Betty Compson at Ditmas

Betty Compson makes her appear
ance in prisoners of Love-" which
will be presented at the Ditmas the
atre beginning today.
The story is taken from n of t1e
works of Catherine Henry, and con-
tains innumerable tense dramatic
situations. The action carries her
through the complete range of hu-
man emotions, and her first produce
ton stamps her as one of the really
great actresses of the screen.
AS Blanche Davis. Miss Compson
portrayS the role of a girl born of
wealthy and cultured parents, and
cursed through inheritance with a
dangerous degree of physical attrac-
tiveness. Discovering her father
buying the silence of an adventures
who has become part of his life,
Blanche leaves home and disdains
even the use of her fathers great
name. She fees to San Francisco,
where she obtains employment in
the law offices of Martin Blair and
James Randolph. The latter seeks
to marry her, but his mother, an in
valid since his birth, selfshly COM
pels her to promise that she will not
take her Son from her until after
her death.
Deaths swift intervention fails to
solve the riddle of prisoners of
Love- and the best work of many
present dramatists seems childish
compared with the magnificent ges-
ture with which the picture ends.

THEATRES

The commendable ~penchant for
actually depicting life as it exists on
the screen is a hobby with Anita
Stewart, whose next appearance be-
fore the movie fans will be in Sow
ing the Wind" the attraction an
nounced for the Strand theatre on
today. In fact, this is SO much a
hobby with this actress, that she
never essays any role until after she
has gone in the part of the world
such a character lives in. and gets
first-hand information as to her
whole makeup. In Sowing the
Wind" she portrays the character of
an innocent daughter of an err1ng
mother, a mother who revels in the
iniquities of a notorious gambling
house. When Miss Stewart decided
to accept this play she forthwith
sought such a mother, devoting sew
eral days to her quest. Finally, In a
squalid quarter of New York's East
Side. she was amazed to discover a
gambling house of luxurious appoint
ments and there she found the boss
to be none other than the mother of
three daughters, two Of whom had
gone hayward while the third had
held aloof from temptation despite
her neglected education.
When Miss Stewart treasured n
hardened old mother thai she meant
no detrimental intrusion - feigning
that she was only sight-seeing-the
creature became quite confidential,
confessing that a spirit of revenge
had brought her to her present low
status socially. Her husband a
been mysteriously murdered in the
very house over which she now pre-
sided, after he had broke the gam
bling game with his winning streak.
The mother felt that by settling right
on the spot of the tragedy she would
sooner or later find the murderer.
Eventually she became sole proprie-
tress of the place as a result of illicit
prosperity and she became fascinated
with the ease with which she
could make money. Meanwhile her
daughters were growing up without
motherly attention and two of them
had become notorious early, while
the third refused to follow suit and
went through business college, en-
tering a brokers' office as a stenog-
rainier.

CHINESE PLANS
,CoNTINUEr FROM PAGE oNED

tCONTlNUEH FROM PAGE ONE) prove endless and probably stir up i'll feeling. Such an examination, they point out, would logically include con ditions under which Great Britain oc- cupied Hong Kong and Wei-Hei-Wei and France, Indo-China, not to men, tion the spheres of influence of those countries in the Yangtse valley and Yunnan province, respectively.
 Lease Almost Perpetual
 Japan does not expect to raise the question of British occupancy of Chi nese territory and apparently does not expect other countries will queS- tion her right to the leased territory of south Manchuria, which came to her in the war with Russia. Her dele gates appear to regard this lease of 99 years as being in practice, perpet- ual. It's renewal within a few years under the 1915 treaty with China, it is understood, will be insisted on by Japan, and any attempt to dispossess her would be regarded by the Japan csc as an attack on her rights.
 It was also intimated that the Ja- panese are opposed to the idea of an international control of China, con- tending it would be ., violation of the sovereignty of that country. China, they point out, has not even yet ac- cepted the financial consortium agree ment under which the powers were jointly to loan money to her. Japan, it was said, could not make loans without guarantees, and was not dis posed to enforce guarantees on Chi iC hnl tn ha closely connected with the thought of the powers ceasing all their national rivalry in China and of acting in con- cert on all matters touching that country. The Chinese, the Japanese say, should be aided in bringing about reform of the customs tariff and a unification of the currency system.
 Approve "Open Door"
 Japanese say they are willing to work for a real open door in China which would include even Tibet and Mongolia, as well as Manchuria, in which Japan considers she has special interests. It appears desirable to the Japanese to. fix some plan which would avoid conflict of, interests, es- pecially with the United States, at the same time insuring the. territor- ial integrity and internal development of China. This may mean. in the opin ion of responsible Japanese, a writ ten understanding, although not an alliance between the. United States, Great. Britain and Japan. concerning the Far East, as a substitute for the o-yapanese alliance. The hope prevails among Japanese statesmen that the United States will not be adverse to such a practical outcome of the conference.

