Immediate resumption of hostilities in Ireland is not regarded as probable, even If the conference falls by experts from Ireland representing the government, nor by the Sinn Feiners. All the machinery for preserving the truce will be maintained in operation for a time, and meanwhile, before the military police is tried again, it is believed an attempt will be made to obtain decision from the Irish people themselves or the question of whether they prefer war to accepting anything less than a republic.

Wi, i AS PARTOF EMPIRE Britain Will Not-Negotiate With Envoys of Ultimatum Says Crisis Caused By De Valera's Message to Pope May Be Smoothed Over By The Astociated Press LONDOiN, Oct- 24 The first real crisis in the Irish conference, caused by Earn on De Valera's assertion of Irelands' Independence in his message to Pope Benedict last week, is not healed, but there are hopes, if not prospects, that it may be smoothed over or compromised. The representatives of the British government and of the Dail Elreann conferred for nearly three hours hours this afternoon, and this question was the only one- before the conference, which adjourned until 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

Tht government is understood to have placed clearly before the Sinn Fein delegates its ultimatum, or declaration, that Great Britain will deal Sinn Fein Ireland only as a part of the British empire and not the representatives of the Sinn Fein as plenipotentiaries of an independent republic. Prime Minister Lloyd George mad' the government's policy clear to the House of Commons before he walked over to the Irish conference at his official residence in Downing street. He said Mr. De Valera's message was a "grave challenge," that the government's position on that question (meaning Independence) had been made abundantly clear and that the conference could not proceed upon any other basis. Delicate Diplomacy Needed The business of today's conference was described after adjournment as an attempt to agree upon a formula which would carry the conference over the apparent deadlock created by Mr.

Da Valera's statement. That this requires delicate diplomacy goes without, saying. Mr. De Valera's claims of Ireland's independence in preliminary correspondence with Mr. Lloyd George apparently were compromised by a tacit agreement to avoid any discussion of them, ut apparently the issue now has reached a stage whern avoidance of the subject, or a compromise upon it, is almost impossible.

Fri. Sat. NELL SHIPMAN in "THE GIRL FROM GOD'S COUNTRY" game lasts long enough, or if one the players is especially unsuccessful in drawing the higher cards, the possibilities are obvious. But on the opening night the game did not progress so far. What may occur later is at least intriguing.

The story which Mr. Hopwood tells is about a colony of motion picture players at Hollywood. A leading man and leading woman are cast for the completion of a film on which they worked before they were married, a ceremony, by the way, that was inopportunely interrupted on their wedding night. Thereafter the story has more to 4o with action than sequence. The press paid their usual compliment to the playwright, and the playgoers, who appear to be responding with satisfying results to the manager, find much to amuse and something, to shock.

Which means, by the usual token, that "The Demi Virgin" is not a "demi-success." It is a full-fledged one. Hazel Dawn, Constance Farber, Kenneth Douglas, Charles Ruggles, Alice Hegaman, Glenn A riders and a group of especially attractive undraped and semi-draped ladies of the screen contribute to its success. And it is tastefully and originally staged, too. "A Bachelor's Night," by Wilson Collision, was presented by John Cort. It is a conventional farce, which is freely admitted by the author in a program note.

There is a bachelor's apartment, fn vacation, illicitly rented by the maid to a young thing from Iowa. A taxicab wreck introduces a wife, who is bent on a clandestine meeting. The presiding genius of farce brings in several other women of the hard boiled type. This is the convenient place for the unexpected return of the bachelor proprietor of the apartment, who finds one woman in his bed, another in advanced state of undress and the others enjoying all the freedom of the placed Of course the husband of the wife of black intentions also arrives. And that is where all the doors are employed to promote the flutterings and excited goings-on.

The dialogue is ultra-modern, and for those who seek their entertainment in the category suggested by this brief synopsis, will find quite as much to laugh at here'as he would at any other play of a similar type. "As Ye Mould" is said to be a play presented somewhere down town by a group of indiscriminate players headed by Geoffrey Stein who usually leads in plays that do not justify more space than is required to announce the title. Wnat-ever shortcomings the present play offers is not comparable to the shortcomings of the chief player to depict the character he assumes. It is tiresome piffle. many miles, contends the Bureau of Entomology, shows the importance of general sanitary measures to destroy breeding places.

Pneumatic Tire Inventor Dies DUBLIN, Oct. 24 (By A. John Royd Dunlop, known as the inventor of the pneumatic tire, died here today. He was eighty-one years of age. His invention, first introduced in 1S88, resulted in the popularizing of bicycling and was a forerun ner to passenger automobiling.

