j. S. REVEALS PLAN.
TOAD CHINA IN WAR.
State Papers on 1918 Bank
ina Consortium Attempt
Published.

with the publication of scores Of
confidential notes and memoranda, the
state Department today unfolded for
the first time a complete story of at
tempts made in 1918 to create an
International, four-power banking con-
sortium for the purpose of financially
rehabilitating China as an ally in the
war against Germany. In a 1000 page
volume. the department combined for
the first time United States foreign
relations correspondence for 1928.
World War Papers DeIeted.
All papers relating directly to the
World War, however, were deleted from
the bulky volume. Some of the cor
respondence printed had been published
previously.
Initiation of the eventually successful
move to create a banking consortium
between the United States, Great
Britain, France and Japan-a consor-
tiun still alive today, but which is
believed never to have made a loan
was launched on June 20, 1918, by
Robert Lansing, then Secretary OF
State.
The next day President Woodrow
Wilson gave his consent to the plan,
but severely condemned a former six
power consortium, which had included
also Germany and Russia, and from
which the United States had with
drawn.
Wilson Defended China.
In a note believed hitherto unpub-
iished Wilson said st take 1t for
granted that everything necessary would
be done to protect the Chinese govern
ment against such inconscionable ar
rangements as were contemplated by
II
afraid 1t is not less but rather more
likely that the Chinese government
would permit unfair advantage to be
taken of it at the present time OF stress
than formerly"
other correspondence showed that
China then, as now, was in q state OF
revolution, with both Northern and
Southern factions opposing the central
government.
Following this, Lansing made over
lures to a group Of American bankers
and before the lengthy negotiations
were complete 81 American banks had
Joined the group Many of them had
interests in the Far East.
There followed o lengthy diplomatic
correspondence with Great Britain,
France, Japan and China, and at times
apparently insurmountable obstacles
were presented and overcome.
The 1918 records do not show the
completion of the international con-
eortiun.-
"'Wild Cat" Loans Prevented.
Final formation was not completed
until many months later, and well in
formed officials said that although the
agreement was renewed again in 1925
the consortium never made q loan to
China. It was credited, however, with
having prevented the floating Of wild
cat" loans in disrupted China, even
though itself inactive.

suddenly as it had flared up, this city

authorities consenting to the release of
demonstrators who had been arrested
Thus yesterday the city had resumed
its normal aspect; the swarnis Of extra
police have been withdrawn.
King Alfonso, who had insisted on
coming TO San Sebastian Saturday as
scheduled despite the disturbed situa-
ton then, received his greatest salts
faction in greeting his son, the Prince
Of Asturias, who had just returned
from his first trip abroad.
The princes health, delicate here
tofore, has prevented his travelling, but
he has shown much improvement In the

TORONTO, September S.-Undaunted
by the experience of dangling helplessly
from the wing of an airplane 1900
feet in the air when her parachute
fouled, Miss Elsie Storrow made a
second leap and today claimed the
Canadian women's Jump record.
The first time she went up and leaped

Govern, the observer. crawled out on
the wing of the plane and rescued her.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMEs

