 the glare of society infested with leeches, idlers, thrill-seeking vast CTS to whom clean thinking and wholesome amusements are unendur- able? This is the thought raised by the young husband in Anita Stew arts new starring vehicle, "Virtuous Wives" which vii lbe shown at the Best theatre last time today when he returns from the west and finds his Wife, for whom he has been trying to win fortune, has been carrying on a filtration with another man during his absence. Miss Stewart, the lovely star over whom two film com- panies have been wraggling during the last year, has never been provid- ed with a part so typically her own as that of the thoughtless but virtu- ous wife. Supporting her is an all- star cast including Mrs. DeWolfe Hopper as Mrs. lrma Delabarre, "a lilly of beauty with pollen of the most deadly poison." and others. "

This would necessitate com munlcating the determinations of the allies and associated governments to a certain extent in outline, or in less formal shape than the definite text.
 Are of Equal Rank.
 For this purpose, the presence of the plenipotentiaries charged with the peace negotiations was imperative. quite apart from the point of prestige that plenipotentiaries of the allied and associated powers could only meet With German representatives of equal rank and dignity.
 Further, it is planned. to have such limited discussion of the peace pro- posals as President Wilson and his associates are prepared to admit. mo- tably the modes of payment of the sums which have been exacted as rep- arations, and explanations on any points in the long complicated drafts or the treaty provisos which the Ger man delegates may seek to begin with without waiting the action of the gov ernment at Weimar The text of the treaty and the difficult points as they arise would, in the meantime. be communicated to Weimar.

SHRINERS GET WORTHAM SHOWS
 FOR CARNIVAL,

Sahara Patrol Of Sahara Temple, A A. o. x. M. S., commonly knows as the Shriners, has contracted with the WOrtham shows to appear here dur ing the Shriners' spring festival May l2 to May l1. Permission for the varnival was given the Shriners by the council last night and from now on Ray Mcintyre and his fellow mo- bles will push the arrangements.
 The Shriners put on a spring car nival in 1917, and those who partici- pated in the fun, doubtless will be keen for taking part in the next.
 Whatever funds are derived from the carnival will be used in helping to defray the expense of delegation from Pine Bluff to the Shriners' con- vention, in Portland, Ore, in June, 1920.

At that time, he added, the food administration grain corpora tion, which he headed throughout the war and will remain in charge of for the present, probably would drop the first two words of it's name. He had assurances, he stated, that major ity of the twenty grain men who were associated with him in its management would remain in the service, despite their desires, with hostilities ended, to return to theil private activities.

ANSELL CHARGES COMMITTEE SHUT
 EYES TO TRUTH

Washington, April 21.-Colonel Samuel T. Ansell, former acting judge-advocate general and chief fig
 ure in the attack upon the army dis ciplinary system, accused the com mittee of the American Bar associa- tion today with having placed itself under the domination of the war de- partment in it's investigation of mili- tary justice and of shutting it's eyes to the truth. His assertion made an his appearance, before the comimttee, was promptly challenged by Chair man Gregory, who warned Colonel Ansell that he-was "over-suspicious and on the wrong track"
 "We are not anybody's tools," de- clared Judge Gregory. "l have prac- ticed law two and half times as long as Secretary Baker. don't propose to surrender my judgment to anybody. If you are for justice, this committee will strike hands with you"
 Colonel Ansell specifically attack ed the right of Martin Conboy, of New York. to sit on the committee. The relationship between Conboy and Major General Crowder, judge -advo- cate general, had been such. Colonel Ansell said, as to make him "a staunch supporter" of General Crow der. For that reason, Colonel An sell said, MT. Conboy should with draw from the committee.
 Mr. Conboy was not present at the session, but Judge Gregory pointed out that he and the other members of the committee had known General Crowder and respected him highly, and added:
 ''I do not think that would influ- ence my mind"
 Colonel Ansell then proceeded with his arraignment of the court martial system itself, denouncing it as an un-American and the practical ly unchanged survival of the old British military code adopted in 1774 when soldiers were the creatures of a sovereign or overlord. The witness was assured by Judge Gregory that he might have all the time he wished to present his case or to call officers or others whose views he wished to be presented. Colonel Ansell will continue tomorrow with his carefully prepared argument. He did not pass today beyond the legislative his- tory of the articles of war seeking to show that they have never been changer substantially or brought in- to harmony with American ideas of right and justice.
 Col Ansell opened his hearing with a prepared statement which he de- clared his conscience required him to make before he could proceed. His attack upon the method and person. nel of the committee was contained in this document.
 Declaring that he was the leading opponent of the army court system and had been subjected to military restrictions" in his efforts to reform | t. the officer said the fact that the 1 "at this rather late date" had asked him to appear, was signi- icant to him. He expressed regret 1 that committee did not call him soon- 1T in order that he might have better 'repared the case he desired to pre- sent.

 "The American Oil companies have never given any munitions of war of any sort to any Mexico rebel" a statement issued by the association said.