HELPED WHEN ALL ELSEJAD FAILED Strong Testimonial Given By Wilmington Man for the New Herbal Remedy PRAISE OF PLANT JUICE His Wonderful Improvement Causes Comment Among His Friends Thousands of people in Wilming-on are needlessly suffering from dis orders of the blood, stomach, liver and kidneys. Relief is near at hand and is within the reach of everyone. Many have found quick deliverance from their suffering by the use of Plant Juice, the new herbal stomach medicine, which is composed of a combination of nature's remedies, roots, herbs, barks and ber ries, that are essential to health. That is why it regenerates the blood supply, overcomes rheumatism, eliminates catarrh and puts the stomach in condition to digest the food supply. That this is proven conclusively it is only necessary to listen to the statements made daily by local peo pie who have given Plant Juice i fair trial.

Take, for instance, the testimonial recently given by Mr. Stanley F. Derejko, of No. 858 Bennett street, who is employed in a large plant here and has many friends. He said: "I cannot find words to express my gratitude to Plant Juice for the way in which it made a new man of me.

I was so run down and weak from stomach, liver and kidney trouble that I was operated on twice but did not get relief. I learned of Plant Juice through a friend, who told me how wonderfully it had helped him and others he knew, so I got a bottle and started to take it. I commenced to pick right up and had an appetite for my meals; I do not suffer from gas or bloating any more, my liver and kidneys are in fine shape, my bowels active and I sleep fine. I haven't lost one day's work since I started to take "Plant Juice and have gained in weight at the rate of 2 and 3 pounds a week from 119 pounds, I now weigh J35. My wonderful Improvement in health has.

been the source of much talk among my friends and I gladly tell my experience in the hope that it will benefit others who suffer as I did." Plant Juice is sold in Wilmineton at The Miller Drug Store. 404-406 Market street; in New Castle by E. Challenger Son; in Newport by C. B. White; in Newark by W.

E. Brown. NEW YORK, Oct 24 Playsvrs, who take their art or trade seriously, endured less effort this week in witnessing the new plays than for some time past. Only three of consequence claimed their attention. In importance the first was Arthur Hopkins's excellent production of "The Claw," adapted from the French of Henri Beriwtein by Edward Dunn and Louis Wohelm, and acted with consummate skill by Lionel Barrymore, supported by Irene Fenwick, Doris Rankin, Charles Konnedy, E.

J. Ballantine, Giorgio Majeroni and others The story is told with grim reality, recounting the study of a well known journalist who, through love for his wife Just married, barters his reputation, honor and manhood to hold her love. And then loses her. From the high estate held in the councils of his party he becomes a pawn in her hands. He becomes a traitor to nis principes and finally to bolster his depleted fortune and to gratify her ambition, he is detected accepting a bribe.

When his house is about to fall about him she departs with her lover, leaving the now broken 'husband to face the music as best he may. The play is brought to a termination by his death from apoplexy induced by the menacing crowd which surrounds his home with jeers and threats. It is a story more familiar to the French than tj our country, and with due allowance fails to make an appeal except in so far as it affords Mr. Barry-more an opportunity to coiiLnuute some of the most effective dramatic acting the stage has witnessed in a decade. Indeed, such notable work has seldom been seen here or anywhere, Irene Fenwick, as the heartless wife, and Doris Rankin, as the daughter by another marriage, who is driven from the home of her father, are the two chief assisting artists.

But the acting is skilful throughout and the staging effective and appealing. It may be that New York is in a olass by itself, but when the first-night audience witnessed Avery Hopwood's latest opus, 'The Demi-Virgin," they spent many restless moments awaiting the scene or scenes which are supposed to have shocked the Pittsburg police into official interference. Up to tn of the final curtain nothing occurred that might explain this officious act. In the final act it seemed we were approaching it when the playwright introduced a new card game which has possibilities, but wmch also has its disadvantages if popu-lirity is sought. It is called "Stripping Cupid," and the rules are simple.

A pack of cards are used and each of the players pick one. The holder of the low card removes one article of apparel. Eventually if the DEVICE TO GAUGE KINDS OF ROADS Bv International News Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 An ingenious device, perfected by the Bureau of Public Roads, of the Department of Agriculture, will disclose what happens under a roadway as traffic passes over it, it was announced recently. This unique instrument was developed to ascertain what thickness of roadbed is required for light or heavy traffic on various kinds of soil.

