 One good thing about these mov- ing pictures is that they enable the actor to spread himself out over any number of theaters. Through the aid of the film spectators in theaters from one coast to another may see Ihe same actor in the same play at tine same time. And the big actors are overcoming their aversion to playing for the movies. Every day new names prominent in the dra- 1natic world are being attached to the screen productions. Some time photographic records will be so per- fected that spectators can hear as we'll as see their favorite actors in the film drama.-Manchester Herald.

MAY AWAIT END Of WAR
TO NAME new ATTACHES
(
Doubtful if Successors to Boyd
and Won Papen Will Be Ap-
pointed Soon.

In the light of reliable informa ton
received here today it is regarded as
doubtful whether the SUCCESSORS to
Capts. Boyd and Won Papen, with
drawn German naval and military at
William until the end of the war.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. is understood to believe
that should successors be appointed
they would Immediately become the
subject of criticism to their detriment
and to the impairment. perhaps. of the
general situation.
In any event SUCCESSORS would not be
named until the withdrawn attaches
reached Germany.
More Correspondence Possible.
Officials of the State Department re-
gard it as a possibility that more dip
lomatic correspondence over the cases
may follow after they have made a re-
port to the admiralty and the war Of
flee and to Emperor William.
The opinion prevails in official cir
cles that now the attaches have been
withdrawn, the German ambassador
finds his position improved. as he Is
represented as feeling that some of
the criticisms directed at the attaches
actually were directed at him. 1t is au-
thoritatively statsd that he may sug-
gest that successors would be unde-
sirable at this time, IL he already has
not done SO.
The ambassador is represented as
being DESTROYS of eliminating from the
situation any factor which might lead
to further difficulties. Naval and mill
tary attaches who were at all active
would, the ambassador was said to be-
lieve, immediately become subjects for
investigation. With no military and
naval attaches at the embassy, Count
Won Bernstorf is represented as feel
ing that his position Is much easier.

bassador, has informed Secretary Lam
sing that he had been authorized to
say for the governments of France and
Great Britain that the allied naval
forces will not modest Capts. Boy-Ed

that they will sail from New York to
Holland about the end Of the month.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador. left the city yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t Is thought probable that
the ambassador has gone to New York
to confer with Capts Won Papen and

VIEWS OF BRITISH PRESS.
London Editers Think Vienna Has
Flouted the United States.

LONDON, December 1s, 1925 pm
The Westminster Gazette says, In re-
gard to the Austrian reply to the Amer
lean note:
Taking Its cue from the German cor
respondence about the Lusitania, vien-
mas purpose is clearly to temporize and
involve the American government in q
tedious exchange of documents. until
presently the American mind will have
fotgotten the incident.
The real question is whether the
United States is or is not tired of this
kind of thing"
The other evening newspapers OF
London contain no leading comment or
the Austrian reply. but their headlines
indicate the trend of opinion.
"Evasive pleading" is the Evening
Standards estimate. The Pail Nal
Gazette's headline is "Audacious Reply
to the United States" and that Of the
Evening News. Austria Flouts Amer
