NEGOTIATIONS ON
 STACKER PROBLEM
 BETWEEN ALLIES ON
When Congress Convenes Next Monday Secretary Lansing Will Submit
 Number of Treaties

Washington, November 26,-Negoti- ations between the United States and the allies on the alien stacker prob lem have progressed to such a stage that when Congress reconvenes next Monday Secretary Lansing will be pre- pared to submit a number of treaties authorizing the reciprocal drafting for military service of the citizens or sub sectg of one country resident within the other country.
 Approval of such treaties by the Senate has been foreshadowed by general demand in Congress for ac- ton to reach aliens in this country of draft age. Several measures had been launched in the Senate and House requiring the drafting of such per sons, but at the suggestion of the state department and upon its prom ise to accomplish the purpose by the regular method of treaty stipulation thar legislation was postponed
 In the meantime a great many for eigners resident in the United States have hastened to file their declarations of intention to become American cit- izens. in many instances with the ex- press pcrpose of escaping military service under their own flags in the event of roundup of aliens in the United States by British, French and Italian recruiting officers By filing these first papers" the declarant rem ders himself liable to draft into the American army. There is only one chance in four of his being actually drafted as an American, however, even after a registration.
 The British-American military serv- ice treaty will be framed as a model for those between the United States and other entente countries,~ though there will be some minor differences because of varying laws fixing e1igi- bility for military service. Because of the difference in the standards regard ing age of eligibles, 21 to 31 in the case of Americans and IS to Al in the case of British subjects, some diff culty has been found in reaching an Is probable that this will be adjusted by a mutual acceptance of the laws of both countries as applied to their own citizens and subjects, so that all British subjects between the ages of IS and 41 found in America after the ratification of the new treaty will be subject to draft into the British army.

 There are two approximations on the programme, The Betting Bettys and Cabaret Deluxe The Betting Bettys of fer a most appealing programme of music, singing and dancing and the act is a Keith top-notcher. The scenes and action effervesce with the race track atmos- phere and a racy, pacy musical comedy is presented. Percy Chapman and Johnny Morris are featured and they are espe- cially clever. However. much credit for the entertainment must be given to the girl members of the company They are pretty and they are clever.

Dickin- son is. a clever comedian and in Oracle Deagon has a capable partner. she be- ing especially clever as the unsophisti- cated little girl. To Dickinson and Dea- gon goes the credit of furnishing a big part of the entertainment
 Eddie Weber and Marion Ridnor, known as the youthful prodigists, prove themselves capable dancers and singers and the act proved very pleasing.

The jury is expected to be selected from them ami from 1S of the regular panel to decide whether or not Means shot and killed Mrs. ,Maude A. King. To- night state and defense were concen- trating their attention on the list of veniremen and 1t was expected one or more days would be given over to sc iecting the jury.
 After court opened today three hours were taken up with formalities of drawing of 150 names from the jury list. Under North Carolina law the names must be drawn by a child un- able to read.
