BUILDING DISCUSSED
District of Columbia Chapter Has
Meeting and Considers Plans.
Membership Campaign.

Plans for the building Of District
lof Columbia chapter house of the
American Red Cross were discussed
yesterday at a meeting Of the or
ganization at 16 Jackson place. A
membership drive also will be started
to bring the District enrolment up to
100000. Miss Mabel Boardman Of the
executive committee spoke on the
needed peace-time work of the or
ganiZation.
The Red Cross represents a volun-
tary service" she said, ''and we must
keep this organization alive. First of
all, we must have a chapter house
of our own and we must give the
chapter our support"
Needs of Service.
Miss Boardman said that the house
should contain perpetual salvage de-
partment, a diet Kitchen, supply de-
partment, clerical, department and a
large auditorium. -
I'm the new house." said Miss Board
man, there should be what 1 would
call sacrifice ROOM Here first
aid, home hygiene aud care of the
sick should be taught. 1t should be
a memorial to the sacrifices and
services of the women of Washington
the WdT.
This room could be used for home
service work for every soldier, sailor
and marine who USED our organiZa-
ton during the war, and who may
have nome problems just as pressing
in peace time. On the walls should
be the names of the women who gave
their lives, as well as those who gave
husband, father or brother. in the
war;
Miss Boardman said she hoped that
the sending Of soldiers presents at
Christmas time would be continued
and spoke of the beneficial effects on
the various commands during the
Spanish and world wars.
Ladies of st. Philomena.
The establishment of a section of
the Red Cross, to be known as the
Ladies of st. Philomena, was asked
for by Miss Boardman. These ladies
would be required to give one hour a
day for eight months of the year.
There are countless cases of mothers
who have to remain up all night with
a sick child and are exhausted the
next day, said Miss Boardman, and
one of these ladies could take her
place in the household: and enable her
to get needed rest.
Two gifts, one Of $500 from the
War Department auxiliary and the
otherR of $500 from the. employees Of
Hayenner's Bakery, were announced

man of the chapter.

Mr.. Longs Statement.

The announcement of the change in
the plans was made by Breckenridge
long, third assistant secretary Of state,
who has charge of the Belgian's tour of
the country.
Because of the Presidents condi-
tion.,,' said the statement by Mr. Long,
''his majesty has seen fit to cancel all
of the engagements planned for him up
to at least the l4th, when he would have
been, and still expects to be, in San
Francisco. The only exceptions relate
to Boston and Buffalo. where he is due
Sunday and Monday, respectively. The
proximity of these engagements is such
that his majesty feels he can keep them,
provided the condition of the President
does not get worse, rather than disap-
point the people of these communities.
From Buffalo his majesty will proceed
directly and Immediately to place in
California, which will be announced
later.
His majesty has expressed his
earnest desire to proceed to WASH
ington to pay a visit Of courtesy and
respect to President Wilson and has
said he would have so proceeded. even
If he could have remained only five
minutes, If he had not been advised
by the Presidents physician that he
would not permit him to see Mr.. Will
son.
His majesty has decided that ow-
ing to the condition of health of the
President, he does not care to go TO
a place of amusement, and conse-
quently has cancelled his engagement
to go to the Hippodrome tonight"
All the memberS of the royal party
were frankly tired last night. Even
the staff officers who have accom-
panied them did not deny it, and the
youthful Duke of Brabant smiled
happily when their hotel was reached
after an -eventful day with only a
couple Of hours off for rest.

ASSERTS PRESIDENT
PER|LS Democracy
Senator Jones Calls Attempt
to Coerce Congress Most
Dangerous:
BLAMED ALSO FOR DELAY

Senator Jones. republican Of Wash
fngton, declared in an address in the
Senate Yesterday that President Wilson.
"by word and deed. had done more
to undermine. orderly, peaceful rep
resentative government than any
other human agency"
"The Presidents action in attempt
ing to coerce' a coordinate legisla-
tive branch of the government to do
his will regardless of its own judg-
ment and convictions of duty" Sena-
tor Jones said, was "a more danger
Gus assault upon democracy and the
integrity of this republic than any
armed attack could be-
: TT fembodies the spirit Of mob and
1ustifies 1awlessness," he charged.
Mr.. Wilson's Sincerity Not Doubted
Senator Jones said he did not ques-
ton the Presidents sincerity, and
however much he might condemn his
methods, it would not influence his
decision in voting on the treaty. In
studying it, he told the Senate he had
sought to find reasons to justify his
support, rather than to sustain vote
against it.
/. The main controversy over the
treaty, Senator Jones declared, was
(which will not be rejected. but SO
ratified that the vital interests Of the
United States will be protected and
its Independence and sovereignty
preserved"
"The league covenant should not be
in the treaty." he said. Months ago
the treaty with Germany should have
been made and ratified. Who Is to
blame for the delay? Nosone but the
President. He and he alone insisted
upon the two things being put to-
gether. If the worlds heart is broken,
he will break it. If the worlds hope
of peace shall die, he will kill it"
Senator Jones insisted that Amer
ican representatives in the council
and assembly of the league should
be eventually elected by the people.
mo Reservations, No Covenant
"The President tells the people the
world will sink into chaos If the
United States does not enter the
league of nations" Senator Jones
said. 'The danger to the covenant
today comes from the President him.
self. He insists that the covenant
must be accepted by the Senate ex-
actly as he has sent it to us. I know.
and his friends know, and he ought
to know, that if reservations are not
adopted the covenant will be reject
ed in it's entirety. If the treaty is
not ratified, and the United States
fails to enter the league Of nations,
Woodrow Wilson alone will prevent
it."

