AMERICAN PLAN FOR NAVAL
REDUCTION A COMPROMISE

Washington, Nov. 16.-As techni-
cal experts of the big five sat down
today to work over the details of the
naval reduction proposals, there were
indications that the plan presented by
the American delegation was in itself
a compromise on what American ma
val experts had first proposed.
No authoritative pronouncement
was made but there were intimations
that the most vital element IF the
plan-the naval replacement scheme
had been framed by the four Amer
ican delegates themselves, all civil
.ians, the original scheme suggested
by the American naval advisers hav-
ing been regarded as probably un-
acceptable to Great Britain and ia
pan.
1t was the wish of Secretary
Hughes and his colleagues to propose
a program so generous to the other
two powers that there would be every
reason to expect its acceptance as
evidence of American good faith.
So far as the program as presented
goes, some naval officers here see in it
items which they believe could have
been presented in better terms for
the United States without danger to
the success of the conference, but
there seems to be substantial agree
ment that Americas interests have
been safeguarded, both in the imme-
diate reductions proposed and in the
ultimate limitation program.
Now that the matter is back in the
naval experts hands, it seems possible
that the original position of the Am
erican advisers would tend to stifffen
their opposition to any modification
of the American replacement propos-
ais they may regard as disadvanta-
geous to the United States. There
is little doubt, for instance, that the
British suggestion for limitation CT

1t is seldom that we receive an
anonymous letter, and this is the first
time we have considered one-other
than to consider the source. Just to
show our unknown patron that some
other intelligent people Cor one at
least) do not share his opinion as to
"The Cabinet of DR.. Caligari," We
quote few lines of comparison by
Robert E. Sherwood, picture critic in
Life of July Z, 1921 We knew that
the picture was considered master
piece by some of the best critics, but
we were in doubt as to the verdict OF
our patrons, as it was something en-
tirely different, and we took chance.
It has been our policy to present the
best that is made.
AS a strong favorable criticism OF
"The Golem," picture bearing some
what of a similarity to EsThe Cabinet
of DR.. Caligari," Mr., Sherwood says
he rather hesitates "to recommend
anything that seems to possess un-
usual artistic merit and dramatic
strength" as "the fans don't want
pictures that penetrate beyond their
optic nerves." Mr.. Sherwood says
the scenes in "The Golem" possess
the weirdly tortuous quality of those
in The Cabinet of DR.. Caligari,' but
lack the cubistic sharpness, and the
occasionally absurd freakishness.
Mr.. Sherwood concludes his criti-
cism as follows: "But it will find its
audience among the smaller groups
of determined hopefuls throughout
the country who like to believe in the
vast artistic possibilities of the silent
drama-who look forward to a day
when the movies will have graduated
out of the back alleys, and when pro-
ducers of reasonable intelligence will
have a chance to hold their own
against the food of mediocrity and
bad tastes

SUMPTUOUS DINNER
TO BE SERVED
For Shrinrs at Ceremonial December
/; Shriners Ball to Be Brilliant
Affair
Greenville News.

Greenville News.
Among the many pleasing events
scheduled for the entertainment of
visiting Shriners on Thursday, Dec
ember /, when Hejaz Temple holds its
Fall Ceremonial in Greenville, it is
doubtful if any will prove more agree
able to all concerned than will the
sunlptuous ,Shriner's dinner to be
served at midday and the brilliant
Shriner's ball at night. There are
certain parts, or features Of Cere-
monial to which a Shriner may not
take his wife or sweetheart, but the
above two functions are exceptions
and, since they may be shared with
the ladies, the committee in charge
of both the dinner and the dance are
determined to see that these two fea-
lures eclipse anything thus far un-
dertaken by the local temple.
Last May, at the Spring ceremonial
there were, at one time, two thous-
and persons seated at the long dinner
tables which covered the entire lower
floor of the spacious Textile hall. Even
with that great number present there
was not the slightest confusion; the
plates had been helped before the
doors were opened, lump sugar had
been placed by each cup-everything
was in readiness for the diners. After
the doors were opened the vast throng
of Shriners and their ladies passed
through six gates that were guarded
by the patrol and in a very few mo-
ments all were seated. Then the ma
nv Shriner walters assigned to each
table began pouring the water and
coffee-all that had remained to be
done after the arrival of guests.
1t would be hard to improve that
