the time that the American secretary OF

The position of General Alvarado Obre-

Carranza appears indefinite, although II
is understood that Obregon is still loyal
to Carranza and may oppose the men

made by Villa recently that he would re-
tire if Carranza were overthrown was
made by him long ago also, before the

action of the administration had com

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"The Blue Paradise" is an Ideal Operetta
AT Barre Opera House Tonight

Holding the record for long runs for the

comes to the opera house tonight I'M
der the direction of Messrs. Shubert Pro-
duced in July, 1915, "The Blue Paradise
ran in New York the entire season, being
heard by over million people.
The success of the play is due to a
combination of happy features. The
score, while light, is ideal and the story,
so unlike the average comic opera book,
has every element necessary to popu
larity. There is love story which in
PRODUCES tinge of sadness, but this is
most cleverly overcome. No story, how
ever, would be complete without comedy
and this is found both in lines and stu
atoms. In fact, the ideal operetta is the
manner in which to describe the play
which has found its way into millions
Of homes by way of the monograph and
printed score. "Auf Wierdersehn," the
song in "The Blue Paradise which fur
nishes the motif has sold over three

BRITISH IN FAVOR
OF A LEAGUE TO
ENFORCE PEACE
Viscount Grey Approves American Move
ment, But 1t Must Be Sup
ported BY Public.

London, Oct. 24.--In the course OF an
important speech at luncheon given by
the Foreign Press association yesterday
Viscount Grey, British secretary for for.
eign affairs, expressed approval OF Amer
lean movements for a league after the
war TO maintain peace, He declared,
however, that the nations which went
into such league must have public
sentiment prepared if necessary, when
a critical time came, to uphold their de-
cision by force.
The foreign secretary referred to Ger
man utterances regarding peace and the
claim that Germany must have guaran-
tees for her future protection and added:
Precisely because this war was forced
by Germany upon the world ii is the
allies who must have guarantees"
Viscount Grey was asked what a neu-
trail should do for civilization at the
present time He replied;
"The best thing neutrals can do will be
TO work up sentiment for mutual agree.
ment to prevent such wars for the flu
ture. Had there been an international
conference of all nations in 1914 il would
have prevented this war, as they would
have demanded that Belgian neutrality
be respected. This is work for neutral
upon which we would look with
favor and approval.

INTERESTING STUDY.
OF Geologic Conditions in Colorado Ter
ritory.

recent addition TO the great geologic
map of the United States which the
United States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior is constructing is
the folio of the castle rock quadrangle OF
Colorado, between Denver and Colorado
Springs, by G. B. Richardson. In addi-
ton to a contour map in three colors,
depicting the towns, roads, and houses
in black, the streams and reservoirs in
blue, and the exact shape and height of
each hill in brown. the folio contains a
geologic map showing the surface ex-
posures of the several formations in diff
ferent colors corresponding to the con
ventional scheme long since adopted by
the geological survey for rocks of differ
ent sections across the quadrangle show
ing the relations of the several geologic
units in vertical view and twenty half
tone illustrations showing characteristic
views in the area, further describe the
nature of the country The text de-
scribes the geography and the various
formations of the region, together with
their relations to the broader features
of the Great Plains, ad iscent on the east,
and the Rocky mountains, on the west.
As result of this work several inter
esting details have been added to our
knowledge of the geologic history of
the region bordering the Front range.
OF additional interest to those who
care to understand nat%re's topographic
features, is the discovery of a series
of profound faults or dislocations of the
strata which must have been accompa-
MED by mighty earthquakes, at the foot
of the steep escarpment of ancient pre-
Cambrian rocks. II is largely by rea-
son of these displacements that the
Rocky mountains rise so impressively
above the vast misunderstanding
plains.
For those who find pleasure in delv-
ing into the past there is opened a wide
realm for the imagination in the complex
story of the vicissitudes of the area
