Moving Pictures First
Presented 1900 Years AGO

London, Sept s--The earliest idea
Of a moving picture was recorded in
the time OF Confucius, the sChinese
philosopher who lived 500 years be-
fore Christ. At least this is the de-
duction drawn from his studies into
the question by Will Day, a WE'LL
known figure in the English film
world, who has exhibited in London

picture from the first primitive idea
to its present form.
The shadow shows" of the time of
Confucius are the first of all known
endeavors to present animated pic
lures. From this early time. how
ever, there was a long period of in
activity in development for the next
record Of progressive achievement is
found in 1916, when Athanasius
kircher published a book in Latin
entitled "Ars Magnalycus ct Umbrae"

today by Senator Cameron. Repub-
lican of Arizona. The measure pro-
vides for the withdrawal by the gov

veterans bureau OF 200 men under

over the project.
The land to be reserved for the
former service men is in the Mesa

WASHINGTON. March %. The
house gave it's approval today to a
provision OF the army appropriation
bill which would require the reduce
ton by July of the regular army
enlisted strength to 115.000 men and
then proceeded to enter upon pro-
longed discussion of whether con-
gress should direct the return to the
United States of certain troops sta
toned in China, Hawaii, the Panama
canal zone and on the Rhine. Sec
retary Weeks has already ordered the
withdrawal of the troops from the
Rhine
The bill provides that before the
beginning of the coming fiscal year
approximately $500 troops stationed
in Hawaii: 1000 men on duty in the
canal zone and the entire force or
900 garrisoned in China. as well as
all but 500 men and officers in the
army Of occupation in Germany. must
be brought back to continental
United States. Representative Car

raised a point Of order against the
provision on the ground that con-
gress was attempting to usurp the
power of the President to direct
troop movement. The point OF order
however was overruled by Rep
res4ntative Longworth. Republican of
Ohio. presiding, who declared that
white he did SO with personal re-
gret," he believed congress in ap-
propriating for maintenance OF
troops could properly place such linn
itations on the President and war
department
A motion to eliminate the provision
from the bill was then made by
Representative Rogers. Republican Of
Massachusetts,, but the house ad-
iourned before a vote was taken.
The bill viii be taken up again
Friday.
After extending discussion the
house by decisive f11ajorities rejected
an amendment which would have
fixed the maximum enlisted strength
at levels other than the $4,000 rec
commended by the SUBJ committee
which framed the bill. Chairman
Kahn Of the military affairs COM
nittee proposed that pay be pro-
vided for I43,0O0 men. exclusive Of
1000 Philippine scouts.
Mr. Kahn said he wanted an army
large enough to cope with any stu
alton. Declaring that the United
States was not really at peace with
Mexico, he added that I'VE also have
q situation in the west which may
lead to trouble
At the outset today the house voted
down a series of amendments which
would have increased the $250,00 car
ried for the officers reserve corps to
amounts as high as $4,000, 600. "

Per Cent Since IA

CHICAGO, Mar 22-The average
increase in cost or coal at the mine
since 1914 had been 105 per cent, ac-
cording OF replies to a QUESTIONABLE
sent to nearly 400 consumers with an
approximate annual consumption of
12,000,000 tons OF soft coal. The
QUESTIONABLE was sent by a special
coal committee of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' association, which today
made public its report. The percent
age of increase varied from 80 TO
between 800 and 400 per cent.
The high cost OF coal, the commit
tee said, was due to the high cost of
mining in which the following fact
ors were found to enter:
War time wages OF miners. consti-
tuting nearly 10 per cent OF the oper-
ating cost; voluntary absenteeisn of
miners. operators claiming 1t now
