potentiaries.

Plans for easing the terms upon which
Germany will be admitted to the League Of
Nations are being considered by the peace
conference heads. If Germany proves she
possesses stable government, signs the
treaty and loyalty executes it, she will be
admitted, according to the proposed plans.
Paris dispatches indicate the delay in
framing the reply to the German counter
proposals is due to the divergent views Of
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau.
President Wilson is said to be adhering to
his policy Of deferring to the British and
French in this matter, while the Italian
premier, Orlando, is still holding aloof,
leaving the settlement relative to Germany
to the other allies.

"HEARTS OF THE WORLD"
ANNOUNCED

D. W. Grifith's great production,
"Hearts of the World" proclaimed
the masterpiece Of this genius of the
motion picture, will be the attraction
at the Opera House at Abbeville for
two days, Friday and Saturday, May
9th and 10th. O..
From all accounts this latest of
the Griffith super pictures far excels
in point of drama and spectacle both
his Intolerance" and "The Birth of
a Nation," two of the greatest pro-
ductions in the history of entertain
ment. The fact that "Hearts of the
World" required more than eighteen
months in the making indicates that
Mr.. Griffith has prepared an unusu-
ally interesting and absorbing story.
The producer himself is anxious to
have it understood that ".Hearts of
the World" is not war play, but
simple love story amid the pictures
que villages of romantic France, re-

lating the everyday life in the homes
along the silver streams, under the
blossoming trees, over the roads
where the legions of Caesar marched
to conquest, and where Henry of
Navarro whispered his love tales un-
der easement windows. It is true
that the recent world war is shown
in all its many phases, but this part
of the story is reserved for the last
and is made merely a background for
the romantic and appealing story of
pure love and a wholesome ro-
nance. ....
Mr.. Grifith's production is one of
great historic value for not only
does he show such world figures as
David Lloyd George, former Premier
Vivianni, Winston Churchill, Gener-
al Joffre, The British House of Par
Lament and the French Cabinet in
session, but he brings every import
ant event of the war in bold relief
and accurate reproduction.
