Advocate of Peace.

In the advocacy OF International peace
he surpassed all previous presidents. He
assembled the representatives of France,
Germany and England and submitted to
them treaty which would practically
obviate war between the four nations
party to the agreement, This measure
had the enthusiastic approval Of such
men as Carnegie and Rockefeller and was
heralded as the greatest stop toward the
deletlon OF war ever taken by the head
OF modern government. The bills
passed the house by largo majority,
both Democrats and Republicans Joining
hands In singing their encomiums and
passing them along to tho senate
Ihey were killed In tho upper body
largely through adverse sentiments set
afoot by those who claimed that ma
tional degeneration would follow the sub
mlssal OF such international disputes as
they provided for to court Of arbitra-
ton.
The railroad rate bill, passed during
Tafts administration, is regarded by
many as the most effective measure look

In FOR factional criticism.
When the supreme court OF the United
States rendered the Standard OH and

Actress Says She Hasn't "Her
Perspective Adjusted" Mary
Garden Answers Query.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Can art and
matrimony dwell tremendously in the
heart of the woman of the stage?
This question has been revived by
the recent marriages of Nine. ALA Naz-
mova and Blanche Bates, two of the
best known actresses on the American
stage. The question was put to Nazi
nova at the Empire theater The fla
nous Russian actress, who married
Charles f. Bryant, her leading maa,
Thursday, answered frankly, but, new
ertheless, enigmatically
81 am unable to weigh the question
now. AS yet my perspective is not
properly adjusted. Perhaps later l can
lreply. But now-nothing.'
Views of Mr.. Belasco.
ASK Belasco," was advised. you
remember, he and Leslie Carter parted
company because of her marriage to
William Louis Payne. And he and
Miss Bates have parted company-for
this season at least
The producer unfortunately was in
accessible, but there was an inkling OF
his opinion in the announcement he
made last week to the effect that his
contract with Miss Blanche Bates had
been cancelled "by mutual consent"
Can the woman who is a genius be
| welded to anything but art?
Mary Garden is firm in the conviction
that a woman can not marry without
sacrificing her art. In recent inter-
view Miss Garden said:
81 believe marriage is simply a hu-
man contract to maintain the family;
its function is to reproduce its own
kind and any woman who marries
should marry with that knowledge, ana
should sacrifice other things to that
duty.
IAN artist, for that very reason,
should not marry for no woman can be
a great artist and a great mother. What
she puts into motherhood is taken out
Of her art. What she puts into art is
taken away from maternity. She
should give up either her career or do
nestle happiness-and children"
The Case of Mrs. Carter.
The ease of Leslie Carter" is all
ways held up as horrible example of
what marriage will do to wreck an
artistic career After breaking the
bonds of matrimony once and devoting
herself to art Mrs. Carter became the
most famous actress in the country.
Six years ago in two automobiles a
select little company, together with
Mrs. Carter her chum, Miss Norma
Munro. and her son. Dudley Carter took
a trip through New England William
Louis Payne. an actor of modest ca
pacities was assigned to seat in Mrs.
Carriers car. The upshot of it was that
the two were secretly married in Ports
mouth, n. II.
Dudley Carter bluntly announced the
news. It reached her manager, Mr.
Belasco, in New York Mr.. Belasco had
heart heart talk with his star over
the telephone, and it ended in dissolv-
ing their partnership She has not ap-
peared under his management since
But Mrs Carter said two years ago
four years after the MARRIAGE:
Il know l am still to do the greatest
work Of my life"

NAP LAJOIE MUST
PLAY FOR DECREASE

Chicago. Dec. 27.-For the first time
since he became major league base
ball player. nearly seventeen years
ago. Napoleon Lajoie will be asked
to accept a cut in his salary for 1913
Lajoie 1t is said. has been drawing at
least $4,000 a year from the Cleve-
land American league club. but his new
contract will call for not more than
$500. maybe less. so the story goes.
It seems that while Lajoie kept up
his wonderful batting last season. he
slowed up in his fielding, so that Man
ager Birmingham thinks that in future
second base should be covered by a
faster man. possibly Olson. the big
Swede. Lajoie may be moved over to
first base if Johnston. the youngster
secured from the Southern league last
summer, fails to come up to expecta-
tons.
Then, again. Lajoie may be sent to
the outfield if Johnston keeps on hit
ting the way he did when he finished
last season in Cleveland uniform.
Lajoie has earned 100000 in his base
ball career. He is 80 years old
