STRAND

Marlene Dietrich in "The Song of Songs" heads the Strands double feature program to-day and to- morrow.
 Miss Dietrich. who hitherto has appeared as sophisticated, world ly woman, is revealed in her new production as an innocent young country girl of rare beauty, who goes to Berlin, and tilted by a handsome young sculptor. runs the gamut of tragic experience.
 She marries a rich and elderly Baron, whom she does not love, and following their divorce, she becomes bitter and disillusioned, and notorious woman in the gay German city's night life.
 Brian Aherne, referred to by drama critics as the most romantic actor of the New York stage, fol- lowing his work as Katherine Cor nelrs leading man in The Bar retts of Wimpole Street., makes his screen debut as Miss Dietrich s leading man. Lionel Atwill. who has been a stage star for sixteen years, appears as her husband. Alison Skipworth, Hardie Albright and Helen Freeman also have good roles.
 The companion feature presents George O'Brien in life In The Raw. Wednesday brings Gary Cooper in "One Sunday Afternoon" and "Nagana" with another Auc- tion Bazaar on Wednesday night. Friday and Saturdays program will include "Bureau of Missing Per sons" and "Ladies Must Love-"

Might Flight" which is playing the Palace to record breaking audi oneos, again will Do shown to-day and tomorrow, Tho added featur- ctto attraction, "rhroo Little Pigs" niso is shown at all performances. This cartoon Is without doubt tho greatest ever filmed and Is brought back to tho Paiaco by popular re- quest.
 In Night Flight" the story con- corns n group of men connected with a South American air line, and the truo to fact narrative of ,he work of tho night mall car- riers who risk their lives in storms and over hazardous mountain routes in order that someone may receive q letter in tho shortest pos- sible time. Tho scenes work up to n compelling excitement as tho re- suit of tho mannef in which they arc cut back and foth from Clark Gable in his storm. battling plano Co John Barrymore, tense in his oiilco, to Helen Hayes, frantic over unfaVorabie wireless reports. There is great suspense to scenes showing tho gasoline gauge of Gables plane dropping lower and lower until it finally registers "empty" with no ground In sight through the thick storm clouds.
 A picture so cxportiy acted as Night Flight" is rarely to be found. Both John and Lionel Barrymore, the one as tho mail company's stern manager. and tho other as the easy going inspector, are as usual in faultless form. Miss Hayes has never been seen to greater advantage as the pathetic wife. Gable and Montgomery are excellent as the flyers, and Myrna Loy contributes m effective char acterization as the other wife left behind.
 The feature Is shown at goo, 4:30, 7:00, and 9:30.

tatiye to Kaunas to invite the Lith- uanian army to occupy the city be- fore the Red troops could take pos- session. The Lithuanian general staff, accepted this invitation, but none the less, when the Lithuan- ian units began to move in the di- rection of Vilnius, they were at- tackled by the Poles near Vievis. and held up for a whole day, Q cir- cumstance that enabled the bol. sheviks to occupy Vilnius e few hours earlier. The Lithuanian government, passing It's claims on the Russo Lithuanian peace treaty of July 12, 1920, demanded the immediate withdrawal of the Rus sian troops from the territory as- signed to Lithuania. The Russians end of August, and left the Lith- uanians in sole possession. The Lithuanian government had declar- Polish conflict and proposed to the Poles that temporary demarca- tion-line should bo drawn through Grayevo, Augusttovo, and Stabin in the Suvalkl government, where the Lithuanian frontier had not been fixed by the peace treaty with Russia. The Poles, on their part, not content with Lithuanian neu- trality, and regardless of the Russo Lithuanian peace treaty, proposed joint military action against Russia, to which naturally Lithuania could not agree. Then on September 6, the Polish minig- try for foreign affairs addressed an appeal to the league of nations in which 1t accused Lithuania of breaches of neutrality and of CO., operation with the bolsheviks against Poland. Direct negotiations between Lithuania and Poland at KalvariJa led to no result. The Lithuanian government, having nc. cepted the mediation of tho league of nations, attended session of the council in Paris, where its dole. gates answered the unfounded Polish charges. On Sept 20 the council of the league established q the so-called Curzon llne as n tenn porary demnrcation.lIne between tho Lithuanian and Polish armies, and urged the Poles to respect the nuetrnlity Of the territory under Lithuanian control. Again. how over. Poland was casualistienlly able to reconcile acceptance of this arrangement with resumption Of hostilitIes and q further advance well beyond tho Curzon line. At length the Poles proposed moro di- rect negotiations, this time at Suvalki. where tho delegates met on September go, 1920.
 "On october [. 1920. in the presence of the military control commission of tho league of na- tons, an agreement between the two countries was signed, whereby

Pittsburgh, Oct 9.-(UP)- Thousands of miners returned to the pits to-day while other thous- ands continued the strike which they hope will force 100 per cent unionization of the Pennsylvania soft coal fields.
 Steel company executives pre- pared to obey the command of President Roosevelt and receive representatives of miners who work their captive mines. These representatives undoubtedly will be officials of the United Mine Work CTS, but the steel men will not receive them as such as 1t would involve tacit of the union recogni- ton.
 The recovery act gives labor the right to collective bargaining by representatives of their own choos- ing.
 The directors of the American Iron and Steel Institute meet in New York tomorrow to receive President Roosevelt's message. The crux of the coal situation hinges on their action with laborite lead CTS. If they agree to the check off system, the strike will be defin- itely ended. If they don't. the captive mine workers are likely to continue the strike indefinitely. The steel men hesitate at the check-off system, under which union dues are deducted from min. ers wages by the company and turned over to the union. They believed acceptance would amount to union recognition and encour- age unionlzation of the steel in' dustry itself.
 Twenty thousand strikers re: sumed work in the Cambria ana Somerset county fields last week. others voted to return to-day in West Moreland and Indiana coun- ties, some mines in Allegheny county planned to resume opera tons.

 Today marks q very definite date for the Lithuanians all over tho entire world. That date was q very sad ono for them. The req. son for this sadness was tho un- just and daylight seizure of the cap. ital of Lithuania, Vilnius, with ad- jacent lands amounting to just one third of tho entire area of Lith- uania. Tho circumstances of that seizure and unjust occupation were tho most narrowing. To supply an unprejudlced source we shall quote verbatim from an English author, E. J. Harrison. Mir Harrison in his book: "Lithuania 1928" relates the following.
 After seizing VilnIus in April 1919 tho Poles remained in pos- session until tho summer of 1920. when under pressure from the Soviet forces, with whom the Poles were at war. they were obliged hurriedly to evacuate it. But be. foro this happened, tho Polish high command actually sent c represen-

Through mistake in a Traffic Court
information paper yesterday. Thomas
P. Herbert, colored, 40, was charged

knocked down a lamp-post.
A wave of laughter swept the court

However, the result to Herbert was
the same. He was fined total of $50
