Its farsighted creators under
/ stood that in each individual
there was desire to give express
sion to his or her emotion in a
more or less degree. And to curb
and direct these emotions in the
right channels would be a great
step towards advancement to the
cultural side of life, thereby in
creasing a keener appreciation
and more tasteful enjoyment of
dramatic literature.
With such a noble purpose the

brought into existence. 1t was
received with hearty welcome in

MRS. BERGDOLL
DEFTES GOVERNMENT
Refuses to Vacate Home as Ordered BY
Alien Property Custodian
Claims Shes Sick.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. In spite
of the fact that she was ordered by the
alien property custodian to vacate her
mansion at Fifty-second street and Win
nifeld avenue by noon yesterday, Mrs,
Emma G. BergdOll still lives there and
defies the government to put her out.
Yesterday was the last day of the 10
day time limit given the mother of the
notorious draft evaders, Grover and Ed
win Bergdoll. to vacate the property,
which was seized last May by the gov
ernment. as was all property held in
Growers name.
Callers at the "castle" yesterday were
informed that Mrs. Bergdoll was very
sick" because of the strain ON her
nerves. A few minutes later Ma" sup
ported by two nurses. came to a window,
and there said that her eviction from her
home, which may take place today, is
not worrying her in the least. She reit-
Grated her statement. incorporated in a
pamphlet she has written, that her eject
ment would be an answer to the question
whether the "Old World exploded and
discarded theory that might is right shall
again be established"
Government agents representing the
alien property custodian will probably
arrive here today from Washington to
serve Il process of eviction upon Mrs.
Bergdoll and order her to yacate the
premises Immediately.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.--One May day

phone operator, Mrs. Mildred Eothrop
Without waiting to dress, Mrs. Lothrop
went to her switchboard and. while the
water rose about her, warned those with
telephones to flee from their homes in the
valley. Her son begged her to leave, but
not until the water was above her waist
and the shelf of the switchboard was COW
cred did she wade in water up to her neck
to safety. Just after she left the building
it collapsed.
For that act the national committee of

The partridge and woodeock season

so all hunters must be careful what they
shoot during deer season. The town
clerks have plenty of the new law books
for free distribution to license holders
and everyone who has not already gotten
one should do SO at once and study it
carefully. as there are many changes in
the law this year. Anyone who had one

spring and has not already exchanged it
for the regular license should do so at
once DO il before the deer season opens

NO HITCH FOLLOWS
PREMIER'S SPEECH
No Undue Stress ON Allegiance Issue -
Commons Sustained Premier BY Vote
of 489 to 43 - Military Action Would
Follow Break In Negotiations.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Peace negotiations
between representatives of the British
government and delegates of the Da1l
Eireann were resumed at the othclai
home of Prime Minister Lloyd George this
morning Michael Collins and Arthur
Griffith, representing the Dali Eireann
arrived in Downing street at II o'clock.
1t was said they went there in response
to n message from Mr.. Lloyd George.
The meeting lasted 30 minutes and alter
which il was stated another committee
meeting would be fheld later
Inquiries in Irish quarters today
showed that Mr. Lloyd Georges address
before the house of commons last night
had done nothing in the direction of pre-
cipitating a hitch. Mr.. Lloyd George did
not force the allegiance issue more
strongly than in the past.
Premier Lloyd George achieved another
of his Oratorical victories last night when
the government obtained It's expected
mandate from the house of commons to
proceed with the Irish negotiations. The
TniOniSt motion cenSuring the govern
ment fol initiating the Irish negotiations
was voted down, 439 to 43.
The premier, alluding to the negotia-
tions, in the course OF the debate sand !:
Il cannot conceal from the house the
possibility that l may have to make the
grim announcement that it Is impossible
to settle without danger and dishOnor.'
He said that if the conference broke
down the first thing the government
would have to do would be TO ask the
house considerably to strengthen the
forces of the crown. He also assured the
house that no agreement was possible
without the sanction of the imperial par
lament. Mr.. Lloyd George said he had
received guarantees that no arms would
be imported into ireland during the truce.
SO far as the UniOniSt protest was
designed to draw informa tion on the pro-
ceedings of the conference, it failed. The
premier gave no information on what has
been decided or is being discussed regard
ing Mr. De Valera's claim to independ-
ence and the rumored attempts to arrange
concessions from Ulster for a united Ire
land. These remain in the realm of
speculation.
One piece of information the premier
did give. 1t was that unless something
happened within a few days presumably
in the conference, to solve the unsettled
status of Ireland's two governments, steps
would be taken to give to the Ulster par
lament the powers necessary to make it
4 real government.
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that the time
to question the negotiations was when he
first proposed them to the Sim Fein by
public correspondence last July. Much
of his speech was devoted to holding be
fore the commons the prospect of a re-
newal of guerrilla warfare if the confer
ence broke down.
