IN BEHIND
DEMPSEY

The growing dissatisfaction OF the
public with the attitude now main
tanned by Jack Dempsey in his re-
fusal to fight Harry Wills is voiced
by an editorial in the Chicago Tribune,
as follows;
Ring Lardner has an amusing story
in last weeks Saturday Evening Post.
He calls it The Battle OF the Cen
fury" There may be considerably
less fiction in it than there is in Pres
colts Conquest of Mexico" or Wells
Outline of History 1t may be the
inside story of the Dempsey-Carpe
tier fight Jim Dugan is Dempsey
Goulct is Carpenter, etc. What, any
way, made Ring Lardncr think he was
improving on the names9
rs fiction he presents the following
as fact: Dempsey and his manager did
not make enough money out of the
Willard fight to pay for Chinaman's
personal laundry. They did not care
Tor glory. They wanted coin. There
was no one to fight for coin, because
there was no one in the game who
could be built up to draw gate.
Carpenter knocked Joe Beckett
silly in seventeen seconds, and Demp-
sey's manager saw that the champion
OF Europe could be built up. He was
built up, although Dempsey thought it
was murder and wanted to know why
they didn't put Benny Leonard in the
ring with him. That at least would
keep the 100000 guaranty to the loser
at home in America instead of sending
it abroad The preliminarcs were
built up, Carpenter was built up,
Tex Richard was built up, the New
Jersey arena was built up, and the gate
was built up The main thing the
Dempsey bank roll, was built up.
All these were man-madc buildups.
Nature built up something which
Dempsey and his manager might see
in daylight even if it were invisible in
the dark. Its name is Willis, profess
sion the same as Jacks, prize fighter
object the same, to fight and make
money; race different. He is black,
but he is good. The Dempsey man
agement need not worry about the
gate for this fright. 1t will be good
better than they can build up for the
gate for the cobless cornstalk, Willard
The only reason Kearns hesitates is
for fear he'll lose his meal ticket.

needed will be forthcoming and that
the money that is necessary to main

do with the help of us all, to make

"Habit"

Statistics recently gathered by d motion picture journal showed that the vast majority of screen patrons when sounded as to their preferences declared unanimously in favor of emo tional dramas. Therefore the man. agement of the Lyric theatre has se- cured as the next attraction, Habit" So popular in theme and so full of dra- ma is Habit that it is head and shoulders above the ordinary screen drama written by sGme unknown scenario writer. It fairly snaps and sparkles with clever lines and tense situations. It is superbly mounted and spiendidly enacted by a well bal anced cast, including Mildred Harris. It tells of the evil of allowing habit to enslave us. It deals with the for bidden fruit of desire with swift bold strokes that carry the spectator breathlessly to the conclusion.
 Perhaps the scenes of most inter- est to women are those in the atelier of a fifth Avenue importer and design er, where models wearing a hundred thousand dollars worth of furs and fur bellows parade.

fixed at 73 cents today by the state tax commission. Last years rate was AT 1-2 cents.
 The total valuation of property in the state was fixed by the commis- sion at SS30,000,0O0 as compared with $So4 100000 last year. Members of the commission explained that the re- auction m the assessed valuation was responsible for part of the increase in the rate of the tax levy. They said that had the assessed valuation re- manned at SSS4,000,O00 this year, the rate would only have had to have been 53 cents.
 The commission fixed the rate to- day after it had received a ruling from the attorney generals office de- ciaring that the commission had to in- cIuae in the tax levy items appropri- ated by the legislature for the state fair even though the governor has can celled the fair.
 The opinion on this question was requested by the commission Satur- day after J. 2. Darcey, deputy state auditor, had appeared before the con- mission and asked that it make no levy to raise the S57,000 appropria- ton of the fifth legislature for the fair.
 "We do not know" said the opinion 'of any law by which the state tax commission, in fixing such tax rate, has any power or authority to assume that an appropriation made by the legislature may be ignored, and it is our opinion that the commission must be governed in establishing such rate by the will of the legislature, so far as the same may be determined from the acts and appropriations of the legislature"

"Uncharreo Seas"

An unforgettable picture - that is the correct valuation of "Uncharted Seas" the picture adapted from the virile pen of John Fleming Wilson, which opens tonight at the Eagle theatre.
 It is startling and beautiful, packed with thrills that succeed each other in a crescando of interest; the stark ap- parel of the frozen north, the locale where the principals act out their drama, is gripping. And the delft act ing of Alice Lake, lifts the picture far above the average.
 It is no exaggeration to say that "Uncharted Seas" is unique and will long be unapproached. The story, which originally appeared in Nun says Magazine, is of three characters sent to Behring Straits to find an abandoned vessel holding ten millions of Klondike gold, and thus test a mans character to discover whether his cowardice holds an alloy of cour- age. The wife, the craven husband and the sincere admirer furnish the triangle. s
 The splendid direction is due to Wesley Ruggles. The supporting cast includes Rudolph Valentine, who act ed in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' Carl Gerard, Fred Fur ner, Charles Mailes and Rhea Haines. George Elwood Jenks adapted the story, John B. Seitz photographed, and John Holden designed and execut- ed the art interiors.

