TROOPS MAY LEAVE
THE PHILIPPINES
United States May Abandon
Military Defense of the ISL
ands Before Very Long.
fsx The Assoelatsd Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Military de-
Tense Of the Philippines may be complete
ly abandoned by the United States even
before ratification of the four power
Pacific treaty. The step is known to be
under consideration in the War Depart
ment. IF 1t is carried out under pressure
for further reduction of, the strength Of
the army the garrison which has been
maintained in the islands for defensive
purposes ever since the first American
troops landed under Dewey's guns in 1898
will be cut to no more than q police force
to support the authority of the insular
government.
Should this policy be finally adopted,
it will be based on the contention that
the treaty guarantees the security OF the
islands from attack by any signatory
power and that they should be left to the
protection of international good faith. As
an evidence of its own complete good
faith, such action by the United States,
it was said, would have striking empha-
sis. The possibility of aggression against
the islands by any nop-signatory power
is regarded as so remote as not to de-
serve consideration.

FILMED BLIZZARD
FOR MOVIE PLAY
sway Down East" Has Only One Ever
Taken by cameraman for Film
Play.

There is one real actor in D. W.
Griffith's master film play. Way
Down East" which is to be shown at
the Isis theatre, beginning Monday,
who win never appear in any other
film. This was an old-fashioned
down east blizzard.
It win probably not be surprise to
anyone who sees sway Down East" to
know that the big storm in which Anna
was lost was a real stoFm-the first
one ever put on any screen.
In the old play the outraged squire
sent the heroine out into the storm
when he learns of her hapless past"
Mr.. Griffith had been able to buy So
ciety drawing ron1s in toto. He had
transplanted an old New England town
with the real natives thereof. He had
imported old New England sleighing
parties and real country dances and
real country fiddiers; but there seemed
not to be any bIizzards in the market.
With his scrupulous fidelity to detail
Mr. Griffith scorned the usual wind
machine devices.
His staff hopefully telephoned all
! over the country plaintively inquiring
for billiards., but every section report
ed the balm of the South Seas. Mr..
Griffith had just about decided that
billiards. had become extinct with the
dodo and the saloon when q regular old
bowler hit the studio.
It was like the bell changing gen.
eral alarm in a fire engine house and
camera men began pouring out the
studio on the run. A limousine labored
up the road through a binding storm
and disgorged Miss Gish, who had not
waited to be called.
All day long they fought that vi
cious old storm into the film. Working
by turns, four husky property men
held down the legs Of tripods while
Bilev Bitter and Hendrick SartoV
turned the camera crank.
Out in the teeth of the blast stood
an Esquimau- looking figure nuffled
in five overcoats. When the figure
turned, the features of D. w. Griffith
were disclosed underneath the hood.
In the fury Of the bowling storm his
words were lost, SO he had to direct the
storm scene with weird gestures of a
muffled-up arm.
To the eye, Miss Lillian Gish looks
to be shrinking, delicate, ethereal lit
tie creature; but she showed that day
the pluck Of champion.
Mr.. Griffith suffered frozen face,
two or three camera men were blown
over and buried In the snow-but they
got the only real blizzard ever filmed

of America in convention, now In ses-
sion here, by an almost unanimous

ratified and the public has taken the
time to study them it VIII discover that
the miners are doing everything in
their power to be fair and to avoid any

pect, as q. matter of course, that the
operators viii DO as fair with the pub
lie as we are"

Philadelphia, April 2S (By Asso- ciated Press) Done of the greatest armies of athletes that ever partici- pated in an athletic event in America was here today for the annual relay carnival of the University of Penn sylvania, which opened this afternoon at Franklin Field.
