like the earl in satin kinckerbockers,
etc, and with ladies Of every hue
with long trains and jewels by the
dozen. You could hardly move in
the gay throng. Dukes were as
nought, as there were a good lot of
princes and archdukes, as it was a
very superior levee indeed. The
earl and Mr.. Salteena struggled
through the crowd till they came to
a platform draped with white vel
vet. Here in a golden chair was
seated the Prince of Wales in a
lovely ermine cloak and a small but
costly crown. He was chatting
quite genially with some Of the

A CHILD prodigy has broken
~ the even tenor of literary
- London by breaking into
print with a novel, so re-
markable in form and treatment
that so great a man as J. M. Barrie
has condescended to preface it by a
critical introduction. The child, as
Barrie explains, is. grown up now,
but when the novel was written she
was just nine years old, and just
hoped for rainy days, she was so
fond of writing. A novel, however,
even by a child of nine, is not
enough to lay London by the ear.
1t is Barrie's connection with it that
is puzzling the critics, a naturally
skeptic breed, who hint that no in
fant genius wrote that book, but
that the whole marvellous produc-
tion came direct from the author of
"Peter Pan" himself.
Like Barrie
Of course, there is photograph
of Daisy Ashford, to whom Barrie
gives credit for writing one of the
most striking pieces Of fiction of the
decade, as we'll as a facsimile page
of her manuscript. The whole thing
is queerly spelled and devoid of
conventional punctuation, but there
is something besides such earmarks.
The quaint humor, the childlike pict-
ures of life, the whole outlook is
suspiciously of the Barrie vein.
Is it another whimsy of man
whose whimsical ideas have amused
grownups and children from the
footlights and from the printed
page? Is it huge literary jest
brought out by past master Of the
child mind? Is he merely using the
introduction as a bushel to hide
n1isspelled, ungrammatical light,
which he might hesitate to acknowl-
edge as his own? These are the
questions which flood the mind of
every incredulous reader who picks
up "The Young Visiters," published
in America by the George H. Doran
Company. When he finally puts the
book down his doubts are not al
layed. 1t is too good. 1t is too
amusing. 1t is planned too we'll and
too dramatically. If child of nine
did write it in child's notebook and
then laid it away Gin lavender" to
be unearthed in non-Victorian age
it is hard to disagree with Barrie's
NUN estimate

The L0ue Scene.

1t must not be forgotten, how
ever, that the novel is real novel.
Therefore, the great scene is the
love scene. Could Barrie himself
have bettered it?

so intensely that if you say no
shall perforce dash my body to the

OPPONENTS 0F PEACE LEAGUE
 AGAIN BEATEN
Senate Rejects Lodges Amend ment to Strike Out Shan
 tung Provision.
PLAN SECRET SESSIONS
 TO SHORTEN SPEECHES
Some Senators Believe There Will Be Less Talk if the Remarks Are Not Given Pub
 licity.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Hope f., speedy action on the peace treaty frightened up again today when the senate voted down one amendment, agreed to dispose of two more to- morrow, and renewed informal dis cussion of methods to hasten consd- eration of reservations.
 The amendment disposed of today was one by Republican Leader Lodge to strike from the treaty entirely the Shantung provision. The vote was Al to 26, the proposal failing by the votes of virtually the same senators who several days ago de- feated the committee amendment on that subject.
 Tomorrow action will be sought on the amendment of Senator Gore, democrat, of Oklahoma for a popu- lar vote before any delegation of war, and later the proposal. of Sena- tor LaFollette, republican, Wiscon- sin, to strike out the treaty's labor provisions, will come up on agree ment to vote formally on it by 3 p. m. These are the only amend ments now remaining before the senate.
 Suggest Secret Sessions.
 Part of today's debate was on a motion by Senator Borah, repub- lican, Idaho, to strike out Article 10 of the league covenant, but he with drew the proposal after suggestions had been advanced for changing the foreign relations committee reserva- ton on the subject to meet his objec- tion.
 One expedient suggested to insure prompt action, which has been ser iously considered by some senators, is that the senate go into secret ses- sion in the hope that peaches will not be so numerous or so long if they are not to be given public circulation.

MINE OWNERS 70
 SUE MINERS ON
 WORK CONTRACT
Chairman of Operators Con- mittee Says Union Men Co.,
 ing to NOn- Union Mines.

St. Louis. Nov. 1.-The majority of coal operators probably will sue the United Mine Workers of America for alleged breach of contract Thomas T. Brewster, chair of the coal opera tors scale committee, announced to- night.
 1t is not unlikely that the ma Jorlty of the operators will file suits agalnst the miners union for break ing the contract entered into in 1917.;' Brewster asserted. "The contract stipulated that the pact would re. man in force until the termination; c' the war and the officials of tl.c mlners violated this agreement by calling the present strike. The op- orators have fulfilled every agree. ment they made.
 The suits, however, I believe pro!nably will be instituted by the malvldual operators, and not by the operators association"
 |. lie asserted he had received uncon- alrmed reports that "thousands of unlon miners" were going to work in non-union mines.

