Bryan Peace Treaties

The first of the so-cal1ed Bryan peace treatries, that between the United States and Salvador, was signed three years ago today, Aug. z, 1913. Be- fore the close of that year similar treaties were entered into with Guate- mala, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua and The Netherlands. In 1914 Secre- tary Bryan negotiated treaties with Switzerland, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Italy, Norway, Peru, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and other states, and also with Great Britain, France, Spain and China. Thirty nations now have such treaties with the United States, including Russia as we'll as the other Allied powers, but Germany, Austria and Turkey did not accept the proffer- ed peace pacts. Under the terms of these treaties, the contracting parties agree that all questions of whatever character in dispute between them shall, when diplomatic efforts fail, be submitted for investigation and report to an international commission, the composition of which is to be mutual Iy agreed upon; and the parties agree until such investigation has been made and a report submitted. The parties reserve the right to act independently on the dispute after the report has been made.

Billie Burke 30 Today

It's tellin', but Billie Burke was born thirty years ago this very day in Washington, D. c. The harumscar- um actress with the frizzly hair and the cute ways. who of late has listed to the lure of California gold and con- sented to display her charms and wiles for the delectation of the pa- irons of the fillums, chose as parents a distinguished circus clown and a newspaper woman. Her papa was William E. Burke, but he was known on both sides of the Atlantic as Billie Burke, and he owned trick mule which was said to have been a won- der. The daughter was christened Ethel Bertha, but from her babyhood, when she was "a cute little thing with red hair and a turned up nose," she was known as Billie.
 Miss Burke's early girlhood was spent in Europe, and she was educat- ed in schools in France and London. It was in the English metropolis that she made her public debut at music hall, singing a German ballad and a coon song. She made d big hit with her variety turn in the halls, and one night George Edwards saw her and offered her an engagement in .'The School Girl" She was permitted tc sing song entitled My Little Ca lnoe' and it got over in great style.

Miss Burke awoke the next morning to find herself famous.
 At the age of twenty-one Miss Burke returned to her native America and toured with John Drew in My Wife" Next year she became a full fledged star in "Eove Watches" Her early American tours were a success sion of triumphs. In every city she visited scores and hundreds of young blades fell violently in love with her, and sought vainly to make her ac- quaintance. On her first trip as star to the Pacific coast a number Of wealthy young men, desperately smit- ten with her charms, followed her company from town to town from Los Angeles to Seattle, occupying prominent seats at every performance. Miss Burke succeeded Miss Anna Held as the wife of Florenz Ziegfeld, the New York theatrical producer, several years ago. Prior to that the courts had made Miss Burke a mother,
 when she adopted young girl whose
 mother, friend of Miss Burke's, had died suddenly.
