Haynes and Bureau Split
Over Beer Prescriptions
Former Insists on Limit of 100
Every Three Months, in
Spite of Ruling

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Another
difference on the question of medicinal
beer developed to-day between the In
ternal Revenue Bureau and the prohi-
bition unit.
The Treasury's new regulations COW
ering the use Of beer for medical pur-
poses place no limit upon the number
Of prescriptions for this remedy q
physician may write. However, accord
ing to Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes. the prescription rules which
have been in force for some time and
limit doctor to 100 alcoholic prescrip-
tions every three months are still in
effect, and despite the beer regulations
that maximum will be maintained.
On the other hand, Internal Revenue
officials declared tonight that the opin-
ion of former Attorney General Pal
mer legalizing the use OF beer as q
medicine had overruled the prescrip-
tion regulations, ms it held that the
Treasury might limit the quantity or
the frequency of alcoholic medicines,
but not both. The question from the
standpoint Of the regulations will be
definitely settled soon, it was said.

Bandit Pops Seven Clerks
Into Sacks, Robs Mail
Masked Robber Forces Victims
to Tie One Another During
Raid on Kansas Train

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Nov 5.-A
masked robber trussed up seven mail
clerks on Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe train No. 8, arriving here from Cali
fornia to-day, and escaped with two
sacks Of registered mail.
According to the mail clerks, the
masked man entered the car shortly
after it left Ottawa Junction, Kan,
fifty-seven Fl miles from Kansas City.
The bandit covered the seven mail
clerks with pistol and then ordered
one of the clerks to tie the other six
up with wire. When the six were
bound, the bandit tied up the seventh
man, placed empty mail sacks over the
heads of all seven clerks and tied the
SACKS securely.
The robbery was not discovered until
the train reached Kansas City, when
the seven mail clerks, still tied up and
"hooded" with mail sacks were dis
covered by postal employees.
Two sacks of registered mail known
to be in the car were missing. Post
Office officials refused to estimate the
probable value of the contents of the
sacks

MOSCOW, Nov. 5.-The Rus
sian Soviet Council of Commits
sars has appointed special COM
mission, headed by Maxim Litvin-
off, chief of the Soviet legations
abroad, to consider the questions
relating to Russia's foreign debt.
(This action presumably is in
pursuance Of the recent offer OF
the Soviet government to recog-
nize the debts of the imperial
regime contracted up to 1914, on
the condition that the creditor
nations make peace with the
Soviet government.)

The Coming Conference
Permanent Peace on the Pacific

By David Jayne Hill

(CopVV0ht United States
1t inconesab sovereign only

Jec1 10 the law of

OF other nations regarding activity
New-York tribune., 1921-11-06

1t is principle we'll understood by
every serious student of diplomacy
that alliances are never formed with
out national purpose; for the es-
sential meaning of an alliance is that
it involves the union of forces for
common ends, and therefore implies
that something is given as we'll as re-
ceived.
Although It was usual in a previous
age for alliances to be declared to be
perpetual" it is now understood that,
in fact, they never are of permanent
nature. They are often definitely
limited in time and are seldom of long
duration. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. International relations are con-
stantly changing. The equilibrium of
states is always unstable and requires
continual readjustment.
Regarded in the light Of its history
the Anglo-Japanese alliance, having
served its original purpose, and the
enemies against which it was directed
being no longer in the field, as a COM
pact for peace has no longer any good
reason for existing. On the contrary,
the military character that is ascribed
to it in its subsequent revisions renders
it menace wholly out of harmony
with the present international situa-
ton.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-06
Anglo-Japanese Treaty
Was Inspired by Toxic

Anglo-Japanese Treaty
Was Inspired by Toxic
In 1901 Count Hayashi, then Minister
of Japan in London-not the present
Ambassador Baron Hayashi-haying
learned that Lord Salisbury was fear
full lest Japan might form an alliance
with Russia, then deemed Great Brit
aims most dangerous enemy, informed
his government to this effect, adding
that if the Japanese Foreign Office
would hint that Japan might combine
with Russia in the Far East if there
was no prospect Of an Anglo-Japanese
alliance, he believed the British gov
ernment would make such an agree
nlent.
This hint was acted on, and Count
Hayashi thus created the opportunity
to explain to Lord Lansdowne that
Japan would prefer an alliance with
Great Britain, in order to prevent
Russia from extending her influence
over Manchuria, provided Japan, by
uniting with Great Britain, could be
assured that in case of war third
party, France, could be prevented from
coming to Russia's aid Lord Lans-
downe received these representations
with much interest, and on January
80, 1902, the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of
Alliance was signed at London by
Lord Lansdowne and Count Hayashi.
The original compact set forth that
the two governments, "actuated solely
by desire to maintain the status quo
and general peace in the extreme
East" mutually recognize "the inde-
pendence of China and Corea" and de-
clare themselves to be "entirely un-
influenced by any aggressive tendencies
In either country. Having in view,
however, their special interests, of
which those of Great Britain relate
principally to China, while japan. in
addition to the interests which she
possesses in China, is interested in
peculiar degree politically, as we'll
as commercially and industrially. in
Corea, the high contracting parties
recognize that it will be admissible
fer either of them to take such meas
ufes as may be indispensable in order
to safeguard those interests if threat
ened by the aggressive action of any
other power, Or by disturbances aris-
ing in China or Corea, and necessitat-
ing the intervention of either of the
high contracting parties for the pro-
lection of the lives and property of
its subjects"
After thus giving to each other
free hand to intervene in China, the
second article agrees to neutrality if
either should become involved with q
third power, and each would "use its
efforts to prevent other powers from
joining in hostilities against its ally;
unless, Article III, "any other power
or powers should join in hostilitfes
against that ally" in which case "the
other will come to it's assistance and
will conduct the war in common" I'm
der the fourth article it is further
agreed that neither will enter into
separate arrangements with another
power to the prejudice Of the interests
described" and by a fifth it is ar
ranged that when the above-mentioned
interests are in jeopardy the two gov
ernments will communicate with each
other fully and frankly.

