Japan's Strategic screen.

Acquisition OF the Pacific Islands
north OF the equator by Japan under the
guise of a mandate together with the
Island of Yap. valuable as q cable sta
ton, has given new angle to the prob
lem. These Pacific Islands form e. screen
between the American home base and
the iasu,ar possessions and naval bases
at Guam and Cavite. p J.
Gen. Mitchell, head Of the Army Air
Service. last week testified before a SEN
ate committee indicating that the battle
ship class has lost Its value. which re-
suited in quick retort from Secretary
Daniels together with a protest to Sec
retary Baker against misleading use OF
confidential information furnished to the
army by the navy.
Advocates OF the battleship as the
unit OF building are already being re-
ferred to as the "Oid school," while the
New school" maintains II has a mo-
nopoly on the latest ideas and that the
aeroplane, the torpedo and the sub
marine have made the battleship obso-
iete.
A recent statement by President-elect
Harding added to what he said at Nor
folk on his return from Florida has
given the general impression that he will
not be swerved from his policy OF see-
ing the United States build up a strong
navy 20 complement It's foreign policy
and its merchant marine.

BY LANES ". DEAN

NEW YORK-The film version
of 1.-The Sheik" will be released early
in November and 1t will probably
prove to be as great a financial sue
cess as E. NJ. Hull's novel from
which it was adapted.
And all of hat is more or less of
accident
The manuscript of the book was
rejected by a reader of a publishing
house.
Later the script fell into the
hands of the general manager of the
concern. He saw possibilities for
popular favor and published the
novel.
The c-ognoscenti condemned the
book as fit for lowbrows only. Evil
IDENTIFY the country is overrun with
lowbrows-more than 200 600 copies
of the book have been sold. The
publishers are thousands of copies
behind in their press run.
However, those who expect to find
a screen story il keeping with the
novel are doomed to disappointment.
No board of censors would pass a
film that would closely follow such
q story.
This palpably points to argument
against firm censorship-or to argu-
ment for book censorship.
For once this writer feels kindly
disposed toward any form of censor
ship that would prevent either book
or film publication of such a peurile
,xEQ{M plot as that of 1.-The Sheik.'
* who would gainsay such a work
to IAN army of readers whose ranks
promise some day to be as numerous
rs Those of the A. f. F.?
On the other hand. the film will
probably throw the cloak of marital
Yespectability about the shoulders
of the heroine in the first reel. Such
a garment is denied her in the print
ed story of her affair with the desert
chieftain who would be classed as
regent of the cavemep were he to
inhabit a more mountainous terrain.
Atmosphere of 1.-THE Sheik"
No better idea of the nature of the
story of "The Sheik" a be gained
than by reading those phrases in ad-
vertising matter on the film
"A flaming romance of desert love,
Ringing away the trappings of civil
~ization, leaving the lady" only a
woman the gentleman" only a
nan.

Censorship JOke

We Americans are all net up
over the matter of censorship, but
the most ardent %proponent or oppo-
nent will enjoy this bit of censorship
assininity in Australia.
The censors of that country or
dered the title of the film version of
Irwin Beds" changed to "A Sleep
less Night"
That would be like changing Pas
SION to Emotion" or THE Old
Nest to "A Forsaken Home"
All Of which goes to prove that
censors can make as silly changes
in titles as the producers themselves
ear make.

Action on "Peter Pam

There has been a lot of talk and
very little action in the matter of
screening Peter Pan" The nearest
thing TO action pointing toward the
conversation of this tale to the screen
is the news that John S. Robertson
has examined almost a hundred chill
dren in England in an effort to find
suitable actors for the juvenile roles.
After Robertson's fidelity to Barrie's
story of Sentimental Tommy" ii is
to be hoped that he directs the
screen version of "Peter Pan" and
that he will do as well with 1t as he
did with the former story.

D'ANNUNzIO PLANS
TO OPPOSE ITALY
INsURGENT LEADER DECIDES TO
DEFY ULTIMATuM OF TIE
ITALIAN REGULARS.