tiontion gives new intisS 10 every
character. ~
And the beauty about this pet-
Torrance is that nelodrama is done
as melodrama in a way that even
the most impossible scenes ring true.
And only great acting can ac-
complish that.
An so you see that William Gill
lette today is very much as much
of Sherlock Holmes as he was
years ago. We again meet the quiet
voice used by actors Of the school
Of yesterday.
Works With Ease
Gillette can snap into ACTION with
the utmost ease. He knows how to
do that by his voice and by the
slightest motion of his head or
hands.
Study the way Gillette increases
the action and suspense in the third
act when he is trapped in the
Stepney gas chamber. The gang
of murdererS are about ready to
turn on the gas. With a wave of
the hand he motions the gang back
and tells one of the leaders he will
face him on trial in a few days.
Holmes then with little more
highly pitched voice tells the ruff
fans that he is going to walk out
of the room with the heroine. He
does it by the famous cigar trick
and the curtain comes down in
total darkness as Holmes again de-
featS death.
Worth Careful Study
Study Gillette again in the first
act when his very quiet manner and
his calm but commanding voices
is placed against the actions OF the
very nervous Larrabees.
Again study the Gillette method
when he faces Moriarity In his own
apartment as the professor attempts
to draw his revolver to kill Holmes.
Holmes keeps this demon covered
and then suddenly makes it pos
sible for the professor to obtain his
own revolver.
Click, click goes the trigger but
no explosion. The great Sherlock
quite unnoticed had emptied the
revolver.
The villains in this edition of the
play are very bad and they act it
in the exaggerated tempo of the old
days when villains looked and acted
like their class.
Great Thrill of Life
It seems to me that we are miss
ing something these days when we
can not recreate the theater of yes
terday ourselves, and I am thankful
that William Gillette is doing the
job for us.
It seems to me that not to have
seen William Gillette as Sherlock
Holmes at least once in my lifetime
would have been to have missed the
greatest thrill of my life.
Here is an actor and also char
acter in fiction, both of whom have
made history in this country. And
it is not surprising that capacity
audiences are again greeting both
William Gillette and Sherlock
Holmes. 1t seems that you can not
separate the two.
In fact, Gillette admitted that last
night in his curtain talk when he
said that he and Holmes had just
been taking care Of some very seri-
GUS business.
Thanks His Audience
The great actor said that he
wanted to say more than just thank
us for our interest, and so he would
wish us merry Christmas, also a
happy New Year and a sane Fourth
of July.
And as to the company 1t is Just
as it should be. John Miltern again
proves that he is the best of the

Morialtys. There is no doubt 10
that statement after you meet tH
professor IN his underground of1cf
Gee, this is a great scene.
Wallis Clark is Doctor Watson
the pal of Holmes. Just the right
selection. Brinsley Shaw is ex-
cellent as John ForInan and the
same applies to the James Larrabee
of Montague Shaw and the Sidney
Prince of William Postance.
Peg Entwistle is the very white
faced Alice Faulkner who at the end
of the play makes Holmes think Of
love. Splendid.
Equally excellent is Roberta
Neatly as the Scheming Madge
Larrabee. And it is no task for Bur-
ford Hampden as Billy to run away
with his scenes. Many others are
in the cast, all capable.
Please do not close your ex-
periences III the theater of this life
until you have seen William Gillette
as Sherlock Holmes.
The engagement closes tonight at
EnglishS and I hope that every inch
of standing room possible is used.

5 EXPEDITIONS
PROBE SECRETS
OF ANTARCTIC
Three Parties Still Are in
VaStness of South
Polar Circle.

BIZ scriDps- HOirGrd Newspaper Alliance
NEW YORK April 1.-While most
Americans have believed the Byrd
expedition alone has been probing
the secrets of the Antarctic vastness
during the past year, the fact is
that no fewer than five parties, rep
resenting as many different nations,
have been in the polar regions In
that period, and three of them are
still there.
Robert E. Garst, explaining the
significance of Antarctic exploration
in the current issue Of The Review
of Reviews, brings out this scarcely
recognized fact that other nations
than the United States have an ac-
tive interest in Antarctica, the last
uneXplored continent.
Three Parties Unnoticed
Besides the Byrd expedition, that
of Sir George H wilkins, the Eng
lishman, who few over 10000 square
miles of polar whiteness, has re-
ceived some attention in America
But three other expeditions which
are still within the Arctic circle
have passed unnoticed.
Douglas MawSon, veteran of the
Shackleton explorations, heading an
Australian party, is exploring the
coast of Antarctica to the south OF
Australia. A Norwegian party
headed by Riiser-Larson is survey
ing by plane the region lying direct
ly south Of the tip of South America
A fifth party, sent out by Argentina
is now at South Georgia island.
In spite of this activity of the past
year and that of a score of ex-
petitions that have invaded the far
south in the past century, only a
small fraction, possibly one
twentieth, of Antarctica has been
seen by modern man. But, unlike
the wastes of frozen sea that
surround the North Pole, it has been
proven that the region is a great
continent at least half again as
large as the United States.
Romance Added to Mystery
The urge that drives men on into
this vastness of ice covered noun
tains and plains is similar to that
that engages a detectives story
reader, the Review of Reviews
article explains.

tons that create much of our
