AMERICANS WILL

For Property in Germany

Says Palmer

Chicago, May 29.-"Americans tempo
rarily resident in enemy territory during
the war will have little difficulty in hav-
ing their property returned to them un-
der the new conditions following the
signing of the armistice,' Attorney Cen
ersl Palmer to-day told the Illinois Bar
association, discussing the work of the
alien property custodian's office.
''When the enemy character of persons
rests solely upon their residence, it will
be seen that by change of residence into
non enemy territory they lose their enc
my character. The attorney general has
adopted liberal Interpretation of the
act, which permits such persons when
they lose their enemy character to be
treated as if they had always been non
enemy persons and to have their proper
ty returned upon a proper showing of
loyalty"
American citizens who lost their prop
erty in Germany will be allowed, in the
opinion of the attorney general, to pre-
sent claims to this government, which
will see that they are reimbursed from
German holdings here. He said that
would be much better than turning prop
erty back to Germans, for he foresaw
that the Germans would not be well
come as business men upon American
soil within the next decade at least
Much new light on the work of run

general, who was alien property custo-
dian before he entered the cabinet. He

Louise Closer Hale,
Actress, Author and
Never Failing Delight

ITO have gained distinction in two
of the arts is the exceptional
- good fortune of Louise Closer
Hale, who will have an important
part in For the Defense" the new
play coming to the Boyd Sunday
nights, in which John Williams pre-
sents Richard Bennett. Miss Hale,
we'll remembered in Omaha, is ia
nous both as an actress and as an
author. She is the wife of the late
Walter Hale, with whom she trav-
eled about the world and wrote
stories of their venturings that
brought delight to many readers.
On her own account Miss Hale has
written several novels and many
stories. She was born in Chicago,
educated in indianapolis, and al
ways had a great desire to act. Her
debut took place in 1895.
When one delves into the history
of this actress the striking fact is
noted that her work on every occa-
sion receives mention as exception
ally fine. No matter what the role
she made it portrait to be reck-
cned with. Her activities have in
cluded appearances in many, many
plays but, for the purposes of this
article, a few of the more recent ones
will be sufficient to recall her to
playgoers.
Notably Miss Hale was with Ar
mold Daily when that actor and
Winchell Smith pooled the couple
of dollars they owned and produced
candida" Then she was with
"The Rainbow" when Henry Miller
and Ruth Chatterton played in it.
Her fairy berylune in "The Blue
bird" at the New Theater in New
York was a performance never to
be forgotten. For melodrama
many playgoers will remember her
in "The Sins of Society" and Ar
iona" London also knows this ac-
tress, for she appeared there during
long run as Miss HAY in MRS.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" and
Just recently went over and played
for a short time the part of the
mother in 'Uncle Sam" which we
knew as Friendly Enemies"
