QUESTION CAUSESHEATED
 DEBATE IN DALI
IRepublIcan A. P. Leased wireI

DUBLIN. Dec. 1.-The question of ratification or rejection of the Irish agreement made at London was de- bated today at a public meeting of the Dali and later at two secret ses- sions. Another secret session is to be held tomorrow.
 At the public meeting, Eamonn de Valera, the president and Arthur Griffith. Michael Collins, and other Dail deputies expressed their views as to whether the Irish delegation to London had exceeded its powers in signing the agreement with the Brit ish cabinet.
 De Valera and members of the del- egation were sharply divided on the question. De Valera contended that the treaty should not have been signed without is having first been referred to the Dublin parliament; Delegates Griffith and Collins insist ed that they and their colleagues had the power invested in them to sign an agreement, but not the authority to conclude it MT. Griffith asserted that the representatives of the Dali Eireann and of the British cabinet were in identical positions, as each was obligated to refer the treaty to their respective legislatures for rati- fication.
 Both MT. Collins and MT. Griffith resented a statement of President De Valera that the delegation had not obeyed the instructions of the Dublin | cabinet.
 T have been called a traitor" ex- | claimed MT. Collins. Let the Irish l people decide whether I am or not" Speculation over the possibility of a serious rift in the two factions cen- tered in the secret sessions. The first lasted from 1 until D. m. Then after a recess, the deputies reassem- bled at 4:30.
 The secret meeting was confined to animated discussion of how far the 1 plenipotentiaries were justified by their instructions in signing a treaty with Great Britain, without having re-submitted the treaty to President de Valera and his cabinet.
 MT. Griffith, quietly. and MT. Col hns, with some heat, in the public | session, resented any suggestions that they had failed to carry out their
 instructions or that they had exceed
 ed them.
 ! The opinion among members oi
 the Dail tonight on the question oi
 acceptance or rejection seemed more
 evenly divided than had been ex-
 pected. All apparently were ir
 agreement that ultimate responsible ity would rest with the country.
 It is considered possible that the
 members of the Dali. after having ex-
 pressed their individual opinions will refer final decision to the cleo
 tors among whom all indications seen to point there is a large majority il
 favor of the treaty.

Those who know her best have al
ways claimed for her a musical in
stinct bordering on genius; one of her
accomplishments being an ability to
sing and play a song perfectly from
memory, having only seen the music
once. In addition she is said to have
an unusual gift for improvisation.
Early in her career she found great
relaxation in the composition of ra g
time and syncopated music. later
turning to more serious considerations
A great aid to her in improvisation
has been this remarkable memory,
since she is able to retain every detail
of n composition in her mind while
devising it, and from a purely tech
nical point of view it is invariably
found that her compositions are cor
rect when the time comes for tran
scriptions.
When America entered the war Miss
Case composed a song which she
called Our America" This piece, in
the nature of a popular anthem, has
been played by Sousa and his band
and sung by many concert artists as /
serious patriotic number.
Her latest effort is called Song
of the Robin the Inspiration of which
she received one bright May morning
while breaklastinS on the porch of her
summer home at Mamaroneck, N. Y
Before finishing her meal she went
to the piano and composed the melody
based on the robins notes and wrote
the words directly afterwards. A week
later she sang the song to Il publisher
in New York and it was accepted at
once

agree that Thomas Meighan is one of
the foremost stars of the screen today.
The story centers around the village
of Canaan where Thomas Meighan is
one of the poor class and not allowed
to associate with the so-called better
people of Canaan. He goes away TO
school and comes back a lawyer and
then things begin to happen in Ca
naan.
All thru the story runs a thread of
love that balances the action of the
play and makes it one of the most
enjoyable pictures seen at the Or
pheum for a long time. The pretty
Doris Kenyon plays opposite Meighan
as leading lady. For the last half of

From a moral standpoint. the serial can
not be said to have any good effect what
ever, despite the fact that the villain is
always beaten in the end and that the Yir-

things have no recommendation whatever

Storm" was a senior at Columbia,

Charles T Lewis. the Indian in the
play, was an engineer for many years
before he appeared on the stage. Be-

employed in telling the story, there is
also an invisible company of twenty

the wonderful scenic effects, which
add so much to the success of this
