Propo sals of the French delegation deal ing -with the French view of what their r.aval ratio shoud be under the American limitation plan will be pre sented at the first opportunity. This became known last night following Return here of Admiral De Bon and i." staff. - While no offical forecast of the Tench view tias been disclosed the felcpation view has been disclosed the to ask for an aggregate capital ship tonnage ejual to that of Japan as compared with the United States. Italian naval proposals which, like those of France, have been held in abeyance pending settlement of the sta-us of the I'nited States, Eng land and Japan, are said to be based vn estimates which call for a cap. jial ship standing equaling that of France. Jt is regarded as possible that French and lta'ian naval advisors mny fail to agree as to the relative strength of the fleets of the two " The French view seems to be def inite that the Italian requirements would not be more than three fourths of foeir own. Before the wnr, it was pointed out, French and Italian navies were on a 8-6 ra France's inability to continue con struction during the war it is only 5-5. French nava. experts consider their communications from France . Indo-China and their extensive Asiatic coast line as requiring a flat as large as that of Japan ;hich has no distant communica tions. The French Near Eastern in terests, including their mandate over ivria. is another element in their naval estimates and they have be sides a. country banded, as they say, "by three seas," the Mediterranean, toe Atlantic and the..

Since the collapse r-t Russia and the mining crisis in tlr.gUnd, Italy bas been obliged to import almost entirely from the American continent all the coal and Iron she needs: one-third of the wheat she consumes and most of the raw materials. Italy has come to Washington with tits sincere desire of working for the reduction of both land and naval a rn&ments, those close to the delega tion said, but this can only be done If all the countries are ready to re duce their military forces propor tionately. Italy would be ready to ccept a reduction of her fleet on condition that that of France would he equally reduced. It was explained, in order to obtain an equilibrium ,of naval forces ia the Mediterranean. PiEFIIX MEETING BIRMINGHAM.

Not content with the regular program, consisting of a big feature drama, a comedy, a news reel and the Columbia orches tra, the management has added two features which in themselves form a complete show. First rur .authentic views of Koy Gardner, the famous mail bandit, whose sensational escape from Mc- iViel s Island and subsequent capture here in the act of looting a United States mail car, caused nationwide interest, are shown. lie is seen on the street - handcuffed to United States Marshal Dillon, during his ar raignment at the federal court; in the coun'y jail talking to Mrs. Gard ner, playing cards with his cell mate and conversing with the man who brought about his capture. The mail car where the attempted robbery took place will also be seen. . -Gardner is Uie Thost picturesque bandit since the days, pf Al Jennings, and these pic tures or mm will no doubt prove very interesting to those who have been following the case. ,. As an added feature. 12-vear-nld Miss Kmily Ganiard, who has been singing since her fifth birthday, will present an illustrated song number. -vvnen we Were In Sweetheart Land." "Miss. Ganiard possesses a very, remarkable volume and tonal purity for one so young, her voice is sweet and clear and can be easily oearo in any part oj the house- Snub Pollard is seen In a riDDinsr comedy, "Gone to the Country." Snub springs a few surprises that will cause a roar. A Literary Digest Topics reel that is full of the wit and humor of the country and the enlarged Columbia orchestra presenting a musical set ting which greatly enhances the dra matic value of the big scenes in the feature picture, "His Brother's Keep er," further augment this already large , program. '.His Brother s Keeper" is a strong drama dealing with the question, "Can one man by hypnotic Influence cause another man to commit mur der . The uncanny way In which Rex Radcliffe, theunscrupulous rail way president, causes a young man to murder his employer makes one shudder. The part of Kadcliffe is ably portrayed by Rogers Lytton, who is supported by an all-star cast. In the closing scenes of this drama the tangle unravels, the mental mur derer is brought to justice and the young man freed of the crime. This program is proof that the Co lumbia is striving to give it's patrons the very largest entertainments pos- sioie at regular nouse prices. "A Trip to Paradise" Strand Bert Lytell in "A Trip to Paradise' is proving a most enjoyable feature with the Strand patrons, where the attraction is continuing over today and tomorrow. It is a delightful comedy drama, with a decicedly novel innovation in the way of unfoldment and presents Bert Lytell in the role of a "barker" at Coney Island. It is in mis capacity tnat ne nas made a great hit with the tourists, and an exceedingly great hit with "Widow uoiana, who owns "The Trip to Paradise," a roller coaster concession. The widow" has ideas of marriage, with "Curley Flynn" (Bert Lytell) as the other member of the contract but when pretty little Nora O'Brien walks into the life of the jazz hearted "barker" the widow's chances go up in smoke. Curley never took anything seri ously in his life and marriage was to him a huge joke. The serious side did not make itself apparent until the widow out of jealousy "fired" him. Gone was the sunny disposition and the happy smile, desnondencv took its place, and in a fit of desperation curley was about to listen to the ad vice of the "widow" forsake his wife and return to his old job on "The Trip to Paradise." But Nora told him her secret she was soon to be come a mother.

It is one of the most compelling bits of dramatic action Lytell has yet brought to the screen, and serves as a wonderful climax to a very enjoy able story. Marie Prevost is under lined for the Strand to start Sunday, appearing in "Moonlight Follies," a saucy, naughty nice comedy, piquant and delightful. r The Frolio What is the doughnut dance what is it like how is it done where did it come from? These and dozens of other fluestions fired nightly at E. S. Mayfield at the Frolic show plainly the interest manifested in the latest innovation which the Frolic an nounces for next Monday evening. The idea, according to Mayfield, has been handed down from the time when knights rode spirited steeds and charmed the lady fair by their gal lant showing at the tournaments. In those times the knights used a long steel spear, the object of the tourna ment being to gallop at full speed and endeavor to hook the little ring suspended from a rrame. But much different will be the doughnut dance, such is the advance of modern ideas The tournament skill will be dis played during the dance and the con testants w ill be required to use only the left hand. But there, we will get ourselves all mixed up in attempting to describe the dance, it is one of those things that one really has to see to be vaguely aware of the pos Simmies, a contest in whicn one ac tually has to engage to get the full thrill. But the fun, that's where ev eryone comes in, the dancers as well as those who look on. The Frolic an nounces special prizes will be award ed the winners, that special music by Carrol Keeci s symphony in jazz will be another feature, and that special decorations win add to the enjoy ment. There will be no advance in either the admission charges or the price of dancing during the doughnut dance next Monday night.

David Powell finishes Ills engage ment today at the Rialto where the final screenings will be given his latest Paramount feature "Danger ous Lies." It is a story of married life dealing with still another angle of the domestic state, and finds its inspiration in the lesson it conveys. E. Phillips Oppenhcim. one of the most versatile of all the present day authors, and the man responsible for many of the present screen successes wrote the original script, and with his usual force and style, he has prepared a very adaptable vehicle for David Powell. The role of the star is that of a wealthy Englishman who falls In love with the destitute daughter of a deceased clergyman. It happens that the clergyman has been made the dupe of a scheming scoundrel who plotted for the hand of the girl. Ilis scheme bankrupted the family treasure, and the mar riage ceremony had been performed before the girl was aware -of the character of the man who had led her to the altar. Fear caused his flight to Africa, and for many months nothing was heard of him. The girl supposing him dead accepted the proposal of the man of wealth, but failed to advise him of the former marriage. The first husband's un expected return, and the clever twists which Oppenlieim has given the Rtory brings to light the object TODAY AND TOMORROW A personally conducted tour through Coney Island, on a love special that speeds through romance BERT LYTELL A Trip to Paradise A Metro Classic WHATS THE MATTER, DEAR ARE VOO MAT?
