II. c. MacDougall. widely known or

the changing of key in quite a num-

ers evidently forgot the range of the
ordinary choir voice in their desire to
accomplish something harmonically
attractive. In some hymns he raises
the pitch. while in others he lowers
it. Organlsts not gifted with rapid
transposing facility cling to the text
which appears in the hymnal before
him allowing the choir to proceed in
the original key.

Behind the appearance of Miss
Anita Stewart in "Virtuous Wives"
the first production to be made by
her own company, is an interesting
series of events, which started year
ago when Louis B. Mayer. Boston film
magnate, sought to obtain her re-
lease from the Vitagraph Company
and launch her as an independent
star in a series of productions based
on famous stories.
Mr. Mayer finally concluded his ne
ganizations with the Nitagraph orr
ganiZatoin by paying them a cash
bonus said to run into five figures,
for carcellng the contract they held
for Miss Stewarts services.
Miss Stewards first production un-
der the management of Mr.. Mayer
is an adoption of the famous novel,
"Virtuous Wives by owen johnson

PUNISHMENT OF THE

But Council Of Four is Obliged to Revise it's Plan of Procudure.
 Exile Is 3 Possibility

Paris, April 19.-The plan of the /, Council of. Four to have Belgium pros ecute the former German emperor on
 the charge of responsibility for the
 war is meeting with objections, which
 are again bringing up the whole sub
 ject for revision.
 1 Those who have the matter in hands /! divide the question of war responsible
 ities into two different classes. The first class includes military and naval offenders, like General Ludendorff and l Admiral Von Tripiz, and those ac-
 cused of various excesses against the
 usual rules of warfare. The second class includes former Emperor Will
 liam, ex-Chancellor von Bethmann-
 Hollweg and others, whose offense is chiefly of political nature.
 Concerning the first class, that of
 military offenders, it is agreed that
 there is nc international court mar ] tial suitable to undertake such mili- tary trials. but every country has it's | borders. This has caused the sugges- tion that these countries combine Itheir courts martial and act under a single military procedure confided from all the separate military codes. A joint court-martial would be con- stituted capable of dealing with of lenders of the first, or military or
 naval class. < Napoleon as isresident.
 Concerning the political offenders, it is said that tribunal is not nec-
 essary and would be ineffective, owing to the legal immunity of political of lenders. Therefore, it is maintained
 that the action against Napoleon |. furnishes precedent for the deter mination of the allied course as a
 general measure of policy.
 Tn the case of Napoleon there was
 no trial, but he was confined upon the island of, St. Helena, cs a general
 measure Of policy for the tranquility of Europe. Some such general policy is planned to reach ex-Emperor Will | liam and other political offenders with
 Belgium or another country against which the political offenses charged were chiefly directed, acting for the purpose of securing the extradition of i the individual as preliminary to putting the general policy into effect. Women Demand Punishment. ] A petition asking for the punish 1 ment of the Germans responsible for the deportation of women from Lille,