250 TON LIMIT FUR DIVERS, IS
 BR|TAIN'S IDEA
Experts Say It Is Apparent U. s. Cannot Accept Plan
 Under Consideration

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. - (By the Associated Press.) - British naval thought here has suggested 25O tons as the limit of size for submarines, 1t was learned today. That would represent type of craft not existing Tn the first line of the American navy. It would go back to the days of the Grampus, the Pike, the Viper and the Tarantula, carried on navy lists as the A-3. As. B-1 and B-3.
 These boats are the oldest in the navy and are included in the second line group more as a type of self propelling. floating mine for harbor defense
 American second line submersibles run up to the MI, displacing 4SS tons on the surface and GIG submerged, while in the first line group of 94 boats, the smallest is close 70 bUU tons on the surface, while the largest run up to nearly 1000 tons, surface. These figures do not include the fleet submarines of approximately 2O0O tons
 It is apparent at e,r4ce. officers say, the United States hardly can ac- cept any such limitation yet a sub mersible of the 500 ton type. similar to the ships with which the Germans did most of their work in the war. can cross the ocean and is not within the limitations of operations the Brit ish seek to establish.

 Chance on Death by
 Attempted Robbery
Could Have Been Sentenced To Gallows Under Drastic

PHOENIX, Afiz.. Nov. t16. Had Roy Gardner been prosecuted under the laws of the state of Arizona in stead of being turned over to the United States officials, he might have been punished by death for his attempt to rob the mail car on Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway train No. TO at the station here last night.
 An old Arizona territorial law which was carried over into the penal code when Arizona became a state provides:
 Every person who goes upon or boards any railroad train, car Or en- zine with the intention of robbing any passenger or Nother person on such train, car or engine. of any per sonal property thereon in the posses sion or care or under control of any such passenger or other person. is guilty of a felony.

MingO County War
 Is Introduced Into
 Indiana Dispute

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-The fight be- tween miners and operators of Mingo county. West Virginia, was carried to the United States circuit court of ap- peals today when charges and coun- ter-charges were made in the appeal hearing from the injunction suspend ing the check-off recently issued by Judge Anderson in Indianapolis.
 Charges that the United Mine Workers of America had entered an agreement in 1898 with the operators of the central competitive field to de. stroy competition were met with a charge that the West Virginia opera tors were trying to stir up trouble which would give them a greater mar. ket and higher prices.
 The check-off, used to collect union dues and assessments, was declared a legal procedure by w. A. Glasgow counsel for the union, but he asserted his willingness to submit to an injunc t1on enjoining any illegal objects for which the check-off was used. Coun sel for the operators declared the money derived from the check-off ex tended union activities and therefore furthered the alleged conspiracy

ed from imposing a tariff of more than five per cent on imports, and has suffered shortage of government funds. In addition, numerous items of her tax returns are pledged for many years in payment of foreign ob- legations.
 Whether the language of the Chin- csc proposal is broad enough to sweep away the eXtra-territorial rights long possessed by foreign powers on Oh. csc soil is a question which may lead to considerable discussion. In the view of some, these rights fall within the class of Limitations on China's administrative freedom" while by others the words are interpreted as applying only to invocation Of foreign authority such as that exercised by Japan along lines of the railways un- der her control.
 Would Open Territory
 It seems certain that one effect would be eventually to open up to world trade the wide expanse of Chi nese territory. Today there are only few Chinese ports into which the merchant shipping can go, and inland there are many large cities about whose industries the world really KNOWS llLtle.
 The principle under which the Chi nese expect this change to be accom- plished is that reaffirming the "open door, policy and declaring China s readiness to apply it 'in all parts of the Chinese republic" As understood generally, this amounts to more than mere redeclaration of the policy of John Hay and if carried out will re. suit in an economic metamorphosis for China
 Here again, the Chinese policies touch directly on the Interests of the powers, who are seeking means of stimulating foreign trade and enter prise to offset effects of the war. It is recalled as an example Of the fail ure of the present "open door, ar ,Nngement, that few years ago an American corporation tried to open the oil wells of Fukien province but found the effort blocked by the insist ence of Japan that Fukien lay too close to her island of FoImo to per init American exploitation
 Reaffirmation of an extended "open door" policy also is looked on as an important possibility in view of the situation resulting from the .21 de mands. Under these demands, accept ed by China under protest, Japan is given special economic privileges which Chinese officials have charged are in violation of both the spirit and the letter of the ''open door,
