ADJUSTMENTS By ESTELLE BETHEA HALE
CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN
 COMEDY-D AMA-TRIANON

Comedy comes in flashes and spurts in. Good References" Constance Talmadge's new picture, at the Trianon. The production is of the comedy drama kind with each coming at such intervals necessary to hold the spectators inter- est in both. Through it all there also runs fine thread of suspense. All along one feels certain that there is something just on the verge of hap pening that will be unusual in some way. and right soon there does come some ridiculous catastrophe.
 No sooner have the effects of this died away than the air again becomes charged <ith new expectancy, like wise to end in hilarious sequence of comedy scenes,
 The title of the play has more bear ing on the dramatic side of the picture than on the comedy. Constance Talmadee is an independent American n working girl unfortunately minus the necessary references. As it is q case of get your references honestly if you can. and if you can't get them honestly, get them, why she just-get's them. And that part of the situation nearly causes real trouble The comedy is found in her attempts to succeed as, a society secretary.

 After "festating the situa ton" of the League, MT. Root declared that it was well understood in 1919 and is well understood now that the other parties to the treaties would have been con tent to accept" the Senate reservations, adding: Several European nations all ready. have given notice of half dozen changes in the covenant which they propose to urge at a meeting of the assembly of the league next month. The only reason why the change is neces- sary to meet American views have al- ready been considered. MT. Wilson sim ply would not negotiate for them"
 At the outset of the address MT. Root said:
 q think a large majority of the American people earnestly wish for an organization among civilized nations through which the nations shall co-op- crate to prevent future wars, and that the United States shall do her full share in that organization. l certainly desire this very strongly"
 The principal objections to the league, MT. Root said, may be roughly classi- fled as follows:

 cation, Declares
 EIihu Root
By Associated Press

New York. October 19.-Elihu Root, in his only address on the League of Nations during the presidential cam paign, tonight declared that the treaty of peace with Germany would have Teen rstided and America would have been a member of the league of Presi- dent Wilson 'had been willing"
 INT. Wilson. however, was not will mg. He insisted upon the treaty ab- solutely unchanged" Mir. Root said, adding later in his spech
 T do not question MT. Wilson's be- liefs that the disposition of the treaty for which he was contending on May s1, 1919. were just and fair; but, with out disrespect, I do question MT Will sons infallbility; I do question the complete control of abstract justice in the processes by which the four men who dictated those treaties which un- dertook to make over eastern Europe reached their conclusions
 T have an impression that there was the accommod odation of conflicting interests the giving of something here to get something there; the yield ing of some things in order to avoid losing others, the shading of justice by expediency which has characterized such conferences since history began. I have strong impression that some 0; their conclusions were mistakes.
 And I think it most objectionable that the American people shall enter into solemn and positive agreement tt. guarantee and maintain by force of arms for all time the disposition of territory and sovereignty which these four men made In the year 1919.
 That is a part of what Article x unl deTtakes to do. It is an alliance to enforce perpetually through the opera tions of the league the decisions of Mir Wilson and his associates in the year 1919. It is an attempt to do what the Holy Alliance sought 100 years-ag5 with just as noble expressions of pur- pcse)-to impose by force the judg- ment of the rulers of the present gen eration upon all future generations" HARDING STANDS UNCHANGED
 Mir Root declared that I've shall promote the peace of the world by election of Senator Harding, whose stand on the Mague, he says, was unchanged from the time he voted fol ratification of the peace treaty and League of Nations with the Senate excavations. The election of Governor Cox. he said meant the effort to have the United States join the League of Nations without change as it was

 "Fourth-That the scheme created a super government which would destroy the independence of the United States ''Fifth-That the working of the plan under the covenant was so ar- ranged as to articulate with the consti- tutfonal government of the United States that under it the President alone could carry on the entire foreign af- fairs by means of his selection to the practical exclusion of the popular branch of our government"

LUTHERAN MEETING
 FORMALLY OPENED
Must Seek Contact With luth- erans In Other Lands, Says
 Church President
By Briggs
By Assoeiafetl Press

Washington, October 19.-Contact with Lutherans in other lands must not be hindered by events of the past few dent of the United Lutheran Church of America. declared in his sermon tonight at the opening session of the biennial con- vention here.
 There are Lutherans in many lands, ' he said land our United Lutheran them. We must not be hindered though nations are continuing strife and foment- mg new strifes. Christ alone can heal the hurts which have broken millions of hearts and which have broken hearts in one land from those in another"
 "The Lutheran church must and does have worldwide affiliations and mSer- ests,' asserted Dr. Knubel The relations ship to the other Protestant bodies was a problem which the Lutheran church must solve. he added.
 The full power of the brotherhood was pledged to the enforcement of the pro- tibiton law in resolution unanimously adopted, which also expressed satisfac- ton with what has already been accom- pllSneu. OLRef resolutions duOptcQ lD- cluded those urging larger salaries for ministers and >indorsing the work of the near east relief commission.
 An attack on internationa1ism was made by Gen. Edward Volrath of Ohio during the day session of the Lutheran brother hood.
 Patriotism IS not internationalism. ' he said. The socialist, the dreamer of millenniums in militant world, is out side the patriotic pale.
 The man who claims that the Eng lishman the Frenchman or the Japanese is as much his mundane brother as the man, that, with him. maintains the flag above him, is not patriot The interna- tionalist can never be patriot. for he has no country"
 John A. W. Haas. president of Mullen berg College. Allentown. Pa. in reply. declared. 'The problem of patriotism and rternationalism is not one of politics alone.''
 Ut is question of the kingdom of God" he continued, which declares that all people are of one blood. Patriotism without tolerance of other nations and the sense of our obligation to other na-
 tions is not essentially Christian.
 'I am opposed to the gun and powder Il cory of suppressing those who don agree with us"
 Charles J. Driever of Chicago was Neiect' ed president of the brotherhod for the ensuing two years and X. Hobby How righaus, also of Chicago, secretary.

THE HOUSE WITHOUT
 CHILDREN" AT COLONIAL

They have chosen an apt theme in The House Without Children" and one that will be certain of sympathetic audi ences. The play, however, loses some of the strength of its title in handling the subject rather too strongly. The idea is good and the story matter interesting, but the titles particularly are too direct.
 wife is represented as becoming so buried in society that she is unwilling to satisfy her husbands wish for the kind of, happiness only found in large, cheery families. Then the story makes radical move in rather holding her up as immoral in comparison to niece who has erred, but refused to be relieved from answering for her mistake with a fife This is for many new viewpoint and is about the most subtle touch m the picture.

reply to the Turkish objection to the
peace treaty made public here today.

fails to sign the treaty. The time
limit for Turkey to make known her
decision expires at midnight July 81.
Word comes from Constantinople

the signing of the neace treaty as a
lesser evil than the consequences of
a refusal to sign. Other members
of the cabinet urged a refusal. A
Crown Council has been called for
Monday to make a final decision.
The Allies have arranged to deliv-
er their reply which takes the form
of an ultimatum to the Turkish neace
delegation in Paris Saturdav after
noon. The Turks are informed that
they must signify their willingness
to sign the peace treaty within 10
days, failing which the Allied "owers
will take such acton as they NAV con-
slider necessary in the circumstances.
