The
above
quotations
will. suffice
for
today,
or so far as I am concerned, for all
time,
for I will never again write in
the
newspaper
on
this subject.
The
papers
in
St.
Croix
have
nearly
always
been
“funny’’ and they arc
getting
more
so.
I can,
however,
muster
much
more
like
the
above,
and
if needs
be,
bring
out
the
names
of some
who would
prefer
not
to see
it
done.

Dear Sir :
In the
‘'St. Thomas
Mail Notes”’
of
the
27th
inst.
we
read
that
a
new
Serial
entitled
‘‘The Gray
Ghost’’
has
been
received
in St.
Thomas.
Six reels
of
this
Serial
without
any comic
were
shown
on Tuesday night,
27th
inst.
and
6 more
will be shown
tonight (29th).
Ac-
cording to the paper
6 reels
of this Serial
wili be exhibited each night
without any
comics.
This is excellent and
would
be
very welcome over here also.
g
In this great
Serial '‘The Gray Ghost”
will be found two characters
well known
to lovers of the movies.
The
first is our
hero Eddie Pslo
or “‘Cody’’of ‘‘The Lure
Os
The Circus’’ and
'‘The
Bull’s Eye,”
and last but
not least
‘‘Red
Warren’’
of
|
“The Voice Cn
The
Wire.””
We
would
i
be
glad
to
see
these
old
stars
of
the
screen
again.
Will
our
enterprising
|
manager
of
the
Christiansted
Theatre
|
get
this
Serial
here,
and
give
us
the
|
pleasure
of seeing
12 reels every
week
as
i
in St. Thomas
?
We hop 2 so.

Dear Sir,
:
|
In today’s-issuefjof
your paper
appearsa lengthy
letter
from
the
pen
t
of 8. OB.
)
We
are
dealing with
prohibition
vs.
anti-prohibition, not'with
the
demolition
or rebuilding
of
the
Anglican
Church.
Surely ‘‘H. C.
B.”’ has strayed
from
the
point at issue.
'
What
is
required
are
views
for
or
against
prohibition,
not personal
attacks
against
the Church (g‘its Rector.
"
[
doubt
very
much
whether
"H.
C.
B.”’” has even contributed
a
farthing
to-
ward
the
improvements
of
the
Angli-
can
Church,
and why
<bould
he
worry
over it.
- Evidently t‘-é‘e high cost of
but-
}
ter is troubling
‘“‘H. C. B.”
'
Stick to the point at issue
"‘H. C.
B.”’
or keep quiet,

Mr. Lloyd George
said
that
the
Soviet
had also suggested
that
representatives
of the leading
powers
attend
the
confer-
ence.
The
Premier
added that
Great
Britain
was
confering
with
her
allies
on
the
subject.
The
Premier
replying
to questions
concerning Rassia,
said:—‘]
am very hopeful
of
peace,
and
that
is
wvhat
the
world
anticipates.”’
He' also
stated
the since
the
Russian
Govt
had
agreed
to
the
Polish
armistice,
Great
Britain had withdrawn
her
objection
to
the Soviet delegation
proceeding
to Lon-

The

will begin

A wireless
message
from
Moscow
today asks
the
Polish
Peace
Plenipoten-
tiaries
to
cross
the
lines
along
the
Ba-
ranavitch-Brest-Litovsk
highway
on
Ju-
ly 30th.
where
they
will
be
met.
The
message
however
does
not fix the
exact
location
of
the
armistice
meeting.
The
Bolsheviki troops
have
occupied
a
num-
ber of villages
on
the right bank
of
the
river
Zoruez,
according
to
gz
commu-
nigue issued
at
Moscow
yesterday,
and
received here today’’.
Iy the
Volotchisk
region
our troops forded the river Zbrucz
northward
of
Volotchisk.
During
the
fighting
we occupied
a
number
of
vil-
lages
on
the
right
bank
of
the
river.
In the
direction
of
Grodno
our
