SAY OAC|A PROTEST
MAY Be WITHDRAWN
State Department Officials
Hopeful That Great Britain
Will Accede to Request.

State Department officials today were
hopeful that the British government
would accede to its request regarding
the sailing Of the steamer Dacia. cotton
laden. from Port Arthur. Tex. to Rot
terdam. This request covers a single
round trip, and leaves the question Of
transfer of registry to future determin-
alton.
lnasmuch az the destination has been
shifted from Bremen to Rotterdam to
meet the emergency. officials today were
more inclined to the insistent on their
position than heretofore. They main
tained that the British government
had little basis for objection to q
single trip to q neutral port, particu-
larly with the proviso that her right to
contest the registry problem IL re.
served.
Moreover. authorities felt that in the
end the British suspicion Of the bona
fide character Of the transfer would
be satisfactorily met.
Release Of more American ships by
Great Britain. reported from London,
inclined authorities to the belief that
England will hereafter use greater care
toward American shipping. ~ the re-
suit OF the American shipping protest

Picture Play House
Helps En1ancipdte
The Women of
Egypt.

-- The truth Of the statement Of a
distinguished Englishman that when
Mary Pickford pouts or John Bunny
laughs or Broncho Billy tells some-
one to throw up his hands," the
action is reflected around the world.
Is given substantial proof In a COM
munication which has recently been
received from Homer Croy. the cx-
pert camera man, who IL at present
on a world tour In the interest of the
Universal Company. Mr.. croy is
just now completing the last few
laps of his globe-encircling trip. and
when last heard from was In Cairo,
Egypt. His letters, which have been
printed in the Moving Picture World,
have contained many instances Of
finding American pictures in the
most out-of-the-way sections of the
earth. The American picture, ac-
cordinR to Mr.. Croy. is the most
. popular form Of amusement among
' the natives Of the orient.
so popular are they" he writes,
that in every city you come to the
name America figures In The name
Of the theater. In Bombay Is the
America Indian Cinema Theatcr; in
Cairo Is the American Cosmosrapil.
In visiting the American Cosmo-
graph here in Cairo. was impressed
by three things.
AS was walking up the street
to the moving picture theater about
holding slips In their hands that
looked like cigar coupons. They
thrust theLl into my face ard yelled
at the top Of their capable voices
that l buy the slips. II you 80 to
, q confectionery shop and buy
dimes worth Of chocolate they give
you a coupon. II you will take this
coupon to Nthe picture theater the
box office will give you a reduction
Of s cents on any seat you buy. The
boys who bore down on me were
trying to sell these coupons. From
q boy you can buy three coupons
for q. nickel. As q result, hardly
anyone goes into the theater paying
full price.
The second thing that impressed
me was the way they get around
using French or English films and
fixing the titles 90 that the mixed
The audiences in Cairo IRE very
b. cosmopolitan. The programs are
printed in four languages. II the
management wanted to change the
sub-titles on an American film in
Arabic Nhe native language Of
Egypt. only q part of the audi
ence would understand. They had
lust as well leave the titles In Eng
iish or French. This they do, and
on the wall near the screen they
throw by means of magic lantern
the Arabic translation. As soon as
the running film flashes subtitle
the same words in Ari)bic appear on
the wall. thrown by the magic lam
tern.
"The third thing that will always
remember about the Cairo theaters
Gently it was IMPOSSIBLE for an
picture theater. An Egyptian
in public. Tho great. Joy OF gaz-
ing on that Is reserved for her hus-
band. You can't imagine how par
ticular they are OF their women's
faces. Their women wear slashed
skirts that made me gasp. but they
have. to keep the towel over their
was impossible for women to go to
a picture theater where they had
to sit among the hoi polloi and be
rudely gazed at by mere men. The
moving picture men gave this GUS
tom the half Nelson by building
s'Hcial boxes for the women. which
they call harem boxes. These have
fine blinds drawn over them.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-Postai avia-
tors carrying first class mail by air
line Will be as commonplace as railway

ing to the prediction Of Second AS
sistant Postmaster General Stewart. in
an address at the annual dinner of the
Aero Club Of America at the Hotel St
Regis last night.
Mr.. Stewart declared that 1t would
be the settled policy OF the department
to knock and knock again at the doors

crude. staring men in the pit below.
The husband cannot sit in the har-
em box with his wife. OH. no, that
would never do, as some other
woman might buy ticket for that
box. When the show Is over she
goes out a side entrance and steps
into closed carriage without
masculine soul having seen her face
during the evening.
THE moving picture theater Is
just beginning to have a big run
with the women Of Egypt. All their
lives they have been shut up. and
now for the first time they are
having a chance to see what Is
going on outside the doors of their
harems. Egyptian women call the
name Of the moving picture thcater

Resolutions of Respect.

The death. of Mr.. ]. c. Dal
rymple has doubtless saddened
the hearts of all who knew
him. This is written in
reverence of his memory and
attainments as a co-Iaborer in
Gods vineyard and a true law
abiding citizen.
He cultivated but few of the
light graces of life, always plain,
simple and direct in his modes
of habit and thought. His many
acts of kindness fell as the dews
OF heaven unseen and unfelt
He was self possessed, good
tempered, meek and patient,
with an expansive. genial heart
that looked much to the welfare
OF others, and was ever ready
for their sakes 10 sacrifice his
own.
He was laborer with us in
Gods vineyard for six years
always prompt and orderly, his
conversations always pure
agreeable, interesting and nrof;t
able.
Therefore, be it resolved, that
the members of Cross Roads
church desire to express their
appreciation for his faithful end
efficient work.
Resolved, that we extend to
his bereaved wife and family
our heart felt sympathy in this
sad bereavement.
If we keep the faith we shall
'ee him again for there is no
1eath. The stars GO down to
shine upon some fairer shore.
md bright in Heavens jewclcd
crown they shine for evermore
We may we'll morn the death
ot such a Young man, full of
strength, power, promise and
lnfIlled possibilities, but we all
must bow our head beneath the
ouch of death, but may we ex-
claim.

The outlook for the cotton
market is not what we would
like to see, but it could be worse.
There is great difficulty IN ship.
ping to Germany and Austria
because of the English blockade.
but it IS claimed that the Allies
will use enough more than the
normal supply to balance what
Germany ordinarily consumes.
Cotton is extensively used in the
manufacture of ammunition, and
the Allies will doubtless use more
than they ordinarily do, but how
this increase will compare with
the usual German supply we are
not in position to say.
With crop four million bales
Snorter than last year, and with
the United States government
ready to aid, it seems that con.
ditions should not be so bad after
all. We are inclined to take an
optimistic view and hope for the
best. We still contend that the
people will be in much better
shape this fall than last, even
with cotton as low. We have
prepared to live at home.
