Way To Speedy Settlement oil
Dispute
"MEETS UNITED STATES
MORE THAN HALF WAY"
Foreign Office Admits Statement
Is In Every Way a Pre-
liminary One

LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE British
press and public accept Great Britain
answer To- the American protest
against the fright Of search" as open
ing the way for speedy and amicabie
settlement OF the points OF dispute
There was general approval today OF
the fact that England maintains its
right to prevent needed assistance
reaching her enemies. But ii was
generally agreed that the conciliatory
tone adopted by the government would
prevent any strained relations With
the United States, something England
Is very anxious 10 avoid.
II was admitted at the foreign office
that the present note was in every
way preliminary. The United States
is expected 10 make definite reply
contradicting some of the contentious
OF the British government. This is
especially SO In the claim made by
the foreign Office that the copper
trade between the United States and
neutral countries has increased so
enormously that there is little ques-
ton that the bulk or the increase is
intended finally TO reach Germany.
The United States, it is understood,
will take the position that in the past
much of this copper, and. in fact,
great quantities of goods now listed
as conditional contraband, reached
these neutral countries through Ger
many. With German commerce swept
of the seas, and with her ports closed
to commerce the countries naturally
have to import direct, in the opinion
of the United States, as already COM
municated by the state department.
The British foreign Office already has
compiled definite figures dealing with
this claim which have been reserved
for us in the coming negotiations.
All OF the British newspapers COM
ment freely on the note and take the
position that IL meets the United
States more than half way"

WASHINGTON.

George Beban, well-known on the
legimate and vaudeville stage for his
Italian characterizations. is the cen
trail figure OF the motion picture play,
The Italian" which is being shown
this week In the Washington theater.
Mr.. Beban has the part OF an ltal-
ian emlgrant, Beppo Donetti, who
comes to America believing the coun-
try holds a warm welcome for him
and a great fortune. His struggles TO
find employment, the rebuffs met on
every hand, his difficulties with the
language and the vicissitudes which
are the portion OF all aliens apparent
ly. are shown on the screen in all
their humor and pathos. Mr.. Beban
is. perhaps, the most sympathetic and
artistic delineator OF Italian character
on the stage, and his impersonation
OF Beppo brought laughs that were
quickly followed by tears and sense
OF pity for the youth whose sunny ma
ture, good humor and trustfulness
were 80 frequently imposed upon be-
cause OF his ignorance OF the Ian
guage, the customs of the country
and the "cuteness" OF his tormentors.
The play is staged with great fdel-
ity and Mr.. Beban is surrounded with
capable actors In the various roles OF
