The text was in English, as had been decided upon at a recent meeting be- tween President Wilson. Lord Robert
 Cecil General Shuts and Premier Or lando.
 AS some Of the members of the commission do not speak English, 1t
 was determined to defer full discussion until the French text could be pre- scented when the debate will proceed
 article by article. This will probably be tomorrow night.

BAYS THEATRE.

The screen production of inc famous drama, "A Squaw Man was shown q the Davis thHatre on Monday to capacity hous7s. pathos huror, wide x divergent scenes, wonderful cllarac- fer delineation, thrill and suspense- these are the ingredients of a drama that can not grow old, which. indeed, seems even better today than it did when first presented to the world in stage form. A cast of such uniform stellar excellence that it is difficult to choose between the individual bem- kCrs, has been selected and the hand Of the artist is seen throughout the direction. Elliott Dexter plays Wynne- gate with great realism, while the other roles are artistically portrayed by such artists as Jack Holt, Edwin Stevens, Katherine Macdonald, Ann
 Little, Noah Beery, Thurston, Hall, etc.
 Wallace Reid the popular Para mount star scored a big success in
 his latest photoplay Too Many Mil l ons, on it's presentation as the sec end feature on the bill The picture is one of the most enjoyable seen here this season.
