Oregon weeks to join the Cuban be- sieging fleet from the Pacific in 1898.
 We'll out beyond the Gulf of Pa mama, the Blue fleet sought the Black. Ranging far in advance were the scouting ships-destroyers. scout cruisers and submarines. During the daylight hours, planes swept aloft to hang in the hot skies seeking a glimpse of enemy scouts and first battle contact.
 Unless the Black fleet eludes the Blue scouts, contact should be made by tomorrow afternoon.
 Admiral Wiley, commander-in- chief who will umpire the war game, planned to sail at o'clock this aft ernoon from Balboa on his flagship. the U. 8. s. Texas.
 The commander of each fleet will be given free scope and the only limitation imposed will be that the issue must be met in time to allow the whole fleet to return to Balboa not later than January 31.
 The attacking units employ the heaviest strength in capital ships while the defending groups has been given the greatest offensive powers in aircraft. The entire maneuver will supply extremely valuable data on relative merits of offense and de- fense in different arms and naval service-especially the efficiency of airplanes against battleships and cruisers.

TWO FLEETS ARE
 READY FOR FIGHT
Blue and Black to Battle
 for Panama

Balboa, Panama Canal Zone, Jan. ei (CP)-Two great fleets approach ed each other in the Pacific today to do battle for supremacy of the Panama Canal. They were the Blue" Atlantic fleet and the Black" Pacific fleet.
 The highest naval strategy was be- ing displayed by both forces. but sympathy lay with the inferior force the Blues-defending the canal with but 75 ships to the Blacks ss.
 The famous cruise of the Oregon around the Horn during the Spanish American war was recalled today by the rush of the scout cruiser Detroit from Boston to join the Blues. The Detroit steamed at nearly 30 knots an hour to make the canal in S9 hours-approximately 2.1o0 miles, and then sped through the locks to head southward on the left scouting line of the defense ships. The quick contact of the Detroit demonstrated the strategic value of the canal when she joined her fleet in four days after leaving Boston. where 1t took the

Mr,. John Krasiel of % Lawlor street, whose husband blackened her eyes and drew blood from her nose Monday night, saved him from . jail term today, assuring Judge NJ. D. Sake in police court that she was confident that there would not be ! recurrence of the trouble, as it was three years since she had been giv- ea the last beating and she was obliged to depend on her husband fer her support and that of their seven children. the eldest of whom is 16 years old.
 Judge Sake said he felt jail was the place for Kragiel and he did not share the woman's confidence in the probability of an extended period of freedom from attack. He hesitat- ed to order & jail sentence. on &C., count of the children and also in view of Mrs. Kragiel's attitude. put he asked Probation Officer Connol- ly to keep in close touch with the family and if Kragiel misbehaves at all. he vii be sent to jail. Imposing sentence of three months. he shs- pended execution and placed him in care of the probation officer.
 Officer William Politis testified that Helen Kragiel. daughter of the couple, brought revolver to the police station Monday night about 10 o'clock and told Lieutenant Bam- forth her father had threatened to shoot her mother. It was learned that Mrs. Kragiel was in house on Beach street, which her husband said was a disorderly place, but when Officers Politis and Hellberg arrived, the couple had started for home, and a short time later they located them. Mrs. Kragiel was holding a six or seven weeks old child in her arms. while blood streamed from her nose and sltur- ated her clothing, according to Off, cer Politis, while three children stood by, totally covered and trembling at their fathers rage. One of the children. who was not in court, had marks on her arm and shoulder where her father seized her, according to the officer.
 Mrs. Kragiel testified that she went to a party on Beach street ani expected her husband to be there, bat he was furious at her for go-

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April g.
Ronald Colman will make his first
talkie debut in New York, much to the
disgust of local fans, fired to mad en-
thtIsiasm about the reticent British &C
tor who seems to care nothing about
any of them.
So few, even of Hollywoods inhabit-
ants, are familiar with the Colman
speech that his voice will be treat to
all concerned.
Each new beauty to arrive in Holly
wood goes "Colman" before she goes
Hollywood With amused smile Ronnie
Coln1an hears of it. They meet him II
they are fortunate or know the English
colony we'll enough to arrange for It.
They find that they cannot get behind
that whimsical cavalieriSn which Is his
characteristic.
One of the latest beauties to arrive
from the legitimate stage has gone
quite gaga over Colman. She made
opus, and then went into legitimate
performance which is now in prepara-
ton here.
At rehearsaIs she sits drawing hearts
and arrows after the fashion of school
children, writing "Ronnie Colman" in
all manner of ways. Her alteration Is
openly avowed, but the weary gentleman
who has raised the cult OF indifference
to rare art remains undisturbed.
Gloria Swanson will have Otto
Matiessen in her talkie version of the
latest picture. Matiessen is one OF the
cIeverest of the group of foreign actors.
A Dane, he came to Hollywood from a
substantial stage success in his own
country.
He learned the bitter ways of the
boulevard; found that art in Hollywood
was not spelled in the same way as art
in the Old World; discovered that in
terpretations came second to box Office
Then DR.. Paul Fejos, Hungarian
genius of directing, discovered Maties-
sen. Together they made q strange
picture. 1t was called 1.-THE Last Mo-
nent," and Matiessen was the only actor
in it. The queer little film became a
sensation. 1t washed DR.. FejoS up out
of the breathless struggle OF Poverty
Row into a post as one of the leading
directors of Movieland.
And it carried Matiessen through
