MOVIE DIRECTORS NOT ART DEV0TEES
Opinion Of German Who Recent ly Studied American Industry

Berlin. Feb. 5.--Dr. Fritz Lang, German film manager who recently returned from study of the film irl- dustry in the United States delivered a lecture in which he said American film directors are too commercial and much less devoted to art than German directors. Of all the Ameri- can directors he said he found that Griffith alone has ideals.
 Dr. Lang also said that in his opinion Germany has better actors than the United States, but the United States has a much greater variety of actors, is able to produce an actor for every part who merely plays himself, and has actors who keep constantly in training and keep their bodies active and fresh through sports. The failure of German &C., tors to keep in good physical trim is great handicap. in pr. Langs 8 opinion.
 The great power of life in the United States, the immense vitality of all classes of persons, and the dis inclination of even the poorest beg gar to admit that he is not well made a great impression on Dr. Lang. He says an American always says he is extraordinarily well, while an inquiry about Germans health brings the answer as rule that he is wretched.

STONES OPPONENTS
 EXPLAIN THEIR STAND
Senator Walsh Definitely Declares 1t is Because of the Wheeler
 Prosecution

Washington, Feb. 5.-Those who have blocked confirmation of At torney General Stone as a justice of the supreme court. explained their attitude at length today from the floor of the senate. Speaking to crowded galleries, attracted by the unusual spectacle of debate in open session on a supreme court nomination, Senator Walsh of Mon tana opened the debate with a de- fense of his course, in insisting that Mir. Stone explain to the judiciary committee the new grand jury pro- ceedings here against Senator Wheeler.
 Various newspapers, MT. Walsh said, had "castigated" him for cross questioning the attorney general re- garding the Wheeler case. Refer ring particularly to an editorial in the Washington Post, he said that  newspaper had "a particular reason for assalling me and has hired one of the best known harpooners to do it." He insisted that politics was involved in the Wheeler case, and recalled testimony before senate committee showing that George B. Lockwood, then secretary of the re- publican national committee, had taken part in the Montana proceed ings.
 "There is no man in this chamber who doubts, I dare say" he con- tinued that Senator Wheeler never would have been involved in these court proceedings if he had not been Investigating the department of justice"
 MT. Walsh then defended his pro- test against bringing an indictment here of Senator Wheeler "after the case had been instituted in Mon- tana, and he might just as well be tried there."
