them, she gives O most compelling
performance. Nerves are kept taut
throughout the entire five acts into
which the picture is divided and
there Is every element needed to
keep the interest OF the audience
keyed to the proper pitch.
Though the story told on the
screen would be quite enough, the
producers have spared nothing to
make THE Iron Woman" scenic
wonder-piece just as It is a tremen-
dous artistic success from the histri-
onic viewpoint. Miss O'Neil is sur
rounded by an exceptionally clever
cast and the scenic effects rival any
thing that has heretofore been pre-
scented.
Wednesday and Thursday the Co
lonial will present Edna Mayo and
Eugene O'Brien in The Return OF
Eve" in which Edward Arnold and
Leona Ball have prominent parts.
The picture was directed by Arthur

Commission Finds Some Adjust

Regardless Of Diplomatic Settlem

The conference called by the Ameri-
can Union Against Militarism to find a
solution of difriculties between the
United States and Mexico entered upon
it's second session this morning at the
New Willard Hotel behind closed doors.
Prior to going into session DR.. David
Starr Jordan, chancellor of Leland
Stanford University and a member OF
the conference committee. announced
that owing to unavoidable circum :
stances Amos Pinchot of New York has
found himself unable to attend and
that his place on the committee is be-
ing filled by Paul U. Kellogg, editor of
the Survey, New York.
The general tone of Carranzas note
relieves conditions a good deal and en-
ables US to take longer view OF the
situation than we otherwise could.

went into conference.
Admission that he played a part in
unofficially bringing pressure to bear
upon Carranza to make a temperate
reply to the last Lansing note to his
from Lincoln Steffens, who is in Wash
ington advising with those who are
eager to see the Mexican crisis averted.
Mr.. Steffens stated that he and other
prominent men in this country have,
since complications first arose with
Mexico. sought to bring about a better
understanding between Carranza and
the government of the United States,
so that there might be no war as re-
suit of misunderstanding and misinfor-
nation"
"When President Wilson," he ex-
planned. seemed to question the good
faith of Carranza, we bent every effort
to persuade him that the first chief did
not desire war. and when the situation
became reversed we made strong rep
reservations to the Mexican govern
ment, endeavoring to show what Pres
ident Wilson's real feelings and inten-
ttons were" He seemed much pleased
with the published reports of the Car
rama note.

Scenes in sharp contract to those of a
week ago. when the Carrizal prisoners
were brought from Chihuahua city and
turned over to Gen. George Bell, jr,

dead. In Juarez the event was scarcely
noticed, while in Ell Paso only a few
hundred persons. quiet and subdued, re-
placed the cheering throng that greeted
the twenty-three troopers of the 10th.
Gen. Bell did not expect that the
bodies would be delivered so early in
the morning, and as a result the 9Th

Fort Bliss to act as an escort. was not
on hand An impromptu guard was
formed, however. from soldiers of the
