Tomorrow Loew's Poll theater presents "The Crime of Dr. Hallet."
 What was this "crime" of pr. Hallet? Was he a murderer? Was he thief? Or was his "crime" a noble sacrifice in the interest of science and humanity?

It will give you new thrills of romance, it will find new heart strings to tug, and will stay with you for long time after the final curtain"

 No Expansion Agreement
 AS regards the Hitler -Mussolin! talks at Rome, the foreign office af- ter full study of it's diplomatic dispatches is convinced that Pre- micr Benito Mussolini did not agrec to Germany's policy of expansion III CNilkLdi ullo ocutllCuotClil ELI OIJt but kept his freedom of action, even though 1t was anticipated he would support automatically any peaceable action Germany might take.
 The foreign office does not believe that Mussolini and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler agreed on any definite as- signment Of exclusive fields of in- fluence. For one thing, 1t was said any effort to establish such zones of influence must take for granted the willingness of the country con- cerned to be included, and must also reckon on the abandonment, by France and Great Britain ol their economic, financial, political and moral influence in that coun. try.
 Will Retain Her Rights
 AS for France, a spokesman as- serted that she never will abandon her rights either in Runania or Jugoslavia and that she doubted that either country would accep, the imposition of such a monopoly of influence. France is bound by treaty to aid Czechosloyakia against any attack.

 "The fact that the British and Italian governments have been able to compose their differences by agreement has entitled those gov ernmepts to claim that they have made contribution to information al peace and therefore have served the interests which this great in- stitution was designed to promote, ? he said.
 Georges Bonnet, foreign minister of France, then warmly approved the British-Italian treaty and said that his government appreciated its value.
 We also have undertaken nego- tiations with Italy" he said, and if, as I hope, a favorable result is achieved soon I believe the cause of peace will be served"
