The great test of a woman's love

trance of another woman into his
life. Mary Van Horns life was dedi-
Gated to helping sthe unfortunate.
Her husband had been so busy maxi
ing money that he had overlooked
many of the joys of life. Then into
his life came The Butterfly Girl"
Her fresh young beauty. her nom
chalance and her dangerous inno-

the protective instinct hat beats on

THEATRES
AT thu Strand Theatre

In The Sign on the Door
Norma Talmadge, incompatible
emotional actress of the silent drama
Is seen at her best in the most inter-
j, ing and absorbing screen vehicle
yet given to this talented star.
The Sign on the Door" opened to
a capacity house at the Strand thea
ire Thursday night. 1t Is a screen
version of Charming Pollock's high
ly successful stage play of the same
name, and to merely say that it is
a creditable one would be putting
the facts very mildly indeed.
A splendid plot is extremely well
presented on the SCREEN The story
concerns Ann Hunniwell, a pretty
stenographer who. through no fault
of her own, is compromised by her
employers scapegrace son Later,
when she marries a man of high
character and social standing, the
fellow comes into her life again. He
is killed in a struggle with her hus-
band. The husband does not know
that his wife has witnessed the trag-
edy. An extraordinary denouement
follows e act in summoning the
police and accusing herself of the
shooting.
Anna Hedder was accused of
StOahAh5 hihCA a oCPdl L
store by her father, and at the sug-
gestion of the proprietor, John Wal
lace, he consented to her arrest. But
before the arrest could be made
Anna proved. much to the chagrin
of her father. that the clothes were
paid for by several wealthy friends.
This stirring domestic story is en-
bodied in the scree version of the
famous stage play called why Girls
Leave Home" which will be shown
at the Strand theatre during the
week commencing October 10. Anna
Q. Nilsson. the well known motion
picture actress, plays the role of
Anna Hedder and is said to give a
vivid impersonation of a young girl
who is forced to leave home on ac-
count of the bigotry and cruelty of
her parents. Other members of the
asst include Claude King, Maurine
Powers. Kathryn Perry (Mrs. Owen
Moore), Dan Mason, Julia Swayne

.. S. NOT BOUND BY
JAPAN'S MANDATE
CLAIMS INTEREST IN PARTITION
OF FORMER GERMAN
POSSESSIONS.
YAP NOT RELINQUIS HE'D
Declares That United States as Ono
of the Principal Allied Powers
Has An Equal Concern and
An Inseparable Interest.

Washington.-The American govern.
ment has taken an unequivocal stand
with regard to it's right to a voice in
the disposition of the former overseas
possessions of Germany.
Secretary Colby, in his note to the
Council of the League of Nations.
made public, submits that disposition
Of those possessions cannot be under
taken or effectuated" without the as
sent of the United States.
He says that the United States "as
one Of the principal allied and asso-
ciated powers has an equal concern
and an inseparable interest" with the
other powers in the territories taken
from Germany, and "concededly an
equal voice in their disposition"
Declaring the American government
cannot regard itself as bound by the
terms Of the mandate given to Japan
over the Pacific Island of Yap by the
league, the secretary requests that the
Council, having obviously acted under
a misapprehension of the facts" in as
suming that the United States had
approved Japanese mandate over the
island, reopen the question for "the
further consideration which the
proper settlement of it clearly re-
quires."
Officials declared that in acting
now the present administration had
strengthened the position of the in.
coming administration. The opinion
also was expressed that there may be
a conference of the interested powers
to discuss the question. 1t is under.
stood that such course would be ac
ceptable to the United States.
Referring to the zap mandate, Sec.
retary Colby's note said that at the
time of the discussions of the ques.
tion at Paris President Wilson was
particular to stipulate" that it should
be reserved for future consideration
and that subsequently the United
States, in notes to Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan "set forth at
length its contention that Yap had in
fact been expected" from the proposed
mandate to Japan for the Pacific is
lands north of the equator, formerly
held by Germany.
THE information was further con-
veyed," Mr.. Colby states, that the
reservations which had previously
been made by this government re-
garding the island Of zap were based
on the view that the island of Yap
necessarily constitutes an indi.pen-
sable part of any scheme or practic-
able arrangement of cable communica-
tion in the Pacific, and that its free
and unhampered use should not be
limited or controlled by one power"

REDS MAY BATTLE
JAPAN In SIBERIA
CONCENTRATION OF THE SOVIET
TROOPS BELIEVED TO PRESAGE
MILITARY CAMPAIGN.

Harbin, Manchuria.-Military opera
tons by the Russian Bolshevik against
Japanese forces in Siberia are be
lieved to be foreshadowed by concen
trations of soviet troops in the eastern
end of the country. There were $4,000
Bolshevik soldiers in Chita recently
and more are said to be arriving al
intervals. Units are proceeding tC
points further east, assembling prin
cipally in the Primorsky district and
along the Manchurian frontier. While
badly clothed and fed, these soldiers
are we'll armed and under severe dis
cipline.
Eighteen thousand troops have ar
rived at Verkniedinsk from Moscow
At Khabarovsk, on the Amur river
about 10000 Bolshevik troops are con
centrated, and these are gradually be
ing moved south to points on the Imam
and Usseri rivers. The official reason
given by the Bolshevik for dispatch
ing troops to Khabarovsk is that there
are large supplies of grain there, suf
ficient to maintain the troops for a
year. However, reports from there
indicate that the supplies available
are sufficient for about a month.
To increase the regular and guerilla
forces, the Bolshevik authorities are
mobilizing the population of the Rus
sian Far East. This step would have
the double purpose of increasing the
military forces, and of disintegrating
by calling into service of the existing
government, the men of the Kappel
and Semenoff anti-Bolshevik armies,
still more or less intact beyond the
Manchuria eastern frontier. Mobil-
ization is meeting with some opposi-
tion from the people.
Troops are distributed along the
whole line Of railway from Chita east
to the Manchurian frontier. At Man
chull, on the border, Bolshevik organ
iZations have been formed and are
smuggling agents through to Man
churta for propaganda work. Activity
is noticeable in the movement of loco
motives and cars from the Usseri rail-
way connecting Khabarovsk and
Nikolsk) to the Amur railway, which
forms the connecting link with Trans
Baikalia through Russian territory.
Food supplies are being moved by
mail from Vladivostok into the Pri-
morsk province, and attempts have
been made to smuggle arms into these
regions. The Bolshevik fear that the
Japanese may create an opposition
buffer state" in the Primorsk region
by spring, in which event they might
make use of the Kappel and Semenoff
troops.
Appointment of the Japanese Cen
eral Tachibana to command troops in
Siberia Is considered significant.
