In speculation as to its signifi- cance, however, there was a note of wonder at various unconventional aspects of General Dawes's plans and at the rush and hurry he is ex- ‘The celerity of his movements from thé time he sets foot in Eng- land at Southampton today until after the Pilgrims’ dinner Tueaday night has given rise to increasing wonder at what may be the special urgency in the ‘background.

He will rush away on & 600 mile train ridé to Forres, Scotland, to begin diplomatic conversation with (3 MacDonald Sunday at noon, or as soon thereafter as the premier has been able to rush in a car from church services 17 miles away to meet him. The foreign office, presided over by Mr. MacDonald's henchman, Ar- thur Menderson, seems to have been ignored entirely in the arrangements, which are said to have been con- ducted with the utmost informality by wireless between General Dawes aboard the Olympic and the United ‘The remarkable. hustle, and other aspects of the situation have quite taken British breaths away, with some Britons disposed to regard it 4s & dramatic display. Others hold the view the new ambassador in- tends to make a striking pronounce- ment on Anglo-American relations at the Pilgrims' dinner Tuesday night and consider it necessary first to confer with the premier, which entailed the hurried dash to Scot- land and imemdiate presentation to King George. The Daily Herald, labor organ, to- day edtorially explained it was not all a merely spectacular hustle but “‘evidence of the earnest desire of both governments to lose no time in beginning conversations which they confidently believe will pave the wa: for a solid lasting understanding be- tween the two nations.” Speed Called Essential ‘The paper continued further: “Speed is absoiutely essential, for the coming weeks hold a heavy pres- sure for the premier. Between the end of the coming parliamentary seasion and the beginning of the next there are three first class events, namely, the Washington conversa- tions, the conference to apply the Young reparations plan, and.the as- sembly of the League of Nations. Unless his program is punctually ful- filled, the American visit would have te wait until winter. ‘This letter contingency the paper Naval Problems U ‘Washington, Jute 14 P — The question of freedom of the seas probably will be-the most important problem which Ramsay MacDonald, the British prime minister, will di cuss with President Hoover it he visits the United States. ‘The -question is closely related, in the minds of many, with the prob- lem of.naval reductian, which the president and Mr. MacDonald also will discuss. Some hold that a set- tiement of naval limitation between | the United States and Great Britain | would automatically take care of ' the problem of freedom of the seas as it concerns these two nations, but others argue that the latter prob- lem must be dispesed of before naval strength can be discussed effectively. Contrary to ' common belief, the qnutlnn is not one which has sprung up since the World War, but dates ; back to ancient Grecian times. His- torical records reveal that a treaty signed then by the maritime govern. ments stipulated that “the signatory powers shall all have the full free- dom of the seas.” 8o far as the United States and Great Britain are concerned in this problem, both official and diploma- tic circles today expressed them- selves as of the opinion that a logi- cal solution would be a division of| hemisphere with the Atlantic ocean as the boundary.

Pictire of Swedish Plane Given By Captain to Girl in This City CAPTAIN AHRENBERG The progress of Captain Albin Ahrenberg and his crew of Nordic fliers, scheduled to hop from Stockholm. Sweden, to Iceland, Greenland, Labrador and New York is being followed with especial in- terest by Swedish-American citizens of New Britain. One of the most interested is Miss Ella Blomgren, sister of Evert Blomgren of 250 West Main strcet, who has been in the United States for the past two weeks. The members of her family in Stockholm are friends of the Ahrenberg family and she has talk- ed over the proposed flight with the captain many times in the past few months. She has a picture of the captain in the plane which is now in Iceland, the first lap of the trip to New York, which he gave to her. One of the mechanics on the trip stayed at her house while the plane was being put Into shape for the flight, and, to cap the climax, Sigurd Malm, who is considered one of the best mechanics in Sweden, came over on the steamer with her, and is to await the huge plane's arrival in New York.

Billings Electric Co., accompany the reception committee when the fliers are greeted in New York. that I deserted the stage—at the time I was playing with' Lenore Ulric in ‘The Bird of Paradise’'—to g0 into pictures. “No, I have not always played in Westerns, although many of my fans seem to believe that I have. My first part was with Billy Burke, and 1 played a Scotch minister. Since that time I went into Westerns, and have made numerous serials. I have also done some work in talking pic- tures, and my first was released just a few days ago. Finds East Wet “Despite rumors to the contrary, I believe that the picture people are the finest in the world. Theirs is not the life of a continuous round of pleasure, as mo many people think. They are serious and they are sober. Why, do you know, I believe that if you came to my home in Hollywood and said: ‘Bill, do you Xnew where I can get a good glass of draught beer,’ I could not tell you of one place? That is the truth. There are not many speak-easies in Hollywood. T doubt if there are any at all. But here in the East—well, that is dif- ferent. “The talking pictures will not af- stars, it seems to me, have better voices before the microphone than stage players who have been im- ported to Hollywood since the start of the talking picture craze. Why it is, I do not know, but probably it is because they have not been used to throwing their voice through a ladge theater. The talking appar- atus, you know, magnifies sound. so much that a whisper almost seems like a shout “I like New England, especially in the spring. It is beautiful. The towns seem so old as if they had been here for ever. When pne comes from the comparative néWwness of California to New England, then he knows what real beauty is. I be- lleve that Mark Twain said that in Australia every day is Sunday ex- cept Saturday, and on Saturdays everyone goes to the races. That is how New England impresses me. Every day is Sunday. .

The buzzer rang. Mr. Desmond’s manager stuck his head in the door. “Two minutes to go. Bill,” he said. ‘The manager started to leave. “Oh Bill,” he caled back. “know anything about marbles? The Her- ald-Junior Achievement tournament will be here Saturday and I have you slated for the referee.
