STUDENT PLAYERS ARE TO PRESENT
 DRAMATIC CRITIC

The organization known as the
 Student Players, a group of Miss Clarke's pupils who provide unusual plays and programs for clubs,
 churches, and various charities, and
 who contribute of their funds as we'll.
 During the war they were active in Bridgeport and elsewhere in provid- ing benefits for. the Red Cross The entire proceeds of their June recital the year America entered the war were given to their own city'S Red
 Cross and their most recent contri- button was made to the American Legion's club house on Golden Hill street. Before the war turned all in- terests into patriotic channels, when the needs of our own city absorbed the attention of public spirited citizens. the Bridgeport Hospital called to the attention of Miss Clarke and her group of players the need of new ward at the hospital. The quaint old morality "Everyman" was in rehear- sal at the time, the young thespians were quick to respond to the pressing want and the proceeds of the inn pressive 18th century play became part of the nucleus to provide the new ward at the hospital. Many other plays in their repertoire have assisted our charities in their good works, and while always ready to give their services whether in plays in entire programs. or in individual
 numbers, the Student Players reserve
 a part of their fund for an evening
 of pleasure and benefit to themselves
 and others interested in acting as ar
 art, and secure for a lecture during
 the winter someone of unquestione6
 authority in matters pertaining to the theatre. Last year Walter Pritchar6

 ''YOuNC VISITERS" NOW MARRIED

London, Jan. 9-Miss Daisy Ash- ford, author of ''The Young Visiters," a book written during her childhood which has attracted much attention during the last few months, was mar ried at Chelsea yesterday to James Devlin, with whom she was associat- ed in national work during the war.
 Daisy Ashford came into promin- ence in Great Britain and this coun- try upon the publication last spring of .r"The Young Visiters," a novel written by her when she was nine years old The novel, which was presented with an introduction by Sir James M. Barrie, was thought to be the work of Barrie by many well known critics and the literary con- , troversy of the year ragged around its authorship. The Barrie theory was exploded by the appearance of Miss Ashford herself, now woman in her thirties, in a public reading of The Young Visitors" in London.

Gompers Played Big Part
CHANGE OF POLICY ON
THE PEACE TREATY
NOW SEEMS IMMINENT

Washington.-Pos OF SUB
stantial break in the Democratic peace
treaty ranks in the senate impelled
influential Democratic senators to
move for o caucus to discuss a possible
change in party policy, and revived
the hopes of the Republicans that the
treaty might be ratified with the Re
publican reservations adopted at the
last session of congress.
On the Republican side it was as
serted that twenty-five Democrats,
only a dozen short of the number re-
uuired to insure ratification, had sig
nified willingness to quit the lead
of President Wilson and take the Re-
publican reservation program as it is.
This total, the administration chiefs
declared, was exaggerated, but they
conceded that were vote taken at
once on the Republican resolution OF
ratification, it would command more
than the seven Democratic votes 1t
got last November.

WILSON MAKES UNEQuIVocAL
STATEMENT OF HIS POSITION
ON THE ADRlATIc QUESTION
He Is Opposed To Forming Agree
ments Without The Participation
Of The United States

Washington.-President Wilson's re
ply to the entente premiers on the
Adriatic question has been dispatched
by the state department.
Officials still declined to discuss
the contents of the communication, but
it is known that in his exchanges with
the premiers the president has made
an unequivocal statement of the Amer
lean governments position, especially
with regard to forming of agreements
without the participation of this coun'
try.
1t is understood that in his latest
note the president does not return pre-
cisely to the arguments and decision
announced in the note of December 8
which formed the basis of the Adriatlc
agteement to which the United States
subscribed, as important events which
have occurred in Fiume since that time
are said to have necessitated modifi-
cations in some respects to meet the
changed conditions.
However, the president is said to
have refused to agree to the terms
of the settlement arrived at by the
premiers and sent to Jugo-Slavia as
an ultimatum.
