speaks for the Asquitt following
largely.
Great Brtain's position may be
largely determined by the results Of
the election. Grey's position, Judging
from comment here, apparently meets
President Wilson's viewpoint as to
representation in the League Of Ma
tons.
The proposal to give each nation,
large or small, an equal vote is re-
garded here as being out Of the ques-
ton, and President Wilson is not ex-
pected to contend for this. He. 1t is
indicated, realizes that this would per-
nit combinations to be formed which
would be intolerable.
President Wilson will be informed
by Col. House and others that the
nass OF the people in Europe are un-
mistakably in favor of a league of
nations as affording the only security
against future wars. which condition
Is being counted upon.
Germany will not be invited to par
ticlpate in the discussions or to enter
any league OF nations until its for
nation is virtually an accomplished
fact. Economic isolation will be the
penalty imposed on her should she
refuse TO enter such a compact.

Paris. Dec. 14.-President Wilson
addressed Socialist delegation which
called on him to-day. The President
said:
"GENTIKMEN: I received with great
interest the address you have just

we have Just passed has illustrated in
a way which never can be forgotten
the extraordinary wrongs which can
be perpetrated by arbitrary and ire
sponsible power.

the repetition Of such wrongs is rem

PIs1s, Dec. 1.-THE pact for a league
a, nations win be incorporated into the
peace treaty itself and not be made a
separate convention, IL the views Of
President Wilson prevail.
The President does not favor the idea
OF the principles of the formation of
the league being worked out sep
arately.
An neutral nations will be- repre-
sented here, It is assured, during the
peace conferences. and they are pre-
pared to consider all subjects affecting
their interests as we'll as to signify
their adherence to those approved by
their Governments.
President Wilson will not be able to
remain for the actual peace sessions,
hut will give a clear Interpretation of
his views to the representatives OF the
Entente Powers and then leave for the
United States. There is reason to be-
l.eve however, that 1t will be deter
mined at these conferences whether or
not an agreement can be reached on
most OF the controversial points which
have arisen.
Conference VIII he Delayed.
II can be stated definitely that Presi-
dent Wilson's conferences with the al
Led Premiers to determine the broad
outlines Of the peace treaty will not
take place before January /.

all thoughtful and liberal men.
Il am confident this is the thought
Of those who lead your own great ma -
ton and | am looking forward with
peculiar pleasure to cooperating with
them in securing guarantees Of lasting
peace of Justice and right dealing
which shall justify the sacrifices of
this war and cause men to look back

PRESIDENT, who Is DESTROYS Of beginning
the conferences Immediately, but Col
House was not able to make other ar
engagements because of the social Gov
eminent formalities which bulk so i'm
portant in European eyes. Included
In these formalities Is the approaching
Visit Of the Kings of Italy. Serbia and
the Hellenes, which will further post
pone the beginning Of the real bust
ness OF the peace table.
Col. House still believes that the
President can carry out his plan of
returning to the United States by the
middle of January. 1t has been
agreed that four important confer
ences are to be held at the Murat
home as a compliment to the Presi-
dent, and these will expedite matters.
There is we'll defined belief that
1t will be possible to determine at
these few conferences whether in
superable difficulties exist in the way
Of reaching an agreement on Presi-
dent Wilson's principles.
Wilson'S views Before Them.
In this connection II can be stated
that before accepting these principles
with only two reservations as part of
the armistice terms the Allies had
President Wilson's Interpretation OF
each one OF them laid before them by
Col. House. This Is contrary to the
impression prevalent in some quarters
that the allied statesmen were without
comprehensive Information as to the
Presidents meaning OF most Of the
terms.
1t can be stated with authority that
the two questions which from the
American viewpoint present the great
est difficulties in the way Of reaching
an agreement are the reframlng OF
the sea rules. both for war and peace
and the voting power in the league OF
nations.

ginning Of the present pourparlers dis

This record, made under an exclusive and more
scientific system, produces astonishing musical re-
suits Instead of the slightly metallic effects hitherto
characteristic of phonograph performances, 1t pro-
duceS clear, rich tones of great depth and beauty,
which are marveously similar to the natural tones
of different instruments and voices.

