Comment Regarded Impracticable,

However. senators regarded perth
nent comment as impracticable. in
view of the absolutely contradictory
reports, day after day. of hazy and
indefinite statements, and because of
the belief and suspicion, almost reach
ing conviction to many. that the for
eign censorship is initiating against
the dissemination to this country Of
all the facts upon which intelligent
comment here should be based.
Todays dispatches spoke again of
Japan's intention to submit to the
league of nations commission an
amendment meeting Japan's demands
for the recognition of racial equality
in some formal expression in the COW
enant. The form reported differs in a
degree from previous accounts,in in that
the acknowledgment of racial equal
ity would seem to be required for
national travelling or residing in the
foreign country. 1t is pointed out
that so far as the United States is
concerned. that equality is now rec
ognized by solemn treaty between
Japan and the United States. 1t
might be argued, then, that there
should be no objection to including
it in the covenant of the league of
nations.
But the dispatch makes the disturb
ing statement that the Japanese do
not accept the view that the treat
ment of foreigners and discriminat-
ing immigration laws are purely mat
ters of domestic economy. This is
thought here to be an error. as the

Will be paid the difference between
the wage they are now receiving,
which is s272 a day. and the normal
wage of $3.5S after the passage of
the next deficiency bill by Congress.
This was revealed in a report made
by Joseph H. Hurley, chairman of a
special committee, at a meeting of
the City Employees Association in
Cadet Armory Hall last night.
Mr.. Hurley said that Engineer Com
missioner Kutz had assured him that
although a 20 per cent reduction in
wages was necessary now. the differ
ence between the present wage and
the normal wage will be made up to
the men when the next deficiency bill
is passed. Commissioner Kutz, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hurley. has ordered
that instead of lowering salaries in
the departments of the District gov
ernment under his Jurisdiction the
heads of departments cut down on
their acquisitions and economize in
other ways. In this manner the men

HOPEFUL OF CHANGE

Senators Reassured by News
Commission Will Discuss
Covenant Amendments.
REPORTS SHIFT QUICKLY

! Senators who are trying to follow
the swift, Kaleidoscope changes in the
situation at Paris as reported from
hour to hour were reassured today by
dispatch which said that the league
of nations commission will meet Sat
urday morning to consider and discuss
proposed changes in the covenant of
the league. The latest previous news
they had received was that President
Wilson was standing pat" and there
would be no changes.
Then they were upset again by an
other dispatch which declared that
President Wilson, Lloyd George and
Clemenceau had locked horns over
reparations and boundaries in the
general peace treaty and that for the
moment the league of nations was of
secondary concern.
Pertains to Monroe Doctrine.
But the account which attracted the
most attention here was the Associ-
ated Press dispatch which sald that
Lord Robert Cecil and former united
States Attorney General Gregory were
seeking to draft a provision relative
to the Monroe doctrine in such form
that it will meet the approval of legal
experts. The last they had heard from
Lord Robert Cecil was his opinion
that it would be unwise to make an
exception as to the Monroe doctrine.
Senators were concerned today only
as to whether Lord Robert Cecil and
Mr.. Gregory were engaged in revis-
ing the Monroe doctrine to make it fl
the covenant of the league of ma
tions. or revising the covenant to
meet the requirements of the Monroe
doctrine. At any rate. they made
v7rv face at the idea of a British
statesman tinkering with the Monroe
doctrine in any phase of undertake
ing.

AMUSE MEkTS.
Al the Odson.

The musical comedy. Darkest
Americans" was ably presented AT
the Odeon last night by whitney
TUFTS Smarter Set Company. the en-
tire cast Of which was composed OF
colored singers and dancers. The action
covers a varied and extended territory,
for the travels of the company IN
search Of the lost president OF a COL
lege make up the motivation OF the
play. Two colored boys start to enter
Howard University. a negro college.
One Of them is mistaken for new
professor and tries to carry out the
deception. The dean Of the college is
lost and the new men are commits
stoned to find him. Their search
carries them to many parts Of the
world. making them participants in
many humorous situations. The char
acteristic songs, and humor Of the
colored people find large expression in
the play. which was altogether pleas
ing and satisfactory to the fair-s sized
audience.
Unlike most organizations Of negro
actors the Smarter Seta confines its
efforts strictly to the music. dance and
humor Of the colored race. making 1t
the best negro organization on the
stage today. The production Is heavy
and almost lavish, the cast handsome
ly costumed and the chorus more cap
able than any that has been here this
season with strictly white productions.

Under the Greenwood Tree" with
Elsie Ferguson playing the stellar role,
vas seen last night at the Strand.
To the theater-g going public of Amer
lea this play may seem dignified and
farfetched but nevertheless the out
door scenes are beautiful and an ado
quate cast supports the truly beauti-
full actress. Eugene O'Brien, who plays
opposite Miss Ferguson. does some
commendable work in the picture.
Under the Greenwood Tree" centers
about Mary Hamilton, a mistress Of
several million pounds, who tires Of
society and her ENJOYABLE suitors. She
buys a caravan OF some gypsies and
invites her suitors to visit her in the
forest and become gypsies as herself.
They come, but that Is not the life for
them, so after one day of gypsy life
they leave the camp. Mary gets rid
Of these three, but Jack Hutton sees
her in her gypsy garb and instantly
falls in love with her. Mary makes
Jack believe that she Is a thief and he.
believing her to be real gypsy, tries
to persuade her to give up the rowing
life, and become his wife. That night
the real gypsies steal Mary and in
Jacks efforts to save her he Is knocked
unconscious. Mary is saved by friends
and they bring Jack to the camp. There
the mystery Is cleared up and Mary
leaves the life OF gypsy to become
Jacks queen.