 Suppose, though, for sake ot iie ar sument, the United States should be Attacked suddenly and without warn ing. Suppose surprise landings vhould be made in the Philippine Islands. Suppose even, Mania should be taken before we could strike back effectively.
 What then?
 Tt would be up to the nay.
 If the evemy won the sea fight, the islands would remain in their hands, as matter of course.
 If we won, they would have to get out, equally as matter of course. With all communications cut what else could they do but quit?
 Dewey had the proper idea in 1898. Did he try to capture the Philippines by surprise landing par ties? Never. He went after the Spanish fleet, and got it. After that the rest was easy.
 Any potential enemy of Uncle Sam today, if he wanted to do to the United States what the United States did to Spain, would follow pretty closely the Dewey idea. He would go after the navy first Pacific Conference
 Keen observers here agree on this ::
 President Harding cannot solve the Philippine problem until he obtains showdown on the part of the big ppwers interested in the Pacific.
 As part of America's armament in the Pacific, the Philippines must be considered just as the navy is con sidered.

Philippine Problem Can't Be Settled
 Before Showdown On Disarmament
BY VIM. PHILIP SIMMS

MANILA, Aug. s. - am able to state on absolutely reliable authority that Japanese have recently been seen visiting F'uga, Bataan and other islands of the Philippines.
 That in some cases they carried surveying instruments and when questioned by the natives, replied they were Hooking for gold
 That the points visited by the Jap anese were thinly populated and of little or no economic or political value
 Fuga is between the Philippines and Formosa, belonging to Japan.
 What constituted the real motive behind these visits can only be con- jectured, but that the Japanese are intensely interested in the islands defenses and that they consider the Philippines the American vanguard for whatever Far Eastern contingent cies that may occur is admitted.
 Part of Armament
 Although Major General Leonard Wood, now in the Philippines, Is heep- ing hls own counsel there is every req son to believe he has 1een made ac Quainteu with these facts.
  has visited the points where i:Ie jap anese were seen. This may or may not be a coincidence.
 It is giving away no secrets to say that mlIItary and naval circles con- slider the Philippines as much part of the armament of the United States as the Pacific fleet and that uniii general disarmament agreement can be arrived at among the great powers they must be studied with an eye to offense and defense.
 He would be a very poor medium who failed to get the impression that General Wood and his aids Will ne glect no opportunities whne here.
 Are Islands Peril?
 The strategic value of the Philip pine Islands 10 the united States Tn the event of war with d Far Eastern power, is a mooted question out here.
 The two groups might be called the 'scrappers" anu the 'alarmists.'
 The alarmlsts declare the Phili- pines would be d source of peril to the United States in case of war, and whisper that it is already question of whether it would not be wise policy to announce to the world that no attempt would be made to defend the islands against attack. This, they say, would guard the least possible embarrassment and loss Of prestige.
 The best military minds brand such conversation as pitfle.
 The Philippines would be to the Unred States, Ii complelled to wage war in the orient, what Cologne, l CoblenZ and other RhIneland bridge heads are to the Allies in dealing with Germany.
 Fuicrum of Power In so far as they would be Ameri- ca's advance post, the post nearest the fighting, they would naturally be i'll a position of danger, Just as any salient jutting into enemy country is Properly organized, and properly defended, military men generally agree, the islands would be q source of strength d point d'appui, the ful- Crum, for Americas major operations in this part of the world.

cd on top of the sea, the islands would be d valuable asset.
 AIarmist View
 Alarmists say the islands would be impossible to defend.
 They assert a strong enemy could land a force at Lingayen, Dagupan and San Fabian, at the bottom of the Lingayen Gulf, Luzon, and march southwaId on Manila, following the valley of the Ango river and using the highways and the railroads.
 A second force, they declare, might land south of Manila, on the Pacific coast, say at Lamon Bay, and, via railways and dirt roads, advance on the capital.
 Two such converging forces, they argue, might easily make Manila un- tenable.
