 Reggie finally interests a promoter in Lillums and she signs 9 big contract as a star, after Reggie has shown to her that he will not talk love until she has made her success. Lillums makes her bow

This condition" the letetr says, "Is
brought about entirely by the inhuman
Treatment and exploitation of these
workers by heartless employers, some
of whom, if not entirely the worst and
most heartless, are members of the
Porto Rican legislature. Conditions
are so bad, that to save them from
a continuance of this living death, the
government should take charge of
the situation in the strongest pos

BITTER EFFORT IS
MADE TO SETTLE
TREATY QUESTION
(BY Associated PreSsl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28-Before
senate leaders are ready to throw up
the sponge and admit that further
compromise negotiations on the peace
treaty in the bipartisan conference
are futile, they will make another eff
fort tomorrow to overcome the stumb-
ling blocks found in Article x and
the Monroe doctrine.
While the whole par1ey threatened
with collapse by the wide gap between
the Democratic and Republican con-
ferees on the two issues involved,
they agreed to grant breathing spell
over today SO that they may take an
inventory of their compromise stocks.
If the conferees fail to draft COM
promise the floor of the senate prob
ably will be the scene of another en-
bittered fight on treaty ratification.
In answer to the Democrats expressed
Intentions of carrying the treaty back
to the senate chamber in lieu of a
compromise program, the Republicans
declared that nothing could come Of
such a move as the senate would re-
sumo it's old lineup and sit tight.
But for Article X and the Monroe
doctrine provisions, senate leaders de-
clared they would be able to reach a
quick settlement of their differences,
as practically all other points of con-
tention have been agreed upon tenta-
lively.
In reaching agreement on the other
questions, it was pointed out that
both sides gave ground, the Democrats
accepting some of the Republicans res
ervations without change, while the
Republicans agreed to changes in 9th
ers as requested by the Democrats.

Treaty Absurd, Says Count
Apponyi, Writing Answer
(By Associated Press)

BUDAPEST, Tuesday. jan q. -
Count Albert Apponyi Is engaged in
writing Hungary's answer to the terms
of peace submitted at Neuilly by the
peace conference. He said today
there were many clauses which were
of fulfillment.
There are 60 absurdities in the pro-
posed treaty. One of these takes away
all our wood and iron ore while an
other demands that we give wood and
ore to the Austrians. What affects
our people most is the loss Of terri
tory AS for the economic conditions
we know we can never fulfill them so
they cannot matter so much. If q
man asks me to pay thousand dol
lars | may do so but if he demands a
billion | know ] can't comply and so
should not worry"
The depressing effects Of the treaty
are evident in Buda Pest. Wines are
not served at hotels. flags are half
masts and St. Stephens Crown on the
Royal palace has been draped in
black.
