LABOR VISITORS;
DECEIVED AS TO
SOVIET RUSSIA
LONDON, July 2 (by Associated
Press).—An attempt to make Moscow
look a busy and prosperous city dur
ing the visit to that city of the Eng
lish labor delegates is told by the Let
tish information bureau, whose press
bureau at Riga has a special corres
pondent attached to the peace delega
tion in Moscow.
“The various institutions in Soviet
Russia had for a long time been busy
in making preparations for the re
ception of the English labor delegates
in order to show to them Russia in
attractive colors,” says the corespon
dent. In Petrograd, where as a rule
almost no people are to be seen in
the streets, all the officials were
ordered to take part in the reception.
Theatrical representations and grand
iose banquets were organized with the
participation of actresses from the
Mariinski and Alexandrovski theatres.
The delegates were taken to Moscow
in a special train, accompanied hy
Tcherkess soldiers in bright uniforms.
In Moscow, the day before the ar
rival of the English delegates, all the
papers published strict orders issued
by the military and civil commissor
ies, setting out what everybody had
to do and how to behave. On May 17
the tramway service in the city was
suspended, all the cars being taken
to the neighborhood of the Nikloasv
ski station, where gaily decorated,
they moved to and fro, trying to con
vey to the visitors the idea of busy
traffic.
In the station all the motor cars
from Moscow were mobilized, even
the highest commissaries having to
walk. On May 18 a parade was organ
ized but no private persons allowed
to be present. This communistic par
adise in order to deceive the English
visitors as to the real state of Soviet
Russia.
MOVIE FANS HAVE GREAT
WEEK AHEAD THROUGH
BIG FEATURES BOOKED
Everybody sit up and take notice,
for picture fans have a strenuous
week ahead of them. Such a linc-up
of pictures for everyone, big and little,
and all of them so good you can’t
take a chance on missing a single
one. A special effort has been made
to provide good entertainment at the
Empress over the Fourth and here’s
the result:
On Friday and Saturday night. May
Allison in “The Uplifters,” and Fatty
Arbuckle in “Camping Out.” The play
is a delicious satire on Parlor “Bull
Skivism” of the ranting female, and
long haired non-working male variety.
The story as appeared originally in
The Saturday Eveneing Post. May
Allison, as a pretty stenographer, has
aspirations. She prefers “Socialistic
Freedom” to marriage, even though
the handsome junior partner is just
mad about her. How she finds that
the “shackles” of matrimony aren’t
so worse after all, makes a lively and
entertaining story, full of laughs and
pep.
“Fatty” as a hen-pecked husband
in “Camping Out” is irresistable. He
can’t get a square meal at home, so
flees to the seaside, with his cook
(book), and there meets a pretty girl.
But friend wife is hot on the trail, |
and the fun is on. This is one of the |
best Arbuckle pictures seen yet.
On Sunday night only, Bert Lytell
in “It’s Easy to Make Money,” which
is without question the best thing
-LiVLcn nas ever uune. r ur original
ity and humor, the plot is a record
bireaker.
For Monday night only. Madge Ken
nedy in “The Kingdom of Youth.”
Tom Moore is leading man, and the
«
play, a sparkling comedy with both
these popular stars at their best.
On Tuesday night, Mary Pickford
in her masterpiece, “Daddy Long
Legs.” This play is so well known
as to need no comment. The mere
announcement of its booking is
enough to arouse interest and keen
anticipation. Further details tomor
row.
CARRANZA LOST
THROUGH USE
HUN TACTICS
MEXICO CITY, • July 2 (by As
sociated Press). — By ordering
the bombardment of defenseless
towns held by the Sonora revo
lutionists, President Carranza lost
forty of his fifty aviators, according
to Lieutenant Luis Preciado de la
Torre, adjutant of the first flotilla
of the Mexican air service.
“Captain Diez Martinez and I issued
a manifesto of Mexico City, declar
ing that we would not obey such
orders, which would mean the repeti
tion of the aerial barbarities prac
ticed by Germany upon the towns of
Belgium,” Lieutenant de la Torre said
today.
“The towns we were ordered to
bombard were Cuernavaca and Cuaut
la, Morelos, and other places in that
region. Some of us, including myself,
did fly over the places indicated, but
we dropped our bombs "where we
know they would do no harm.”
The air strength of the Mexican
army consists of about 60 planes. In
addition the service has about 55
motors, to be used in planes of Mex
ican manufacture. A shipload of 150
horsepower Italian machines are en
route to Mexico, according to Lieuten
ant de la Torre.
The Mexican aviation school, closed
by Carranza about three months ago,
will reopen shortly, according to the
lieutenant. Seven thousand applica
tions for enrollment have already
been received, despite the fact that
rigid entrance requirements, tending
to make aviation a professional ca
reer, have been established.
ENGUSH SYNDICATE
ORGANIZED TO TAKE
NITROGEN FROM AIR
LONDON, July 2 (by Associated
Press).—A syndicate has been formed
to establish a nitrogen factory for
the manufacture of ammonia synthe
tically, from the nf rogen of the air,
says the American chamber of com
merce in London. The syndicate has
purchased the extensive site in
County Durham which the British
government acquired more than two
years ago, for the purpose of building
a factory. The capital required will
be 5,000,000 pounds sterling.
The process to be adopted, says the
American chamber, will be on the
principle of the German chemist, Ha
ber. Nitrogen and hydrogen will be
combined into ammonia, under pres
sure at a high temperature, the am
monia then being converted into nitric
acid, or other nitrates as may be re
quired either for the manufacture
of explosives or for use as fertilizers.
You think you are a pretty valuable
member of the community, but if
your services and talents were put up
for sale without any prestige or pull
or property, how much would they
bring “under the hammer?”
The only important ancestors are
those that are alive.
