TO DISCUSS LIABILITY OF UNITED STATES FOR
 SEIZED GERMAN SHIPS
Bx AssociatAd Press

Paris, June l.-The delicate question as to whether the United States ought to pay the reparations commission for the 100000 tons of German shipping seized at the outbreak of the war is likely to come up in the near future in connection with the settlement with Germany for all payments in kind she has made to the allies.
 The maritime subcommission to the reparations commission has submitted its final report which shows that the subcommission and the Germans agree on the figure of tonnage delivered. The Germans original, claim was 4000, ,000 tons. which they valued at 1000 900, O0U gold marks The Germans now vir- tually agree With the commissions fig ures of 2.100,o0o tons, but they are still. far above the value fixed the con- mission.
 The reparations commission has never recognized the Lloyd George Wilson agreement regarding German shipping seized in American ports. It may be necessary for the allies to reach an agreement before the repar- ations commission can fix the amounts that should be paid in for the ship ping turned over.

'..WHAT's YOUR HUSBAND DOING.
 DELIGHTFUL MAJESTIC PLAY

In delightful comedy drama, Whats Your Husband Doing" at the New Majestic, the Pickert players are furnishing one of the treats of the week in amusement circles.
 The play is fun and mirth built around the jealous suspicious of the wives of two young divorce lawyers. Taking 1t for granted that all CO., respondents in divorce suits are neces- sarily beautiful and attractive, the wives are In quandry as to the prob- able outcome of their husbands breezy profession.
 | Ralph W. Chambers and Jack Motte, as the two divorce lawyers, simply bring down the house with their droil team work. MT. Chambers fine talent for comedy is a well established fact in local theatrical circles. AS this is one of the few comedy roles in which MT. Motte has been seen here. he gives distinct surprise to many who have admired him in deeper roles in hiA droll and witty impersonation of Wid- gast, one of the law partners. The suspicious and loving wives are enacted by Miss Lillian Pickert and Miss Marie Davidson, with sure touch for comedy. Miss Maude Duval Is very good as the girl who drinks the absyr- the at Honeysuckle Inn and thereby causes numerous complications for the lawyer.\ who is only with her on a business appointment.

BREACH BETWEEN EXPRESS COMPANIES HAS REACHED l. [. |.

Washington. June 1.-(Spec;al)- American Railway Express company and the Southeastern Express company, which was organized May 1. The in- terstate commerce commission has been advised of the situation. and is making effort to secure settlement 'out of court"
 One of the principal complaints is that the American company. in order to avoid the necessity of patronizing the Southern Railway company, resorts to circuitous routes with attendant loss of time
 Vice President Elliott of the Ameri- can company, in a letter to the com mission, says:
 we have received through your commission and other sources more than 50 complaints, but upon taking the matter up with the complainants they have so far been unable to furnish any specific instance of delay. This indicates that someone interested in the Southeastern Express company has talked to them and told them to be- lieve that our service is not as good as that of the other company. but which Is not backed up with facts"
 The interstate commerce commission states: The subject Is being handled through informal channels and it, is hoped that by such procedure any cir cuitous routing that may be found to result in less efficient service to ship pers or consignees will be avoided"
 The Southeastern has offices where ever the Southern touches.

NO SHARP IMPROVEMENT SOON. SAYS HOARD

or the new crops. NO SHARP IMPROVEMENT
 SOON, SAYS BOARD
 Washington, June 1.---While "a defi- mite turn for the better" has been taken apparently by some branches of industry and the business outlook for the season continues generally more favorable, there is but litt.e prospect of "an immediate sharp Improvement of conditions,"i the federal reserve board declared tonight in its revIew of the financial and economic situa- tion throughout the country during May.
 Recovery in production and distri- button has been in progress during the months. the board said, but slowly and greatly retarded. However, it added, the more hopeful attitude which has shown itself among business men re- gently has continued and is preparing the way for active development in 1 some industries.
 | Financially, the month was one Of | increasing strength and of more pros porous outlook, the board asserted In various sections of the country, it was explained, there has ben an easing Of the demand for funds resulting in part
 
