STAGE IS SEEN
WAY To ERASE
BATTLEF|ELDS
international Theaters to Keep
Mind Of Public OFF War,
Are Planned.
BY EARL l.. SHAUB,
Universal Service.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Panto-
mime will replace warfare. poison
gas will be supplanted by love
scenes, and West Point will be turn.
ed into a dramatic school If the
latest world peace plan goes through.
To promote such an achievement
another international conference
has been proposed.
The goal Of the confab Is an In
ternational theater, with branches
In all large cities of the world, each
branch to be subsidized by the gov.
ernment of the country in which 1t
is located.
Substitute the stage for the bat
tlefieid." is the cry OF the hackers
of the project
Soldiers, under the plan, would be-
come matinee idols and Red Cross
nurses chorus girls.
The scheme was originated by
Michio Itow, japanese, who oil
rects the dancing numbers in The
Pin Wheel" He has already take n
up the proposition with President
Harding and Secretary Hughes and
reports he found them interested
listeners" He also discussed il with
some OF the foreign delegations at
the Washington peace conference,
but none Of them brought 1t up IN
the official proceedings.
Under this plan" Itow is said
to have told President Harding,
"the greatest dramatic stars Of
each nation can play in every other
country and bring about world
understanding and harmony"
To show how the scheme will
bring about better international re-
lations. he said:
THE Americans do not really
know the Japanese for instance
and the Japanese do not know the
Americans II we could get better
acquainted there would be little
likelihood of friction. An interna-
tional theater would go a long way
toward bettering our relations"
A part OF the scheme calls for the
establishment of national schools OF
drama patterned after West Point.
Since the silent reception the
project received in official Wash
ington Itow had tried to arouse
the interest OF sculptors, painters
and poets all over the world and
reports the plan has struck a re.
sponsive chord.
He expects the international con.
ference will be called within two
years and says 1t will be held ir
New York.

FREDERICK, July 10.-The in

Marines. on their return march
from Gettysburg to Quantico,
bivouacked last night at Ridgeville.
The camp site at the latter place
was prepared by a corps of engt-
neers sent ahead yesterday to make
ready for the arrival of the main
body.
The artillery. however, spent
yesterday at the fair grounds and
left early today for Ridgeville. AS
the artillery moves more rapidly
than the men on foot. this part Of
the army" keeps a day in the
rear.
Hundreds of persons visited the
camp yesterday, many of whom
bid adieu to- the soldiers and wished
them a safe return home During
their two days stay in the city the
officers as well as many Of the
privates. made numerous acquaint-
ances. Last night the streets were
thronged with soldiers and no dis.
order of any kind prevailed. Citi.
zens Of the town are unanimous
that better behaved men in uniform
never visited the town.
A crowd estimated at fully 5000
attended a concert by the Marine
Band in front OF Court Park last
night. 1t was the largest open,air
concert ever held in this city and
was arranged by Gen. Smedley D.

Many persons from Thurmont
