TX debates on such questions as,
(which is more useful, the
COW or the horse?" Well, they
weren't a bit more futile than it
would be to try to pick the best
act at Keith's this week.
There are no less than five acts in
the bill which opened yesterday that
ran a dead heat for top-line honors.
And the subsidiary numbers on the
program are all OF the highest
standard.
Possibly the most heartily ap-
pIauded act was Ivan Bankon and
COmpany's dance fantasy, "The Dane
ing Master" Bankoff gave a really
remarkable exhibition OF Russian
dancing. while his partner. Miss
Phebe, was as graceful as she is
charming. Leon Domque displayed
concert abilities at the piano.
Then there was the always popular
Emma CarUs, who sang and talked
and danced until the audience nearly
got tired of laughing. J. Walter
Leopold accompanied her at the
piano. and took a part in some of
the fun.
The One Way Out" a play in one
act by Robert Garland, brought out
an originality of plot and a high or
der of emotional acting that placed
il in a class by itself Robert T.
Haines was thoroughly convincing in
the leading role, and he was ably sup
ported by Violette KimbaIl-Dunn and
J. Malcolm Dunn. Mrs Dunn, by the
way, is a Washington woman, the
daughter Of the late l. Kimball. jr.,
once weIl-kno~n Capital news

Felix Adler, in a straight "nut
act" was another who won much
lpplause-but no more than his two
assistants. who, by their garb, would
seem to be ushers at Keiths, one a
bov and the other a girl.
Frank Fay, in some songs and
stories, was genuinely funny-all the
more so because some Of his stun
wasn't Which sounds just about as
paradoxical as some of his jokes.
Dave Dryer was at the plano.
Ralph Smalley, the famous 'cellist

tions.
Challen and Keke, in the curtain
raiser, did some new and daring wire
stunts.

or Before June I, Is An
nouncement.

Washington, May 5.-That it is
President Wilson's intention to be back
in Washington by June 1 was admit
ted at the White House. Barring
unforeseen developments the president
for sometime, it was stated, has
counted upon being in America again
on that date. Also, it was learned,
1t is the presidents present plan to
call the new congress into extraordi-
nary session on or about that date.
If no contingency arises, he has de-
cided to issue the call from Paris as
soon as he is certain of the date Of
his arrival in the United States and
then in Washington in time to appear
before a joint session of the lawmak-
ers. These plans, of course, are entire
ly tentative and depend wholly upon
developments in Paris, White House
officials pointed out.

BEWARE OF RUSS CONTRACTS
American Business Interests Seeking
Concessions From Boishevki Not
Binding on Future Governments

Washington, April q. - American
business interests seeking concessions
from the bolShevik regime in Russia
have been warned by the state depart
ment that since the United States gov
eminent has not recognized the boil
sheviki such concessions probably will
not be recognized as binding on flu
ture Russian governments. "Rumors
that American interests have been
seeking concessions from the bolshe-
Wiki have been called to the attention
of the department of state" said the
announcement.
"As the government Of the United
States has never recognized the boil
shevik regime at Moscow it is deemed
proper to warn American business men
that any concessions from the bolshe-
vik authorities probably would not be
recognized as binding on future Rus
sian governments"

ALLIES ADOPT THE
NEW PEACE AGREEMENT
Sir Eric Drummond of Great Britain
Named as First Secretary
General

Paris. April 29.-The revised COW
enant Of the league of nations was
adopted by the plenary session of the
peace conference without division and
without amendment. The covenant
had been moved by President Wilson.
The president said it was not neces-
sary to emphasize the significance of
the great covenant and the hopes en-
tertained that a conference of the free
nations of the world would maintain
justice in their international relations
and peace between the nations.
President Wilson. in his speech ex-
planning the revised covenant of the
league of nations, said that Sir Eric
Drummond of Great Britain had been
named as the first secretary general
of the league
Sir Eric Drummond has been private
secretary to A. J. BalfOur. the British
foreign secretary since December.
1916. Previously he had served Sir
Edward (now ViscounD Gray in the
same capacity, while Sir Edward was
foreign secretary. From March, 1917.
to June, 1915, he was private secretary
to Herbert Fl. Asquith' then the Brit
ish premier.
Regarding the composition of the en-
ecutive council, the president said that
Belgium, Brazil. Greece and Spain
would be represented on the council
in addition to the five great powers
until a permanent choice had been
made.

ITALY ASKED To
RETURN TO PARIS
Nature of the Invitation Indicates,
That Orlando Will
Accept.
HAD TO YIELD TO JAPAN
Withdrawal of the Japanese Envoy
Would Have Broken Up the Peace
Conference-Have "Airtight"
Guarantees From Them.

