 LANSING TODAY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6-Secretary Lansing granted an interview at the state department tomorrow to Dr. ; Constantin Dumba, the Austro- Hun i garian ambassador, who desires to discuss the published reports that 1 he has taken part in movement to interfere with the production of war materials in the United States Ambassador Dumbas request for conference reached Secretary Lan- sing late today. It is understood here that he wishes to make explan- ation regarding the dispatches sent by him to the foreign office at Vii enna and seized by the British au- thouties from James Archibald, an
 American war correspondent, wEO was acting as his messe nger.
 These dispatches which it is said revealed that the ambassador had suggested plans for handicapping mum ition plants and had undertaken to warn AUstro Hungarian subjects that they were violating the criminal code of their native land by accepting em- ployment in American establishments making war supplies for the allies, are declared to have raised a subject for which there is no precedent in American diplomacy. The question of dual Citizenship long disputed between the Emitted States and several Euro pean~poWers, is involved because this Is the matter to be approached when Dumha arrivs without prejudice. Of ficials doubt there has been a viola tion Of the law. Copies of the papers taken from Archibald in London were forwarded to the state department by Ambassador Page, but had not ar rived tonight.

 This war proves that preparedness IS not a preventative of war.

The Boss at Lamara

Love and politics have often been mixed together for the purpose of
 forming a great story or a great play. When the motion picture came to be the greatest medium of amusement and education for all classes of people in the country, the same factors that had made many big novels and successful plays were taken hold of to make sue cessful motion pictures. Thus Edward Sheldon, one of the most successful of contemporary playwrights chose the theme of Alfred Henry Lewis novel fTEe Boss for his play and now comes a picture founded upon both, produced
 by William A. Brady and starring Hol- ture is released through the World
 Film corporation and will be the fea- ture of the Lamara program today. The
 picture tells the story of the rise of a fighting ina Ginative Irishman through the successive steps of bartender, sa
 loonkeeper political boss, until he meets the daughter of a blue blood whose father had been ruined trying to combat political pull and general wa chination with pure business against the boss himself. Here love intervenes and To the boss marries the girl After he is accused of murder he is innocent
 however, but here his wife warns to him and finds she loves him for the sterling parts of his makeup, and her work eventually saves him. Shoulder to shoulder they fight out and success fully the battle of life.

The Coliseum

In reviewing What Happened to

 gets mixed up with girl, who It seems must keep sending him let ters to his home, and Brown is at ways in sweat for fear his wire will get one of these letters and commence divorce proceedings. He has a servant named Nose, negro, who he takes into his confidence and asks to help him.
 In the meantime there is char acter named Abbie LaVinsky, Jew who runs a pawn shop and who IS calling on Browns cook named Hel-
 ena Simpkins. who has most ob- n;oxious laugh. Mrs. Brown hires Finn to make love to her in order to make her husband jealous Abbie consents and proceeds to make vlo- lent love to her. A friend or
 Prown. who sees the lovemakins, tells Brown. and Brown, returning
 home. sees the hated Jew on his knees before his wife begging her to flee with him. Brown is in a rage and Abbie explains why he is mak- ire love to his wife.
 Brown then plots with the Jew that he will shoot him and the Jew will fall and die to scare Brown wife. It fails to work and Mrs Brown, to get even with him, sends
 Nose to the drug store for somo poison and plans to take it. In a mix-up the negro drinks the poison by mistake, so they think, and

Four Men Ready to Drop in Snow Are Bouyed By
 Woman's Courage.
LEAVE HERE MONDAY; GET HOME WEDNESDAY
Jitney Bus, Work Train and Railroad Station Are
 Made Refuges.
Especial to The Farmer )

Newtown, Dec 18-The story of a journey from Bridgeport to Newtown, begun Monday afternoon and not fin fshed until Wednesday afternoon is being told here today by Town Clerk Oscar Pitzsch1er, Ray Carroll, Egbert Thrali Edward Forgan and Miss Hazel Smith.
 Starting out in the storm of Mon day, riding in a jitney bus, the quintet had adventures that, not only will they never forget. but they never want to meet again.
 How they abandoned the bus and several times after reached havens of refuge, started out on foot and buff fetted the storm is causing much con- ment here today.
 Had it not been for the encourage ment of Miss Smith. a student of music, returning to her home in New town. the party might have broken down in the snow but the young wo1nan's theeTing words and courage were so great that, If they were over come. it would not have been sur prising.

 The car began tu baIk at once, and speed was much reduced, but no ser ious trouble was met until Long Hfl1 hove in sight. Then the car stopped. The driver got out and made an inves- tigation that, lasted half an hour. The passengers were beginning to feel the cold when the driver sprang to his seat, and applied the power The car responded but ran for perhaps a mile and stopped again. Knowing the cause the jitneurN again tinkered for a few minutes and again started his car.
 Seemingly this time he made a suc- cess Of 1t, and the car sped on slowly, past Long HILL Stepney station and beyond Upper Stepney until within a hundred feet of the Newtown line it and could not be coaxed to move an inch. It was showing, blow ing. and drifting by this time and at
