 LONG STAY IN JAPAN

TOXIC, July 30 (by Associated Press) "A notable reception was held here for Rev. Clay MacCauley of Bos- ton, who after 31 years of missionary effort in Japan, as the representative of the Unitarian church, has just re- turned to his home country. Dr. Mac Cauley was hailed as an American who had labored "for the promotion of re- ligious liberalism in Japan, a better understanding and good will between the United States and Japan, and the furtherance of international cooper ation and peace"
 Among the organizations which joined in the public tribute were the American-Japan Society, the American Association, the American Peace Soci- ety, the Asiatic Society of Japan and the Association Concordia.
 Baron Sakatani presided and the speakers included Viscount Kaneko and other prominent Japanese who voiced appreciation of Dr. MacCauley's long and helpful work for all things for the bettering and uplifting of man. kind.

NEW MODE OF TRAVEL
 ON ARGENTINE RIVERS

BUENOS AIRES, July 30 (by Asso- ciated Press) The use of gliders for transporting passengers and mail on some of the swift and shallow rivers of Argentine may result from trial undertaken on the authority ot the minister of public works. On the trial trip just made on the Bermejo river it was shown that passage Whlch commonly occupies 10 to l5 days by the ordinary steamer could be made regularly with a glider in about ten hours providing mo stops were made. These gliders are a French invention making use of the flying principle for navigation on the surface of rivers. The plan is to import parts and manu- facture the machines in this country.

QUEBEC MECCA OF THOUSANDS
 WITH THIRSTS

OTTAWA, July 30 (by Associated Press) As long as profits from boot logging are what they are, and the only detriment is fine of $2OO or so there will be big money in the boot 1 leggin game and it will be very diff cult for the authorities on either side of the international line to stamp out the traffic
 That is the summary of opinions ex- pressed by Ottawa officials as to the situation regarding smuggling of liquor from Canada to the United States Further, high officials of the royal Canadian mounted police say that while they are doing all in their power to check infractions of the federal laws in this respect, 1t is really for the American authorities to see that liquor does not reach the thirsty souls beyond the imaginary line 5000 miles long.
 The situation apparently is that from three provinces in particular there is large trade in bootlegging to the United States. These are Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. At the same time a respectable quantity of fiery liquid is finding it's way across from the maritime provinces and from Manitoba.
 At Windsor in the surrounding dis tricts the mounted police are carrying on 6 constant campaign against the i illegal liquor vendors, and many have been hauled into court and been con- demned to pay fines from $200 up. One parched Detroit man, however, is said to have parted with $500 for three cases of Scotch whiskey, which had reached him via "the underground route" short time ago, so that the profits in the illegal trade are known to be enormous Information from Windsor and district intimates to the authorities here that some farmers in that vicinity have found it more profitable to smuggle liquor across the border than to farm, and have l let their farm run to weeds while
 they pursue the elusive dollar via the bootlegging route.
 Quebec, it is stated, is the mecca for thirsty thousands of Americans l every weekend, and automobiles pass 1 ing back and forth carry their loads of human and other freight, bound for the Sahara across the border 1 Under these conditions, Canadian police authorities admit that it is practically impossible to enforce the stringent liquor laws at present in force.
 The chief reason for the difficulty of enforcement according to an off, cial of the royal Canadian mounted police, who have under their juris- diction the carrying out of all feder- at laws, is the fact that many peo- pie are not in sympathy with the liquor legislation, and the securing of contraband liquor is regarded in many quarters as an achievement rather than a disgrace.
 !4owever,~if the carrying of liquor into the United States from Canada is to be prevented, it is intimated that | it will have to be done by an army of customs inspectors and police on the American side of the line rather tEan in Canada.