Trieste.-Gabrielle d'AnnunzIo call
ed meeting of his cabinet of rec
tors" in a council of war, and it was
decided to remain firm and oppose
ltaly's enforcement of the Rapallo
treaty at the expiration of the time
set by General Caviglia, the Italian
commander in chief, in his ultimatum.
Caviglia ordered that the blockade
should be effective beginning at 6
O'Clock the night Of December 81, by
land and sea, to the territory OF the
state Of Fiume and to territories out
side of Fiume occupied by the Fium-
ian troops, and to the islands of Veg
liza and Arbe. The troops were order
ed to proceed according to interna-
tional law and the treaties in force,
by whatever means, against any one
who should attempt to violate the
blockade order.
After delimiting geographically the
zone Of the blockade, the order Of
General Caviglia gave ships belong
ing to the state of Fiume 4S hours af-
ter the time of the blockade to with
draw from the zone of the blockade,
and an equal time limit was set for
the departure Of foreign subjects, citi-
zens or legionaires. The order added
that after the expiration of this time
limit ships or persons endeavoring to
force the line of blockade by land or
sea would be compelled to face the
consequences prescribed by interna-
tional law and the treaties in force.
The Trlbuna says that although Ga
brielle d'Annunzio repeatedly has said
that fraternal blood snould not be
shed his legionaires were the first to
fire on the Italian torpedo boat de-
stroyer Zeffiro, and that they also
threw bomb against a patrol Of cara
bineers, killing one man and wound
ing two others. These episodes have
embittered the situation. and demon
strates the possibility Of even graver
consequences. the newspaper says.
A dispatch from Rome credited to
the Stsfani Agency said that the de-
stroyer Zefiro shelled d'Annunzio's
forces at Veglia.
Signor Bonomi, minister Of war. ex-
planned before the Foreign Committee
Of the Chamber Of Deputies that the
landing of some of the Russian Gen.
eral Wrangers troops in Dalmatia is
no apprehension whatever to
the Italian government. There was
no idea that they would take any mill
tary action, he added.

FULL PREPARATION
NOT TO BE ASKED
ALLIED EXPERTS TO RECON-
MEND THAT CONCESSIONS BE
MADE TO GERMANY.

Brussels.-Payment by Germany OF
1OO. 900, 100000 marks in gold remains
the basis upon which experts and del.
egates to the second financial confer
ence. in session here, are working.
This amount, although far below what
was authorized by the treaty of Yer.
sailles, is considered collectable on
ly on condition that Germany is help
ed along the lines suggested by the
German delegates.
Allied experts in secret individual
reports recognize Germany's real ne
cessities, and delegates are impressed
by arguments that Germany is an in
solvent creditor who must be main.
tanned as going concern. The ex.
tent to which strict fulfllment of the
versailles treaty may be waived de.
pends upon the allied governments,
before which recommendations have
been made by the delegations.
German delegates are still working
on the list of questions submitted by
the allies, which covers a wide range.
Allied experts believe direct taxation
In Germany is not high enough. The
Germans are being asked whether
their taxes on alcohol, beer, tobacco
an dsugar are as high as those on the
same products in France and Great
Britain. Other questions concern
the German financial policy relative
to taxation Of wealthy citizens and
possible tax increases within a year
or two.
The German representatives have
been asked to estimate the amount of
German wealth at present in neutral
countries and to tell how Germany
plans to compensate her citizens for
property sequestrated and liquidated
abroad. 1t is suggested that German
wealth in neutral countries has been
accumulated by the practice of Ger.
man firms ssipping goods at cost to
associates in neutral countries.
Delegates have been pledged to Sc
crecy, but there is a general impres.
sion they will recommend that their
governments permit Germany to keep
some Of the 350,oo0 tons of shippings
she was ordered to surrender under
the Versailles treaty.
British shipping and liquidation OK.
perts arrived here for final confer
ences with the Germans before ad.
journment. 1t is believed he>e that
when the conference assemblies next
month it will be well on the way to.
ward a settlement Of the reparatiens
question.

JAPAN YIELDS ON
ALIEN LAND LAW
oRiENTAlS WITHDRAW PRO.
TESTS AGAINST NEW CALI
FORNIA STATUTE.
NO CONCLUSIONS REACHED
Conference Is Understood to Have
Been in Accordance With a Sus-
sestion Made by the State
Department.

Observation-Disclosures was made
by Representative Kahn OF California
that he believed reports are true
that the Japanese government had
withdrawn its opposition to the re-
Gently ratified California law prohib-
iting acquisition by Japanese of title
to real estate in that state. The Cal
nornia representative made the state
ment after a conference today with
Roland S. Morris, American ambas-
sador to Toxic. Announcement was
made by Representative Kahn that a
meeting of the California members
of the House had been called to dis
cuss aspects of the negotiations now
being carried on between the United
States and Japanese governments
looking toward a treaty defining the
rights of japanese in the United
States.
The principal matter to be taken
up at the conference, Representative
Kahn said, is the proposal that the
California legislature be asked to en-
act a substitute for the recently rat
ified law. The substitute would pro-
hibit any alien from acquiring land in
California, and would thereby remove
the contention of the Japanese gov
ernment that the present law is dis
criminatory.
Mr.. Kahn, who conferred at the
State Department with Ambassador
Morris, who is representing the Unit
ed States in the negotiations conduct
ed by the Japanese government
through its ambassador here, Baron
Shidehara, said his impression was
that no definite conclusions as to the
proposed treaty between the two ma.
tions had been reached.
The conference is understood to
have been in accordance with a sug-
gestion made by the State Depart
ment that leaders in both houses of
Congress be consulted with regard to
the proposed treaty with a view to OBJ
tanning approval from Congress for
various provisions of the pact when
it is completed These consultations
are understood to have included con.
ferences with Senator Johnson of Cal
ifornia, the only member of the For.
eign Relations Committee from the
Pacific Coast statess and Representa-
tive Johnson Of Washington, chair
man of the House immigration Com
mittee.