ELAINE, Ark, October 4.-This little
town breathed easier today than at
any time since early in the week,
when race disturbances Of a serious
nature began without warning. The
relieved feeling was due largely to
the fact that all the reports from dis
tricts where federal soldiers and
civilian officers were on duty con-
tinued to be of a reassuring nature.
Generally, the people here believed
the worst of the trouble was over.
However, officials were emphatic in
their assertions that there would be
no relaxation of emergency measures
and there was no indication that the
500 soldiers sent here from Camp Pike
would be withdrawn soon.
The authorities expected to. obtain
additional information regarding the
alleged banding of negroes in this
locality through further questioning

"The Black Crook"

Wherever doddering old men and
women approaching forty sit about the
fire of long winter night putting at
their Fatimas, talk will now and again
inevitably revert to "The Black Crook"
Some will say that they actually saw the
show wheeled in, doubtless, in perambu-
lators); others will merely recall the
posters blazing forth it's attractions; all
will agree that it marked an epoch, and
that modern life as we know it
then began.
That is funny word, "modern." On
Sheridan Square it means everything not
more than week old. In Petrograd it
doubtless looks back to the second rev.
olution. We suspect that the war will be
the dividing mark for most of the world
certainly for all that part of the world
that fought in it. Anything before July,
1914, will be old-fashioned long before we
can get our Victory bonds paid for. So
1t is Of an obsolescent modernism that
we write, a rollicking, devil-may-care
youth very bare of hair on the top of
the head and slipping unobtrusively out
of tennis and into golf.
1t was in 1869 that Imre Kiralfy, who
died the other day, danced in "The Black
Crook" at Niblo's Garden. But the show
lasted for years thereafter, and was re-
vvcd periodically through the '70s and
into the '80s. Other spectacles made
the name Kiralfy more famous, espc
cially America" at Chicago in 1894, and

A Fiume COMPROMISE

Between the lines of the latest news
from Paris and from Rome it is possible
to discover signs of compromise. There
is calmer tone, and dimly can be seen
hints of compromise and adjustment.
1t is established that Fiume itself is an
Italian city which is resolved to be united
to the motherland, and that Italy is as
firmly resolved not to abandon her daugh-
ter to the mercies of those who lately
wore Austrian uniforms and as invaders
diligently labored to kill Italians and
loot Venetia.
But Italy, despite the heat of her emo
tions in the presence of what she re-
garded as an insulting demand, does not
seem impervious to the force of the argu-
ment that the Danubian hinterland is en-
titled to access to the sea. Italy sup
ports Poland in similar demand, and
may be assumed never to have intended
to seal up any population. The spirit of
Italy has been widely misrepresented.
What compromise is possible? Scarcely
the plan suggested by President Wilson,
under which Fiume would be interna-
tonalized but left under Jugo-Slav Gus
toms. This would be but nominal free
dom. The compromise is rather to be
sought by discriminating between the
port of Fiume and the city of Fiume.
Hamburg for many years had a free
port while Hamburg itself was German.
We are familiar with the project to make
Staten Island free port.
By this settlement Fumes people
would live under their own flag, with no
blocking of the road to the hinterland.
Italy has no desire to dissociate her
self from the Western democracies. Nor
have the Western democracies any wish
to isolate Italy. However tactless his ac-
ton, President Wilson surely is alive to
the need of reestablishing union. 1t is to
be hoped no narrow pride or any desire
to win victory which will be defeat
will lead either Italy or the President to
persist in aloofness.

the cause Of pageantry owed much to his
genius. 1t was not as pageant, how
ever, that "The Black Crook" prospered
or marks an epoch for the passing mod
ernist of to-day. 1t was the first show
wherein tights reigned supreme. Tights
in the ballet we're always accepted.
Tights in the circus lifted no eyebrows.
But tights as a complete entertain
ment, the central feature of show, "The
Black Crook" introduced to America in
the Centennial era.
Those were, indeed, the days But so
fast has the pace been since that tights
seem now as quaint and prim as panta-
lettes. That is the trouble with all prog
ress. For few years "The Black Crook"
thrilled and stirred hurrahs and maledic-
tions. Then it faded into pallid obscur-
ity, and lives on now only in the memory
of reminiscent quadrogenarians In
short, "The Black Crook" was a pioneer,
and, like all pioneers, it took only a
couple of generations to relegate it to the
past of mossback conservatism.
