Revised League of Nations Cow
enant Meets General Approval
-Cummins FavorS It--Lon-
don Not Enthusiastic.

Washington, d. c., April 15.-Pre-
dicttons were freely made here today
that If h covenant for a league Of
nations, has been amended, as Paris
dispatches indicate, 1t will be ratified.

who opposed the original covenant. II

or course, much depends on action
Of the plenary session of the peace
conference in final ratification Of the
revised draft.
Senator Myers, Montana, who OBJ
jected to the league covenant origin
ally because it failed to safeguard the
Monroe doctrine, sees hope in the new
draft, though still in doubt as to the
exclusive right Of the United States to
regulate its immigration.
Senator Lodge was in Boston to-
day.
General discussion of the officially
announced amendments to the league
constitution, however, was still some
what guarded today. This was par
ticularly true of those whose opposi-
ton was based on objections which
may have been removed by the altera-
lions made in Paris. Ill.,
Want Questions Answered.
The generally expressed view among
the less extreme opponents Of the
league, however, was that the amend
ment probably will pave the way to
senate acceptance, unless some new
obstacles present themselves. The
nIaSfinnS which a nI1r1har re tho 90
senatros who signed the Lodge round
robin" against the league still wish
answered. include:
Are Germany and others of the CEN
trail powers to be in the league? ,
Will the b~olshevist government Of
Russia be recognized to an extent that
will let Russia into the Lacquer"
If decisions on grave international
questions must be unanimous to be
binding, what occurs when one nation
or more holds out and hangs the
jury?" would this disrupt the league
or lead to war?
Are purely domestic questions really
excluded from league consideration.
With relation to this last question it
was pointed out that n nation might
object to the domestic policy of an

migration and to get it before the
league, might create a situation, as
such situations nave often before been
created. threatening the worlds peace.
Then, senators asked, investigating
the causes or trouble, would not the
league in the last, analysis really have
to go into the purely domestic question
which was at the bottom Of the dis
pute?
Forecast Referendum.
1t is likely. senators said today that
before the United States becomes a
mandatory over any other people, AIDE
termined effort will be made to have
the American people directly, and not
simply their representatives for them,
say whether this country is willing or
unwilling to undertake such duties.

SpoI.ane. Wash, April 13.-Declar-
ing that the new draft of the league of

independence and is a shameful affront
TO peace, senator Miles PoindeXter has
issued a long statement against the
document.
The senator says in part:
so far as reported the constitution
still contains the provisions of article
IL, giving the league and tribunals Gre
,ated under it jurisdiction oyer every
international dispute, including immi-
grafton and everything else, whether
t%usticiable or on-justiciable, a pro-
vision utterly destructive OF American
independence. 1t is still, as President
Wilson has said. a supreme sacrifice
1T still contains the agreement to
guarantee the personal and territorial
right Of every nation of the league.

PRODUCE PURE KEROSENE.

London, July 4.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Not only coal oil but refined kerosene which may be burned in lamps is flowing rom the mysterious oil wells at Ramsey near Peterborough.
 The oil was first discovered nearly two years ago rising to the top of water wells in that town. After a thousand gallons or so had been col lected the flow diminished but two or three gallons were gathered from the top of the water each day until lately.
 On July 1 two of the wells showed a largely increased yield which has continued. As the oil was refined it was thought at first that it had leaked from some tankage station, but this has been disproved by geo. logists, and the theory is accepted that by some freak of nature the oil IS purified in the strata and then forced to the surface through the only openings available.
 The vicinity of the find has not been drilled by the prospectors who are now testing what are believed to be important oil fields in other parts of the Kingdom.

THAT CONSCIENCE FUND.

Director Clarence G. Badger says he is sure to always have faith in the honesty of mankind. This week he received a letter at the Goldwyn studios in which Was enclosed check for $8.5O, with the information that the writer had been trying to locate him for several months in order to repay loan of $5, made over nine years ago in San Francisco, when Badger was in the newspaper busi- ness. The man said he had greatly appreciated the loan at the time, and had taken the liberty of adding a lit- tie interest. Badger was so surprised at receiving the cheek that he at first did not recall the incident until he read the time and place and the bor- rower's name.

