STILL HOPEFUL

of .international bankers to be called
later,, probably by the Bank of Eng
land, with the United States Federal
Reserve Bank invited to join.
Question for Bankers.
It is admitted that questions of
exchange and currency inflation are
for blinking experts and not for
statesmen or politicians,, and that
they cannot be handled successfully
at this kind of a conference.
The most now expected of Genoa,
even by optimists, is some sort of
Russian agreement, possibly to be
followed by the adoption of Lloyd
George’s 10-yeat non-aggression pro-;
gram.
A week ago adoption of this plan
seemed practically assured. Now it
is doubtful if France will agree,
owing to the Germans having shown
their teeth.
The French in private talk are
saying that the German-Ruasian
treaty is merely another step in Ger
many’s policy of trying to avoid pay I
ment of reparations, and that the j
French army, with its threat of in- 1
vasion, is their only hope of making ;
Germany pay.
Sees 10-Year Pact
Lloyd George, in a statement just
i.ssueij, says that without a 10-year
non-aggression agreement the con
ference will be a failure.
The British premier may be ex
pected to bring all possible pressure
on the French to force complian t
with this program.
It must be said that Lloyd George
is nearly alone in his predictinq that
non-aggression be adopted. No one
else is so optimistic. But, as one of ■
his friends points out, he has been '
accomplishing the seemingly impos- j
sible for a good many years—-and he ■
may be able to put this over despite ,
all difficulties.

AT THE RYLANDER
For the first time in/the history of i
tile Royal Mounted of Canada, this ;
world famed body of Scarlet Riders
has leant its assistance to the realistic
filming of a screen drama, namely,
“Cameron of the Royal Mounted,”
from the pen of the celebrated Cana
dian author “Ralph Connor,” at the
Rylander theater. Tuesday.
Members of the Royal Mounted
have been impersonated by actors ap
pearing in several Ralph Connor
stories, but until the filming of
“Cameron of the Royal Mounted,”
official authority had always been
withheld. The influence exerted
by the Rev. Dr. Gordon, nt>w a
Canadian statesman, and the fact
that Henry Macßae, himself a Cana
dian director, was endeavoring to
present a monumental tribute on the
screen to this famous body of men,
succeeded in"sofftening the hearts of
the commissioners both at Fort Mac-
Leod where most of the scenes were
taken, and at Ottawa where the offi
cial authority had to be secured.
Therefore in this noted film drama
of the mountains and plains the audi
ence behold for the first time in a
feature picture, the actual work of
these fighters in an emergency. Their
skilled work in rounding up revolt
ing bands of Stony and Cree Indians
and keeping renegades from break
ing the law is one of the most realis
tic and absolutely truthful film epi
sodes that has ever been chronicled.
Soul stirring and inspiring in the
highest degree, it sweeps the audi
ence fend the story at the same time,
to a compelling finish of such dra
matic power that even Hottentors
and Eskimo alkie will appreciate it
just as thoroughly as the average
film fan of American or English
cities.

NEGRO DIES OF MEMORIAL DAY
RARE AILMENT PROGRAM READY
Stran; ted To Death By Harden
ing Os Threat Muscles And
’ Tissues
Milton Williams, a negT<s, aged
about 30 years, an ex-soldier, died at
his home,on Allen street, North Amer
icus, Sunday of a rare ailment,
scleroderma. So rare it the ailment
that nearly all of the physicians of
Americus viewed the case. Dr. W. S.
Prather, who bas practiced here many
years, #nd who was consulted on thb
case, said it was the second he had
i ver sefen.
Scleroderma is a skin disease which
hardens the cuticle first, then grad
ually the hardness penetrates into the
body, the tissues becoming filled with
lime deposits and becoming actually
hard, the body assuming the appear
ance of an embalmed body’ and it be
ing impos -ible tb dent the surf act
by ordinary pressure. Williams had
been afflicted since 1918, He said,
but able to be up town a day or two
before he died. According to z Dr.
Prather, death was due to strangula
tion, the disease gradually causing a
hardening antb" contraction of the
muscles and tissues ab. ut the throat.
He said had not the throat been af
fected at this time might have
continued indefinitely for months or
years, although death would have en
sued eventually, since recoids show
cures in not more than 16 per cent of
cases treated., Tie disease is due to
varied causes, such as exposure to
cold, strains and syphilis.
CHURCH UNABLE

The revival meeting of the Cen
tral Baptist" church continues to
