which read: "The council of Ambas-
sadors is unanimously of the opinion
that The list should he delivered to the
German government by the charge
daffairs of France in the name of the
allied powers as soon as possible"

sion Of the question today the am
bassadors took the view that the en-
tire question is now up to Germany

should await the action of the Ger

An audience that crowded the CO.

and played by cast that in every
detail was entirely competent.
Marrying Mary" was repeated at a
matinee this afternoon and the best
performance of the show will be
given tonight before what promises
to be capacity house. AS is usu-
ally the case with amateur produc-
tions the performance improves with
every presentation and tonight S
show will be free from any slight inn
perfections which were noticeable the
first night.
The plot of the play is unusually
entertaining. John Gibson expects to
become heir to large hotel property
but he had told Buckskin Ben, the
man who has the settlement of the
estate, that he is married man. The
Westelner appears unexpectedly and
it is up to John to produce a wife.
The hotel porter, Minnie, the cook,
and the housekeeper come to his res
cue. All three appear before Buck
skin Ben as Gibson's wife. The COM
plicatons come. thick and fast until
Backskin Ben discovers that John
is really not married but is deeply in
love with his (Ben's) niece Mary, the
charming village school teacher. So
it all ends happily by John getting
his bride and the estate also.
The play is interspersed with songs
which introduce large and well
drilled chorus. The scene of the play
is I'M sthe flower garden of "The Glib
son House" and is very attractive.
Miss Lillian Richards as the Quak-
er girl gave rarely fine performance

Miss Richards he sang with fine effect

specially fine bit of work.
Mrs. B. f. Doyle was excellent as

Because scientists have found that
though they place a female moth in

scentproof, the male moth always
will find its mate, they have been
of a system similar to wireless tele-
graphy. A Vapoorer moth in a sound
proof box will attract the male of it's
species from all directions. 1t has

racer and in THE Dancin' Fool"
where he was a jazz king, was real
pleasure for breezy Wallace Reid. He
likes to drive fast automobiles and

his last picture, as he expressed it,
nearly drove him nuts He had to
lie in bed and play sick for three of
the six reels. And Wallie hasn't had
a sick day in ten years.

to the picture, he's just shamming ILL

ted the operation of the eight-hour
law enacted by the Liberal-Soctalist
Eden government has Just recon-
mended that the law be suspended

length of the working day should be
made dependent upon mutual
agreement between employers and
employees and that some provision be
made for longer working hours I'M
der certain circun1s stances.
The committee was unanimous in
finding that the expectation that
the measure would encourage in
dustry on the part of the workers
has not been realized. It reports
that in no single line of work have
the employees shown any greater eff
f1ciency or energy. that there has been
a considerable decline in production.
It says that several big plants are on
the verge of closing down because
they can not be made to earn profits
owing to heavy charges for increased
housing facilities for workers. high