GERMANS SCHEME TO GET FOOTING
 IN OLD MEXICO
Comprehensive Plans Made for Gaining Trade and Influence
 in Republic.

Coblenz, June Correspond ence of the Associated Press)-The eyes of the commercial world of Ger many are directed toward Mexico, ac- cord1ng to German newspapers of recent date.
 With reference to Germany's pros pective trade with Mexico the Ger man Anzeiger which is devoted to the chemical industry says: "In Munich there was formed in 1918 a German Mexican society composed of educated people. The purpose of this society is to disseminate infor- nation about Mexico; lend impetus to the study of Spanish; bring about the teaching of the German language and German kultur in Mexican schools; induct Mexican salesmen to visit Germany; and induce Mexican youths to attend German universi- ties. In March, 1919, similar so- ciety was organized in Bavaria with a charter membership of 200 per- sons.
 '1n Renthingen there has been in- corporated the 'Almeco' founded by industrial firms, the purpose of the organization being to facilitate ex- change of raw products and other commodities between the two coun- tries.
 "Seventy-five per cent of Mexico's exports found their way to the United States which regards Mexico as it's warehouse. Of course those exports will now go to Germany. Dur first duty is to secure from Mexico large imports of raw materi als and not regard it as dumping ground for German goods."

DIVES FROM AEROPLANE.

Diving from aeroplanes is to be another feat in the repertoire of ex- pert swimmers if Annette Keller mans example be followed.
 This daring and expert swimmer, who Is being featured in the big spectacular marine phantasy, Queen of the Sea-" released by William Fox, went on flight in hydroplane with an aviator friend, off the Florida coast nea. Miami. Miss Kellerman conceived the idea of mak- ing the first dive ever done from an aeroplane. The machine was brought to within forty feet of the surface of the ocean. The feat was successfully accomplished by the Venus of the Sea-"
 Miss Kellerman's greatest dive was that done in Queen of the Sea- from q tight rope eighty feet above the ocean.

GEORGE CONVINCED PARKER.

George Williams, who has been seen in number of pictures lately, among them being "The Busher," in which Charles Ray is starred, had an unusual experience few days ago. He went into bank, across the street from Grauman's theatre, to cash check. The cashier asked him, if he had anything with which to identify himself. He had no lodge receipts, nothing on his person. Then a happy idea came to him, Its just noon" he said to the cashier, "If you will just take minute to step over to Grauman's, you'll see me in that picture, and my name announced. The cashier accepted the invitation, and Williams check was cashed a few minutes later.

THEDA GETS TIGER SKIN.

Before hearth in Theda. Bara' $ home in New York lies great tiger skin, with most ferocious looking head This skin IS recent gift to Miss Bara, sent by English officex in India. It measures ten feet six inches from the nose to the tip of the tail, and is beautifully striped.
 The English officer who writes to Miss Bara for himself and his com rades states that he has admired her productions in India; that her pie lures have enlivened many a lonely evening for the English residents there and that the officers had re- solved to send her the skin of the next tiger slain. This animal, man. eater, he stated, had spread terror among the natives of that section.
 The officers reuested that Miss Bara send them autographed photo- graphs of herself, which the Fox star has done. She is exceedingly proud in the possession of this jungle mon- arch.

VIRGIN ISLAND
 FOLK ARE GLAD
 J. s. OWNS FEM
And No Wonder, Uncle Sam Makes Up Deficit, and Leads
 to Better Things.

