, and Premier Briand of France and other notables will gather here and all circles in so- ciety, official, diplomatic and resi- dential, will be wing with one an other to entertain them and to see who can give the most brilliant party. There will be entertainments at the White House and Washington will be gay, indeed. It will rival Paris during the peace conferences; will be even gayer, for the clouds of war are more thing of the past now than they were theA Wash ington is sure to be crowded, too, for each delegation to the confer ence will have their own suites with them, and then every one who can will flock to the capital to be in" on the gayety and excitement. The summer wanderers will return early to get their houses and their ward robes ready. Judging from all signs now, Washington will have social season this fall that will be long remembered.
 But even the summer season is not without it's special interests There is always some foreign mo- table in Washington to be enter tained; every week can claim at least one.

England to Kill 3O,OOO Draft Horses Now inI Mesopotamia District

London, July IG.-Horse lovers throughout the country have been shocked by Colonial Secre- tnry Winston ChurchiIrs am nouncement In the House of Com- mons that 10000 army horses in Mesopotnmia nre to he killed be- cause 1t is too expensive to bring them home.
 It was explained thnt they are mainly heavy draft horses for which there is no local use, and that they had to be fed on im- ported fodder. The nearest pos- sible markets are India or Egypt, but the difficulties and cost of transportation thence are said to be prOhibitive.
 Shipping men say 1t costs f4O to f5O to bring a horse from the east to England, not counting hOrsemen's wages.
 The war office view is that 1t is better for the horses to be killed humanely and scientffi- cally thnn to be left in the hands of natives who would not care for them properly, and no one would suggest turning them adrift in the desert.

Burleson Sees Poor Prospects to Sell
 Europe Raw Stuff
By Associated Press

Berlin, July 16.--A. S. Burleson, former United States Postmaster General, who has returned to Berlin after Investigating the commercial. industrial and financial conditions of Poland, Austria and Czecho-S -Slovakt'. is of the opinion that there is little hope of selling Europe large quan- titles of cotton and other raw ma terials until Germany and other countries of central Europe balance their budgets and make definite ar engagements to discontinue the is- suance of paper money and to retire that currency until its volume Is only three times that of their gold re- serves.
 T can't see any indication that the statesmen of central Europe are fac- ing their problems frankly ana try ing to formulate plans which get at the fundamental problems and might insure the resumption of the indus tries and the renewal of the export trade" said MT. Burleson. Tt Is not reasonable to talk about foreign loans to central Europe as long as the printing presses continue to pour out paper money without any gold guarantee or any prospect that II will be retired.
 "Germany is in far better condl- tion than the other countries of cen tral Europe. and I personally believe Germany could improve it's exchanGe situation very speedily if 1t would stop issuing paper money and levy q tax over a period of 10 years to guarantee it's retirement and the creation of a larger gold reserve Foreign bankers want to see definite plans before they take a chance on inc countries of central Europe"

Europe for the past week has been trying to figure ou] if the disarmament conference was to be the beginning of this rival or ganization and some of the stauncher supporters of the league hcve looked somewhat askance at the proposl- tion.
 The disarmament conference is just what is purports to be, and nothing else.

R. F. Merigold of Allen street and Roy Hughes of Church street em ployes of the Stanley Rule and Level company had what they considered a miraculous escape from death late last night on Stanley street
 While driving his car, Mr. Merl- gold struck a live wire which was down south of Park street on stanley street, but fortunately the wire struck the top of the car, thereby prevent ing a conductor of the juice"
 In speaking of the affair today, MT Merigold said he with Mir Hughes in his car, had turned into Stanley street fro mPleasant street, and was drN- ing along slowly, when suddenly there was a flash, and then many more cleo trtc flashes filled the air. When 1t oc- cured to him that a live wire was down, his next effort was to get the car to the side of the road, without having the wire touch any of the metal parts of the machine.
 The men found that the wire was down for considerable distance, and 1t appeared to be red hot. Knowing that other persons would in all proD- ability be passing the scene before the Connecticut company officials could be notified, MT, Merigold and Mr, Hughes stationed themselves at different places and warned autoists and pedestrians of the danger. Ex- animation of the automobile today showed that the woodwork was dam aged.

Federal agents have returned a Hupmobu roadster to A M. Pao- nessa which they seized more than a year ago from August Pollock after he had been caught in the act of transporting 12o gallons of alleged liquor.
 Pollock. a former local retail dry goods man. went into the wetgoods business. according to allegations of the federal officials, and was appre hended while he was carrying alcohol near New Haven. The car was seized and held for auction at New Haven.
 Since the vehicle had been sold on a conditional bill of sale, Paonessa retaining title he petitioned for it's return. A bond of $500 was posted by the local man and the auction held up temporarily. The local auto mobile man then petitioned the United States district court at Hart ford for reimbursement, and he was notided yesterday that the car is re turned to him free of encumbrances.
