Charges by the republicans that in
so doing, political advantage was
sought with view to avoiding an
extra session of the next congress,
in which republicans will have ma
jority were met by assertions from
the democrats that republicans de-
sired to force an extra session.
A suggestion by Senator Borah Of
Idaho, republican, that there was
some mystery" about changed at
titude of republicans on the bill
caused evident surprise among both
factions. After the finance commit
tee had adopted the 1920 plan, Sem
ator Borah said republican leaders
threatened to filibuster and prevent
the bills passage. Soon after, he
added, they suddenly changed
front" and proposed prompt enact

Senator Pcnrose replied that he
thought many republicans were dis
posed to defeat the bill, but finally
agreed that as the government
needed the money its prompt pass
age was desirable.

always thought that the chief object
\ OF education was to awaken the
spirit and that. inasmuch as lit
eratdre whenever it has touched its
great and higher notes was an ex-
preston of the spirit of mankind,
the best induction into education
was to feel the pulses of humanity
which had beaten from age to age
through the universities of men who
had penetrated to the secrets of
the human spirit.
War Between Systems. \
sand | agree with the intimation
which has been conferred today
that the terrible war through which
we have just passed has not been
only war between nations. but
that it has also been war between
systems of culture-the one system,
the aggressive system, using science
without conscience. stripping learn
ing of its moral restraints and using
every faculty of the human mind to
do wrong to the whole race: the
other system reminiscent of the
high tradition OF men, reminiscent
Of all their struggles, some of them
obscure, but others closely re-
vealed to history, of men of in
domitable spirit everywhere strug-
Cling towards the right and seeking
above all things else to be free.
"The triumph of freedom in this
war means that that spirit shall
now dominate the world. There is
a great wave of moral force NOV
ing through the world. and every
man who opposes himself to that
wave will go down in disgrace.
Conference Task Simpli6ed.
"The task of those who are gath
cred here, or will presently be gath
cred here to make the settlements
of this peace, is greatly sinplifed by
the fact that they are the masters
of no one; they are the servants of
mankind. And if we do not heed
the mandates OF mankind we shall
make ourselves the, most conspicu-
Que and deserved failures in the his
tory of the world.
"My conception of the league of
nations is just this--that it shall
operate a. the organized moral force
Of men throughout the world and
that whenever or wherever wrong
and aggression are planned or con-
templated this searching light of
conscience will be turned upon
them. and men everywhere will ask:
What are the purposes that you
hold in your heart against the for
tunes of the world?'
"Just little exposure will settle
most questions. If the central pow
ers had dared to discuss the pur-
poses of this war for single fort
night. it, never would have hap
pened. And If, as should Re, they
were forced to discuss it for year,
the war would have been inconceiv-
able.

been said more than once today, in
timately related with the university
spirit. The university spirit is in
tolerant of all the things that put
the human mind under restraint. 1t
is intolerant OF everything that
seek to retard the advancement of
ideals, the acceptance of the truth,
the publication of life. And every
university man can ally himself
with the forces of the present time
with the feeling that now at last the
spirit of truth, the spirit to which
universities have devoted them
selves, has prevailed and is tri-
umphant.
IF there is one point of pride
that | venture to entertain, it is
that it has been my private privilege
in some measure to interpret the
university spirit in the public life
OF great nation. and | feel that in
honorih me today in this unusual
and conspicuous manner you have
first of all honored the people whom
| represent. The spirit that l try
to express | know to be their spirit,
and in proportion as | serve them I
believed that | advance the cause Of
freedom.
Il wish to thank you, sir, from the
bottom of my heart for distinction
which has in singular way crowned
my academic career"
Tribute Paid to Amarica.
In presenting to President Wilson
the insignia and diploma of doctor
in the name of the University of
Paris Vice Rector Lucien Poincare
said:
History will recout how. taking
inspiration from the American peo-
pie and your own thoughts, you
reached one glorious day the de-
cision which is one Of the greatest
events recorded in the war and in
your own words, placed the blood
and all the power of America at
the service of the principles which
have given her life. History will
also tell how you have sought to
realize the imperishable supremacy
of right by means of an association
of peoples which should liberate the
world"
M. Poincare paid honor to Amer
lean university professors for the
unfailing sympathy they have shown
for France and also to the American
students who in such great num-
bers came to fight beside their
French student comrades.
MANY, alas M. Poincare con-
tinued, will not return to their
beloved country, for they have fall
len in France, where we trust they
felt they were not on foreign soil
and where they have left to the
youth oftthe two republics an i'm
mortal example of fraternal union.
Glory to these American students.
Glory to the eminent professors
of their universities. and glory to
you, Mr.. President the first among
them all"

