"The American, people haveset their hearts on the success of the Dawes plan," Mr. Noyes ' continu ed. M ''They will be shocked at my statement and many; jwill be in credulous.

"Herrlot cannot agree to share with Great Britain and Italy the power France now-has in the re paration commission to independ ently declare German . default. Great -Britain on the I other hand cannot agree to join France in en forcing penalties against Germany if she has no voice in decreeing those penalties. Again, if Premier Herrlot were to weaken, Poincare and - the military party would break him." ' ! "Don't Call It Love" at ! Liberty The William de Mille "Don't Call it Love," featuring Agnes Ayres. lack frolt, Nlta Naidi, Theo dore Kosloff and Rod La Rocque. which opened at the Liberty last night, is the story of a man of the world who takes a ' flyer in noli day love, only to find that it is not the enduring kind. ; Mr. Holt is ideal as the man about town.t while Miss Ayres has the sympathetic role of the ne glected Alice Meldrum. Miss Naidi, as the vivid; temperamental prima donna, cannot find an equal any where In the picture world. Mr. de-Mille has produced this picture in -his usual high class ar tistic way. with a keen eye for dramatic values and truthful char acterizations. "Don't Call ; It Love" is a combination of all the comedy and punch of all previous William de Mille productions. It is the last .word in screen enter? tainment a drama of life' and love with a supporting cast that is worthy of the story. .
