OK THE GERMAN IVIES .. _ Political and Industrial Unrest, Added to Rigid Demands By the Censor, Hurting Business. Berlin.— Political and a certain amount of industrial unrest, added to the rigid demands of the cpnsor have hit the moving picture business In Germany a ‘blow that has proved a knockout to hun • d'.-eds of hitherto prosperous concerns. theatres and the film factories allka have been hard hit. The strike of the producers against the new police cen sorship fee of 25 cents for every 29 metres of film manufactured, Is still going on. but it is acknowledged that several manufacturers are evading the strike agreement by having their pro ducts censored through the theatre-own ers, so that they need not appear in the i matter themselves. At the moment the Indications are Fthat the film manufacturers will finally cave In and pay the tax out of their di minishing profits, a sort of compromise by compulsion. Meanwhile the cinema tograph theatres are beginning to close their doors under the strain of the In creased t axetion combined with declin ing patronage. Some of these estabdsh- Iments In Berlin pay as much as 25,090 dollars a year In the form of the munlcl psl "amusement" tax. The newer and ilarger ones have been gotten up to out (vie Solomon’s Temple In the splendor of •their hangings, panellings and Illumina tion. and with reduced prices and high er taxes have a hard time to live. Wlth ,out the twenty cents charged for check ing your hat and coat (which must be given up) most of the theatres could not livo at all. It Is significant that one of the largest foreign film making firms operating In Berlin haa halved lta prices at a stroke.

INTERESTING COMPETITION I SOON FOR PROFESSIONAL AND AMATEUR GOLFERS New York—Next week professional and amateur golfers will have an in teresting competition on the links of the Midlothian Country Club, Blue Island, Ills., in the four days* open Champoinship tournament of the United States Golf Association. Last year this event was decided over the course of the Country Club, Brook line, Mass., and its sensational end ing in a victory for Francis Ouimet, a young Massachusetts player over Harry Vardon and Edward Ray, a pair of Great BBrltain’s leading pro fessionals, in the play off of a three cornered tie, will always be ranked as a star performance in American golf annals The trio had tied with scores of 304 for 72 holes, but in the play off, the following day, over 18 holes, Ouimet put up a wonderfully strong game, winning out with a round of 72 strokes, while Vardon and Ray finished as named with 77 and 7S respectively. This year, howevar, the event will not have an interna tional flavor as no foreign entries have been received and Interest will be centered in Ouimet’s efforts to retain the “open” title which he so cleverly won from the strongest and most representative field of golfer* that ever gathered on an American golf links. Although he waa unsuc cessful In fils attempt for British amateur champoinship honors in his recent trip to Europe, Ouimet brought the French amateur honor home with hmi and since his return he has been taking excellent care of himself. He did not enter the Metropolitan open tournament as 'ne was anxious to re serve all his playing energy to make a supreme effort In the coming tour ney to successfully defend his well won national laurels.

Paris.—There has been of late much discussion as to the real character of the famous French Foreign Legion. The subject Is a delicate one to touch The Germans say all manner of 111 of it, and In this way they are not left behind by the short story writers of the popular magazines In London. On the other hand the French themselves say that the soldiers of the Foreign Legion are well treated and repel with Indignation charges to the contrary. My own Impression, after going into the matter Is that a confusion is mado between the Foreign legion and the "coropagnles do discipline" In North Africa. These cornpagnles are for the incorrigible ones, the rascals, the Apaches, the ex-crlmlnals. The discip line Is terribly severe, but it appears there Is no help for It. The old tor tures however, have long since dis appeared. I have the figures of the Foreign Legion for the past ten years before me. In that period there have been 22,588 voluntary engagements, of which 4,924 were of German national ity. Of these 22.588 men, <1,420 at the expiration of their time, renewed their engagement, which they surely would not have done If their existence had teen intolerable. During the ten years, 2,152 soldiers of the Legion sought French naturalization, among them being 651) of German national ity. BAYB 15,000 LOBB.

