ALDERMEN, STOP THIS
Help Your Constituents BY Abat-
ing a Nuisance.

The Chicago City Council owes 1t
to the million Of people who attend
moving picture theaters in Chicago to
put a curb on the people who disturb
others In the audience by carrying on
conversations while the play is on
the screen.
These know-it.alls and leather
lunged idiots are to be found in every
theater in Chicago, to the annoyance
of everybody else.
The Chicago City Council 20 years
ago, on the initiative of Alderman N.
M. Plotke, passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting women from wearing hats in
theaters and thus obstructing the
view of other people.
The smart Alexis laughed at this
ordinance at frst-especially the
smart Aleck daily press-but the city
enforced It and today 1t is the rule in
every theater in America.
A good healthy fine for takers dur.
ing acts in Movie theaters would
conserve much wind that is used now
to annoy respectable theater patrons.

Speaker Gil1ett today sent the follow

Mr.. Wilson's request that the Hous
postpone its recess set for. today:
To the President:
I have received your letter Of this
date expressing the wish that Con-
gress should not recess at present.
l presume it is in lieu of the or
binary methods of communicating
your views to Congress and Will
cause 1t to be read to the House.
I regret that you did not arrive
at these conclusions sooner and adj
wise us when the subject was under
consideration by Congress some
days ago, as, of course, 1t will now
interfere with many perfected
plans. But, II, as intimated in your
letter, you expect soon to recon-
mend to us important legislation. 1
have no doubt that the House Will
be glad to await and consider the
proposals you are preparing
As to railroad legislation. I sup
posed by an act of Congress you
had now full authority and one Of
the reasons Of our recess was that
the committee of the House might.
uninterrupted by the business Of
the House, prepare the legislation
which will be necessary when your
authority ceases.

Action Of Peace Conference.

The overturn of the Bella Kun re-
gime at Budapest has been impending
for some time. The peace confer
ence. as it made clear in a recent
statement. had found it impossible to
deal with him because of his failure
TO keep armistice agreements. Like
wise II regarded his rule as not truly
representative of the Hungarian peo-
pie.
These facts led the peace confer
ence, through its president, Premier
Clemenceau. to issue an appeal July
26 to the Hungarian people to substi-
tute new government Of Bella Kun,
pointing out that the lifting Of the

could be brought about only with a
government which represents the
Hungarian people and not with one

representatives of the allies were
sought out in vienna by representa-

position was made clear. COmn1uni-
cation with Budapest was kept up Ny
wire and Bella Kun was brought more
, directly into the negotiations at a
late period when he Travelled from
Budapest to the Austrian border and
met there the Hungarians who had
been consulting the allies in Vienna.
The military situation in Hungary
worked in with the desires of the
