I. U. S. within 6 months from the date of this notice. : Christiansted, St. Croix, this 7th day of Februa~y 1921. INNIS BEHAGEN, Admanastrator. | ored -paper appears a-complaint on ac- | count of the No Exit during intermis- sion in Christiansted Theatre. | To quote Theatre Patrons : | “‘Such a rule does not exist at any thea- | tre in KEurope or America, and does | not obtain in Denmark ete. ete.’”’ this rule does certainly exist in many other places. | It is not “‘allof a sudden’’ there has | arisen such a failure to control the tick- ets, as the difficulty in this matter | has existed since the theatre opened in August 1918, but the matter of obtain- | ing admission to theatre has lately been | put in system toa degre> as never be | tore; formerly the fencing wire en- | closing the theatre was cut in the rear bug lately “‘the enemy”’ h»s changed | tactics and made an a*tack on the iront, viz: when the bell has rung and the pa- | trons are starting to re-enter the theatre | in big numbers then '‘the enemy’’, who | from dark corners all around has been | awaiting this opportune moment, will | rush to the gate and simply sweep away the door-keeper, such obtaining ‘‘free’” | admission in no small numbers; that this situation was impossible in the long run | [ think every reasonable person will | agree to. With regard to the “‘rumors’ about | the cold drinks and the underselling of | the theatre I must say that the sell ng of | cold sodas in the theatre has never been | considercd a business proposition from | my side as the income from the sale of g “‘Sweet Sodas’’ is so small that it is ab- | solutely without significance for the thea- | tre, but hes solely been instituted to fa- | cilitate the patrons, which is also proved | by the fact that the price of sodas was | substantially reduced after a considera- ble reduction had been obtained from the manufacturer. Respectfully EINAR SVENDSEN - el -X &Y 1S TELEGRAMS. "2 ST. CROIX STATION. Birminghani, Feb. sth.—Mr. [l.loyd George in a speech here today, deal- ing with the iecent meeting in Paris of the Allies Supreme Council, said that before the last election he laid it down that Germany was morally bound to pay for the wanton damage she had inflicted, but that. one could only get from a debtor what he was capabie of paving. He asserted, in this con- nection, that Germany must not be allowed to pay in away that would in- jure the country receiving payment. By cheap goods, for example. The oc- casion of the Premier’s speech was his re- ceiving the freedom of the city. Paris, Feby. sth —Violent protesta- tions against the decisions of the Su- preme Council regarding reparations are still being published by Berlin newspa- pers, says the ‘‘Petit Parisien’s’’ cor- respondent in that city. The correspon- den: asserts that Hugo Stinnes, the capitalist, and Dr. Karl Helfferih, a former Vice C ancellor, are trying to form a reaction, partly from peoples and Nationalist parties which have a repre- seniarion in the Reichstag of 115 anti- constitutional deputies. I'he newspaper Excelsior here, commenting on this sub- ject says there is everywhere in Germany a viclent campaign of agitation against the entente as well as for the purpose of restoritg the monarchy. In the Cham- ber of Deputies M. Briand asserted that the deecisions reached at the Supreme Allied Conference were the best terms obtainable for France from Germany under the conditions obtaining at pres- ent. The Premier requested the Cham- ber to acecept or reject the decisions as a whole. It was declared that all the deputies vho had indicated their desire to be heard should speak before a vote was take on the quest on, and the dis- cussion was postponed until next Tues- day. “’Ihave done the best I eould,’’ said M. Briand, ‘'‘if there is a man in "this chamber wvho has a better practical pro- gramme, let him come to the front”’ Paris, Feby. 4th.—M. Andre Tardieu, former High Commissioner to the Uni- ted States, finished in the Chamber of Deputies today the criticism he began yasterday of the Paris reparations agreement, and Premier Briand answer- ed. M Tardieu request th-t the Cham- ber should not ratify the agreement now but -ait a few weeks, which was con- sidered in the lobbies as a suggestion for delay until the new United States administration has been inaugurated M. Briand said he did not bring to the (‘hamber an ironclad contract which parliament must accept, and did not want to put the chamber in the pre- sence of an accomplished fact. The situation, he declared, was this. If the Chamber approved the accord, he would go tn the London Conference. If the Chamber disapproved then some one must be sent. Birmingham, Feby. 4th.—‘‘The Gcvt. formally proposed a ecancellation of all inter-allied debts, but the proyosals were unacceptable to the United States GGovernment’’, said Mr. J. Austin Cham- berlain in a speech to his constituents here today. ‘‘To make them again would be,I think,” Mr. Chamberlain contin- ued. “‘beneath our dignity, and would render us liable to a misconception of our motive. In making them,’”’ he said, “‘we sought no national advantage for ourselves. We proposed a solution in which we should liave foregone claims larger than any remitted to us. and we proposed it because we believed it would be in the interest of good relations amongst people’s, the re-habilitation of National credit and the restoration of National Trade Our great international debt is due to the obligations we under- took on behalf of our allies. If we had only ourselves to consider, we should have been practically free of external debt at the present time’’. Mr. Chamber lain prefaced his remarks by saying that he would have preferred it at the close of the war the whole inter-allied debt had been wiped out, so is to start with a clean slate. There was no propesal for a settlement of the international debt among the Allied and associated pow- ers, whether for total or partial remis- sion, which the British Government would not have been prepared to be a party to, he declared.
