The best informed circles at -Geneva do not share the passimis- tic tone of the press regarding, the result of the Naval Limitation Conference, and the chief dele- gates have agreed among them- selves not to express publicly any opinion on the merits of the res pective cases, or do more than ex- plain the meaning of the faets and figures upon which they are bas- ed.
Press comments should be dia- counted. It should also be noted that all delegates are eager to reach
agreement. This important factor in estimat- ing the prospects of the Conference is neglected many of the correspondents, who forecast that Monday's plenary session will mark the end of nego- tiations.

CINEMA STAR DUE HERE TO-DAY,
FRANCIS X, BUSHMAN.
Among those due to arrive in the Colony to-day by the ss. President Polk, is MF Francis X. Bushman, who is one of the best-known stars of Hollywood and who is not unknown to all cinoma goers. It was as far back as 1906 that Bushman first did cinema work, appearing in the old type of two and three reel films.
After a long spell at the screen, this talented actor spent six years in vaudeville work, but he returned to the silver sheet some two or three years ago; making his re-entry as Massala in the famous "Ben Hur" picture. He has taken the lead in many pictures, among his most successful being "The Marringe Clause." It is Intereating to add that Bushman is just a little way beyond the 40 mark. He is now travelling round the world'
