 "Who won the war" Is the in- variable question Of that part Of the public which has been following the accounts in the press Of the recent naval and military maneuycrs off o' inc island of oahu, one of the Hawaiian group.

The National Council OF Women com

Mrs. Philip North Moore of st. Louis,
the retiring president.
Maj. Gen. Hanson Ely, member of
the War College and representative
or the War Department, explained the
purposes of the National Defense day.
The experience of the past teaches
US that disarmament is impractical
and foolish" Gen. Ely said, unless
all nations diSarm. No one believes in
competitive armament. Not q soul
in the United States believes in that. F."
Gen. Ely cited the case of China,
as delegate to the last disarmament
conference, as an example of the i'm

strong national defense

The letter was drawn by a special

offered to the National Council months
prior TO the scheduled meeting The
offer was suddenly withdrawn shortly
before the arrival OF foreign delesates
and visitors, necessitating a hurried

1t is set forth there are 1,162 first

more than $4,000 population. and
that over a period of three years

Explain Block Buying.
AS to block booking, it is said
there is no evidence that when an
exhibitor attempts to purchase less
than a lot of pictures the prices OF
selected pictures were raised from 20
to 70 per cent. 1t is admitted there
IS evidence that when only one or
two pictures We're selected from 20
or 80 the prices asked for the chosen
few were increased, but not more
than an average of 20 per cent.
1T is only naural to expect that one
picture selected out of n wholesale lot
of 40. like one bag OF wheat out Of
a carload should cost more than when
sold as one unit" counsel contend.
Famous Players never controlled Is
per cent of the stars, as charged, and
never had more than one-third of the
stars "of any class. character, sex or
description"
A well balanced business organiza-
ton and the coordination of artistic
and business elements have been re
sponsible for the success of Famous
rather than stars or directors, 1t Is
held.
ut is as impossible to monopoliZe
the brains of the country in the motion
picture business as in any other busi-
ness" it is said.
Testimony was cited that at no time
did Famous have more than 37.1 per
cent of the outstanding stars, nor
more than 38.5 per cent of the out
standing directors, and never more
than 15.4 per cent OF the secondary
stars.
While stars cannot be dogmatically
catalogued, those of the first magni
tude are the ones of outstanding abil-
ity and recognized box office value. The
seconds" are those we'll and favorably
known, but having little,-drawing
power.

URGES COLLECTION

Historical Documents Should

tionary history" to be placed in pub

by Capt. Dudley w. Knox. y. S. n,
in an address before the Sons OF the

bia in the Army and Navy Club last

disbanding armies OF the United
States at Rocky Hill, n. j., November

Col. NJ. G. Buckley, historian.
Papers Not Accessible.
Capt Knox spoke of the many docu-
ments of paramount interest pertain
ing to the history Of the American
Revolution which are now in private
custody and said:
1T should be manifest that the
papers of the kind mentioned should
not remain In private possession. In
the long run they are certain to be
burnt, rotted, rat eaten or otherwise
destroyed. 1t is true that some pri-
vate collections are comparatively well
cared for, but even these do not have
as good fire protection as is normal in
Moreover. in private hands papers
are not accessible to historians"
Capt. Knox referred to the proposed

especially important"

Attorney for Genna Gang in
Chicago Says Regular
Pay RoII Was Kept.
Bv the Associated Prers

CHICAGO. November 3.-Charges
Of graft involving 800 policemen and
payment of $1,000 n month have been
made by Patrick O'Donnell. attorney
for two members of the Genna gang,
leaders OF an alcohol ring, on trial for
killing two policemen last June.
O'Donnell offered as evidence to
prove his charges records which, he
said showed each polcemans star
number opposite the amount paid him.
Barred from introducing the evidence
in the murder trial as irrelevant,
O'Donnell said he would give his in
formation to the Federal Government.
Some Paid in Rum.
Some of the policemen took their
pay in alcohol from the 10 plants con-
trOlled by the Gennas in easements
and tenement rooms on the West Side
and bootlegged it themselves declared
ODonneu. Duplicate lists of these
plants were furnished detective squads
SO that the places would not be raided
by mistake.
The charges were made. the lawyer
said. in an attempt to show that most
cordial business and personal rela-
tions existed between the gang and
the police and that Genna and his
herChmen would not have attempted
TO kill any Of them,
Mike Genna and his partners paid
500 policemen, $50 of them from the
Maxwell street station. a squad from
the central station and another from
the States Attorneys office. $4,000
month and l have the books to prove
it." said O'Donnell in court. These
squads kept the Genna's informed of
other large stills so that Mike could go
10 them. demand tribute and threaten
them.
Recalls Arrest Incident
"Once a Genna truck was arrested
by mistake and the police called their
headquarters. It's all right they
were told Mike has it all fixed"
The charges We're the second sensa-
ton of the trial, the first coming when
two court attaches were discharged
after they had accepted presents of
whisky from O'DonnelI.

are 125 traffic officers on crossing duty
who will be given special training by
the bureau experts if the plans of
Mr.. Eidridge carry.
Big Squad Sought.
While the traffic director feels that
a big step forward will have been
taken in supplying these 800 police
men with the accurate schooling need
ed before they can go ahead with an
intelligent enforcement of this law. he
looks on this group only as forming
the nucleus of a much larger number
of police officers who may be given
the same training.
While the city shortly will possess
this large squad OF trained policemen
to carry out the intention OF legis-
latoTS who banned crooked headlights
as a means of protecting human lives,
Director ElGridge believes that this
number should be augmented so that
the authorities Will have more ade-
quate facilities at their command in
launching a large-scale offensive
against transgressors of law and pub

One phase of the problem of how
best to safeguard motorists and pc
destrianS alike may be solved, it is
believed, by insisting on careful and