MARINES HAVE
 JOBS IN EVERY
 CORNER WORLD

WASHINGTON, July 30 (by Asso- ciated Press).-For Uncle Sam's ma rines the fighting is never at an end. While the great war and their part in it is history, they still are busy in the far corners of the world settling small disturbances, guarding govern ment property and awaiting any eventuality.
 In Haiti and San Domingo nearly 1000 "devil dogs" as the Germans came to call them after Belleau wood, are maintaining order and bringing re- calcitrant bands to justice. It is not a play" job by any means, and at times lately it has assumed the propor- tions of real war Casualty lists are not lacking and almost every week there come to headquarters here the names of 'Ieathernecks" killed or wounded in clashes with bandits and T6VO1ut1On1StS.
 In China the legation guard of 275 marines at Picking is ever prepared for any emergency and for a time recently it appeared that they would be forced into action against Chinese revolution ists who were threatening to attack the Chinese capital.
 In Nicaragua another legation guard is maintained, while the marines are aboard American warships in Mexican waters prepared on short notice to pro- tect American lives and property should their services be required
 In Haiti the corps is represented by 1,7O0 officers and men in two small regiments comprising the First pro- visional brigade. The brigade is com manded by Colonel J. H. Russell and the two regiments by Colonels L. M. Little and R. c. Berkeley. Of late conditions in Haiti have quieted down to some extent and-although skir- mishes with bandits are still com mon occurrence, it is said at head quarters that the marines ''have the situation we'll in hand"
 In San Domingo an even greater force of soldier-sailors are on duty. Here 2,20O marines, organized into three regiments, form the Second pro- visional brigade, commanded by Brig adler General Logan Feland. In the northern part of the island the Fourth regiment, under Colonel Dion Will jams, is taking things easy, but in the south the Fifteenth regiment is in the field in small attachments, chasing bandits and outlaws and quite often getting a smell of gunpowder. The regiment is commanded by Colonel J.. c. Breckenridge. General Feland and his staff have headquarters at San Domingo City and the Third regiment is stationed there in reserve.
 Since the killing of the bandit leader at Charlemagne and number of his followers and the surrender Of Beno1st Bertraville, another bandit chieftaln, San Domingo has assumed quieter aspect headquarters' officials declare, and it is believed that there Will De little more active fighting on the island. However, the greater part of the brigade probably will be kept at San Domingo for some time to guard against any outbreak.
 Rear Admiral Snowden is military governor of both Haiti and San Do- minog and the marine forces are di- rectiy under his command. N
 No unusual occurrences have been reported recently by Captain J. H. Underhill, commanding the guard at the United States legation at Managua, Nicaragua. Two companies are main tained at this post.

This company has 5000 acres under lease about so miles south of Ranger.

Drama Trembles at
 Comedy Film Raid

If Morris PouzZnier. manager of the Empire theater at New London, Conn, Iis not suppressed he is liable to send "a lot of million-dollar feature films to the scrap heap. MT. Pou=znYer recent dy rejected the whole market of feat ure productions and ran for three days program of nothing by com edieS.
 He warned those who couldn't laugh to stay away. The program included three comedies, with Larry Semon as star. They were '.4'he Head Waiter" Between the Acts and His Home, Sweet Home"
 MT. Pouzznier tried to run. two one reel dramas the first day, which was Sunday, but his audience clamored for the comedies, Monday drew larger crowds than the holiday, and Tuesday brought still greater attendance.
 The exhibitor goes on record with the assertion that Larry Semon is king of the comedians, in New Eng land.

All Players in "Gay
 Lerd QueN" Stars

Supporting Tom Moore in his latest Goldwyn picture, "The Gay Loru Ouex," from the play of that name py Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, IS an eXcep- tionauy strong cast composed TOT most part of players who at one tune for another have been featured i'll big productions, will be shown at the Gen. tral theater today and tomorrow.
 Tom Moore is by nature cheerful and of engaging personality And II the business of making love properly is an art, then MT. Moor is indeed an artist, for Quex's performances Iii thls line are frequent and eminentfy sue cessful and at the same time decidedly masculine.
 As Muriel Eden, Gloria Hope is de lightful The part calls for "a sweet, beautiful girl whose good influence and attractions are to bring QueX to a realization of the things worth while in life, and Miss Hope more than meets the demanu. ~istful, pure, and with sincerity armost child-lilSe, Muriel is a character that fits admirably opposite the gay, 1rre- sponsible Quex.
 Naomi Childers has most difficult role as the stately Duchess or Strood, but she carries it off with her usual cleverness. Her wonderful poise and charm are seen to great advantage in her dignified yet almost pathetic at. tempts to hold Quex's affections after his infatuation for Muriel.
 Hazel Daly is seen as ,7phie Full. garney, the little manicurist, whose quick mentality and skill at intrigue testify to her ability as the portrayer. Completing this unusual cast are P. H. Mccullough, Arthur Housman, Kate i Lester, Sydney Ainsworth, Kathleen Kirkham and Henry Miller, Jr.

Setting is Lavish
 in "Lombardi, Ltd. !"

The new dark stage at the Screen Classics. Inc, studios in Hollywood underwent it's christening recently when a set representing the designing room of an exclusive Fifth avenue dressmaking establishment was com pleted and Bert Lytell played in it one of the big scenes of ''LomDardi, Ltd. ;" now playing at the Eagle theater.

 The set, designed by M. P.

It represented the private retreat of Tito Lombardl, eccentric and lOvable modiste, whichI character MT. Lytell is assuming, and it's furnishing was as luxurious as could be found in the most eXpenslTe mansion.
 The floor was untitled in a thick car pet of deep blue, and the walls were hung with wonderful Oriental tapes tries A low mahogany desk fiilou enc corner, while directly opposite was one of the marvellous gown creations for which Lombardi is noted. Large RocLwood vases were placed aI artis- tic intervals and at one end of the room was a life-like painting in oil, the result of leisure moments or the designer of gowns.
 On the stage the Oliver Morosco production of 'LOmbardl, Ltd, brought much fame to its creators, Frederic and Fanny Hatton. It was picturized by June Mathis, head of the Screen Classics, Inc, scenario staff Alice Lake. who has appeared in two of MT. Lytells recent s--coesses, is again cast for the leading honors op- posite him. Ann May Virginia Cald- well, Jean Acker and Juanita Hansen also have important roles.
