Accord ing to recently intercepted correspond ence from communist officials in Mos cow to communist agents abroad, ad vising them of the "inside situation" in Russia, South America, is looked upon as a final haven of refuge by many of the less hopeful bolshevik leaders in event Russia becomes too hot for them. One of these letters, recently pub lished in a Reval newspaper, the Pos lednie Novosti, advises one of the offi cial's friends, who now is apparently in Germany, to "convert your valu ables into dollars as frequently as you can, or, better still, into South Ameri can currency." "The Octobrists," the letter adds, meaning by them those communists who participated in the October, 1917, revolution, "are , frequently sending their families abroad. Soon, it may bo, I shall send my wife across to you, in which case try to put her up as best you can." ' Referring to the political situation, this communist wrote: "Illitch (mean ing I,emne. that being his middle name by which he is popularly .known in Russia) is weakening, Zinovieff has grown too fat. Trotzky alone remains as of old the unrecognized Napoleon, but he is 'evolutionizing' also." In connection with the sending abroad of the families of the "Octo brists." this letter sroes on: "Will vou kindly keep a detailed account of their arrivals and of their means? P urther, by a decision of the military department of thft nart.v. T want vn;i to withdraw from th hanks all thm deposits at your disposal and put them in sare nanas. wring to Switzerland one-third of the 'iron fund' and hand it to B The rest can be left in Germany for 'any eventualities." The writer, constantly refers to the ruling councils of the bolsheviki as "the Olympians." and remarks that ."our Olympus is going the pace too last. "From January," he says, "the situ ation in the council of the party and in the central committee has come to a point to the last degree. The result of these conflicts was the expulsion of Comrades Krylenko, Bontch-Bouro-vistch, Dubov, Blumenthal and many others.: This was the last gesture of the gay party gods. For a word said against Illitch, Krestinsky or Zino vieff. even not in public, ostracism is imminent." MUTT AND JEFF MUTT COMES OUT SECOND BEST IN THIS CONFAB. X.

Since the world war. whpn thA nam of Canada was written indelibly on the scrolls of fame, and before Americans have admired and respected the sturdy colonials who are buildins a second great North American nation. Canada has been symbolic of determination, courage, and loyalty. The same sterling oualitiea which characterize the northern pioneers form the foundation of "Lying Lips' Thomas H. Iince's second big Asso ciated 'Prodncprs snpcinl whirh will hft featured at the Broadway theater today ror tne last time. The exit and resourcefulness of Blair Cornwall, a young Canadian French man, his conviction of right and his refusal to surrender to wrong, form the pivotal theme around which re volves one of the most poignant and purposeful photodramas of many months. The future and happiness of himself and of a daughter of the English aris tocracy threaten to be sacrificed at the altar of convention. As great as is the girl's love, environment and cus tom are greater. She is unable to free herself of the shackles of silver and satins. Dominated by the necessity of luxuries and too weak to surrender to conscience, she lies to herself and to the man she really loves. In the leading male role "of Blair Cornwall, House Peters is said to offer a characterization more human ana realistic than any in his long career as -a screen star. Florence Vidor, who is co-starred with Peters, is seen as Nance Abbott, the English girl, a part which offered unlimited scope for her dazzling beauty and sterling dramatic abilities. Charlie Chaplin also appears on this program in a two reel "comedv "The Tramp." The other added attraction is a Mutt and Jeff cartoon. FINANCIAL POLICY OF JAPAN IS OPPOSED Tokio, June 30. Opposition both by Japanese and Chinese merchants at Dairen to Japan's attempt to set up the gold standard in the Kwantupg leased territory as a substitute for the Chinese silver standard ia a leading subject of discussion in Japan. The conservative Jiji Shimpo thinks that if the adoption of a gold standard can facilitate and increase transac tions, it should be carried out, how ever strong the opposition to it may be. But tf, on the other hand, the proposal is calculated to depress and interfere with transactions, it should be opposed From this point of view, the newspaper thinks, it seems that there is reason for the nresent onnn- sition. It is Chinese who buv in the interior districts the staple products of Manchuria and Mongolia and bring them to the Dairen market. Wallace Reid in "The Love Special At The Imperial.