The device measures desired distances, how the burden of traffic is distributed through the roadbed to the soil on which it rests. When the facts have been fully obtained and the traffic burden on the nearby and underlying soil can be correctly measured, it is expected to prove of invaluable aid to road makers as to the proper thickness of the roads they should construct on varying kinds of subsurface. The tests are being conducted at the department's experimental farm at Arlington, Va. 24 CEMENT CONCERNS NAMED IN TRUST SUIT CHCAGO, Oct. 24 A suit in equity to enjoin the Midwest Cement Credit and Statistical Bureau from "Keeping up an unlawful combination and conspiracy in restraint of interstate trade and commerce in cement" was filed in federal court today by then government.

Twenty-four firms are named as defendants. The defendants operate thirty mills in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky. "Ninety per cent of the cement used in the middle west is manufactured by the defendants." Assistant United States District-Attorney Mil-roy said, "while their output is one-third of all the cement manufactured in the United States." The bill states that the twenty- four defendants ship approximately jo.uoo.ooo barrels of cement annu ally. GIRL WHO DEFIED BEACH CENSORS FLEES ASYLUM ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 24 Shore police were advised today of the escape of Louise Rosine Johnson, California writer, from the State Insane Asylum at Trenton.

She was taken into custody here last summer following her heated refusal to roll 'em up and badly battered up Patroman Ed Shaw when he attempted to arrest her. The comely coast girl appeared on the beach in a forbidden one-piece suit and stockings well rolled down. The outffit shocked the beach censor because it showed no respect for rigid so-called propriety rules. promulgated at City Hall. PEST, THE HOUSE FLY, TIRELESS TRAVELLER WASHINGTON, Oct.

24 That bothersome, obnoxious pest, the fly is a tireless little traveler, according to experiments conducted by the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture. The tests showed that the house fly makes an average journey of five to six miles in the space of twenty-four hours. Upon being released after capture flies would travel as high as 1000 feet in the air in a few minutes during the experiments. The ease with which files travel Pretty Girts, Fascinating Cos-tumes and Real Comedy Make Up Bill Little Musical Comedy, Full of Catchy Music and Interesting Lines Pretty girls in fascinating; costumes, comedy that Is spontaneous and uncovered by moss, graceful dancing and catchy music all com-bined to make the show which opened at the Garrick last night one of the snappiest seen here for some time. As for the pretty girl part the Browne sisters made a big hit with their singing and dancing musical i revue.

They changed their costumes three times during their act. each time appearing in something more original and charming than the last. Jn their last change they' were be-feathered troubadors playing the ac-cordian. They played this instrument very well, starting with some Spanish airs and ending up with rip roaring ragtime. Their dancing was always graceful.

Angel and Fuller put the house into an uproar of laughter in a first elass comedy act. It is the sketch of an aged lover telling of his engagement to a girl of 69. He said "I took the old kid out last evening and showed her the time of her young life." He gets away splendidly with a part which might on a les3 finished comedian be unattractive. "Flirtation" is a little gem of a musical comedy and came as a pleasant surprise in the vaudeville show. It is full of catchy music and interesting lines.

Lowell B. Drew and Wallace are the principals. Something quite new in the way of entertainment was the song composition of Harry Breen, rapid-fire song writer, poet, comedian and monologist. Without any preparation Breen makes songs about someone in the audience, about the wry or some big topic of the moment. This is well worth seeing.

There W. D. Pollard, a man of uncommon nonsense, the Denno Bisters, Thibault and Cody, the vBinging and dancing quartette of speed and class. Little Jewel, Faulkner and the Minature Revue all combining in carrying out the excellence of the program. There is not a dull number in the show.

PRESIDENT AND FORMER PRESIDENTS AT KEITHS The most extraordinary news feature of the week in the world of the theatre was the presence at the regulation performance in the Keith Vajideville Theatre, Washington, D.J of three Presidents of the United States, the incumbent, President Warren G. Harding; former President Woodrow Wilson and former President William Howard Taft, all of whom came on successive days -of the same week to witness Gertrude Hoffman's all-Amerlcan presentation of the grand ballet, which is the inaugural feature of the "third of a century" Jubilee celebration of the Keith Vaudeville Circuit. It is the first time in the history of the American theatre 'that three presidents attended any performance during thersame week and the presence of our foremost "three" during one week at the Keith Theatre in the national capital may well be taKen as an indication of the worldwide interest aroused by the "third of a century" aniversary of Keith vaudeville as conceived and launched by E. F. Albee.