 and partially from the adjustment ot 1 business to new conditions. | Irregularity and lack of uniformity | still exists to a marked degree in the l retail price field the board observed. l Serious obstacles to the final adjust ment of wages was forecast unless re- tail prices move much faster to their 1 final basis.
 Adjustment between wages ard prices, especially retail prices, is ex- hibiting special difficulties, the board | maintained, while readjuStment in l wages has been slow.
 | Wholesale Prices Unstable | Instability of wholesale prices, the | board asserted, was retarding buying | for future delivery in many lines, both | In industries where recovery was Tn progress and in those which were still l declining. In the wholesale and re- tail trade there has been some reces- sion, mainly seasonal it continued, the reaction being only sporadic as gains made by business generally in preced- ing months have been retained on the 1 whole.
 Foreign trade during the month was described as still arrested or depressed, with it's movement continuing toward more nearly equal balance of imports and exports. Especially noteworthy in l the foreign trade situation has been the volume of goods as reflected in the | figures showing decreased foreign shipments and increased receipts from i abroad during the month, the board said.
 l Unemployment was on the increase in May, the board reported despite the anticipated improvement in the labor market, due to the opening of spring agricultural activities. However, 1t added, voluntary unemployment has been considerably augmented as re- suit of increasing labor difficulties ac- companying wage reductions | Agriculturally, the board declared. ! the situation during the month may be characterized as unfavorable and back ward. The wet, cold, weather of May 1t explained, interfered with crop de- velopment and did great damage in | some sections. The fruit over wide areas has suffered and the develop ment of the cotton crop throughout the south has been retarded by unfavora- ble conditions.

THREE STAR ACTS
 BOOKED AT LYRIC

What is declared to be one of the best bills that has ever graced the Lyric theatre will be presented the last half of the week, numbering what Is scheduled as headliner, added attrac- ton and special feature. Strictly in- terpreted, this means, in the parlance of vaudeville house managers, three tip-top bills.
 Headline honor has been accorded Lorraine Howard and Verne Sadler, who will present what thuy call q harmon ious comedy sonologue entitled, Wed ding Belles." One of this duo promptly proves she is different by telling her age, which Is not IS, but 45, and after this the two proceed to do many things that when told about sound the same but when accomplished by this team are quite otherwise. Usually, theIr audiences are in continual uproar of laughter.
 Clayton and Drew Players, in a laughing travesty called When Caesar Marks Anthony" in the added attrac. tion, put on the thirty third degree in absurdity. according to those who have seen them provoking gales of laughter that roll forth one after another.

Their sketch embodies singing, smart talk and a delightful surprise. The names of both Angel and Fuller are familiar from the Alt lantic to the Pacific, and that they are held in the highest esteem by theatre goers is evidenced by the remarkable success they have attained

"OUTSIDE THE LAW" PLEASING PICTURE AT TRIANON

With Priscilla Dean as stony, hearted queen of the underworld. and Lon Chaney as a powerful rat in whose heart turks no slightest ray of loyalty or fear, and with half a dozen other ac- tors whose presence alone may make a picture, "Outside the Law" is keeping the screen of the Trianon theatre what many describe as the lurking place of romantic and mysterious drama this week. Nominally crook play" Tod Browning has woven into his picture a wealth of human action and emotion against the warp of an intense oriental devotion to an ideal.
 After Priscilla Dean endeared her self to screen patrons as a wicked darling, a wildcat, a spitfire. an ex- quisite thief, some felt partway resent ment at seeing her as Turkish beggar maid. In "Outside the Law" Miss Dean has the part she was born for her admirers say-that of Silky Mol Madden, sweet, wise and unsentimental
 Lon Chaney plays Black Mike. Silva. product of San Francisco's slums whose revenge is only foregone when death steps in. Chaney fascinated us in "The Miracle Man." he astounded us in The Penalty" but in "Outside the Law" he reaches what many believe Is the zenith of his dramatic art with a dual characterization that Is absolutely marvellous.
