LEAGUE BREEDS
WAR, ASSERTS
BEAVERBROOK
Britain Being Dragged Into
Conflict, Says Publisher.
Sees Need of U. S. Support

LONDON, May 16 U.S0
Great Britain is being dragged
l1elplessly into another great war
through its membership in the
League of Nations.
This is among the sensational
charges presented by Lord Beaver.
brook, British newspaper baron,
in an editorial published in one
Of his newspapers, the London
Daily Express. today. At one point
the editorial states:
"The League of Nations was
Americas idea. To please Amer.
lea, we agreed to it. When Amer.
lea refused to join, we should
have withdrawn"
Instrument For War
Further on the editorial con
tinueS:
Marching side by side with
friendly, high.purpOSed America,
the destiny Of the British race
can alone be fulfilled"
The editorial discloSes the
League of Nations as an instru
ment for war, rather than peace
and as dominated by France.
The following extract from
Lord Beaverbrook's editorial was
authorized by him for publication
in all Hearst newspapers:
"The truth concerning the
League of Nations has been
hidden from the people of this
country for years by a con-
spiracy Of bluffs and hypocrisy
working upon the susceptible
ties of decent, trusting people.
Truth to Be Told
"The truth must be told and
the Express is going to tell it.
No better moment could exist
for stating the actual facts re-
garding the League than this
hour when the DELEGATES are
beginning another chapter in
Geneva's long history Of in

In Which His Words Were
Received During Broadcast

SO.-Gratified over the reception
accorded his second worldwide

went forward with his plans to
issue an encyclical defining the
attitude of the Roman Catholic
Church toward labor conditions
and class struggles.
It was expected that the
encycical, which will be a sup
Elementary to the famous "Rerum
novarum" of Pope Leo XIII, will
be issued in about a weeks time.
It will contain a new charter Of
labor designed to elevate the
status of the working man.
Messages received at the Vat.
lean testified to the close at
tention paid throughout the
world to his holiness broadcast.
in which he outlined his forth
coming encyclical, appealing to
"all men of good will" to supplant
class war with class collaboration
and revise the relations between
capital and labor to bring about
a "fairer division" Of their COM
mon efforts.
Atmospheric conditions being
favorable, the pontiff'S words were
heard clearly throughout the
world. He spoke from the Papal
throne under a great canopy in
the cnllrtvard of ST DanaslIS

BY BROADCASTER

It's just too bad for the blondes
that they won't do for television,
at least, in its present state Of de-
velopment. Only brunetteS need
apply to become stars in visual
oroadcasts as planned by the
chain stations.
So 1t seems that gentlemen who
expect to be entertained by tele-
vision must, for a while, look at
brunettes and like them, regard
less Of how fervently they may
prefer ash, red or yellow hair. 1t
seems that brunettes fill the bill
for television because dark hair
provides just the right contrast to
a nice white, velvety skin.
I'm not prepared to go into the
scientific end of it, but you can
Judge just how much the blondes
are out of luck by the fact that
the National Broadcasting Com
pany and the Columbia System
have picked pronounced brunettes
for their television girls. Some
weeks ago, Columbia selected
Natalie Towers, and yesterday,
the NB.C. signed UP Dorothy
Knapp.
Columbia will start television
June l, seven days week, and
six hours day.
School for Talent
National is going about it in a
different way. Toward the end Of
this month, the N.B.C. will open a
school for television performers,
in which artists and production
men will be trained for the new
science. The session of this school
will be put on the air without
television equipment once a week,
but everybody will go through the
motions of a television broadcast,
and the listener will be able to
hear Just what goes on.
Perpetual Lamp Program
A Perpetual Lamp which is to
be kept burning through the
years in commemoration Of the
American dead Of the world
war, will be lighted by Jacob M.
Halper, commander Of the Cos
tello Post of the American Le-
gion, at a special dedication Serv'
ice in the Immaculate Concep'
ton Church on Sunday, May II,
at S o'clock. The entire services
will be broadcast from the Church
of the Immaculate Conception
under the auspices Of the Wash.
ington Catholic Radio Hour which
is broadcast every Sunday after
noon from the church through

The National Colors will be pre-.
sented to the church by Mr.. Greg,

ANN HARDING
IN CONTRACT
DEADLOCK
By HARRISON CARROLL

Syndicate, Inc.)

HOLLYWOOD, NdAl1', way 4O'
After all the talk, Ann Hard
ing's new contract with Pathe
isn't signed, or wasn't when this
was written.
The deadlock is substantially
where it was two months ago.
Matters of salary are agreed
upon, but the star objects to GER
tain restrictive clauses. Now
that Hiram Brown and David
Sarnoff are in town, it Is likely
the disputed points will oe
ironed out.
Unless she signs the new con-
tract, Ann will not make '"The
Little Flat In a Temple" or de
votion" as it now is called.
She thinks the story is all right
| if she is to do four pictures a
year, but wants a stronger
vehicle if she completes the old
contract. This specifies no
definite number, but gives her a
voice II picking the stories.
N the meanwhile, her dis
agreement with Charles Rogers
continues to be a friendly one.
Preparations are going right on
for the filming of Devotion"
and the studio seems perfectly
satisfied the new contract will
be signed.

through the whole story of the little

who marries someone else IN order
to be able to follow the man she
loves from England to America, is
a tender background of romance.

several new novelty dances. with

MOOSE LODGE TO
HOLD GATHERING
IN new PLACE

Local Moose will meet Wednesday
night in their new home for the
first time since the completion OF
improvements and changes in the
old Tulane theatre. which have
transformed the place into an at
tractive setting for lodge ceremonies
and social activities. All members
are urged to be present as special
features have been arranged for the
evening
Members of the organization are
very proud of their new quarters
and have made every attempt to
supply a modern. convenient meet
ing place.
An oil painting by L. Griffith, de-
picting a moose in natural setting, is
q gift to the lodge from Lester
Eichold. local New York Life repre-
sentative. The painting is 3 by 6
feet in extent.
In planning for a membership
drive. local Moose wrote to James J.
Davis. director general, for advice in
the matter of opening the charter
fft Still lilC lOilOWuiS dCNiSS
People always are interested in
the many benevolent and charitable
works in which the Moose are en-
gagged. The sick and death benefit
features of the local lodges will ap-
peal to some, while others will be
mere interested in the school at
Mooseheart. Here there are 1400
dependent orphan children and their
widowed mothers are in the care OF
the lodge. The lodge gives them a
home. educates them through the
high school and teaches them a
practical trade at which to earn a
living when they take their places
in the world.
There is also MooSehaven, where
a home is provided for several hum
dred aged members and their wives
a place where they spend their de-
Ginning years together in peace and

First Building
Permit Issued

It's rapidly becoming habit with
H. r. Johnston.
Members of the staff in the city
engineers office opened their arms
to Johnston when he appeared to
take out the first building permit
Of the new year. One reason was
that the same man was the first tC
take out a permit last year.
Johnston started the year of
right with a permit for two dwell
lings at 878 and $50 Broadway. Wors
will cost $1,000. Coincidence of in
tention, it is a fact that the first
permit of 1890 was also for $1,000
and was issued to Johnston.
Another permit issued early in the
year was to Mrs. Lethia Goss for al
terations to house at 242 Easl
Orange street, to cost $50. R. H
