VICTORY IS seen
FOR 4.POWER PACT
IN j. s. Senate
Vote on Pact Growing Out of WASH
ingtOn Conference is Fixed for
March 24th-Complete Vie.
tory Is Seen.

Washington, March Is. Agreement
to the proposal for a final vote on
ratification of the Four-Power Treaty
week from Friday marks the col
lapse of the campaign TO defeat the
Arms Conference pacts.
The high-water mark of the anti
treaty movement today was twenty
nine votes-counting everybody pres
ent. The flag will go down with
iwenty-eight voting mo- on ratifica-
ton, four short of enough.
The hopelessness OF the fight be-
came manifest early today.
The anti-treaty crowd had hoped for
the vote of Senator Park Trammel Of
Florida, Democrat He send word that
there was no foundation for the rumor
that pictured him as weakening in his
support of Senator Oscar W. Under
wood, an arms parley delegate, and
asked that he be paired in favor Of
ratification. The treaty foes thought
Senator John B. Kendrick of Wyoming
Democrat. might be converted. He,
like E. S. Broussard of Louisiana.
Democrat, another forlorn hope, has
promised to support the treaty.
So one by one the possibility OF
making up the missing three or four
votes faded.
Had the country manifested any
positive distaste for the treaties half
dozen of those who were late In
making up their minds would have
come over, but the country remained
apathetic.
The Senators were left practically
to decide according to their own Opin-
ions and party loyalty prevailed over
the arguments off the irreconcilable
leaders on the Republican side, while
a fourth of the Democrats went with
Mr. Underwood.
1t is a curious fight in the retros-
pect, for the balloting on the various
amendments shows that if the Demo-
Gratis had been united the treaty would
have ben defeated, or that if the Re-
publican irreconcilables had remained
a unit the same result would have
been brought about.

Packed houses of interested specta- tors attended Polls extra fine bill yesterday, with Bessie Barriscale, be- loved by thousands who have seen her only as one of those silent figures of the cinema adoring her for her beauty and pleased by her for the profound joy and pleasure that her entertain ing conveyed.
 She had an extra fine act with a good cast, and a group of supporters who served as an excellent foundation for making Miss Barriscale the pin nacle of the entire company. Her en- ticing sketch was called The Right portrayed, it would be hard to decide which was the right lone, knowing that the girl underneath was Bessie Barriscale.

LYRIC

Bobby Barry, the funny little com e!edian now making Bridgeport laugh at the Lyric theatre while he stars in Maids of America is the son of the famous Irish comedian Billy Barry. To the theatre goers Of 20 years ago Billy Barry is well rem membered as the co-star of Hughey Fay, the team be- ing known as Barry and Fay They won nation wide .enown for their in imitable comedy characterizatonS at that time.
 Like father-lihe son. is apt1y illus trated this week for Bobby is a ''chip of the old blocI1'' and is the second edition of the once famous Billy Barry Bobby was starred for a number of years with Al K. Hall and today is considered even funnier than Hall and that is saying a great deal. Probably Bobby's size has something to do with his drawing power as his is a little mite in statue but long on fun If your system needs a- laugh, go and see Bobby Barry is the prescrip- ton handed out by "O1d Doc as laugh prescriptions are the only kind he dispenses. Many thousands have already seen Maids of America" Ihls week and from all remarks it is the best purlesque show ever seen in this city. Bobby Barry is well supported bv a. big comedy of funmakers and the costumes are gorgeous while the dla- Ioge is all new and clean.

Thanks. Cousin Joe.

Mr.. j. l.. McDade, of Dumas, Texas,
has just written to mail us IA two-dollar
check to be applied to his subscription,
and we pause here moment to pass
him our thanks. He is the kind of
steady subscriber we like. His note,
which will be found of interest, reads:
Dear Old Banner: Am sending you
50. We are all well and doing nicely.
Having some cold weather, but not bad.
Still dry; we haven't had a rain since
the middle Of June-but are making
plenty to get by on. Cotton did fine
here A few of the farmers planted
small patches to see If it would grow.
We put in gin, and ginned fifty y-four
bales There will be big acreage
planted to cotton another year. Love
to all - and come to see us next
summer
Dumas is situated in the far north
ern portion of Texas, perhaps 130
miles west of Oklahoma and 100 miles
east of New Mexico. We would judge
it to be less than a hundred miles
north to the Oklahoma line. We sus-
rect Mr.. McDade has desirable home
and pleasant surroundings-and all
tEat-but as he is native of BOssier
Parish, Well bet we know Of a certain
old place in the parish-where the old
two-story frame house sits on an e.e-
vation overlooking the public road, the
sandy -loam soil of which has produced
many bales OF cotton, many bushels OF
corn. peanuts by the wagon load, car
loads of fine watermelons. and every
thing else. where there are springs of
fine freestone water, where the or
chard is always large one. where hos
pitality always abounds--the scenes of
which often are summoned to memory.
That's fine old place. Cousin Joe, and
you ought to come back to 1t and to
Bossier Parish oftener than you do.
Thanks for sticking OH with us as a
subscriber. Also we are sensible of
your invitation to visit YOU next sum-
mer and would like to do SO If the time
could be spared from the job here.
