ENGLISH MANAGERS START

An English invasion is on. and phila :

America, for years, has led the
world with its chorus girls. both in

are using all possible inducements to

Cause Of Uncertainty
The feeling of uncertainty about the

due to the belief that IA great cxposi.

then he gave his message to Philadel-
phia girls.
"Wc producers cannot get enough
girls of the proper type and training
for all our large shows" he said "The
greatest shortage is in pretty girls who
can dance. One would think dancers
would be the easiest to find. with the
dancing craze continuing. but it is not
so. ] am willing to do all can to help
my English theatrical brothers out Of

of damaging my own productions.
philadelphia long has been noted for
the high average Of its pretty girls. Some
of the most famous coryphecs have
come from Philadelphia, but recently
there have been few applications. Just
now it's great opportunity for good
looking girls who want to go on the
stage and are willing to undergo the

LEAGUE OF NATIONS PICKS
PHlLA. GIRL FOR JOB
Miss Florence Wilson Is Selected to
Be Chief Librarian

Be Chief Librarian
Miss Florence Wilson, n Philadelphia
girl, has been given the appointment of
chief librarian for the League of Ma
tions. The appointment was announced
yesterday. Miss Wilson's home in this
city is at S05o Frankford avenue.
The selection can be considered dis
tinctive. as well as recognition of eff =
cheney of library methods. 1t is under
stood that Miss Wilson's work in cata-
loguing and filing with the American
Peace Commission two years ago, and
later in doing preliminary organization
work for the league, resulted in her
permanent selection when the league
convened at Geneva.
The outstanding feature of her work
will be the Development Of n complete
library. a work which will require re-
search in every country in the world.
and in which she will have control Of
many skilled librarians in Europc.
Miss Wilson's father was the late
Colonel William Il. Wilson. Of Frank
ford. She studied in Philadelphia
schools. later graduated from DrrScl In
stitut. and followed with library work
at Columbia University. In this city
shc lived with her grandmother. Mrs.
Margaret trich. and an aunt. Mrs. Il.
{. Sowcrby. at the trankford avenue
address. Mrs. Harrington rcase. of
Germantown. is sister.
Miss wilson will have among her as
sstants two former Columbia Library
associates Miss II. B. Keller and Miss
Alice Bartlett.

administration. This plan would not
be directed against President Wilson.
The new appropriations will not become
available until July l Of next year, four
months after President Wilson goes out
of Office. All that an amendment to
the army supply bill forbidding the use
of funds for an army in Europe would
do would be to cmbarrass President
Harding. The next President may not
be ready in four months after he takes
office to have all the American forces
out of Europe.
Harding Faces Task
President Harding will have n diff
cult task on his hands in negotiating
n new agreement with the foreign pow
crs. The general expectation is that
he will not accept the Versailles treaty,
even with amendments and rcserya-
tions. But IL It should be deemed bet.
ter, as ex Senator Root suggested in n
dispatch from Europe, to make the
treaty the basis of the association OF
nations, forced recall of tho Amcri.
can troops would be violation of the
treaty. 4 failure to appropriate for an
army in Europe would tie the new Pres.
idcntS hands in situation that is full
Of difficulties and complexities whose
outcome no one can foreSpe
TO leave the initiative for the with.
drawal of American troops in the new
President s hands is to lcayc the new
President free to work his way out Of
n delicate situation as best he can,
Moreover. unforeseen troubles NAV
arise in Europe which may require the
presence of American troops there.
The new administration has not
worked out its European policy. Ii will
not work out that policy until after
conferences with the leading Rcpub.
licans and with the Democratic scna.
tors, with the best minds in the coun.
try. according to Mr.. Hardng's pledge.
Then negotiations abroad will be ncccs.
Sary. In effect to order the return Of
American troops from Europe by July
l. is to tie the new Presidents hands
in advance. instead of leaving him free
and trusting him to carry out his
pledge for return of the troops as soon
as he can.

Senator Renews all His Charges
Against Opponent and Defends
His Own 12.Year Record In
the Senate.

Senator T. p Gore spoke to an i'm
mense audience on the county court
house lawn Saturday evening
The senator started his speech in
the usual way by promising to 1uave
the capital of the United States to
Chickasha if the people supported
him but If they failed to do this he
says he would move the penitentiary
and insane asylum to this place
That neither he nor the people
were responsible for the voters hav
ing to choose between himself and
Ferris but purely the fault of his op.
ponent in wanting to run for the sen
ate was brought forth by the sena-
tor. This was followed by cheers
and several dots right from the
crowd.
Referring to the right of suffrage
given to women, Senator Gore said
he was a supporter of womans suf
frage and wanted il now more than
ever, he said
The legislation which Senator Gore
said he had obtained relating to the
pre-war laws on oil and gas, he de-
clared, saved the oil companies mil
lions of dollars in taxes and in that
way saved the farmers like amounts
by not having the oil companies pay
the tax. He charged that his oppo-
nent let this tax go by in the house.
The senator made repeated warn
ings to the people not to believe any
thing that was said about him by his
opponent or believe anything that
they saw in the papers as hA charg.
ed that the press of the state was
under control of the Ferris forces.
In reference to the, Chase letter
and the deposit of the $1,000 in the
American National bank in Oklaho-
ma City, Gore stated that even
though the money was put up by
Jean p Day. the millionaire oil man,
it was real money just the same. He
made no reference as to the author
of the letter.
