Loyalty Comply With
Foreign Treaties

CAPE TOWN, Union Of South Africa

the coming election in the Union of
South Africa developed considerable ex-
element to-day throughout the union,
there being every indication from the
happenings of the day that the cleo
ton would be an exceedingly hard
fought one.
Both the South African-Unionist
coalition, the party OF the present
government. led by General Jan Chris
rlan SHUTS, and the Nationalist party,
which supports policy Of separation
from the British Empire, put up can
dldates in almost every possible con-
stituency. feature Of the nominal
lions was the large number of three
cornered contests developing, in which
the Government party, the Nationalist
and the Labor party are competing
General SHUTS, in his latest speech,
expressed confidence that the govern
ment would secure q good working
majority, while the Nationalist leaders
declare themselves confident of COM
ing back stronger than before.
Among the few candidates returned
unopposed are John Merriman. General
Hertzog, Patrick Duncan, Sir David
Harris and Deputy Speaker Edward
Booth. General SHUTS and all the
other Cabinet ministers, also most
OF the leaders of the South African
party, are having contests.

Federation of Central
Nations Formed

SAN JOSE, Costa RIGA, Jan. 16.-De-
cision to sign q convention creating a
federation of Central American Re-
publics has been reached by the Cen
trail American Union Congress, in ses-
sion here. This step, which seemed
almost impossible because of opposi-
ton to Article 49, the most bitterly
debated section Of the proposed treaty,
resulted from an agreement by all the
delegations. Article 40 stipulates that
each member nation of the federation
will continue Loyalty to comply with
the terms of treaties with foreign
governments, but that if extensions to
those treaties should imply new de-
marcations of territory a new Central
American Union conference will be
called to consider the changes pro-
posed.
Several reservations were added to
the text of Article 40 to meet objec-
tions from Nicaragua, and these reser-
vations have been accepted by the dele
gates of other nations represented at
the congress. The Bryan Chamorro
treaty between the United States and
Nicaragua was one of the principal
points at issue, and it was shown that
pact did not violate or infringe upon
the rights of other Central American
nations

'Theater Prepared
For Wilson's First
Public Appearance
Arrangements Permit Him

Ascending Steps, a Feat
His Condition Forbids

From The Tr:bume's Washington. Bureau
WASHINGTON. Jan. 16.-The first
public appearance of President Wilson
will be in Washington theater where
speclal provisions will be made for en-
&Dhng the Chief Executive to avoid
much of the embarra that
might attend his efforts to walk with
out assistance other than his cane.
All arrangements had been made for
the President to witness the produce
ton at vaudeville theater here last
week, but combination of inclement
weather and fear on the part of Mrs.
wilson and DR.. Cary T. Grayson that
Mr.; Wilson might not be equal to the
task prevented the carrying out of the
Plans OF the ambitious theater owner.
WI. wilson is known to entertain a
great desire again to display publicly
his ability to go about unaided, and
he believes that his appearance in a
crowded theater would be the best set.
ting for return to normal. The
president also desires again to attend
services in the First PRESBYTERIAN
Church, but the fact that entrance to
the edificc is only gained after mount
ing number of steps is expected to
operate against the fulfillment of this
desire until the patient has regained
more control Of his limbs
The plans made by the Washington
vaudeville manager for the Presidents
attendance last week provided for the
Chief Executive to enter by side
door, on a level with the first floor Of
the playhouse, and thence to proceed
to box on the same level, making I'M
necessary any effort on the part If
Mr.. Wilson to mount any steps. In
this theater the Presidential box is On
the mezzanine floor, reached by mount
ing two fights Of stairs, an undertake
ing the President is not yet equal to.
The inability Of the President to use
his limbs to the extent of mounting
steps resulted in the installation of an
elevator III the Presidential yacht May
flower, at a cost Of $4,000, some
months ago when sea cruise was
considered as means of fastening
the Presidents recovery. This plan
was abandoned, however, when the
White House physician became con-
WINGED that any attempt to remove M.
Wilson from Washington might result
in a setback in his progress.
The fact that President-elect Hard
ing will not need the elevator resulted
in a corps of Navy Department car
penters and mechanics rem owing the
Mayflower's elevator recently at an
additional cost of $4,000.
