QTESTÜ FOREIGN

READY President Wilson Considering Text of Reply to England on Sea Blockade. WASHINGTON. ct. 1 Pre.s't Wils. in now has before him the text of the reply f the state department to (Jreat Rritain on hf-r oppression of Ani'Tiran iiml neutral com mere and also tho text of the reply to G'-nnany ii tho ens" of tho William F. F-rye. The Frye n.t- is xiid to be .satisfactory to the president and will be K'-nt without delay ;ih Germany has m ft tho views of tho ,-tate departm :it both on the principle: of the law ani tho terms of .Ktttlcm nt. OHicials of the state department, howevor, are uncertain how tho president will ileal with 'he text of the note to Great Rritain. Horn" of thorn think Its tone will be moderate. Hon An Points In Not'. These pivotal points were agreed upon by all who hal part in the- writim; of tho nolo which ii now before him for revision. First Neither international law nor tho principle; of retaliation tan ju.stify tho blockade, or tho equivalent of a blockade, of neutral port:'. .'Srains; the commerce of the United Htate.s rr any neutral nation. Second Great üritain. with tho misüsp of the word "contra band" has utilized it to justify tho interception of ommeree with su h neutral ports. Third (ireat Iiritain has from tlmo to time so extended her absolute contraband list that sho has .substantially declared all the prime articles of commerce to bo "munitions of war." Fourth This view of tho case by ihe United states is justified becau.se Ireat Rritain by asumins all importd articles of commerce through neutral porU will d to tho Gorman army has made thni theoretically and actually munitions of war. Fifth Tho .spoclfic acts of Great T'.ritaln in stabli.hinir the prize courts as the JiKi? of what are munitions of war and in actually seizing articles of commerce on that b.'tsis, have put lier outbid all the rules of international law and the spirit of the declaration of London. The state department holds that'a blockade can only h" established against a belligerent port by a .suliit lent naval or land force. Hold Cotton Not Contraband. It holds also that the extension of the character of contraband to cotton Is unjustlüable for the same reason, ami in addition because Great Ilritain has heretofore held not to consider it. Other features of the repl are: That the ships of Americans or other neutrals which have been seized and detained and thrown into prize courts are held despite the well established principle that international law proscribes tho manner in which visitation and search sho'.. b; made and that ireat Ilritain au t inot d in that respects the ri-jht of ntuirals everywhere and in air o.s: every case. That (ireat Britain's contention that the burden of proof of innocence of destination is on the American shipper is contrary to all precedents and to international law and that the United States even In the civil war eases cited by the British foreign otfice has never hold other than tho captor should present suillcient proof to hold the essel. Arsument One of Denial. The whole argument of the United States is ne of denial of all the points which are set up in the notes of ir Edward Grey and Lord Crewe. Tho main point in the host British communications was that Great Britain had a right to "no longer consider" seizures as diplomatic questions and to remit them at once without diplomatic remedy into a prize court. This principle is vigorously denied on tho ground that the sole cause for ics adoption is the assumption that ;:oods seized ami snt to the prize court were intended for the German army and wert; therefore "munitions of war." Tho state department does not admit tho British figure of increase of commerce with Holland and the Netherlands as proof that commerce is for the benefit of German army. The U. b admits an increase. the tho but explains it on the ground that all neutral ports have bce.n cut off for more than a year from tho commerce of Germany and her allies. 22 OF CKEW SAVED. COPENHAGEN. Oct. 12. Twentytwo members of th crew i.f the (lerman steamer Lulea. which was torpetloed by the P.ritish submarine E19 in the Haltic sea on Saturday, have been saved. As the result of the destruction Lulea German steamers in Scandinavian ports have hcen instructed not to put to sea. YOUR STOMACH BAD?

