EUROPE'S CRISIS.

ITALY AND THE LEAGUE.

WILL NOT DISCUSS DISPUTE.

(Reuter's Service to the China Mail)

LONDON, September 3. Reuter understands that Italy has instructed the Italian representa- five at the League of Nations to abstain from further discussions in regard to the Italo-Greek dispute.

LONDON, September 3. Reuter learns that Italy has officially intimated to Greece that the Italo-Greek question is not a matter for the League of Nations as it is not a question of right or interest but personal honour and prestige which are mut provided for in the pact with the League.

GREECE SUGGESTS INTERNATIONAL INQUIRY.

LONDON, September 3. The Greek note handed to the Conference of Ambassadors yes- terday expresses astonishment that after the delivery of a collective note whereto Italy was a signatory, Italy should separately have handed an ultimatum to Greece and proceeded to recupy Corfu after Greece had rejected conditions acceptance of which would be consider- ed an admission of the complicity of Greece.

The Greek Government renews its expression of profound sorrow at the crime and expresses willingness to make exhaustive enquiry as proposed by the Conference of Anibassadors. It proposes the appoint. ment of an international commision to conduct searching enquiries in Greece as well as in Albania where the murderers may have taken refuge.

"MAD LUST OF IMPERIALISM."

(LONDON, September 3, The Trarle Union Congress opened at Plymouth, the seven Indred delegates representing 4,369,000 members of affiliated unions. This was a decline of over half a million compared with last

year.

Mr. J B. Williams, presiding, denounced Italy's action, and asked did they intend to stand idly by and see the world's peace imperillr ed because the mad last of imperialism had been transferred from the Hohenzollerns to Mussolini.

"LEAGUE MUST ACT."

GENEVA, September 3. The consensus of opinion, ia League circles is that the League must act in the Italo-Greek conflict despite Itily's attitude. It is un- ilerstood that the Scandinavian Delegates are unanimously of the opinion that should the Comcil abstain from intervention, the Standinavian States will withdraw from the League,

INNOCENT SUFFER.

ORPHAN CHILDREN KILLED.

ATHENS, September 3. Colonel Lowe, the American Director of Relief Orphanages at Corfu who arrived from Corfu with Greek officials, and sixty expelled Greek soldiers, stated that the number killed now reached twenty of which 9 were killed outright, 32 wounded, now in hospital, and some fifty others slightly wounded. All the killed and wounded are refugees or orphans from the American and British orphanages, housed in an old fortress. The fact that sixteen killed are children is due to several hitting the barracks used as Orphanages, whilsts hrapnel shells ex- ploded on the water front fortress, where four hundred orphan boys were bathing.

GENEVA, September 3. When the fourth meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations opened the public galleries were crowded. There was a full attendance of delegates and a most cordial atmosphere. Viscount Ishii, the acting President, made a long speech reviewing the work of the League, and was warmly applaud- el. Viscount Ishii declared that so long as the great réparations dispute embarrassed the relations of its constituent nations the work of the League must necessarily be limited and enfeebled. He earnestly hoped it would be removed before the next meeting of the Assembly. He pointed out that while the League was not yet universal it already covered three-by fourths of the world's population. He finally declared that the League was gradually and surely progres- sing towards the goal its authors conceived.

SIGNIFICANT

ELECTION.

GENEVA, September 3. At the Assembly of the League of the Nations, Doctor Dela Tor- riente, Cuban Delegate was elected

President for the session by 24 votes against 19 for Mr. Motta, of Switzerland. It appears that the dominant factor in the voting was the feeling that Europeans should be eliminated in view of the present crisis.

RUHR AND REST.

IS IT COMING?

PARIS, September 3, French official reports represent that resistance in the Ruhr is rapidly decreasing. The French believe that President Stresemann is preparing the way to a spon- taneous cessation of resistance as preliminary ta formal conversations with Paris and Brussels.

An Open Letter to

Our Patrons.

THE JEWEL SUPER-PICTURE-THE FLIRT" which is to be presented at this theatre this month is, in the estimation of the critics and ourselves, one of the greatest of achievements in the history of the screen.

"THE FLIRT' is BOOTH TARKINGTON'S masterpiece transferred to the screen with a fidelity and sincerity that makes this picture the greatest drama of American life ever produced.

A remarkable cast under the direction of Hobart Henley has made the characters in Booth Tarkington's famous book live and act in a mighty drama that will live in your memory long after all other big pictures have been forgotten.

Naturally, a showman wants everybody to see every picture te shows. But it's something other than mere business that prompts us to plead with you not to miss "THE FLIRT."

It is one of the greatest and most satisfying pictures we have ever seen anywhere. It certainly is of the finest this theatre has ever shown. We are proud to be able to show it at our theatre.
