LODGE NAMED AS
ONE us. DELEGATION
ON DISARMAMENT

Washington, Aug. 16-(By the
Associated Press 1.-The Senate claim
to a share of responsibility for the
foreign affairs of the nation was
recognized by President Harding
today by the designation Of Senator
Lodge, chairman Of the foreign re-
lations committee, as a member Of
the American delegation to the dis
armament conference.
Formal announcement Of the ap-
polntment was made from the White
House, where it was indicated that
the President felt he had formed the
nucleus of a balanced delegation by
choosing as the first members Sena-
tor Lodge and Secretary Hughes,
whose selection to head the Ameri-
can representatives was made known
several days ago. Other members
probably will not. be chosen until it
is determined definitely how many
places each nation is to have in the
conference.
Aside from Mr.. Lodges personal
qualifications the view was reflected
in high administration circles that
the significance of his selection lay
in the fact that he was in a position
to act as Official spokesman for the
Senate committee to which are re-
ferred international compacts re-
curing Senate advice and consent"
The President was said to feel that
it would be a great mistake, not to
oiNp tho Snnntn ioI i IL
the negotiations are in progress.
Whether other senators will be
named on the delegation is a ques-
ton which the President himself can
not answer, but it has been suggest
ed among officials close to the White
House that he might give repreSen-
tation to the Democratic as we'll as
the Republican side of the treaty
ratifying body. Should he decide to
do so, it is considered likely that
Senator Underwood OF Alabama,
the Democratic leader, will be asked
to serve.
nj congress today the Presidents
request for a 100000 appropriation
to pay expenses was given approval
by the Senate appropriations COM
mlttee and was reported to the Sem
ate for consideration tomorrow as a
part of the shipping board appro-
priation bill
BY state department officials vir-
tual decision was reached as to the
place of meeting here, and although
announcement was withheld, it was
indicated that the pan,-American
building had been chosen.
Meantime it was definitely and fin
ally disclosed that the American gov
eminent has no intention of paying,
the expenses of the visiting delega-
tlon a subject on which there has
been much speculation abroad since
the official invitations went forward.

that Maine clubs will be especially in

SPOKEN DRAMA PASSES
FROM SMALLER CITIES
Movies Partly To Blame-Drama
League Urges Amateur Effort
AS Only Remedy.

Chicago, April 2S.-A remedy for
the disappearance of the spoken drama
from asgreat many small cities, due to
a dmbinatioA Of motion pictures, high
railroad fares and general pncertainty
OF the theatrical business outside OF
few large cities, will be sought at the
eleventh. annual. convention of the
Drama League OF America opening
here tomorrow.
"a report on the-actHal condition OF
the one night stand made from a
survey of the country, will be given
ITO the convention Walter Pritchard
Eaton, a director AT tn league, said.
Travelling companies as we used to
know them, have practically been done
away with.
"A manager has been called in to
tell his side of the case, while how the
small town looks at it will be related
by Harold l.. Beign of Grinnell, la.
by its program this year the Drama
League frankly acknowledges the
need of amateur effort everywhere, if
the spoken drama is to survive beyond
the confines of the larger cities. At
its convention it is going to bring all
! Me help and encouragement it can to
i all those who are working for this end.
Many phases of amateur effort, in
GLIDING high school drama, religious
drama and little theatre circuits
planned to hep small local theatres
exchange plays and productions, will
be discussed, Perhaps the most inn
lportant Of all viii be reports On what
has been doing and can be done to
/ bring the spoken drama to the rural
regions.
How much the theatre has changed
in the past decade and how the inte-
rests of the Drama League are chang
ing with 1t to meet new conditions are
/ illustrated wildly in the program OF
this years convention. When the leag-
ue was organized. its object was to
Educate audiences" to support the
best plays in the theatre and thus to
encourage the tours of these plays
through the country"

If the European peasants we're TO
plant a greater acreage to bread grains
enc restrict vigorously the output OF
animal products, Europe would be able
to raise, outside of Russia, 100000
tons of bread grains, and the popula-
ton would receive in consequence
diet richer in bread and poorer in
meats and dairy products than before
the war. but still a diet that according
to human experience would be compe-
tent not only to maintain but TO I'm
prove the nutrition Of the masses OF
the continent. The efforts of the gov
sfTments usually instructed and
often grotesque,- have been TO induce
the peasant to plant wheat or rye, to
eeduce fodder grains and to limit ami
mal husbandry. Now the peasant does
not follow this argument at all; In
fact he does not understand 1t tech
nically. writes Alonzo Il, Taylor in
Saturday Evening Post. What he does
Understand is that he is asked to con-
duct his operations along the line Of
low profits as an act OF fidelity to the
state. When he looks about him to OBJ
serve the other classes Of society that
are conducting their several operations
along the line OF low profits as acts of
fidelity to the state, he falls to detect
anyone engaged in such practice. And
since the situation is revolving to the
innate sense Of the peasant, tie re
fuses.