EAYS B0LSHEv|K l PROPAGANDA IN l J, s, ORGANIZED
1orc;hle Overthrow of American Government Planned, Says Official. |pHULIPS OUTLINES PLAN OF OPERATIONS ||noroer of Use of Immense Amount of Gold for Propaganda Through Channels of Trade Is Ex- plained.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Russian fholsheviki "have availed themselves |of every opportunity to initiate in |the United States a propaganda aim led to bring about the forcible over- |throw of our present form of govern ment," Chairman Wadsworth, of the senate military committee, has been l informed by Assistant Secretary Phillips in letter made public to- |day at the state department.
 The bolsheviki, MT. Phillips said, |have at their disposal large quanti- ties of gold, partly revenue of the former Russian government and part lily reserve belonging to the Ruman- |ian government, and it is considered important not to give them means through commercial transactions to bring this gold into the United
 Stakes where it could be used to sus-
 tain their propaganda of "violence land unreason."
 MT. Phillips said that while there
 was no blockade of Petrograd so far
 as the United States was concerned,
 no licenses for the shipment of goods to bolshevist Russia were being is-
 sued. This policy of hon-intercourse he added, could not be continued
 after the proclamation of peace with
 out additional legislation.

BAKER ATTACKED BY CHAMBERLAIN
 BEFORE SENATE
DemOtiOn of Officer-Critics De- casions Sharp Passage of
 Words.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Secretary Baker and Senator Chamberlain democrat, of Oregon, former chair man of the senate military con- mittee, clashed sharply today at a hearing of subcommittee dealing with the military justice controversy.
 "Whenever an inferior officer gets into a disagreement with his super for, he is likely to get the axe very suddenly Senator Chamberlain de- clared.
 "That isn't a fact" Secretary Baker said
 "But I say it is," Senator Cham berlain responded.
 "We know it up here"
 "Of course." Mir. Baker said "when an officer comes up to cor- things that are independent of de- partment views, you class anything that happens to him after as puni- tive punishment"
 "Take your own actions," said Senator Chamberlain. "What did you do to General Kenly for his air craft statements up here ?"
 "He was not disciplined" MT. Baker returned.
 "No, you don't call it discipline, ,'' Senator Chamberlain remarked. What happened to Ansell? (former judge advocate generaD. "You put him in place of inoccuous desuetude, and reduced him in rank"
 q did that" Mir. Baker replied. "He was not only disagreeing with his superior, he was slandering him."
 "Yes. And what became of Ad- iutant General Mccain, when he thought his office oueht not to go under the general staff? ?" asked Mr. Chamberlain.
 "I gave him the opportunity to command division in the field. the hearts desire of every soldier" MT. Baker said.
 "Yes. but did he ask to be reliev- ed?" Senator Chamberlain persisted.
 "He'd never had anything but off, flee experience. I confess that I did not know his military record" MT. Baker said. "I thought he had com manded troops"
 Senator Chamberlain named other officers of lower rank and the secre- tary conceded that some of them had been denoted and transferred.
 "When a man can't get along with his chief he ought to get out of the service" the secretary concluded "unless his chief is wrong. and then you ought to change the chief"
 The committee was considering d bill drawn by Senator Chamberlain to carry out recommendations by Ansell as to changes in the army court martial system. MT. Baker de. clared his opposition to the proposal to create a military appellate court on the ground that it would make army legal machinery too inflexlbie in war times, however desirable it might be in peace time.

MANY SEEM DEAF TO APPEAL MADE
 BY RED GROSS
Only 1,700 in Jefferson Enroll as Members of Humanitarian
 Organization.

Total subscriptions to the third Red Cross roll call. now in progress, as reported by Mrs. Hughes Tay- Tor, chairman of the ladies' division for Pine Bluff, amounted to $1,7O0. Mrs. Taylor's report was rendered last night, and showed a decline in subscriptions of Monday, as the total that day reached $1,000. The quota for Jefferson county is only $500, sum which workers in the cam paign believed would be raised al- most entirely within the first three or four days. The campaign is to continue until November 11-or Ar mistice Day, but it was the belief of local workers the drive would be completed long before that date.
 Indications of the first days are, however, that the drive in this coun- ty will consume practically all of the allotted time. Mrs. Taylor states the fault is not with the wo- men workers. as they are devoting practically all of their time to the campaign, but rather to. lock of willingness on the part of the peo- pie of the city to contribute.
 Thursday will be known as Red Cross Flag Day, on which day ev- cry contributor and supporter of the Red Cross is to display the Red Cross flag from a window. This will be one means, it is believed, to determine the number of support CTS of the Red Cross.
 All of the $1700 raised in the campaign thus far have been from one dollar memberships, as no $50 life memberships have been sub scribed.

 Chiefs.

This brings to eleven the total convicted on this charge, which automatically carries the death pen atty since the trials began yester- day.
 Testimony in the three cases in- brought out that members of the lodges of the Progressive Farm CTS and Household Union of Ameri- ca," were threatened with death unless they carried out the orders of their leaders. Negroes placed on the stand, admitting they were mem- bers of the union, declared the dis turbances resulted from orders of the union chiefs. They also assert ed the leaders had instructed them to come armed to all meetings.
 The negroes convicted today were Ali Banks Jr. and John Martin, charged jointly with the murder of w. A. Adkins. railroad special agent, when a small sheriff's posse, of which he was member, was fired upon from church the night of September 30; Joe Fox and Albert Giles, charged with the murder of James Tappan of Helena, member of posse sent to the section the following morning, and Will Word- low, charged individually with the murder of Adkins.
