COOLIDGE UPHOLDS
BRITISH ACTIVITY
Sees No Reason for Offense in
Nicaraguan Situation

Washington, Feb. Is P,-Mindful
that British and Italian subjects, as
well as Americans. have suffered pro-
perty losses In the Nicaraguan dis
turbance, President Coolidge believes
there is no room for protest against
the British action in sending a war
ship to Corinto as a possible refuge
for English nationals in that coun-
try.
The presidents position, made
known at the white house yesterday,
is that under the present circum-
stances the British step can be con-
sidered as no more than an ordinary
precaution that might be taken by
any country, although it is unusual
for a European nation to adopt such
measures in connection with Latin

American affairs.


There is quite difference, 1t was
pointed out, between sending a war
ship for moral effect or for possible
evacuation of foreign subjects and
the more decisive action of landing
naval forces to enforce debt or SIM
liar settlements, which the Washing
ton government has consistently op-
posed in southern countries. The
British government has advised the
United States that no such landing
operations were contemplated In
Nicaragua.
President Coolidge regards the re-
cent extension of American landing
operations in Nicaragua as an effort
to insure foreigners generally against
further damage to their property.
No estimate of the foreign prop
erty loss was made at the White
| House. but President Diaz, conser-
vative, who is opposed in a war be-
ing waged to unseat him by Juan B.
| Sacasa, liberal, in a communication
| to the Nicaraguan legation here,
| said claims of foreigners and Mica
raguans for such damages would
reach between 100000 and s4,-
! 900, 900. One of the suggestions
contained In the Diaz proposals for
a new treaty with the United
States Is that loans be made by the
latter to meet this as well as oher
financial needs. The proposed
treaty has not yet reached Wash.

fused to indicated their attitude.

One OF the best pictures Norma

time.
1.-THE Demi- Bride" Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer picture at the Cap

Sunday, in which Norma is again
starred with Lew Cody. proves to
be one of the real comedies OF the
season.
: Miss Shearer and Cody. as a
team, have been seen to advantage
on the screen before, in His Sec
retary' and "A Slave Of Fashion"
but they have never before had a
real opportunity to show their tai
ent for comedy as they have in
this production.
The story. which is from the
pens Of F. Hugh Herbert. we'll
known British novelist, and Flor
ence Ryerson. is an original and
was written especially for Miss
Shearer and Cody. The authors
have seen to it that both artists are
offered ample opportunity to dis
play their talent at whimsical
farce comedy and both Miss Shear
er and Cody have not let chance
slip.
Carmel Myers. as the sophisti-
Gated Madame Girard, stepmother
of the star, takes her defeat at the
hands of her daughter in very

usual vampish characterization
seems to have been utterly aban-

of acting which proves most charm
ing.
There will be two complete
showings on Sunday night with the
second performance beginning at

Filled from start to finish with
tremendously effective scenes and
laughs, Rod La Rocques 1.-THE

role and others in the cast include
Jack Ackroyd, Snitz Edwards and

Insects will penetrate or bore
through things that man could never
hope to pierce or break without blast
ing powder. How can they do 1t, and
what is the secret Of their marvellous
powers?
The answer is that these things are
possible to them because Of their ex-
traordinarily complex system OF
striped muscle working within the in

NOR Of their coats. This not only gives
them tremendous powers Of muscle
