GERMANS SHOW
SIGNS HEDGING IN
INDEMNITY. STAND

Berlin, Mar. 10. (By The Associated
Press)-Foreign Minister Simons dis
cussed the events of the London re-
parations conference with the foreign
relations committee Of the Reichstag
until late in the evening, when the
session was adjourned to Friday.
Although the deliberations were
supposed to be confined to cabinet
and committee members only, it was
observed that Hugo SHINES, who
was one of the governments pre-con-
ference advisers, also was present
After the meeting ended, it was
learned that DR.. Simons admitted
having exceeded the limit which the
German experts thought safe in pre-
senting the counter proposals to the
Entente and also that he was more
optimistic than his colleagues re-
garding Germany's ability to float an
international loan. DR.. Karl Helf-
ferich, former secretary of the trc..s-
ury. who is a nationalist, and DR..
Gustav Strezmann, of the Peoples
party, were among the foreign min
ister'S critics. The bourgeoise par
ties generally were not inclined to
disavow him, because some public
opinion favors the attitude Of DR..
Simons and because they believe any
parliamentary opposition to .him
would be bound to create an unfavor-
able impression abroad.
The Reichstag on Saturday will
discuss the situation resulting from
the failure of the London negotia-
lions,

labor SECRETARY
MOVES TO HEAD OFF
PACKERS STRIKE
JAPS STANDING PAT
ON zap MANDATE
next MOVE up TO US.

Washington, Mar. II. (By The AS
ISOLATED Press.)-Diplomati ex-
changes between the American and
Japanese governments concerning the
status of the Pacific cable center of
zap have left the situation unchang-
ed and it remains for the Harding
administration to dictate the next
step.
Japan's reply to the protest against
Japanese control Of the island sent by
the Wilso administration through the
American embassy at Toxic is under
stood to have contained a reiteration
of the, Japanese claim to exclusive
jurisdiction b. reason of the mandate
awarded by the supreme council.
AS to Japanese control of the for
mer German cables entering in the is
land. against which the American
government particularly protested,
Japan is said to adhere to the prin-
ciple of free use of the cables by all
persons, but with operation and con-
troll remaining under the power that
is in possession of the ends of the
cables.
Japan holds that this arrangement
exists in the case of the cable that
runs from the American-ownedi island
of Guam, in the Pacific. to Yokohama,
Japan. The American company
which laid the cable. it claims, ad-
mitted the right of Japan to control
the end which was landed in Japan
with American controlling the end in
Guam.
The Japanese view also is under
stood to be that since direct cable
communication between the United
States and Asia by way of Guam and
! Manila already exists the line from
the Guam to Asia via zap is only an
indirect overflow connection unnec-
essary in ordinary times and there
fore settlement of the question of
control is not urgent.
Meanwhile it is suggested that
since the League of Nations council
has referred the American protest
addressed to 1t to the allied nations,
a reply may come from that quarter
which may contain the germ of a bas-
is for adjustment.
One incidental result of this sus-
pension may be the preparement of a
settlement by direct negotiation of
the issue between Japan and The
Netherlands arising from the claim
of the Dutch government to control
! of one of the former German cables
extending from zap to the Dutch
| East Indies.

VIRGINIA Rape COMEDY
AT PALACE THURSDAY

In presenting Virginia Rape, the
victim of the Arbuckle case. at the
Palace theater on Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week, in a two
reel comedy, The Twilight Baby"
the management wants it clearly I'M
derstood that they are not offering it
to uphold any of the parties con-
cerned in the Arbuckle case, but to
show to the public who she is in the
movies. She has appeared in a num-
Der of pictures with stars and has not
had her name lin the advertising with
the exception of the brand new Henry
Lehman comedies. The Twilight
Baby" is a brand new comedy of the
two part type. 1t is a First National
picture and shown in the theaters of
First National franchise holders. The
Palace management has received quite
a few inquiries as to who this Vir-
ginia Rape is, and if her pictures
have ever been shown in this city,
and if it was possible for us to show
one of her pictures. So in keeping
up with our policy to give Palace pa
irons what they want, one of her COM
edies has been selected for a show
ing.
The Palace has the exclusive show
ing of First National pictures, and be-
cause of this. is the only theater in
this city that can present this picture.
All theaters have been trying to get
the Virginia Rape comedies and on
finding that it is possible to First Ma
tiona1 franchise holders only, have
been very quick and unjust to con-
denim them.

New York, Sept 22.-The enveIop-

An ultra-evening, light colored effect

A warm, luxurious wrap from E.

Its chief note of novelty lies in huge

Another evening wrap, shown on