Strand Theater Celebrates
Its Seventh Anniversary;
First House of Its Type

In celebration of its seventh araiver-
sary this week the Mark Strand Thea
ter will offer as the screen feature
Miriam Cooper in "The Oath" pic
turization Of IDOL" the William j.
Locke novel which went through sew
era1 editions.
A specially arranged anniversary
overture will be played by the Strand
Symphony Orchestra, and the Strand
Male Quartet, lately returned from q
road tour, also will assist in the cele-
bration.
The Mark Strand Theater was the
first of the picture houses to present
as a part of it's offering of photo
dramas an elaborate musical program
played by a symphony orchestra. Since
then every picture house of conse-
quence in the country has followed its
example, and nearly every big city HAS
it's "Strand" theater.
Because Of the many theaters in the
country bearing tho name "Strand" the
originators of the type of entertain
ment evolved in the original theater
have affixed the prefix "Mark" to Strand
to distinguish it from others infringing
on the title.

instantaneous Settings by
New Light and Color Method

To make a complete change Of seem
cry just turn an electric switch. This
is the newest method in stage investi-
ture, which Hugo Riesenfeld will pre-
sent soon at his theaters-the Rivoli,
Rialto and Criterion. The change is
made instantaneously by a mere change
Of the color of lighting which floods
the stage. The change from Moorish
interior into an old English garden can
be done in wink by means of the
newest art, evolved by Nicholas de Lip
sky, the young Russian artist who has
been commissioned by DR.. Riesenfeld
to paint series of settings for his
theaters Work has already been be-
gun on settings for the Rivoli and the
Criterion.
De Lipsky's method--while is it new
in the theater-is based upon one of
the oldest principles-that color is af-
fecte1 by different lights; that, in fact,
light thrown upon color may either
make it invisible or bring it out more
completely. But, while the principle
was known, it was the mission Of the
young Russian to apply it in such
way as to make it an aid in the art of
the theater. So faithfully has he held
to his task that he has found it practi-
cable to paint three superimposcd
scenes upon one canvas. In ordinary
light the canvas may have little mean
ing-it is a weird and unintelligible
mingling Of lines and curves. When a
strong light Of defined color is thrown
upon the canvas landscape comes to
view; the switch is turned and another
second scene, and third color reveals
the third.
In his studio on upper Broadway he
has a model, hardly more than a foot
square. With ordinary light the set
ting means little, yet when deep blue
is thrown upon it a dreamy summer
evening is revealed on the little back
drop. Saplings are outlined against
the hills. There is click--the light is
changed to an orange, and snow-cov-
cred landscape, with majestic, barren
trees is shown. Again the light is
switched back to blue-back and for
ward until the eye grows accustomed to
the sudden changes. Yet after careful
examination it is impossible to trace
the one ever the other. Each setting is
distinct in itself and in no way a part
of the other. By superimposing and by
calling upon the desired settling by
means of colored light the artist creates
his arrangement of painted colors.
Not only is De Lipsky master Of
the combinations OF color and light
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-04-10

the scientific side-but he is also an
artist and creates individual canvases
which reflect the best traditions of the
modern stage art. Were he merely
one or the other, the success of merg-
ing color and light might be
of unquestionable value-but he has
brought the scientific to serve artistic
ends.
For the Criterion he is painting
cyclorama of two settings-an exterior
and an interior. The first is richly
colored garden, with Vista of distant
hills-a dewy, scent-laden spot; the
second is an interior with columns and
draperies-warm and harmonious in
color and design. The two scenes are
painted upon one great canvas and,
when erected at the Criterion, will give
the stage department two distinctly
different settings to be at it's COM
mand by the mere turn Of an elecric
switch.
The Rivoli is to have fantastic set
ting which not only takes advantage of
De Lipsky's combinati IN Of light and
color, but also makes use of transpar-
emit hangings, thus bringing the light
behind the settings to play in harmony
with the lights and colors on the face
By the use Of transparent and opaque
colors it is possible, says the artist,
to blend silhouettes into live color and
lights, thus presenting more than the
two dimensions found in all painted
, scenery. Z.
The principle of painting with colors
for certain lights can also be employed
in costuming and facial makeup, says
De Lipsky. He has painted young
to his principle, and in one light pre-
scented her as charming nymph, then
by changing the lighting has trans
formed her instantly into an old witch
in rags. In the daily life of the COM
munity, too, there are great POSSIBLE
ties for his idea, he says. In draperies,
wallpapers and upholstery it would be
found of great value, inasmuch as a
room may be entirely changed in it's
color scheme by merely changing the
lighting.
DR.. Riesenfeld believes the innova-
ton means great improvement in the
modern theater and especially in mo-
ton picture presentation.
Nowhere do patrons demand so much
change as in a motion picture" said
Mr.. Riesenfeld, "yet we have no oppor-
tunity to change our settings in the
way that the speaking stage can. We
have no intermissions and cannot ex-
pect our patrons to sit idly by while
stage hands make change back stage.
With Us it must be swift"
