Balfour of England, Leon Bourgeois of France. Paul lily .nans of Belgium, Marquis Imperali of Italy, K. Wellington Roo of China, Count Quinones de Leon of Spain and Gastoa da Cunha of Brazil, all mem bers Of the council, were present. The fact that they were ready for today's session and were not represented by substitutes in any case, was taken as an indication of the importance the council attached to the Silesian ques- ton.
 Viscount Ishii, president of the council had prepared a formal report on Silesia, and was ready to present the documentary evidence placed in lis hands by the supreme allied coun- cIl. In some quarters it was believed today that the council of the league after hearing the report would decide to refer the question to one of it's members for more detailed treat ment. There was little expectation that decision would be announced for some considerable time.
 It was anticipated that the assembly of the lea que which will meet here next Monday might be able to finish it's work in three weeks. It was indi- cated thot Paul Hymans of Belgium will be elected president of the as- sembly.

JAPANESE CONCERNED
Disarmament Question in Far East and Washington Conference Occupy Minds of Nipponese Statesmen.


 Tokio, Aug. 29-(By Associated Press )--Premier Hara and Field Marshal Prince Yamagata, one of the elder statesmen, had a lengthy con- versation yesterday which newspapers here understood to have been entire Iy devoted to the conference on dis armament and Far Eastern questions to be held in Washington this au- tdmn. It was looked upon as indi- eating that Field Marshal Yamagata IS still lnfluentiol in the empire, and aroused considerable speculation.
 Several newspapers declare that Premier Hara has been disturbed by the alleged insistence of the general staff that the Japanese army must be maintained at a strength of 21 di- ,isions and that, therefore. he sought by counsel the field marshal as d leader of the militarist element. It is understood the South Manchuria rail way is planning to ask that it be rep resented on the Japanese delegati Jent to Washington. Field Marshal Yamagata was recently appointed a director on this railway and has been Informally named as a member of the Japanese mission going to the United States.

BRITISH USE TROOPS
Infantry and Cavalry Rushed to India s Revolutionary Territory; Expect Up rising Confined to One Section.

London, Aug. 29. - (By Associated Press)-ReportS today from the rev. olutionary area of Malabar British India indicating that British troops and cavalry had arrived there, tended to confirm the belief in London that the uprising would be confined to this area, although none here would deny the seriousness of the situation or it's potentlalities for spreading.
 The revolutionary area is more or less isolated from the other portions of India which might be expected to lend cooperation in the movement if any were forthcoming, but it would not surprise official circles here if at least the fanaical Mohammedans along the northern frontier, should take this occasion to writo another chapter in their almost continuous warfare against the British.

FIRST MOVIE STAR IN CALIFORNIA

THE first motion picture shot
i made on the Pacific coast was the
result of the weather. The late Francis
Boggs was producing a story which
called for socky cliff, an expanse Of
water and a steady light productive Of
the desired photography.
The release date Of the picture had
been set so there was no time to wait
for the storm raging east Of the Rockies
to subside. So Boggs and his company
crossed the mountains, landing at San
Diego, Calf. They journeyed north
ward along the coast and "set up at
La Jolla the first motion camera ever
used in the West-and Tom Santschi
was the hero.
In April, 1909, Santschi took up
his permanent home in California. On
a vacant lot along what Is now auto =,
mobile Row" in Los Angeles, the first
motion picture stage of the coast was
erected.
Tom Santschi, the pioneer hero Of
Beyond the Trail" the two-reel
western drama which is now playing, is
thus n pioneer in truth as well as in
fiction.
