"The Custard Cup," the Fox Film Corporation picture featuring Mary Caur, at the Allen today. Here is a story wigh-a series of characters and incidents that are as natural and lov- able as the situations and types in "Mss. Wiggs of the Cabbagc Fateh." of hlessed memory. Mrs. Penfield who is called "Penzie" by hér neigh- bors, has endeared herself to thous- ands &f readers all over this coun- try by her unselfish cheerfulncss, and she ds "Penzie' to them as well as to her foster children. Readers of the story who are familiar with the family of the optimistic Httle washer-womaa and the strongly marked individuals who are ner triends and neighbors, will fiad them all in the screen version, with not a feature nor characteristic al- tered. Tirst, there is the precocious "CUSTARD CUP" reliance and bis admiration for the fistic accomplishments of the pugra- cious Lettie. This quick-witted young person, educated in the stern school of necessity and urged on by an in- satiable appetite, who knows ol no other means of getting the thing snd wants except to fight for ft, is play- ed by little Miriam Batista.

"Nero," a William Fox special, 'was presented at the Strand theatre Jast night for the first time and it is a picture worthy of the name, stag- gering in Ms magnificence, gripping in its story, wonderful in the hand- Hing of its mobocracy; "Nero" comes pretty néar standing alone --- the acme of the spectacular in motion pictures. The scenes of the burning of Rome are magnificent, and can- not help but give a movie fan a nerv- ously enjoyable evening." Patrons of The Strand who saw this picture last evening were greatly pleased, so much so that many expressed the in- tention of secing the picture again. The production will be shown tonight and tomorrow afternoon and even- ing. A DISASTROUS FIRE Wilbert Ball' Barns at Vennachar, . Burned--Fire in Woods. Vennachar, August 11.--Fire on the 10th, supposed from the chim- ney of Wilbert Balls' house, caught in his barnyard, spreading immedi- ately to the barn, horse stable and pig pen, of which, none were saved. By immediate use of the telephone farm- ers with their cars soon placed the bucket brigade on*the scene and a favorable wind saved his house, Then it was noticed the fire had been car- ried by the wind to the woods, just east of the barn. but the government fire rangers and neighbors are hold- ing the fire in check to-day, but with very dry weather it is hard to con- trol.

The fire is on the property of John Storrington and John Woodcock. It is on some very rough land and ex- tends over to Beaver Lake, almost to Erinsville. r The Whig was in telephone com- munication with Tamworth Tuesday noon and it was stated that the fire- figifters appeared to have the blaze under control and that it was not ex- pected that there would be any seri- ous trouble. rts : And Still Another. Tuesday noon it was learned that bush fires were also causing trouble around Arden. The Whig telepiion- ed Arden and learned that the fires were reported about eighteen or twenty miles from the village, but apart from this there was no infor- mation available.

London, Aug. 14. -- If, as. it is expected, France and Belgium de- cline 6 meet the British views at all on reparations, the next step will be to sound out the other allies and neutrals about the appointment of a commission to assess Germany's ca- pacity to pay and to determine the most convenient method of paying. It is certain that Italy and Japan will agree with Great Britain on this plan, and most of the northern neu- trals as well. It is hoped that Amer- ica and some nations of the littie entente will agree, and all hope is not gone that Belgium may still tire of being tied to the tafl of the French military kite. In any case, the British argue that they are now committed to Investi- gate the Germans' capacily to pay. They have declared to France that they only want from France and Gerflany together, enough to pay the American debt. The amount of the American debt is known. When they determine what they can expect to get from Germany, they will be ahl2 to fix the amount which they are de- termined France shall pay. British Heavily Taxcd. Thero is still some hope that France will see reason when the mat- ter is presented in terms of doliars and cents and when she realizes that the more she wrecks Germany the more Great Brifain will demand from her. Until Mr. Baldwin's rote was published today, few realized how much money France owed Great Bri- tain or that she would make no at- tempt to pay. It is pointed out to- day that the Britons, who went into the war to save France from destruc- tion and who incurred the Amerjcan debt in order to be able to fi®nce France, are being taxed abonit. £16 ($10) per capita annually, while 'he French are only being taxed about five pounds, ten shilijngs. It is also pointed out that there is no more reason for Great Britain to forgive the French debt than for America to forgive the British debt, the British relations to the French being much the same as that of the allies to America. Baldwin's Stand Praised. With the exception 2f Lord Roth- ermere's Daily Mail and Lady Rath- the English press today is unanimous in its praise of the strength of Mr. Dald- win's note and demands that it be followed by equally strong action. There is a large school of opinion demanding the immediate withdraw- al of the British troops 'from Col- ogne, but there is at loast an equaliy large school holding that this wouid be turning over to France the only security England has got for her share of rcparations. At ony rate, this is not likely until an indepen- dent commission, which is now a'- most certain to set up, has report- ed. ---- Bath Baseballers Successful.
