entertained Its members and guests
at a unique Ladies' Night" in the
large ballroom of the willard last
evening. Not alone did the Criterion
Quartet, from New York, give an en-
toyable program. but they showed the
comparison of their voices in what
was called an Edison tone-test re-
cital," singing in connection with
their own records given in the Edison
"Re-Creatioss."
The faithfulness of these "Re-Crea-
tons was given a double test by vir-
tue of an unusual freak in the acous-
tics OF the room. 1t became a faeci-
mating puzzle to find out which was
tho voice of the Edison and which the
softened voices OF the singers. For
in the comparisons the quartet sang
very softly. giving the amount of vol
ume of tone the machine could repro
ducc.
The Criterions are John Young.
Frank Mellor, George Reardon and
Donald Chalmers, They were intro
duced by Worshipful Master Helwig.
Aside from the Edison tone test, the
quartet was heard in concert pro-
gram that included solos by Mr..

able. Their quartet, Dreaming Alone

This quartet is notable for it's one
ness. It's harmonious modulations. and
the variety of selections that always
make them popular.
Charles Curran, from Keith's bill
this week, entertained with some
amusing monologues. Thomas Gan

High Dollar Costing America

PARIS Oct. 1.-THE United
States has begun to suffer heavily
in the world markets because Of the
present high value of the dollar,
according to CASTOR Menier, MEM
Der of the French Senate, and
leading authority on international
finance.
sEHs NO AID FOR FRANCE.
Senator Menier has just returned
America He reports that while he
was cordially received by financial
and political leaders. he failed TO
observe any promises OF substantial
aid for France.
II do not believe the Americans
realize to what extent the high value
of the dollar and the consequent low
value OF the franc are going TO ef.

the Senator today. They should
under stand that one Of these days the
situation OF exchange Will turn against
them and erect real barrier that
Will prevent French merchants from
buying In the United States.
1T IL a fact that French manufac-
turers already have been forced to
make very large purchases in other
markets to escape the appreciation

an example, they have just bought
tens OF thousands OF tons OF sugar

that many of the states of Europe

PRESS SUPPORTS GOVERNMENT.
Newspaper comment was practical

public to support the government.
The Sunday Dispatch was the only
newspaper dissenting from this view.
and that the government Immediately
grant a 2-shilling wage increase to the
miners. The dispatch pointed out that
the miners had negotiated three
months, and that this was an indi-
cation they did not desire the strike,
which was forced upon them.
The Observer advised the govern
ment and the public to resist the
strike unflinchingly and to keep cool
and see II through. The Times warm
ly congratulated the government and
Premier Lloyd George on the stand
taken and said "thc public welcomes
the strike, which ends the suspense.

ment The Times continuing said the
lessons learned during the war would
now be useful, and added that labor
itself would be the real sufferer in
the long run, because the state is
supreme"
Horatio Bottomley,. writing in the
Sunday Pictorial, declared the miners
were striking against democracy
and said 1t was the duty OF the Brit
ish people to sink their differences
and rally around the government
backing 1t to the limit to fight the
strike.
J. II. Thomas, head of the railway
workers, warned the members OF his
organization against taking any hasty
action and urged the transport work
ers to "keep your heads" He advised
letting the executive OF the unions
handle the question. Newspapers gem
orally expect that a compromise will
be found before many days have

JAPAN BREAK
DENIED HERE
Tekyo Government Also Retutes
Rumor OF Split on Imml-
grant Question.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS,
IAternAsioas si News Service.


A monetary furry was created
here late today when report from
Tokyo reached Washington that
negotiations over the immigration
question had been broken of be-
tween the United States and Japan.
JAPANESE DENY REPORT.
At the State Department officials
quickly assured there was no truth In
the report. while the japanese em-
bassy gave IL an immediate and cate
gorical denial as well, saying there
was absolutely no ground whatever
for such a rumor.
Meantime word came TO the Capital
that Pacific coast centers were con-
siderably alarmed over the Tokyo dis
10 the message. much uneasiness had
been caused despite the fact that Of
hcials OF the japanese foreign office
took instant pains TO put out denial.
The origin of the report In Tokyo
is not clear TO officials here. Secre-
tary OF State Colby is-on stumping
tour in behalf OF the League OF Ma
tions, and as he is charged with carry
ing on the diplomatic conversations
bearing on Japanese immigration to
this country, such conversations, as
a matter of course, must be sus-
pended while he is absent from Wash
ington. This is considered the likely
explanation OF the report sent to
Tokyo.

tween japan and the United States

Immediately after the strike began
in the British coal fields yesterday.
the government took active measures
to cope with violence.
All leaves OF absencee from the
army were stopped and all army OFF,
GERS now on leave OF absence were re-
called to duty.
The following reports from indus
trial districts showed the first para
lying results OF the coal strike:
Bolton-Twenty thousand workers
will be idle in Bolton tomorrow
Manchester - Notices have been
posted in most Of the great engineer
ing plants in this district that they
will close down tomorrow. owing to
lack OF fuel. No effort will be made
to operate on part time.
York-The Yorkshire Iron Works
will close down tomorrow. Twenty
thousand workers in the Tees River
Industrial belt will be jobless tomor-
row.
Sheffield-Most Of the small cutlery
and metal firms announce suspension
Of work this week.
PUBLIC Is ALARMED.
The Evening News predicts that, If
the strike lasts a week, millions of
workers will have been thrown into
idleness by next Saturday.
Many newspapers today printed
advice to the people" on the first
pages. This was a typical example:
There is no need of panic; keep
cool. save coal"

however, the country was filled with

Of the fire.
PLANE IN WATER BURNED.
Firemen fought franticaIly to pre-
vent the flames from destroying a new
hangar under construction. The two
hangers which were destroyed were
about l10 feet long and 100 feet wide,
and were of metal and frame con-
struction. A seaplane on the waters

land planes, which were just outside
of the hangers, were saved from de-

Shortly after the fire broke out
southeast, Anacostia and Congress
Heights were covered with clouds Of
smoke. Many thousand Washington

street corners expressed the belief
that the Army War College. which is
located short distance from Boiling

The destroyed hangers cost ap-
proximately 10000 each, according
