Nor was the more human side, his
love for his orphaned niece, neglected.
Miss Hamper added anew to her
laurels in her role OF Julie de Morte-

as Adrian de Mauprat, was splendid
example of the gallant of the early
seventeenth century, an era of de-
bonair gentlemen who fought hard,
diced and drank much, and loved
fervently. Henry Buckler as Joseph,
a Capuchin in the service of Richie

characters.

Trees herald the spring with giori-

Just what the London conference

At the opening of the week the news
was cabed from Fiume that D'Annun-
Zio was to hand over that city at once
to regular Italian troops commanded
by General Caviligia, former minister
of war, and that France, Great Britain
and Italy had agreed that Italy should
have complete sovereignty over Fiume
and that all the provisions of the pact
of London would be carried out The
alleged agreement was not confirmed,
and at this writing D'Annunzio is still
holding the city. The truth seems TO
be that he was asked TO give Ii up on
the promise by the Italian government
that it would be held by regulars, at
least until the Adriatic question was
finally settled. But a large part of his
garrison is strongly Directing to this
arrangement. His officers and soldiers
are living in luxury there, receiving
much higher pay than they would as
part of the regular army, and prospects
for work in Italy are bad. Consequent
ly they insist that they be permitted
to remain as the garrison, and the
| task Of ousting them promises TO be
| difficult.

ers, and last week it was announced
that the latter had agreed, admittedly
under government pressure. to discard
all their interests except those directly
connected with the handling of the
nations supply of meat. More than
billion dollars will be involved In the
disposing of the side lines the packers
have been handling, but it is stated
the bulk of their business will not be
affected. The "unscrambling" process
really began last summer when Swift
& Co. gave up their leather business
and their foreign business to new COM
panies.
Reorganization of the packers is ex-
pected to follow virtually the plan of
breaking up the Standard Oil company
and the method provided In the Inter
national Harvester company agree
ment in 1918. OF course, the primary
object Of the department of justice
in this is to bring about lowering OF
prices of foodstuffs Whether or not
this will be the result is uncertain. The
representatives of the packers were
noncommittal on this point, and many
persons were of opinion that there
would be tendency to increase prices
through abolition of the control that
now exists. If the process of unscram-
bling does no more financial harm TO
the packers than it has done to CAPT
talists in previous instances, they need
| not worry on that score.
