Here're Chorus Girls
Marriage Qualifications

Here's what chorus girls say in
declaring that members of their pro-
fession make better wives than col
lege graduates:
Education has nothing to do with
making good wife-it's the moral
qualities that count.
Chorus girls are not illiterate,
most of them come from the con-
vents and that ought to prove that
they are both literate and would
make good wives.
Chorus girls know more about
housekeeping than college girls. Col
lege girls are dependent upon their
mothers for every domestic neces-
sity.
"a girl has far more possibilities
of learning life in the chorus than
she has at college.
Chorus girls do their own wash
ing, mending and sewing, which Is
more than college girls do"
One chorus girl, the widow of a
titled count and a college graduate,
says:
''I did not get any business train
ing at college. I never met any
chorus girl that was narrow mind

aWooden keg With Steel Hoops
Contains Just Plain Water
for City Officials

City officials for time today be-
lieved the good old days of thirst
quenching stations in City Hall had
been revived.
Their hopes were short lived, how
ever, as the small wooden keg, with
real steel hoops, installed in room
off Councils chamber, turned out to
contain nothing more exhilarating than
cold water.
The demand for some cooling drink
during the hot. spell has increased so
rapidly that William II. FELTON,, chief
clerk of Common Council, found his
ornate water cooler inadequate and sub
stitpted the quarter keg.
The keg is short dozen steps from
the cabinet that in years past held
bottles of liquid lightning, sparkling
glasses and cubes of ice that were so
welcome when Councils kitchen was
used for the concoction of delectable
lunches, with appropriate wet goods for
dressing.
Morris 70. Conn, common councilman
from the Eighth Ward, was one of the
first to discover the new keg. He
tapped it only to make wry face.
His failure to draw anything stronger
than H2-O reminded him of the hot
summer day last year when he had John
II. Baizley's glass in Councils filed
with excellent gin instead of water.
Gin not being Mr.. Baizley's favorite
tipple, he spluttered and coughed and
finally threw the contents Of the glass
on Mr.. Conn and other members sitting
nearby,

In fact, one chorus girl asserts that,
to her knowledge, the college girls are
dependent on their mothers for every
domestic necessity.

 B0LSHEV|KS
Kolchak Advances 19O Miles Along Whole Front In
 Five Weeks.

' London, April 22.-(British wire- Admiral Kolchak's government, in making an advance, of 190 miles in five weeks on the Ural front has achieved success which endangers the entire bolshevik position in Eas- tern Russia. According to advices from Onfsk the Siberians are now within 100 miles of the Volga, the most important river of Russia, and the new successes on the river Kama in the center of the 400 miles front, make untenable the bolshevik posi- tions east of the Volga. The bolshev. ik troops opposed to the allies in North Russia and thos facing Genar- al Denekin in South Russia are af- fected seriously by the advance.
 The bolshevik had clung obstinate ly to Sarapul, southwest of Perm, and it's captufe together with much war material and number of bol- ;sheviki leaders is. looked upon at Omsk as an important step. Both banks of the Kama river, which poins the. Volga near Kanzan, have been cleared of bolsheviki for distance of more than 200 miles.
 Enemy Loses Heavily.

WILSON SHOWS NO
 SIGN OF WEAKENING
Future Of kiay Chau Is Taken Up At Conference With Makino
 And Chinda.
(By The Associated Press

Tuesday witnessed no action on the part of the Italian delegates to the peace conference in Paris which would inlicate that Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino had receded from their demand that the east coast of the Adriatic and it's ad- jacent islands and the seaport of Plume be given to Italy.
 Nor was there visible any sign on the part of the British and French premiers and President Wilson of weakening in the stand they have taken that Italy's price is too high. Promises alleged to have been made tc Italy by France and Great Britain in the London treaty are being held to inflexibly by the Italians. The Ital- ians did not attend Tuesdays meeting of the council of four, which put aside entirely the Italian claims and dis cussed with Baron Makino and Wis count Chinda of the Japanese dele gation, the question of the future of Kiao Chau.
 Apparently there is still much bit terness over the Italian question. One of the Italian delegates told the Asso- ciated Press it was considered use- less for the Italians to take further part in the conferences unless the allies were agreeable to granting ltaly's request. One compromise has been suggested to the Italians, but declined by them, according to late reports This provided for recogni- tion of Italy's claim to Plume in re- turn for the abandonment of her am bitions to the Dalmatian coast.
 Conferences Private.
 Private conferences between Prem fer Orlando and members of the coun- cil of four are said to have taken place and meeting with MT. Lloyd George has been arranged to secure, if possible, an adjustment of the con- troversy. Considerable fighting has taken place on the Russian front be- tween Polish troops and the bolshe- wiki. The Poles have captured Wilma and the important railway centers of Baranovichi and Novogrodek to the South of Wilma. Reports are to the effect that near Lemberg, the Poles have broken through the Ukrainian front.
 The soviet government of Bella Kun in Hungary has been overthrown by the followers of Premier Hoffmann Riot and pillage are said to be in progress in Budapest.
 Fierce fighting is reported to have been resumed in Munich, where Wur- temberg troops have started an at- tack against the soviet forces under cover of artillery fire.
 Revolution in Turkey has been fol- lowed by the setting up of a soviet government, according to reports re- ceived in Paris from Kiev, Russia.

