At The Ditmas

Rex Beach's story of the Klondike
gold rush, 1.-The Spoilers" has lost
none of it's glamor, none of its WV
idness and none of it's drama in the
years that have passed since it was
written-and that have passed since
it was first put upon the screen ten
years ago by Colonel Selig. The new
version, produced by Jesse d. Hamp-
ton, with Lambert Hillyer directing,
was shown last night at the Ditmas
theatre and 1t held the big audience
completely in its grasp. The produc-
ton is on a bigger and more spec
tacular scale than was the original
as was to be expected, seeing how
rapid the progress and technique of
making pictures has been, and the
great fight staged between the hero
Zand the villain surpasses tina of a
Fhecade ago.
"The Spoilers is a true picture of
life in the Klondike gold rush and
the attempt of certain unprincipled
adventurers to jump the claims of
the early miners. Its story has a
Peculiar fascination over the minds
of re~d-blooded Americans. The pic
ture is one of the best made In re-
rent years and there is no doubt that
1t will repeat the big success of its
qrst screen incarnation.

COMMUNITY OF NATIONS
This Is Way in Which Premier of Canada Refers to British Empire in Speech At London.

London. Oct. 19.--Premier Macken- zie King of Canada, speaking at a Canadian Club dinner given in his honor last night, referred to the en- pire as a community of nations in which each should have free oppor- tunity to express it's own national life. The greater this freedom, he said, the greater would be the con- fidence and pride of the various states in the empire as whole.
 Referring to the halibut fisheries treaty between the United States and Canada. Premier King argued that the agreement was of concern only to those two countries and that in hav- ing it signed by the Canadian min ister of fisheries there had not been the slightest intention to show any ,discourtesy to the British ambassador at Washington. He then continued:
 We feel that so far as domestic affairs are concerned we have full right to self government. We feel that in regard to matters of trade and tariff we have the right to negotiate with our neighbors or with any coun- try It did not take away from the prestige of the British crown that Canadian minister should have au- thority from the crown to sign with a plenipotentiary power on a matter that related exclusively to his own country"