. v i j ?;:v:vv t: J1 1 f ': sci:m; ruo3i out or tiii: dak AT TDK AUDITORIUM. The Auditorium today presents Robert Warwick in the photoplay, "The Flash of An Emerald." The many admirers of this fine actor will have an opportunity 01 sv.eiv.g him in a screen part that elicits another, and not often scon, side of his undoubted genius. As Lucius Waldeck he is "a social vulture preying on his friends and diverting suspicion by his gentlemanly gracious-nec-s." In other words, lie is a polished and insinuating villain. He steals a valuable emerald from a woman in a religious procession; chloroforms her, her maid and the hick child. Later he passes himself off as the secret agent of the Uussian revolutionists. Ho insinuates himself Into the good graces of two ladies, to one of whom he presents the emerald. The lady is the daughter of the woman from whom he stole the jewel. Indirectly this leads to his undoing, and ho commits suicide. The part is a great one, 'and Mr. Warwick dees it tho fullest justice, it is said. There is also a love interest in the photodrama, which ha.s the advantage of beautiful settings, careful direction and a strong supporting cast. The first number of a series of complete short stories called "The NewAdventures of Wallingford," taken from the magazine stories by Georgo Randolph Chester, is also on the bill. The hrst relea.se is entitled "A Bungalow Bungled." and is said to be tilled with thrilling situations and lots of rich comedy. The well-known actor, Burr Macintosh, appears as Wal lingford and Max Fignian as Blackio! Daw. Tomorrow's bill includes "The Closing Net." a live reel drama, adapted from Henry Rowland's novel of tho same name, and "Back to the Primitive," a single reel comedy with Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew. AT THE LASALLE. Charlotte Walker, the celebrated actress, will be seen at the LaSalle today in the Jesse 1 Lasky production of the rippin drama, "Out of Darkness." .Miss Walker will be well remembered here for her artistic performance in the photo-drama of the slums, "Kindling." In "Out of Darkness-, " however, Miss Walker is seen as a youn& society woman, and has a splendid opportunity to display many 01" her newest gowns'. As the younsj society woman. Helen eott, she has been left the er.Lro ownership of the larpe Scott canneries, but beinjr more interested in society, she leaves the business affairs entirely in the hand of her hard-hsted uncle. One of the thrilling scenes of this play oqeurs when Miss Walker and Tom Forma n in a racing sloop aro? rut- down and sunk by a huge iretgnter. 10 secure tins scene a trans-Pacitic steamer had to be chartered and a racing sloop purchased and sunk. Miss Walker is hurled into the water fully dressed and it was with ditticulty that she was kept from beiiv-j drawn under the steatner as it swept past. Wednesday's picture is from the Wm. Fox studio, and has for tho leading player Wm. Farnum. an actor of nvognized dramatic ability. His portrayal of the' title role in "Hen Hur" is still remembered, and in mote recent film productions such as "Tho Spoilers'' he has retained public favor. The picture which will be shown today is entitled "The Wonderful Adventure." and is largely dependent upon the personality and acting of Mr. Farnum for its success. He interprets two t haraeters. that of an influential business man who becomes dissipated because of a woman and drugs, and also that of a rugged westc ner who happens to be the image of the drug iiend. In each of these parts Mr. Farnum is thoroughly convincing", and the double exposures demanded by the frequent meetings of the two men are llawless. N 1 : W MAN Tit A V I : L-TALKS. Mr. Nexv-ian, who conies to the Oliver this evening, giving the tlrst of the series of travel-talks, has anticipated the tide of travel which Is certain to follow the awakening approbation of South American attractions. He reproduces his journey around the continent, by way of the Straits of Magellan and the Panama canal, xvith many delightful side-trips to the most interesting points hi the interior. He conducts Ids lelloxv travelers from the boundless pampas of Argentina to the highest point in the world reached by a railroad: from the fertile valleys of Prazil to the mining camps on the Rolivian plateau; from the ultra-modern cities on the east coast to the ruined strongholds of ancunt lnean civilization on the vest coast. He -hows colorful scenery unparalleled, enterprise unexpected and a wonderful variety of strange people, and intert-ejtlng places. He also gix'es much information invaluable to business men contemplating or engaged In trade with the Iat in -American republic?. Original motion pictures and xiews. in color, of strikin subjects never before shown in this country, will prove convincingly emphatically "The Land of Today." The peivlng subject is to be "Prazll.

The arrangements are that when any of tho New York attractions have a booking at the Oliver tho local stock company lays off that means that this popular playhouse will be open every night throughout the season and have four matinees every week. But to get hack to the original statement, the Olivers will present "The Lure" this afternoon at the matinee, and the management requests every one that intends to come set there as soon as possible, ! its all indications point to a packed house. Tho Newman travel-talks will be the attraction tonight, so the stock wiil lay off again. 'The Lure" will he presented for the last time tomorrow night. Starting Thursday matinee, "The Girl He Couldn't Buy" will be the play. Till: RAGGED MKSSKXGKIS." 8ince Walker Whiteside, who comes to the Oliver theater Friday evening, was last seen In South Bend, he has won a memorable victory for an American actor In London. He crossed to Kngland something more than a year ago to conclude negotiations for the American rights to "Mr. Wu." On the afternoon that ho wa to sail for New York lie was taking luncheon with Israel Zangwill, who persuaded him to remain In London and tako his original role of David Quixano In the current production of "The Melting Pot." The play was a dismal failure in Kngland. Through friend ship for Zangwill, Whiteside consented. With him in the leading role the critics reversed their Judgment on tho piece and it became tne most talked of play of the season. In "The Ragged Messenger" which Mr. Whiteside brings here, he will have a role fully as sympathetic, and more engaging than that of David ijuixano. AT THE OKPHEFM. "The Dress Rehearsal," which continues at the Orpheu m. Is a musical comedy of the Ziegfehi variety, and is giving splendid satisfaction. The tunes are pleasing and the scenes are delightfully new.

MYSTIC MONK AGAIN BUSY IN RUSSIA Gregory Ka-ptttin Reported to be Ad-i-in Czar on Conduct of War. BERLIN (by wireless via Sayville, N. Y.), Oct. 12. The notorious "mystic monk," Gregory Rasputin, is again making himself felt In Russian affairs and is reported to be advising Czar Nicholas as to the conduct of tho war. Information just received In Germany states that the recent resignation of Procurator Samarin from tho Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church of Russia was brought about by a quarrel with Rasputin, although the reason officially given was that the procurator objected to the canonization of Archbishop John Tobolosk who died two years ago. In the quarrel between Rasputin and the procurator the czar sided with the former. Rasputin was stabbed by a woman two years ago, but recovered. He is said to have been responsible for the Beilis ritual murder trial at Kiev. The Rfi5s!an aristocracy, together with a number of rich Moscow merchants, are preparing to petition the czar to re-establish the autocratic government institutions which were in effect in 1613.