ANSELL RESUMES ATTACK ON ARMY
 JUSTICE SYSTEM
Would Have Thrown Bill Submitted Year Ago Into
 Waste Basket.

Washington, April 22.-Licutenant Colonel Ansell, former acting judge advocate general, in resuming his. at tack upon the army system of justice today before the Investigating com mittee of the American Bar associa- tion. said he "would have thrown in- to the waste basket" the bill submit ted by the war department more than a year ago authorizing the president to review and revise court martial findings or sentences.
 Had that bill passed" he said, "you would have the judge advocate general reporting to the chief of staff, the ultra military man of the army"
 Chairman Gregory said he under stood that Colonel Ansell sought to have established. "a thoroughly judi cial system" which would be free from interference. "bv the staff or anybody else." Colonel Ansell agreed, adding that the question was wheth- CT these trials were disciplinary mat ters or matters of pure law. "You have got to turn over the whole pschvology of the system, by some new law," he declared, "to es- cape from the ultra-military view point" It is there the mistake is made he said, and added, i've have injustice as long as we stay on that trail"
 Discuss Presidents Power. ] A long argument as to the power of the president as commander in chief, arose between the officer and Judge Gregory, the latter contendine that congress could make no grant of power to an officer of the army that did not also become vested in the president as commander in chief The chairman thought this was clear. i lv established, even with relation tc the army governmental system. Col. onel Ansell held that the function o1 command, vested in the president, was wholly different matter from that vested in congress to provide rules of government.
 Turning to statistical tables, Col. onel Ansell said that in 51 cases out of every 100 court martial cases o1 enlisted men, dishonorable discharges had been awarded as part of the pen alties. Of those awarded 46 percent
 had been executed. This was wholly different from the treatment of off cers for the safeguarding of whose commissions congress had carefully ! ',~ov ded he said. It was high time 1 l.e insisted, that "a system of law ad
 ministered independently of the com
 mander in chief and answerable onl!
 to congress" was created to protec
 the men.

 racks, probably will appear befor'

Associated Press Head Tells Of Activities Abroad At
 A. P. Meeting.
(By The Associated Press.) )

Paris, April 22.-There are indi- cations of weakening on the part of the Italian delegation and disposi- tion to withdraw their demands for the Dalmatian Hinterland if permit ted to have the coast, the coastal watershed and Plume.
 President Wilson is inflexible inu his position that Plume shall not be annexed to Italy, thus bottling up go-Slavia.
 Although Premier Orlando probably will not attend the meetings of the council of four immediately, the inclinations of the Italians to com promise is looked upon as encourage ing by the allies who apparently are hopeful that an agreement may be reached by mutual concessions.
 The suggestion is widely circulated tonight in Paris that Great Britain end France cannot sign peace treaty with Germany if Italy refuses be- cause under the London agreement no member of the entente is to sign a separate peace. The suggestion, how ever, apparently has not haA any 'VdC Cl1CCC OIi CIlC ICSOCidtiOHo do the delegates expressed the opinion that no single nation can afford to hinder peace conforming to the provisions of the armistice broadly and that rights of secret treaties will be lightly regarded by the peoples who are clamoring for settlement of the world war.
 As the United States is not a sig natory of the London agreement not to make separate peace even the most serious break in the conference would not prevent her from making peace with Germany under crisis which might arise as a result of Eu- ropean alliances. But the American delegates refuse to give serious con- sideration to such an eventualityy. The rivalries of various leaders are figuring largely in the present deadlocks.
 Economic conditions are so bad and food and coal are so scarce in the European countries today that a majority of the peace delegates feel that no important country will at tempt to continue fighting under conditions of virtual isolation from | the supply centers.

 Stuttgart has oversubscribed it's quota of the Victory loan within 15 minutes after the campaign opened" said R. L. Metsker, publisher of the Free Press, of Stuttgart, who was the guest of Harvey c. Cough at yesterdays session of the Rotary Club. MT. Metsker said that Stutt- gart's quota was $164,000, and that subscriptions would far exceed that amount.
 MT. Couch, in presenting Mir. Metsker, had recalled that the young newspaper man not only hailed from one of the most progressive cities in Arkansas, but that more people in Arkansas county had paid income taxes than those of any other county in Arkansas.
