Action on the treaty with Colombia.

FOR year, may be taken at the next
session of Congress as the result of
the report which a subcommittee of
the foreign relations committee has
submitted. and which has been placed
on the Senate calendar by order Of the
full committee. The subcommittee
was charged with the duty of draw
ing up an amendment to the treaty
which would protect American indus
tries in the Central American repub-
lie from any form of confiscation. such
as It was feared presidential decree
in Colombi would permit.
The report holds that such an
amendment is not necessary as the
Colombian supreme court has declar-
ed invalid the decree. and adds that
the people of Colombia seem inclined
to give full protection to the rights
OF United States interests there
The treaty was signed in Colombia
in 1914, but was rejected in it's orig
inal form because of clause express
ing regret over the division of Pana-
ma. the discussion creating much in
terest several years ago. 1t provides
for the payment of S25,0Oo,0O9 dam

short and his front legs and feet are
very stout and strong. They are
armed with long. very strong claws.
1t is with these and the help of his
big cutting teeth that Grubby digs
He throws the earth under him and
then kicks it behind with his hind

his front feet and head pushes il
back to a little side tunnel and then
up to the surface of the ground
AS soon as it is all out he plugs up
the opening and goes back to dig

out makes little mounds and there
is one of these every few feet. Do

No one did. so Old Mother Nature
continued. 1T is to loosen the earth
and mix with it the dead vegetable
matter so that the roots OF plants
may get it easily. BY making these
tunnels in every direction and bring
ing up earth to the surface Grubby
does the same thing. That is why
call him my little plowman. He
loosens the hard packed earth and
mixes with it the vegetable matter,
so making it easy for seeds to sprout
and plants to grow"

Hugh Ford Goes Abroad
To Cement Anglo Yankee
Friendship With Movies

Hugh Ford, director general Of the
European studios Of the Famous Play
ers-Lasky Corporation, sailed from New
York for Southampton and then to
London aboard the White Star liner
Cedric yesterday. The first picture to
be done by Mr.. Ford will be "The Sor-
rows of Satan" by Marie Corelli.
"My particular work." said Mr.. Ford,
twill be in assisting to establish a
British institution to develop British
talent and produce pictures with an in
ternational appeal. 1t is my firm belief
that motion pictures will play big
part in keeping up the spirit of friend
liness and good feeling between the
duction of such pictures.
"A complete lighting system has
been sent abroad to introduce tho
American idea, the possibilities Of
which have not been capitalized by the
British. They do not use the Cooper
Hewitt banks and the Sunlight arc is
a comparatively recent invention, so it
was necessary to send a shipment Of
these lights ahead Of US.
II am enthusiastic over the posi-
bilities Of the natural settings offered
by Britain in the springtime, and very
eager to get started. There Is no more
beautiful county in the world. Think
Of the beauty 81 a picture with back
grounds of true British architecture,
which is so full of tradition and ro-
nance, and it lies there waiting to be
put on record so that all the world
may see and admire. The proximity
to other countries with settings equal
ly romantic and beautiful is another
advantage not to be overlooked. 1t
does not take longer to go on location
to the south Of France than to 60 from
New York to Florida"
This is not the first time Hugh Ford
has produced in Britain. He produced
many stage successes in both London
and Paris. 1t is an odd coincidence
that just at this time the stage produc-
tion of "The Garden Of Allah" is being
prepared at the Drury Lane Theater.
This was one of Mr.. Ford's most sue
cessful productions in this country, His
first picture was "Thc Eternal City,"
with Pauline Frederick, which was
taken in England and Rome for the
Famous Players -Lasky Corporation and
shown five years ago.

Hard Task to Re-Creato
Lifelike General Grant
For Abraham Lincoln,

Deity applying dabs Of many
eolored paints taken from hidden re-
cesses of his makeup box, and ad-
justing the short, brown beard and
neat mustache on his smooth shaven
face and lip, Albert Phillips nightly
becomes General Grant, the character
ne portrays in John Drinkwater's
Abraham Lincoln" now current at
the Cort Theater. It is not a simple
task to recreate for present-day thea
tergoers great national figure about
whom there have been so many stories
told, conflicting and misleading often,
and around which there has arisen al
most a tradition, although Ulysses
Simpson Grant has not been dead so
long but that there are many people
now living who knew him intimately.
There is one theory of photography
the theory that in order to be good
photography it Is necessary to paint
out or remove all blemishes to make
gardless of their actual appearance in
life-which hindered Mr.. Phillips to a
great extent in his study of photo
graphs Of the great military hero be-
fore he was ready to attempt making
up for the role. He pored over the
photographs in the New York Public
Library; he received much assistance
from the curator of the Lincoln Mu-
scum in Washington, who has a prl,
vate collection Of photographs, and
much of the character and appearance
Of the general was cleaned from men
and women who had known him in
life. But great deal Of credit must be
given to the photographers, who, be-
cause they were unacquainted with
methods of making attractive photo
graphs Of unattractive persons or be-
cause they desired to produce true
likenesses, did not attempt to remove
any Of the facial characteristics from
their photographs Of Grant. That Mr..
Phillips, who spends much time each
evening in front of the mirror in his
dressing room in order to get as close
likeness to the general and Presi-
dent as possible, has succeeded is
shown by the compliments he has re-
ceived from men and women who knew
Grant, one of them being General
Nelson A. Miles.
One woman, now past the fourscore
mark, who knew the general in Galena.
Ill.,, his birthplace, thought that she
saw the general himself on the stage
New-York tribune., 1920-04-25

when she saw the character shrug his
shoulders in peculiar manner.
That's just the way Grant shrugged
his shoulders" she remarked
but the movement was an uncon-
scious one, one which had not learned
Of in my research. I had been told
that General Grant had a habit of
in getting into the proper position /
naturally moved my shoulders. That
accounts for her comment" said Phil
lips.
In the play some Of the members Of
Lincoln's Cabinet object to the assign
ment of Grant to a responsible position
because he drank.
Find out his brand" the President
retorted, $50 that I may send couple
OF barrels Of 1t to the other generals"
But Grant was not the drinker that
he is supposed to have been," said Phil
lips, "nor was he ever known to swear.
When General Miles was In to see me
after the performance one night he
told me he had never heard Grant use
any but the most proper language. He
also said that it was mistake to have
Grant drink the liquor that he does on
on the stage. Grant, General Miles
said, would not have taken a drop at
such a critical time. But there is no
doubt that the general was an inveter-
ate cigar smoker"
General Grant is the third military
role that Albert Phillips has been
called upon to play in the last two pro-
ductions that he has appeared in. In
"The Copperhead" he was captain at
the beginning of the play and colonel
at the end.
"Now l am general" he said. ~
