GERMAN REPLY TO ALLIED NOTE Protests That Nation Has Really Disarmed and ASKS EVACUATION OF COLOGNE Paris, Jan. 27-Germany's reply to the recent note of the allied ambassadors, which was handed to Lord D'Abernon, the British ambassador, by Foreing Minister Stresemann in Berlin. again protests against the refusal of the allies to da give immediately a bill of particulars on Germany's alleged violation of the disarmament clauses in the Treaty of Versailles. It also reasserts that Germany has really disarmed and is fully entitled to the evacuation of the Cologne area. The Berlin communication reviews the note of the council of ambassadors, which was handed to Chancellor Luther yesterday and which declined to examine the question of the nonevacuation with Germany or to go into further details regarding the reasons for maintaining the allied forces in the Cologne zone.
The German says that the allies have given "merely a formal reply which no sense advances an affair of such grave significance to Germany and European reconciliation." The Stresemann communication continues: "The allied governments continue to keep the German government, as well as public opinion, in ignorance of the material facts on which they seek to base the decisions they took several weeks The German people again find themselves accused of not having executed the treaty without being given the possibility of defending themselves against these accusations. The allied governments draw from a unilateral judgment of facts the gravest consequences and, in their last note, refuse in the most formal manner even to examine the affair jointly with the German goyernment." The note adds that Germany cannot understand why she is reproached with misunderstanding articles 428 and 429 of the Versailles Treaty. In this connection it states: "She has not contested and does not contest that these articles make the evacuation of the northern zone of the Rhineland on January 10, 1925, depend upon certain conditions. Her affirmation bears only on the point that these preliminary conditions have been executed. The fact of Germany's disarmament is too evident for the allied governments to justify (of the evacuation clauses) by the present state of non German disarmament." Foreign Missions Conference Washington, Jan.

Washington St. AMUsem*nTS At the Savoy No Harold Lloyd picture would be complete without a thrill of one or another. And "Hot Water" which is now being shown at the Savoy Theatre is no exception to this rule. Although a story of domestic life, "Hot Water" contains several incldents destined to send a chill through the most blase audience, as well as to arouse the loudest laughs heard in theatre since the side-splitting chase episodes in "Girl Shy." In one sequence of the picture, Lloyd takes his wife and her family out for a ride in his new Butterfly Six, and what happens to that machine is caution to behold. Everything that possibly could happen to it did, then some.
many big laughing factions Into This episode is only, one of the which "Hot Water" is divided. Jobyna Ralston, Lloyd's beautiful leading woman in "Why Worry" and "Girl Shy," heads the supporting cast. Others in the cast are Josephine Crowell, Charles Stevenson and Mickey McBan. new comedy, "The Hunt." and Savoy News are also being shown. A special musical program is being given by the Savoy orchestra with organ accompaniment.
A special added attraction is a Pathe production showing the Death an invention by H. Grindell Matthew. means of this machine lives can be snuffed in an instant, the inventor claims. He himself bears some terrible scars his dangerous research work during years he was perfecting this new infernal machine. "Abie's Irish Rose" at the Irving Anne Nichols' appealing comedy, "Abie's Irish Rose," continues tract big audiences to the Irving Theatre.
It is doubtful if ever there has been presented in the history of theatricals In this city a more appealing comedy, nor one which has brought forth a greater amount of applause, and to miss witnessing the trials and tribulations through which "Abie" and Irish bride pass with their irate fathers, will be to miss one of the real dramatic treats a life time, for it is clean and wholesome fun, and is a credit its universally famous author, who has given to the stage play with an excellent moral without introducing a line or situation that would or could bring a blush to the most unsophisticated. At Poli's The laughable vaudeville show for the opening half of the week at Poll's theatre ends its stay this evening. It includes Joe Freed, assisted by Clara Hendrix, Brad Sutton, Marie Dayne and Milton Roaner, in a series of amusing travesties written by Willam K. Wells, and called, "Town Topics." The same bill also has that delightful pair of chattering funmakers, Ben Ryan Harriet Lee, in one of the most entertaining dialog exchanges that has been heard here in a long time; John Geiger, the man who seemingly is able to make a violin talk; Clinton Sisters, a pair of capable girls in a most likeable demonstration of many kinds of dances; Casting Campbells, the four men, who do sensational gymnastic work in midair with a trimming of comedy also added.

The silent dram is "Chalk Marks." At the Orpheum Admirers of Tom Mix, with the inseparable Tony and the more recent co-star, Duke, the dog, will have the opportunity to see their favorite in a new wonder picture, "Teeth," which is being shown at the Orpheum theatre all this week. In this, his latest vehicle, he appears as Dave Deering, a happy-go-lucky, wandering prospector, a lover of his horse, Tony, and later a dog, Duke, that he finds sorely wounded. From this point the story moves with intensified action, with many realistic scenes, one vivid feature being a real forest fire. It is an ideal vehicle for Mix. "Teeth" was directed by J.
G. Blystone for William Fox and was adapted from 'Sonny," the popular novel by a Virginia Hudson Brightman. An added attraction is an "Our Gang Comedy," with all its little stars in "Buccaneers." At the Gaiety Comedy in its best form is the backbone of the "Merry Makers," the burlesque production at the Galety theatre this week. Harry Stratton, who plays the leading comedy role, is a funster who has the ability of making theatre-goers laugh regardless of how hard they are to please.

The Three White Kuhns are inimitable and to fully appreciate them, one must see and hear them. They are the popular composer of such favorites as "I'll Be With You Whon the Clouds Roll By," and others. In addition to being composers, they are entertainers extraordinary, doing their bit by producing instrumental specialties and songs, with comedy running riot throughout their offering.