Paris, May 5.-The council of three
sent an invitation to Italy to resume
her place at the peace conference.
The nature of the invitation is such
that it is believed that Italy will ac--
cept and that relations will be re-
stored before the peace treaty is de-
livered to Germany.
President Poincare presided at a.
meeting of the French cabinet. The
ministers reviewed from a broad as
pect the preliminary peace terms
which are to be handed to the Ger
mans, and then exchanged opinions
regarding the various subjects consid--
cred by the peace conference.
Why Wilson Yielded.
Fiume is not mentioned in the Ger
man peace treaty, and there is moth
ing to prevent Italy from signing that
document, leaving final decision of the
Dalmatian problem for the settlement
with Austria.
If Italy comes back this will be due
chiefly to the untiring mediatory eff
forts of Premier Lloyd George.
The peace treaty with Germany is.
now in the hands of the printer. The
last touches were put on it by the
'big three" Saturday evening. Presi-
dent Wilson is known to believe the
document will be ready to hand the
German delegates not later than Tues
day, though one strong version is this
will not happen till the end of the
week.
In the Is days which the Germans
have to consider the terms, the "big
FIVE" including, it is hoped, Italy, will
take up the matter of peace with Aus
tria, Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
If Italy does not return, the other
allies and America seem determined
to sign the peace with Germany with
out her.
See New League Opposition.
In some American quarters here it
is expected that China's vigorous pro-
test to the Shantung bargain, in which
Japan got what she wanted, mainly
on the threat of withdrawal, will add
1u6I 10 the uISS VI OppOSlIlOn dSdallSI
the league of nations which some here
expect to sweep the United States.
When correspondents pointed out at
American headquarters that China as
serts the Shantung settlement is
Numerically in conflict with the Will
sonian IA principles, one of our dele
gates said:
1--WE were up against the question
of Japanese following Italy and with
drawing, thus breaking up the confer
ence, or leaving the question to the
league of nations which, we believe
will have power enough to see that
Justice is done to China.
"Also, we have strong signed, air
tight guarantees from Japan in re-
gard to this"
Cables Up to Commission.
The distribution of the German
cables, one. of the "odds and ends''
that have occupied the "big three
lately, is to be left to an international
commission, it is reported.
Belgium's claims are said to have
been finally settled to her satisfaction.
Brazil, the "big three" decided, has
the same right as the United States
to retain captured German merchant
ships by purchase.

ENEMY MUST ACT
IN FIFTEEN DAYS
Permitted to Consider Treaty and
Make Proposals.
FOE ENVOY SHOWS YELLOW
Count Won Brockdorff-Ran Heat
of Enemy Peace Delegation, Al
most Faints From Emotion at
the First Meeting.

Paris, May 3.-The German dele
gates to the peace congress will have
fifteen days in which to consider the
treaty and make any counter proposals
they desire, it has been learned. They
may begin offering their suggestions
at any time, but no day of grace will
be allowed. Representatives Of the
allies, it was stated, reserve the right
to reply to any of the German objec-
lions or proposals at any time, but
the belief is expressed that no more
than five days or week will be re-
quired for closing the exchanges of
ideas.
While the date for the presentation
of the treaty to the Germans has still
not been fixed, it probably will be
Monday or Tuesday. Numerous de-
tails remain to be approved, but con-
sideration Of them has reached such
a stage that 1t Is reasonably certain
that the peace documents can be
whipped into shape in the next three
or four days. The ceremony of pres
entation will be in the presence of
only the delegates Of the governments
which participated in the war.
Still Regard Italy as Member.
The council of three is proceeding
with it's deliberations, unembarraSSed
by the absence of the Italian dele
gates. Italy is still regarded as a
member of the conference and invi-
tatiOns are being forwarded to her
ambassador for participation in the
conferences.
The Italian ambassador has been
formally asked to be present at a
meeting Monday when the organiza-
tion of the league of nations will be
considered.
BeIgium's Claims First.
Among the questions still unsettled
and which M. Clemenceau, David
Lloyd George and President Wilson
considered at two meetings is the
disposition of the German cables. 1t
is learned that the Belgian claims
have been finally disposed of or that
an agreement had been reached giving
Belgium priority in the reparations to
the amount of $5O0,000O00.
Foe Envoy Nearly Fants.
Versailles. France, May 3.-Pale
and almost fainting from emotion,
count Won BrOckdorffR antzau, the
German foreign secretary and head of
the German peace delegation, passed
through what evidently was one of the
bitterest moments of his. life Thurs
day. He was barely able to sustain
himself through the brief ceremony of
presenting the credentials of the dele
cations to a committee of the United
States and the allies and reach the
waiting automobile which had brought
him to the gathering.
The meeting took place in the
room of the TrianOn hotel previously
used for the sessions of the supreme
military council. Count Won Brock
dorff-Rantzau, on entering, was ac-
companied by Herr. Landsberg, Pro
fessor Schuecking and two secretaries,
and waiting for him the allied repre-
sentatives were grouped around Jules
Cambon, the former French ambas-
sador to Berlin, who is chairman of
the commission.
Other members Of the allies party
included Henry White of the United
States. Lord Harding, Great Britain,
and Ambassador Matsui. Japan.
