and listened to an able address in
which Mr.. Conn paid fine tribute
to the memory of the Father of His
Country and to those intellectual

WAR DRAMA TO
REPRESENTED
HERE TONIGHT
Interesting Play to be Pre-
sented at the City Audi
tOrium Here

"Inside the Lines" a war drama,
will be presented at the city Audi
torium tonight by cast Of "a James,
town people, coming here under the
auspices of the American Legion
Auxiliary. The play was presented
with marked success in jamestown.
"Inside the Lines is war drama,
combining mystery and comedy.
While it was given in jamestown as
home talent play, it attracted many
people from other towns who did not
know members of the cast, and many
travelling men. These people report
ed that the play was presented as
we'll as if by professional cast, and
was intensely interesting from start
to finish. The remarkable success in
jamestown inspired the Legion Aux
iliary to bring the-play to Bismarck.
1t will be taken to Valley City, on
March II, the play to be given under
the auspices of the Edgar Fisher
Post, to raise funds to help enter
tain the state convention.
The jamestown cast of "a arrived
this noon, and members will be en-
tertained in homes of ex-service men
and others.
The scene of Inside the Lines" is
laid at Gibraltar, after the war
broke out in 1914, and deals with the
efforts of Americans to get home.
The mystery story holds the audience
spell bound and has been compared
to "The Bat" in this quality. The
advance seat sale has been good, and
big crowd is, expected.

WILBUR'S STATEMENT

Washington, Feb. 24.-By a vote
of five to one, the House Military
Aircraft Committee today reversed
its decision Of last Saturday and de-
cided to reopen hearings next Thurs.
day.
The only explanation of today's ac-
tion given by committee members re-
lated to committee finances. 1t was
said that instead of having emptied
its war chest. as previously suppos-
ed. the committee was found to have
more than $4,000 left for expenses.
The resolution to reopen the in
quiry was offered by Rep. Prall,
DEM, N. Y, at an executive meeting
yesterday, but action was deferred
until today to enable an accurate
check on the committees finances.
After expenditure Of the 1000 re-
naming in the committees funds,
Rep. Perkins, Rep. n. j., committee
examiner said the committee men,
bers voted to contribute personally
if that was found necessary.
The. committee instructed Mr.. Per-
kins to notify Secretaries Week and
Wilbur that it would be glad to re-
ceive any additional information on
aircraft that the War and Navy De
partmRnts might desire to present.
b Wilburs View
While the committee was debating
whether to pry further under the
lid of the aircraft controversy Secre-
tary Wilbur declared in public
speech that the navy not only need
ed adequate aircraft "but we have
land are getting them"
Speaking before a woman's confer
ence called to consider preparedness
as a peace measure, the navy secre-
tary asserted that the navy long ago
had realized the need for air pre-
paredness and had acted according
ly. 1t was his first public reference
to the question since it had been
brought to the front by the house
hearing.
Officers who are operating Ameri-
can battleships, Mr.. Wilbur said in
his brief discussion of aviation had
anticipated in imagination and their
efforts the more tardy cry of those
who have recently had their atten-
tion drawn to aircraft"
''If bombing planes can sink bat
tleships," he said, 1--WE want bomb
ing planes to sink the battleships Of
enemies and we want anti aircraft
guns .on our battleships and aircraft
to protect our battleships. 1--WE not
only want them and need them, but
We have and are going to get them
