PLAZA

"Clubmates'' headed the Plaza

rather critical first night audience.
"Clubmates' is a singing quartet, boys

had the ladies' club-now the male
club. Which is the better? We've
seen both and it is hard for us to de-
eide, shut trying to forget for the mo-
mcnt sex favorism, We heartily ap-
prove of "Clwbmates," for it is made
up of a jolly and sweet-voiced
bunch of good fellows who get to-
Eether and make things merry in this
novel offering.

clivities; and Werner and Astor a

cen though she is a commander-in-
chief of the notorious dive of La Mesa
which has come to be known as THE
DEVILS Kitchen" Not only that but
she lays down her guns and falls plum
in love; quits the whole shooting
match and goes back to the home OF
her dreams, Such a picture not only
thrills for the time being with its
more OF less sensational tendencies,
but there's something about it that

MODERN PEACE
NEGOTIATION is
OF 4 NEW TYPE

Washington Feb. 12-Actual peace
negotiations of a new type and on a
far greater scale than heretofore
known are seen by old school diplo-
mats in the recent series of addresses
of spokesman of the warning nations
outlining terms.
Although President Wilson's latest
address to Congress is regarded as a
clear reiteration of Americas deter
mination to continue to fight until
the military masters of Germany are
ready to consider peace on the prin-
ciples of justice it was pointed out
that negotiations on a vast scale
really are going on.
These "eXtra- official negotiations, F."
as they are called by diplomats, de-
part radically from the ancient and
accepted prctices of diplomacy. In
stead of being conducted in the Sc
crecy of round table conference,
which was the aim of the Central
powers in the early stages of the war,
the great issues are now expounded
and critically anaylzed in the light of
publicity and the worlds forum.
The President addressed Congress
to clear up any confusion resulting
from the recent speeches on peacd
terms by Count Won Hertling, the
German chancellor, and Count Ger
min, the Austrian premier. In the
address of Count Won Hertling the
President found no approach to peace,
but only a proposal to end the war
on German terms. The Austrian pre-
mier, however, the President said.
seemed to see the fundamental aele-
ments of peace, with clear vision and
probably would have gone farther
had it not been for Austria's de-
OendeDce on GERMANY
