START INVASION OF TEXAS
But japanese Find They Are Run
ming Into q Hornets Nest.

Brownsville, -TeA., Jan. 1.-THE
Japanese Invasion" Of Texas appear.
to be in iull swing. ),
Following the warning to two Jap.
anese families, who arrived at Harlin.
gen yesterday, not to attempt to set
tie Oh tracts they had purchased, B.
X. Kato, another Japanese colonist
from California, reached Brownsville
today. -
AT the same time it was reported
from San Benito that Japanese set
tiers are fiitcring into the country IN
that vicinity and "squatting' OH farms
whose owners are absent. The Amer
lean Legion post at San Benito has
telegraphcd to the owners asking au-
thority to GUST the "squatters" and
trouble is feared if the permission is
given.
With these developments the stu
alton i'll the Rio .Grande Valley is ex-
itremely tense. The native farmers
are demanding the enactment OF al,
anti-alien land law, similar to Cali
fornia's, by the legislature. The ar
rival of the Japanese is expected 70
give impetus to the movement in
favor OF the legislation.
Fear that Japanese, because of their
ability to operate farms and truck
gardens at lower labor costs, will
gradually drive out competition IS
openly expressed and it is arousing a
feeling of bitterness among the ma
tives, both in towns and country dis
tricts.
The Rio Grande district is apt to
prove hornets nest for the Japan
csc, because the natives Of this region
which retains many aspects of the old
frontier, are more inclined to take
direct action than the people. of
California, where the dispute over the
Japanese land holdings has been
largely confined to the legislature
and the courts.
Possibilities of international COM
plications are seen, which may have
an important bearing on the negotia-
tons now in progress between the
Japanese and United States govern
ments over the question of exclusion
of orientals and the right of those
now i'll the country to own land.

Of extraordinary interest. not Cnty to lovers of the motion picture. but likewise to al who appreciate the highest in art in its various IffaniieSIa- tions. is the announcement of the Lyric theatre that it has secured Ddvld WarA GriItiths superb screen creation, Broken Blossoms" to be shown today oniy.
 Never has a motion picture teen accorded a reception comparable to the triumph that has followed every showing of this oducdo1. Newspa- pers have devoted volumn after col umn to it's beauties and wonders. Everywh ere it's. success has been h., stantaneous and it is safe to say that in bringing Broken Blossoms to thls city. the management of the Lyric theatre has, to its credit the b.gsest accomplishment in artistic entertain menI that we have vet enjoy ed.
 Mir GriiI.tn. it will be IememOered, together with Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas fairbanks, early in 1919 organized United Art ists porationA-popularly known as "The Big Eour" the making and marketinSSof their own productions. It is through this organization that Broken Blossoms" is being placed in the theatres of the country.
 The sior: Of Broken Blossoms" Mir. Griffith adapted from a tale by eThomas Burke called The Chink and the Child" which k part of that au thor's famous volume, "Limehouse Nights. Around this story. and we speak from. the opinions of dramatic critics the country over. MT. Griffith has built the most alluring, yet pitt ful, beautiful, yet tragic love story ever filmed IL has become habit, al most to look upon Griffith produc- tion as something, ,more than motion pieture. yet even the most aIdent ad ,nirers of inc art of this master of the films did get dream of the wonders that he would reveal in Broken Bios soms.'
 And of acting. let word be added. Lillian Gish as The Girl' has reach ed height of dramatic interpretation the like of which has never been seen on the screen before. This little artist has labored faithfully. steadily, with an understanding marvellous in one so young, and now she comes into her full Slory in Broken Blossoms.
 The Chink" is played by Richard Barthelmess and to his work the critics have paid high tributes like wise. To the telling oI the love story of Broken Blossoms" il is said that both Miss Gish and MT. Barthlemess have brought a never to be forgotten artistry. Donald Crisp plays the part of Battling Burrows" the brute cn whom fatherhood has been forced, and his portrayal of difficult role with rare talent and strength. com pletes the triangle of chief characters in the story.
 Broken Blossoms" should prove theS crowning achievement in the splendid gallery of film presentations that we have enjoyed at the Lyric.