The celebration of the jubilee will he held at the Garrick Theatre in Wilmington. Just when and in what manner will not be announced till later. ALPINE Nothing more realistic has been produced in motion pictures than the "big" scenes in "Quo Vadis." now plavine at the Aldine Theatre, Market at Eighth street. There is the burning of Rome, with its attendant ruin and desolation; there are the sumptuous imperial banquets btiA there are mob scenes galore. But the scene with the greatest punch occurs in the arena of the famous Coliseum.

Every seat is filled with the patricians and citizens of Rome out for a holiday. In the foreground of the arena is a irap door with a huge chain. Far off the little grup of Christians kneel upon the sands, praying and stricken with terror. Nero leans over the high balustrade of the Imperial box, gloating at their suffering. Then tne trap noeins to rise.

The first lion slips out of the opening. Then an mhrr and another until the arena is filled with the lean, hungry look-imr brutes. The kneeling women rlnsn their children close to their breasts and raise their in pray er 83 the brutes slink them Meanwhile Nero and his nobles irlna.t with brutal happiness a.3 the slaughter of the unfortunates begins. The scene is unparalleled in the history of the screen. SAVOY The unique situation of.

an attorney pleading a case before his own wife a judge an the wife convicting her husband's client is one of the many interesting features of "E'ery Woman's Problem," starring Wallace Reid, that commenced a week's showing at the Savoy Theatre yesterday. The interesting situation as pictured in this tense production, although presented as pure fiction, was in. view of the rapid strides being made by the fair sex in the legal field, seems certain to be paralleled before long in real life. Dorothy Davenport, who in private life is Mrs. Wallace Reid, gives a remarkable portrayal as a woman judge in a Western court and afterwards as governor of the Her husband, wno is implicated in a murder and sentenced to death, brings a unique and tragic moment to this unusual picture.

Harold Lloyd in "All Aboard" is Beatty, Oiaz and Jacques Pay Respects to Nation's Chief Executive Belgian General to Put His Own Croix de Guerre on Grave of U. S.

The Mystery 1 Road With DAVID POWELL A Paramount Picture from the story by E.

PHILLIPS OPPENHEIM Sunshine Comedy, "One Moment. Please" coming TOM MOORE in THURS. MADE IN HE A VEN Count Lazzio Szchenyi, who, according to reports from Budapest, will soon be appointed Hungarian Ambassador to the United States. The Countess Szchenyi is the former Gladys M. Vanderbilt, of New York.

She married the Count in 1908 and is now in this country. QUEEN A rare example of artistic motion picture photography coupled with an unusually powerful and gripping story may be seen at the Queeen Theatre this week, where the Gold-wyn picture, "Snowblind," by Kath arine Burt is now being shown. It is the theatre's feature celebration of the national "Goldwyn Week." There is nothing of the frail maiden or the lounge lizard in "Snowblind." With such a splendid out-door man as Russell Simpson in the lead role, one may be sure that the story revolves about elemental passions blown to their hottest flame; tne love, hate and fear of a group 0f four people who live together in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. It would be unfair to tell how this triangle works out, for part of its enjoyment lies in the surprise that nature herself has stored up for the three persons involved. ARCADIA "Goldwyn Week" celebration at the Arcadia took a unique form at the Arcadia Theatre with the presentation of "A Tale of Two Worlds." The picture is a delight to the playgoers.

In the first place, it has a story, a really gripping story of love and Intrigue in which a young American is given the opportunity of his life to exercise his intelligence and his physical courage. The spur for all his efforts is an American girl who has been brought to- San Francisco's Chinatown after her parents were killed in the Boxer uprising in 1899. One of the scenic features of the picture is the faithful reproduction of a Chinese street in San Francisco. It is real enough for natives to recognize the shops. MAJESTIC David Powell was 'featured in the Majestic Theatre's photoplay offer-ing, "The Mystery Road," which opened its engagement yesterday.

The title of the picture refers to the road of life and not to any particular mystery in the story of the picture itself. It is life that is the mystery road, whose turnings and whose termination are unknown until met. The story deals with a young Englishman who travels the mystery road of life without giving a thought to the end thereof until it is too late to retrieve his error and to discover that he who fails to cherish the love of a trusting woman, is bound to be a loser in the end. HEWS OF J. E.

Much of the Baum estate is located In Omaha.
