u. S. MAY USE
BIG CLUB ON
BRITISH SHIPS
Fair Treatment of American
Merchant Marine to Be
Demanded.

WASHINGTON, Aug. L. Shipping
Board representatives will confer with
British ship owners In London Tuesday IN
an effort to obtain fair treatment for
American merchant vessels in the award
Of trade privileges in foreign ports
In making this announcement the board
said Captain Ferris, the district manager
at London, had been instructed to make
strong representations particularly
against alleged discrimination in the
awarding of contracts for. carrying Egyp
tan cotton to British and American ports,
SEEK EQUAL
FOOTING.
It was considered probable, however.
that the conference would have a still
broad aspect, and that the board would
insist that it's vessels have equal footing
with British ships in the awarding Of
contracts for the transport Of all classes
Of freight.
The board is understood to have COM
planned to British shipping lines that
American vessels had been denied car
goes of Egyptian cotton, although in
many instances their bids were lower
than those of British shipg, which got
the contracts. Captain Ferris is under
stood to have instructions not only to
protest against such discrimination, but
to insist that half of both the direct
and indirect cotton shipments be carried
in American bottoms.
THREATS OF
REPRISAL.
In negotiating with British shipping
interests, officials here say, the board
probably will take the position that II
the vessels are not assured fair treatment
it may be deemed advisable to invoke
retaliatory mca sures as provided for by
the merchant marine act.
Chairman Lasker has discussed with
Eugene Meyer, director Of the War FL
nance Corporation, the providing Of sd-
ditiOnal tonnage for American ships. MI
Lssker was said TO have urged that the
finance corporation, in advancing funds
for export Of American goods, stipulate
that they be shipped in American vessels.

graphs. But you see you can't tell
great deal from picture OF a person
you know yourself that sometimes pic
ture will look like a person, and yet 1t
won: look like them, either. And es-
pectally if you are considering some one
as a screen possibility, you have to see
them, If you are to form an opinion of
their ability and of whether they win
screen well or not.
There's another thing TO consider, too.
AS a rule. when people are wanted for
q picture, they are wanted in a great
hurry. They must be right on the
ground, so that a phone call will reach
them. They may be asked TO report at
the studio in an hour Now, you can
readily see that if you are even hun
bred miles away and some one else is
right on the ground, there isn't much
chance of your getting the engagement.
II you really want to get into pictures
you must make a business Of It. You
must either be able to earn your living
in one Of the cities where picture max
mig goes on, or you must have money
enough to live on while you are getting
started. There1l be plenty OF things that
are hard for you to face, things like
encouragement and disappointment and
all the rest of the bugbears that face tbs
aspirant for hOnOrs on the screen. with
out your adding the burden Of not hav-
ing money enough to see you through.
One more thing, I would strongly ad
wise against any one trying to break into
pictures just now. For various reasons,
many Of the Independent producers and
big producing organizations are cutting
down on their releases just now, and sew
eral OF the studios are closed altogether.
In New York, for instance. there is not
great deal OF work being done. al
though most Of the studios are open We
are making a picture at the Griffith Stu
dos. and yitagraph Fox and Selznick are
all producing The big Famous Players
Lasky studio. at Long Island City, is
open. but ono hears frequently that soon
it will be closed So this really isn't
a good time to try to break in, and ia
advise any one who thinks of doing II to
stay home and save money this summer,
and postpone making the attempt until
things have picked up a bit.

I'm the first place, it must be

The landing is accomp Hshed by
sailing the ships into the wind at
great speed and by having the
planes alight against the wind and
with the speed Of the ship. Thereby

their running OFF tho ship when
landing. These carrier ships can be

Furthermore. the carrier ships

as far ~ zoo miles 20 attack an

planes can get back Furthermore,
they can send the planes in such

Never Has Been Done.
"Now, whether the airplanes can
actually sink a capital ship, with
all IT'S armor. both above and below

never been done yet, as everybody
knows The only recent rests we
have made have been on the In