St.. Thomas, Virgin Islands, July 5. - -(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-These islands have been ma terially developed in some ways since they were purchased by the United States from Denmark less than two years ago. Now that peace has come the islanders are looking for ward with great hopes of further de- velopments i'm the future especially with regard to the harbor of St. Thomas.
 The islands are under the control of the Navy department and the ad- ministration of the naval officers and their relations with the local legis- lature, called the colonial council, have won the friendship of the in- habitants. The revenues of the islands are not sufficient to meet their requirement and the navy de- partment has appropriated annually $200,000 for public works and the general upkeep of affairs. Coupled with the frequent visits of Ameri- can men-of-war and the spending of much money by the forces stationed on the islands, the naval authorities have endeavored to give aid in every way.
 Natives fill public positions where possible and many are studying and preparing for any other opportuni- ties that may offer. The hospitals have been improved and remodeled by officers of the Navy Medical corps and the American Red Cross has provided furniture and fixtures. Young native girls are being trained as nurses. A start has been made in teaching useful professions to pupils of the public schools. Better sanitary conditions and a proper water supply are being furnished.
 The present governor, Admiral w. Oman, has held receptions to which all classes have attended. The peo- pie have American soda fountains and restaurants and the national game of baseball has supplanted the English game of cricket There are three bands composed solely of na- tives. Wartime prohibition is in force. n
 Generally the islanders are show ing lively interest in American ideas and customs. Evidence of this is the enthusiastic celebration of such national holidays as Decoration day and Independence day when the people join with the authorities in patriotic exercises such as saluting the flag, parades and other celebra- tions unknown heretofore.
 The same laws and methods of governing the islands as under the Danish regime still exist Lack of change i'm this respect is attributed to the war. There is some dissatis- faction and agitation among local po- litical aspirants who want American laws and customs to be extended to the islands. More conservative men do not. share in this agitation but trust that the necessary changes will be made in time, when congress has decided what form of government the islands shall have.

ERECT WHOLE STREET.

One of the most solic and true to detail settings probably ever con structed for motion picture is the huge street scene occupying over three acres of ground at the Goldwyn studios in Culver City. This feat of massive construction is being used in the Geraldine Farrar feature produc- tion, now being directed by Frank Lloyd.
 To show the solidity and weight of structural achievement this work is built on solid concrete foundations with heavy timber throughout. The street proper has been graded, oiled and covered with light gravel The sidewalks are laid with cement. The walls of the buildings, several of which are over 50 feet tall, are cov- cred with genuine plaster, button lath being used. This style of lath is used only for permanent build ings and construction men wonder at its being used by the Goldwyn company. But the results on the screen are highly gratifying. The colossal setting on the screen cannot be told from the real, and when one views it in daylight, it looks as if part of city had been transplanted to the Goldwyn field.
 Friday the big street and building entrances were populated by over 2,500 extras. There were mob and soldier scenes, and general activity which made the place look like the real thing A battery of still and motion picture cameramen, with many assistants to MT. Lloyd, to- gether with the hundreds of street vendors, business men, citizens, and other necessary players, made the day rather exciting one.

INSURES DOG FOR $2,5OO.

"Dixie," a full blooded Scotch collie who comes from Greensboro, N. c., recently joined the Vitagraph players at the studio in Brooklyn. He is unusually bright and well trained and already has appeared in several scenes with Alice Joyce in "The Winchester Woman" and Gladys Leslie in Belinda Puts Her Hair Up." The collie is the property of Mrs. Joseph Purgh, and, while he is not for sale, he draws a handsome salary for his mistress. The use of the dog was obtained only after Vita graph had agreed to keep him in- sured for $2,500. This was arranged by cable with Lloyds of London.

CAMERA CATCHES ACCIDENT.

Will Rogers and his company of Goldwyn players, under the direction of Clarence G. Badger, have returned from . trip to the Sacramento river country where they went to secure steamboat and river scenes for the second Rogers production.
 An amusing incident took place during the trip when one of the col ored boatmen fell into the river and nearly drowned, much to the concern of his dusky brothers, who fished him out after great deal of trou- ble. The accident was luckily cap tured by the camera, and will lend a touch of realism and comedy to the Rogers picture.
