NE|EU'T]RALS WANT
PART IN WORLD
LEAGUE PLANS
Contend Society is For All
and Desire Hand in
its Forming.

Paris, Jan. 2o.-The decision that
the league Of nations will be outlined
and organized by the belligerents
alone is understood to be the cause of
some dissatisfaction among the neu
trails who arr already informally dis
cussing the matter among themselves.
Whether any, formal action will be
taken by the neutrals to voice their
protest is not yet known but among
some Of them there Is said to be
feeling that it would. be neither fair
nor dignified that they be afterwards
asked to subscribe a covenant in
whose making they had no part.
The neutrals. it is understood, do
not claim participation in the discus
sion Of peace terms because they
took no part in the war, but they
contend that a league Of nations is an
international institution Independent
of the war, and that, therefore, no dis
tinction should be made between
b~elligerents and acknowledgements. 1t
is also pointed out that among the
neutrals there were several countries
whose anti-Gerrnan feelings were as
strong as among the Allies. but that
owing to geographical positions and
other factors they were forced to re-
main neutral.

At the Lyric

Capacity audiences enjoyed the Keith bill at the Lyric Monday evening and every act received much applause and proved pleasing and entertaining.
 Frank Shields, the western novelty, opened the bill with a sensational offer ing featured by marvellous lariat throw ing.
 The lively trio, Ed Slim, Blanche Kliass and Phil Sake, were accorded a most enthusiastic welcome and their work proved so pleasing that they were com pelled to respond to many encores.
 The feature attraction of the bill is "Bozo" Snyder, who is featured in the 'Piano Movers" "Bozo' is ably assisted by Harry Mills and Fannie Palmer and all the fun revolves around the famous tramp "Bozo." "Bozo" never speaks a word while he is engaged in moving the piano, but he makes the audience un- derstand and incidentally keeps it laugh ing all the while.
 Ben Deeley proves just as pleasing as ever in his black face entertainment. He presents "The New Bell Boy" as- sisted by Barbara LaMarr and Billy De- Vore Deeley is of course the whole show and he doesn't fail to provide ample entertainment.
 The three Weber girls in a vaudeville surprise close the programme with an excellent offering. They begin their num- Der with a clever song and then work into amazing and wonderful acrobatic and tumbling entertainment.
 The news pictures form the usual pleas ing feature of the programme.
 The new bill is well balanced.
