MACDONALD SEEKS
HARMONY WITH us.
Would Remove All Issues
Likely to Cause Friction
Between Nations.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, February Prime Min
lister Macdonald. in his desire to re-
move every obstacle calculated even
remotely to impair the good relations
between this country and the United
States. will at an early date attempt
troversy concerning the reopenine of
the American consulate at Newcastle,
it was learned from an authoritative
source this afternoon.
The prime minister also will sup
port the confirmation in the house
of commons of the AngIo-American
liquor treaty. and he expects no seri-
Gus opposition to the passage of this
measure.
Mr.. Macdonald is understood to feel
regretful that it had ever become
necessary to safeguard Americas
right to enforce her own prohibition
laws by the negotiation of this spe-
cial treaty. He would have preferred,
1t Is indicated, to see all foreign ma
tions. individuals u and ship owners
honorably respect the American de-
sire to keep out Illicit liquor In the
attempt to enforce the principle of
prohibition.
On the question of disarmament Mr.,
Macdonald is known to share heartily
the views of the American govern
~ment and would welcome a gesture
rom Washington for the convocation
of another conference having as its
object a further diminutiop of the
naval and military equipment of the
nations Of the earth.
The British prime minister is firm
ly convinced that an appeal to the
sense of justice, the reason and the
higher instincts Of the nations would
do more to restore the peace of the
world than the maintenance of giant
navies and armies.
In this connection, 1t is understood.
Mr.. Macdonald favors the shelving of
the project to establish the. far east
ern British naval base at Singapore
until the application of these prin-
ciples has been tried.
1t was indicated. however. that the
cabinet maintains an open mind on
the Singapore question, and will not
announce its decision until it has con-
sidered all phases of it. Common
honesty, neighboringness and frank
ness between cations as between ~
dividuals," the premier believes, will
yet be applied to the settlement of
all international disputes, and will
put to shame the forces Of might,
such as, huge standing armies, fleets.

Wiedfeldt Recall

By Flag Incident

BY Radio to The Star and the Chicago Dali
News. Copyright. 1924.
BERLIN, February 7.-(11:3Q
.m.)-The awkward German slip
in omitting to half-staff the en-
bassy flag at Washington out of
respect to the late former Pres
ident Wilson. may we'll hasten the
return to private life of Ambassa-
dor Wiedfeldt, as one Of the di-
rectors of'the Krupp works.
1t would seem that the German
foreign office was not aware of
the Importance which the United
States would attach to mourning
for it's former President. Hence
1T may make amends by transfer
ring it's unfortunate ambassador.
The complaint that Wiedfeldt
had shown incapacity by his act.
is clear pretext. since obviously
the ambassador was picked from
business life without diplomatic
training and could not be expect
ed to be infallible in matters of
diplomatic etiquette.
Many here believe that such a
change would be welcomed by
Wiedfeldt himself.

|LYCEUM PRESENTING i GREAT PHOTOPLAYS
"Let Not Man Put ASunder' Opens Tomorrow Evening

Tomorrow night starts a four days showing of Lou Tellegen and Pauline Frederick in Let Not Man Put Asun- der" at the Lyceum where the conn panion feature will be Fred Thomp- son in "The Silent Stranger" a pie ture filled with thrills, action and TO- nance. The last half of next week brings double features again with | Warner Baxter and Grace Darmond in "Alimony," and William s. Hart in 'The Cold Deck" Incidentally this is one of Bill Hart's latest and best west erners and presents him in the role Of the hard boiled gunmsn of the plains. The latest episode Of The Telephone Girl" also will be shown the first three days of the week.
 Both Lou Tellegen and Pauline Frederick are at their best in Let Not Man Put Asunder" and the emotional scenes in this picture arc said to sur pass any seen in long time. Basil King wrote this story and the picture is true to the text, which is the inner tale of six lives or three couples who seek to end their troubles in the di- Norce court. The separation they re- ceiye by law does not break inc bond which was made in heaven and their happiness is not found in separate paths. In the background are magni- licent sets, operas. hotels, famous re- sorts. spectacular entertainment and gorgeous gowns which alone would make the picture worth seeing. \
 "Alimony," is a woman's story all the way through and Grace Darmond as the magnificent wife who believes that the same bigness that brought her husband success will guide him safely through the shoals of prosper fly. is a distinct and charming person. ality. Warner Baxter as her erring husband, who at first enjoyed being vamped by a futtering flapper, also is at his best.
 Those who enjoy seeing real west ern pictures with a real western hero will not miss the other feature star ring Bill Hart "The Cold Deck" is just the kind of picture the name suggests.

Si.ILS-FLOTO CIRCUS

Riding acts may come and riding acts may go, but it is not likely that anything so unusual as the equestrian offering of Albert Hodgini, Belgian comic of the sawdust ring. will be seen in America for years to come. Hodgini and his family have been imported by the Scls-F'loto circus, coming to New Britain, Tuesday, May 20, and they have bags of tricks that are entirely new to big top fans in this country.
 There are three girls in the troupe Irene, Laura and Aline Hodgini, and they seem fairly to bound from tho ground to the backs of their rac- ing stecds and from horse to horse. while somersaulting atop their mounts is to them merely warming up exer- else. They've been at it since they were babies in arms. almost and that's the reason, of course. The girls are wild about America, and, in each city played by the circus. they insist on making" parade that they may sec more of the town. Between shows. one is likely to sec them riding street cars to the ends of the lines, for their interest in everything Amer icRn seems limitless, They know more about the T., s. cities they have been in than most of the circus people who have been trouping through them for years.

JACKIE COOGAN IN A NEW PHOTOPLAY
PrecociOus Star Appears at Palace in "A Boy of Flanders"

Jackie Coogan as a little Belgian boy with baggy trousers, funny little cap, great, clumsy, clattering wooden shoes and patched jacket with large buttons of assorted shapes and sizes Jackie Coogan as little Nello, the inn mortal hero of Ouida's story, comes to the Palace for days, beginning Sunday.
 Another triumph was scored by this nysteriously gifted child in a story as different from Long Live the King" as the latter is different from "Oliver Twist"
 Jackie's medium in this, his second Metro picture, is "A Boy of Flanders" adapted from Ouida's story. "A Dog of Flanders" and the adaptation has been made with the greatest skill. The story is reproduced on the screen with a fidelity rarely to be observed and not single episode of signiii- canoe, drama, comedy, pathos or thrill is missing. While the climax, in the snow-storm that sweeps over Elan ders fields and buries the Cathedral , dral steps at Antwerp in a deep cover, | is one of the most poignant and ap- pealing that has e.1er been screened.
 Never has Jackie appeared more effectively, and it is safe to say that in "A Boy of Flanders" he touches tragic heights never before revealed in any Jackie Coogan picture, while the comedy torches and humor of which his art is capable, are abund- antly provided throughout the entire story. His audience last night moved through strata of smiles and tears, Laughter and thrills. merriment and suspense.