Congressman Blackmon and Aviation Board Are
 in Selma to Inspect Sites

Selma. February 1s-(Special.)- )-Con- gressman Fred l.. Blackmon reached the city Monday morning from Birmingham, having come down from Washington to meet with the aviation board which was scheduled to arrive at the same time. A delay deferred their arrival to Monday night, when Major Holden and three army officers, two of them ex- pert flyers, arrived to pass on the claims put forth by Selma as site for proposed aviation camp. This is the second inspection ordered by Washing ton some days ago, the first proving unsatisfactory or incomplete.
 Mir Blackmon is making hurried trip south having left his duties at the cap. ital to be present at the meeting, which is to decide Selina's fate as far as the camp is concerned. He will return to Washington as soon as the business ot the board is completed.
 In an interview this morning Mir. Blackmon characterized Washington as a 'city of congestion" This condition extends to every department of the gov ernment, and to the Senate and House as well, resulting from the terrific our den of work engendered by the war. The thousands of clerks and others called to the capital by the stress of the times have proved stupendous problem to the city, in the matter of adequate housing, and the government has been forced to step in and arrange for the building of barracks and homes to ac commodate them.
 As 10 impending legislation, Mir. Blackmon made no statement, beyond touching lightly on the seriousness O: the prcesnt labor crisis.

"poIIvanna." the Glad Play

"Pollyanna" comedy by Catherine Chisholm Cushing, based upon Eleanor H. Porter's tremendously popular glad books will be presented by Kiaw & Erlanger and George c. Tyler at the Jefferson theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday, matinee Saturday.
 Over 500.000 copies of the Polly anna" books have been sold, and as publishers estimate that every book reaches 10 people, a grand total of something like 5,0oO.000 readers, all around the globe. is the result. Of course it inevitably followed that the glad girl and those whom she taught to play the game. must be visualized on the stage. Mrs. Cushing, who has written popular comedies for May IT. win, Henrietta Crossman and Billie Burke, is credited with having very skilfully preserved the amusing and sentimental incidents, and cheery ops timistic spirit of the stories. There is shown the evolution of Pollyanna from her checked gingham stage into ra- diant, highly cultivated maid of IT in chiffon. Familiar figures of Mrs. Por- ter's fiction are visualized in the coYn- edy by players of distinguished past performance.
 Helen Hayes will play the title role and will be supported by George Ali son, John Webster, Fanchon Campb ell, Agnes Gildea, Adrian Morgan. Master Donald McLelland and others.
 The comedy, like the stories upon which it is based, reflects exub erant optimism at an opportune time when playgoers are in no mood for morbid ity or .salacousness in the theatre. The appeal is to youth and old age, to the tired business man and to all woman kind.

At fhe Lyric

Those who enjoy high-class enter

 highly entertained by the programme at
 the Lyric, which proved highly delight
 full to capacity audiences Monday even-
 ing. The Maryland Singers present an
 act that is enjoyable from beginning to
 girls with excellent voices and a fea-
 ture of the act is the banjo playing
 of Chester Chandler. The rendition of
 old southern melodies. songs of the
 sixties, proves a most pleasing diversion,
 and the audience applauded and clam ored for more. Trix Oliver and Helen
 Rineheart sopranos, and Maggie Allen
 and Etrel Wharton, contraltos, possess excellent voices and the ensemble work, as we'll as the solos, were beautiful and well rendered. Listening to the Mock ing Bird, by Miss Rinehart; "old Ken lucky Home" by Miss Oliver; "Old
 Black Joe,'' by Miss Wharton; "The Gospel Train" by Miss Allen, and For
 You Alone,'' by Mir. Chandler were the song hits of the piece This act is lavish ly and appropriately staged and the girls wear costumes of the sixties. Another
 good entertainer on the bill is Lou Holtz. This young man is called Father Joy's s Boy" He is funny and keeps the audi ence in good humor. He sings some songs and is clever comedian. The
 Bobby Heath Revue is pleasing vehicle
 of song, comedy and girls, and proved
 very pleasing. The sensational act of
 the bill is furnished by Clairmon Broth CTS on the revolving ladder. They are acrobats and perform some wonderful
 feats on revolving ladder. Some com edy is interspersed in the act and the
 number is received with much applause and appreciation. Archer and Ward are a pleasing dance and comedy couple, and are very clever. They entertain with songs and dances. but the hit of the piece is tho Bowery number which closes the act. The Mutual news pictures are in- teresting. Among the big features seen is the Tuscania leaving New York. The bill is we'll balanced and all the acts are pleasing.
