arduous indeed. From the time the
stage manager tinkled his little bell

as busy a man as could be found any
where in any capacity on earth.
Everything had to be done when the
order was given to do 1t or everything

Of Harlequin, that merry fellow with

Columbine. What a hazardous part
he plays. He is perpetually taking a
leap in the dark, trusting to sheer luck

 s'The President of the United States, the premiers and foreign ministers of the allied and associated governments and the Japanese rep resentativeS held two meetings on January 29. The morning sitting was devoted to hearing reports of delegates who made general state ments on the Polish situation and Polish claims. In the afternoon the CzechO-SIOvak delegates gave their views on the question of the indus- trial basin in Silesia situated be- tween Bohemia and Poland"
 .Since Monday, last. Mir. Barnes British m msnister without pOrtfOliOD has been comforting with prominent British trade unfOnlsts and repre- sentativeS of India and the dOmin- ions on the draft of a scheme for the international regulation of con- ditiOns of employment. The scheme has been closely examined, and the experience of all present at the con- ference has been freely placed at Mir. Barnes disposal. Many valuable suggestions have been made and 1t is felt that full light has been given to the views of organized British trade uniOniSts.
 "The conference concluded at noon January 20, and the draft scheme agreed upon will he submitted to the international commission on ln- Dor regulations, which was appoint ed on Saturday last at the peace cOnference."

Montgomery. January 29.-(SpeciaD House bill No. 23, by Truss of Jefferson county, which had been placed on the ad- verse calendar by the committee to which it was referred during the first days of the session, made heroic effort to over come it's position when the house con vered for the tenth legislative day We'd nesday morning. Mir. Truss and other friends of the bill made a brave fight for the so-called states right bill. but it's death was sounded when motion of Tompkins of Houston to table the pre- vious motion for a place on the calendar for the Truss bill was passed.
 This bill, for short time. showed signs of recovery from the adverse calendar, which usually is the end of bad bill-- or a bill which is not thought well of by the committee. But indications of new fife did not last long, the representa- tives by vote of 5S to 37 agreeing to table the motion of Truss for place on the calendar.
 At previous meeting of the house MT Truss, the author, gave notice he would move for the placing of the bill on the ca lendar and off the adverse calendar The formantes had been gone through with when MT. Truss made such move lexplainihg briefly he had given notice of such intention last Friday.

Illness Forces Shaw
 to Return to Home

Montgomery. January D. Special )-W H. Shaw, who successfully operated the prohibition machinery the first few days of the present legislature, and looked upon as one of the looming leaders, of the house. has been compelled to go to his home in Colbert county because of illness. Mir. Shaw has not been feeling well for several days, and when the Tuesday session began it was stated he had been forced to return home.
 Mir. Shaw. although quite young, has the support of the members of the house who believe in pushing young men ahead and forgetting for the time being that old men are required for the difficult tasks in the legislature"
 When the Weakley bone-dry bill came up in the house it was agreed among the prohibition members that MT. Shaw should be given the honor of guiding the bill through the house. This is consid- cred big honor to a young member of the legislature, but MT. Shaw proved equal to the difficult task. His bill final ly was enacted by the senate and this is the bill that has got "toddy drinkers wondering where they will get a drink

 NEW YORK IS 44TH | STATE ID RAT|FY | DRY AMENDMENT Democratic Delegation of P Votes as Unit Against RatificatiOn-VOte
 Is 27 to "A
By Asseeiatsd Prsss

oy HssSssatos sftss
 Albany. N. Y., January 20.-New
 York became the forty-fourth state
 to ratify the federal prohibition
 amendment when the Senate to-
 night by vote of 9 to 24 con-
 cured in the McNab ratifying reso-
 lution which was adopted by the
 assembly last week.
 The democratic delega ton of 22 voted as a unit against ratification and was assisted by two republicans, Henry M. Sage of Albany and Charles c. Lock- wood of Kings, both of whom had re- fused to be bound by the action of a republican caucus Monday night in making the question a party measure.
 Adoption of the resolution was ac- complshed after eight hours and 20 minutes of debate and by checking over parliamentary technicaiities. For time it looked as though action might be deferred, Senator Loring NJ. Black. Jr., a Brooklyn democrat. having raised a point of order that the question of rat ifcation was not properly before the house. His contention was that the records of the 1919 senate did not in clude the official certiflcation of the action of Congress in submitting the ratification amepdment to the state.
 A recess was ordered when it was learned from the clerk of the sena te that there was no certified copy of action of Congress at the desk Adop- tion of a motion by Senator Adon r. Brown of Madison that Governor Whit mans special ratification message sent to the 1918 legislature and containing "a certified copy of the amendment pro- posed by Congress be made part of the record of the 1919 senate cleared the way to vote on the resolution.

ORGANIZED GERMAN ARMY NOW NUMBERS
 .0NLY 5O0,0O0 MEN
Reports of Intelligence Off, ficers Indicate Hun Morale Too Low for Any Effec-
 tive Operations
Bv A..scI.tsd pr.s.

 rt Coblenz, January 29.-According' to esti- mates made by intelligence officers of the American Third army, based upon reports from all parts of Germany, the organized German army now located in various depots numbers from 300,000 to 5OO, 900 men. The reports indicate these soldiers are of such morale that they hardly will be available for opera tions of any extent The number of men in the army, according to reports reaching Cobenz, is decreasing rapidly.
 The new volunteer army numbers be- tween 100000 and 30O,00o men of doubt ful morale. as they have not yet been organized fully nor tested fairly. The volunteer army, which is being organized for the purpose of stopping Polish and bolshevik invasions of German territory, has 40OGO men in the region of Frank fort-on-the Oder.
 The organized German army consists of the classes of 1898 and 1899, less some men discharged because they live in oc- cupied territory, less large numbers of deserters and less some men discharged. according to demobilization plans. The officers and noncommissioned officers of this army are men who intend to remain pc rmanently in the service.
 Evidence is said to be conclusive tha, the troops now in the depots have aS- Sumed the atIltuue or urdWluS thelr pay and doing as little as possible sHntil they are discharged.
 In arriving at the number of men in the organized army. the troops which !, have been unable to return from ths :, eastern front are disresarded as they generally come from the older classes and are being discharged as soon d: 1 they reach Germany. No account has ! been taken of the naval units which ar. densa-aiized and disbanding rapidly.