In France alone several score of the professional boxers are serving with the army the most illustrouß evample being Georges Carpeutier. The recent ring victories of the Freight middleweight over both Bombardier Weils anil Gunboat Smith caused European crit ics to .predict world’s championship honors for Corpentler. Hhould he he killed or injured in action his loss woudl he keenly felt in pugilistic cir cles for even the English ring author ities predict a promising career for him as can be seen from the follow ing extract from a review of his bout with Smith: "Though the result of the boxing between Carpentler and Gunboat Smith was very unsatisfactory from one point of view, there Is very little doubt that If the contest had contin ued Carpentler would either have won easily on points or would have fin ished his man before the tenth round. The Frenchman hail science, pace, and precision, and all of them hail been improved since he last appeared, With qualities such as these, he was easily able to deal with a man whose cnlef assets were strength and en durance. The rapier will nearly al ways win against the broadsword. We shall always look forward to see lng Carientler In the ring again. His fierce vitality, his swift Intelligence, his flaming courage, present a com bination of some of the Unest quali ties which boxing lias ever evolved in tls best exponents."

New York.—A striking Illustration of tee international character of ama teur sport is afforded by the sltua tiojj that has developed as a result of the war in Eurotpe. Early In the Beason there was every reason lor the belief that 1914 would he the greatest year In the history of com petition. With the unexpected con flict abroad international contests of ail kinds have been cancelled arid may not he resumed for mouths or even years. On this side of the Atlantic the America’s cup race is Die most lot portent event to he cancelled, but other competitions will lose the for eign entries that were expected. The amateur and open golf championships and the national tennis tournament will be without foreign entrants since even the Davis cup teams now 1n this country plan to leave for home as soon us the challenge round Is com pleted. Abroad the Harms worth mo torboat contest and the international aviation races at Rheime sre off as well as all Die various national cham poltwhlps of the European countries. The result of the war from an ath letic and sporting standpoint may lie greater for It la likely to upset events scheduled for several years to come The Bonder boat races at Kiel In 1915 and the Olympic games at Berlin in 1916 sre no longer assured fixtures. Athletic authorities both In America and abroad realize that If the present war continues for any extended pe riod Germany will not he In a posi tion to act, as host to the Olympic team*. Entries from all the Euro pean countries will be greatly curtail ed ts not abandoned entirely and It may he necessary to postpone the i games or transfer the meet to some , nation not Involved n the clash of arms In commenting on this angle of the present unsettled state of uf'alrs ath lot c James E. Hullivan, secretary of the American Olympic Committee, , said: I "Of course it's looking a long ways Please Note That October first marks the beginning of the new rent year. Those moving Into new homes or renovating the old, will find White's Furniture and Housefurnkshlngs De partments mines for savings. Ask for what you want. ahead to attempt to predict the ef fect of the war abroad on the Olym pic game in 1910. Personally I nope that Europe will he at peace again be fore that time and that there will he no need of a change In the program. If, howoverf a shift Is necessary, the United States is t'he logical country in which to hold the games and tue American Committee will enrry out the schedule as planned by Germany without a hitch of any kind. We have available stadiums in many parts of the country, several of which ure callable oT seating from 40,000 to 60,000 spectators. Hhould It prove desirable to jmstpone the Panama-Par clflc Exposition planned for Han Francisco next year until 1916, the Olympic games would undoubtedly he held there In connection with the fair, if the exposition Is held ac cording to schedule Chicago, Pitts burg, New York and Boston are all available for the following year. New Haven and Syracuse, with their big college stadiums, might also he con sidered. AN INOVATION IN FORM OF PRIVATE POSTOFFICES Paris.

Although the average islander Is lazy, good natured and peace loving, he Ih not far removed front the days of savagery. Of an exeltabls and em ottonal nature, he is earrlsd away by the dramatic films exhibited by pro moters. An islander will pawn bis last possession, says tha traveler, to see a picture show. A recent case occurred in ths Sa moan Islands whers three natives, one a former policemen, stole revolvers and started out to Imitate a hold-up scene. They set upon a European plantation manager and Ills assistant and Shot both dead toy resisting. The murders were followed by battles with the natives with the result that two of I the bund were killed in action and a I third was captured and later banged. [|OME EOlTlOfl
