FORCE OF TRADITIONS

T. There is in the United States a
 real conservative feeling for the tradi-
 tional policy, and one of those traditions consecrated by the advice of Washington
 is to abtain from foreign and particu-
 arly from European ehtangiements Even
 for nations which have been used to Eu- ropean alliances the League of Nations
 is felt to be something of a new depart ure.
 This is still more true for the United
 States, which has hitherto held aloof
 rom all outside alliances. For the League os Nations IS not merely plunge into the unknown, but plunge into some thing of which historical advice and
 traditions have hitherto positively dis approved. It does not say that it will not make this neE departure. It recog-
 nizes that world conditions have changeo
 but it desires tinhe to consider to feel
 It's way and to aft with caution. Hence
 this desire for some qualification and reservation.
 ''2. The American constitution not only makes possible, 5but under certain con- ditfons renders inevitable conflict be- tween executive and legislatures. It would be possible, as the covenant or the League of Nations stands, for Presi- dent in some future years to commit the United States through the American rep resentative on the council of the League of Nations to al policy of which the leg islature at that time m:gnt disapprove. The contingency is one which cannot | arise in Great Britain. where the gov ernment is daily responsible to the rep resentative authority of the House of Commons and where in case of conflict l between the House of Commons and the government the latter must either i'm | mediately give way or public opinion must decide between them and assert l Itself by immediate general elections This contingency is therefore not pres | ent to our mi nds, and in ratifying the l League of Nations we have no need to ] make any reservations to provide for a contingency which cannot arise in Great | Britain {, But in the Limited States it is other wise. The contingency is within the re-
 gicn of practical politics. They have req son and. If they so desire. the right to provide against it Reservations with this | object are therefore an illustration not only of party politics, but of great con- stitntional question which constantly arises between the President and the Sena'e, ard itl would be no more fair to
 label this with the name of party poli- | tics than it would be to apply that name 1 to some of the great constitutional strug- gles which arose between the House or
 Commons and the executive authority in Great Britairt in the days before the question had finally been settled in favor
 of the House of Commons.

''1'he Willow Tree" is laid in Japan, and tells in wierd, fantastic story of an image that came to life in the form of a beautiful maiden. The play is delicious comedy and tender pathos, and it affords Viola Dana one of the best vehicles on the screen that this dainty and talented little actress has thus far had.
 J. H. Benrimo and Harrlson Rhodes are the gifted authors of The Willow Tree" as the stage play. MT. Rhodes was co-author of that famous comedy drama, "A Gentleman From Missis- Sppi," while Mir. Benrimo was co-au- thor Of The Yellow Jacket" The Willow Tree" was enormously sue cessful when it was first produced on Broadway by Cohan & Harris, and the screen version Is said to be an I'm provement over the original stage play.

It is sweet and appealing love story.

Every new effort of that superb screen actress, Clara Kimball Young, brings new laurels to her mounting fame. Another revelation of the many sided talent of this brilliant star is disclosed in what must be conceded to be the greatest photo-dramatic achievement in her long and success fuI career. The picture is ''Mid-Chan- Englands s great playwright. and deals with the most critical period of mar ried life, which is fittingly compared to the stormy center Of the English Channel-Mid- d-Channel-which all voy- agers must pass. and which is beset with treacherous currents that are as fatal 9s they are unsuspected am un- seen.
 The temptations of the beautiful Zoe Biundell, married to a man whose only use for his mate is 2s a tool for the entertainment of his friends and a stepping-stone to his climb on the ladder or worldly success, are such as to awaken heartfelt sympathy. When Zoe. abused and neglected, seeks satisfaction of her emotional nature in another's attentions, we can hardly blame her course. particularly when her husband flies to other wom- en for diversion. The brave efforts of the family friend. Peter Mottram. to effect a reconciliation are touch ing. Ills words strike fire in the heart of every lover-"Theres a shoal in

Gripping Mystery
 Is Solved in New
 Bennett PhotOplay

A mystery story that grips you at the start and holds you fascinated until the end of the picture, is "The Haunted Bedroom" Thomas H. Ince's latest Paramount picture, starring dainty Enid Bennett, which will be shown at the Central Theatre Tues day and Wednesday and EagA Thea tre Thursday.
 With a grace and feeling does Miss Bennett portray the character of the newspaper reporter who is assigned to ferret out a ghost mystery that has aroused a southern community. The actions of the weird and myster ious being are logically explained with reason for every apparent invasion from the spirit land.
 The deftness with which unusual sights and sounds are explained on the screen is remarkable. To produce the desired effects Mir. Ince set new standard in photography. The light ing effects surpass anything yet seen on the screen. and aside from creating a spooky atmosnhere give some won derful artistic pictures.
 Miss Bennett seems admirably ad- apted to the character of newspaner girl. She has been surrounded by carefully selected cast that include Dorcas Mathews, Jack Nelson, Lloyd Hughes. William Conklin, Otto Hoff- man. Harry Archer and Joe Anthony.
 The feature was directed bv Fred Nihlo and some masterful touches of oCp,od bava hapO oivan aG a relief to the tenselv dramatic mystery story. The story grips and bolds the mind you forget you are lOoking at a pic ture and live the interesting exper- ierces of the gip rerorter who un- ravels a sit-istion that baffled the met rnnNlitan defective.
