MOVIE 1 E

William A. Brady's picture produc. | tion of Life" based on Thompson
 Bucfanana's stage success, caught on in fine shape at the Empress the ater last night. An excellent sample of the melodamatic stories which were all the rage some years ago, Life has qualities which should make it quite acceptable to all classes of motion picture fans. One watches the vain struggle of an in nocent man accused of crime to es- cape the fate that menaces him, with tremendous interest, and whom ri- faithful wife, after many Jam tfc incidents, succeeds in freeing him from legal execution and brings the guilty ones to justice, one leans hack and frankly admits his joy at her victory. The picture Is well pro- duced and the direction was excel lent.
 "Over the Hill," the wonder picture Of Broadway. that easily outdis anced every other screen presentation in the matter of continuous run in New York and is now arousing enthusi- asm throughout the country. will be seen at the Empress Theater soon.
 "Over the Hill' is an extraordinary picture. It does not depend upon the eternal triangle for it's sustained in- terest Nor require mob scenes to bolster up shortcomings in plot. There is something 50 sweet and wholesome and interesting in the story that the blase New Yorker, so particular and discriminating in his choice of theatrical entertain ment, saw fit to give it his steady patronage and unqualified enthusi- asm for solid year on its initial run.

ROBBERY REPORTED
 AT NEW OIL TOWN

Recent arrivals from the new oil town of Kanatak, report that sneak thief entered the home of Madam Re- nio recently while the owner and the rest of the population were attending a dance, and stole jewelry valued at s1,OOO. A mass meeting was called when the theft was reported and two committees were appointed to search the town and the baggage of all those about to leave. Before the search had progressed very far, the stolen jewel " was found in a vacant cabin, but the identity of the thief was not as- 1certained.

LONDON, Dec. 29.-"If the Darda. nelles had not been closed to the Turks" says the Right Hon. H. A. l.. Fisher, ex-minister of education, in a plea for the Freedom of the Straits, mankind would have been saved two years of war, with it's huge fund of suffering and material damage.
 Tt Is not therefore sole British interest that steps should be taken to avert the repetition of disaster of which we have so very recent and painful memory. It is an interest for civilization, for humanity as a whole.
 For World 0urantee
 Great Britain does not seek a new Gibraltar. One Gibraltar Is enough. It has never been suggested in any quarter that the guardian ship of the Straits should be en- trusted to Great Britain. Any great European power placed in such a position would attract to itself the envies and hostilities of the world.
 q contend that no peace should be made with Turkey which does not make provision for the freedom of the Straits under some system of international guarantee. The free dom of the waterway should be guaranteed and protected, not by a single state, but by body of states, and preferably by the League of Ma tions, should the league be willing to accept the responsibility.
 "It is objected that, under condi- tions of modern warfare, the power which control Tonstantinople will always be able i1 block the Straits by the use of ,Aines or other de- vices, and that consequently nothing is gained by the establishment of a cumbrous and possibly expensive ma chinery for policing neutral zone on either side of the waterway.
 "But does it follow that nothing is gained by placing the Freedom of the Straits under an international guarantee? There are many sins which a country might commit were no penalty attached to their commits sion, but from which it would recoil if the sequel of sin were certain punishment.

world against outbursts of political insanity. There are madcaps and wreckers everywhere. But given the normal canons of polical prudence the Freedom of the Straits is clear ly safer with, than without, an in, ternational guarantee.
 Tt is also objected that such an arrangement is likely to be regarded by the Turks as so humiliating that to insist upon 1t would involve us in another war. Field Marshal Sir William Robertson has even asked How would you like the Thames to be open to foreign warships?'
 World Property
 But the Straits are not the Thames. The Thames is national river. The Straits are international. The Thames leads up to the Cotswold Hills. The Straits lead to the Black Sea and on to ports around it.
 'Tt is, of course, urgently to be desired that we should make good peace with the Turks. The whole world has need of peace, and no diplomacy can be sound which car ries with 1t the germ of certain dis orders in the future. The interna- tionalization of the Straits does not offend against that principle.
 Let Turks In
 "The suggestion Is not that the Straits should be fortified against the Turks, but that they should be demilitarized under the joint guar antee of the powers interested (among whom the Turks themselves would be numbered) or the League of Nations, to which the Turks, upon application, would be admitted. For this there would be no humiliation or affront offered to the Turks. The powers of the world simply maintain circumstances to make free use of a great international waterway.
 "To Great Britain, depending upon sea-borne food for the maintenance of a huge industrial population, an uninterrupted access to the granaries of Rumania and Southern Russia will always be an important, even vital issue. That lesson was learned dur ing the war, and no valid reason has yet been adduced why we should m memories'' .tr -.......r. 20

1. V. ". TO START DRIVE FOR 6-
 H0URDAY

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.--A gigantic ed ucational campaign to impress upon workers of the United States the "jus- tice and iogic' of the six-hour day has just been inaugurated by the In- dustrial Workers of the World. The campaign follows up unanimous vote in favor ot the six-hour day reg istered at the fourteenth general con- vention of the I. W. w. here recently.
 "The Industrial Workers of the World advocate six-hour day because it is economically sound and socially just" declared E. w. Latchem, gener- al secretary treasurer pro tenn, in an- nouncing the organizations plans. "In that period, with every able person working with hands or brain, 1t would be possible to produce all the con- modities necessary to feed, clothe and shelter the population of the world"
 Coming immediately after an ex- pression from President Harding that he favors abolition of the twelve-hour day, the drive of the l. w. W. takes on added significance Leaders of that organization do not fully approve the Presidents utterances, however. In fact, they charge they were utter ances of expediency.
 Harding Criticized
 Secretary-treasurer Latchem was es- pecially bitter in his comments.
 "Mr. Harding's statement is iden- tical in substance with what the in- dustrial masters of England asserted 50 years ago when they realized that they could get more work out of the producing class in an eight-hour day than in twelve hours" he charged the English overlords did, for he fails to say that the working day should be cut to ten hours or to eight hours.
 He simply favors abolition of the twelve-hour day to ameliorate so- cial error and lets it go at that. On it's face this piece of Presidential propaganda is calculated to lead only to the cutting of the workday as little as possible, perhaps only to eleven hours"
 Leaders of the l. w. w. movement for the shortened workday are not deluded into thinking the change can be brought about within short space of time, they assert. They believe, however, that if they can educate the workers to the justice of the plan the employers will have to fall in line.
 Drive Planned
 To that end the country is to be flooded with circulars, pamphlets, leaflets and bulletins, issued from big educational bureau here.
 The bureau also will work in CO., operation with the Peoples College at Duluth, Minn., essentially Fin mist instrtution, but now in position to aid all workers with correspondence courses,
 Among other things it will be point ed out to the workers that they are being exploited by the industrial mag mates who manage always to have big surplus of workers which they may use or sweep aside at will" that the six-hour day would eliminate un- employment, and that the shorter workday would give them leisure in which to enjoy life and recuperate , 4h o;r io dod nhusical and mental fOrceS