AEOLIAN-VOCALION
Playing the New Vocation Record?

OUCH music has never come from photograph
- before. 1t has never been considered possible
to attain such richness and decacy-such reality of
tone in instruments of this type
Designed originally as Talking Machine the
phonograph had been brought to a high state of
development, mechanically, before the advent of
the Aeolian-Vocali four years ago.
With the introduction of the Vocation, however,
the public made acquainted with new and
superior type of phonograph-a photograph which
not only mechanically in advance of other
instruments, but which, unsteady, was SO far ahead
of anything hitherto known to be in a class

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The whims

The bureaus announcement said that
aside from the large amount of plati-
mum in the form of manufactured jew
elry, there is less than 25 per cent Of
the normal stock of manufactured
platinum in the country available for
war needs.
AS this metal is necessary in the
production of nitric and sulphuric
acids. in the manufacture of nitrates
from the air, and for gun mechanisms.

facts for telephone and telegraph in

Consequently they ask the public not
to purchase any platinum iewelry either

New Picture Palace
Opened to Public
Theatre Scores a
Great Hit With "The Un-
chastened Woman"

The new Symphony Theatre, nt
Broadway and 95th Street, opened its
doors to tho public last night, after
being Informally presented to an in
vited gathering Friday evening.
The new theatre used, not so long
ago. to be a market, owned by Vincent
Astor, and later it was a skating rink.
This accounts for it's peculiar con-
struction, which is quite unlike any
of the contemporaneous movie palaces.
The Symphony Theatre Is we'll named.
Both in the construction and in the
decorations it is a Wolk Of art.
There are no balconies. but the floor
| space is enormous and the seats are
slightly elevated. Also they are ar
ranged in groups of two. three, four,
five and six, which will eliminate the
crowding in and out Of many persons
during the performance. All around
the theatre is q mezzanine divided up
Of these in the back Of the house.
They arc fitted with willow easy
chairs made famous by Samuel
Rothapfel when he built his new
Rivoli. The ceiling is low and raft
cred and the color decorations are
coral and brown and yellow and pale
green.
1t is a very lovely and very restful
theatre and rivals in its completeness
the big downtown motion picture pal
aces. 1t is owned by Aubrey M. Ken
nedy.
The programme opens with a patri-
otic tableau showing. the rape of
battlefront in France. This is done
in the style made popular by Coney
Island at the time Of the Johnstown
flood. 1t is not particularly thrilling,
but what follows is much better. 1t
Is a group of exceedingly comely
young women dressed IN the flags of

tine is quite too marvellous in this
role. She seems to possess everything
that no one knew she had before,
height, dignity and force, also fiend-
ish disposition. While admirng her
splendid art one longs to kill her for
being what she is.
The subject was difficult one to
handle, being concerned chiefly with
the psychology Of the unchastened
woman, but it makes a remarkably in
teresting photoplay. Victor Suther-
land is the architect whom the un-
chastened woman claims as her own
on sight. Mildred Manning is the Gus
tom house lady who is accused by
the woman of being her husbands
mistress and later indicated. Frank

does some of the best work of his
career: The whole cast is extremely

Russians Thank Wilson
N. Y. Organization Pleads for
American Intervention

Resolutions were adopted last night
at the Russian Political Club, 80 River
side Drive, expressing gratitude to
President Wilson for withholding rec
ognition from the Bolsheviki, and en-
phatically urging Immediate military
force"
In support Of the appeal for armed
intervention, it was pointed out that
the Brest-Litovsk treaty, which released
new battalions against the Americans
and Allies on the West. was ratified by
the Bolsheviki, and that the Bolsheviki
were neither political party nor rep.
resentative of Russia, being composed
largely of sinister demagogues, out
casts of the monarchical regime and
criminal elements of the present chaos
1t also was pointed out that Germany
was utilizing the present wait-and-see
policy to mould Russia to its own ends
