One more development in the
struggle, however. must be noted
because It illustrates wildly the
concern OF secret diplomacy not
only with political and territorial
expansion, but--far more impor-
tant--with immediate economic
exploitation. Although nothing
was settled regarding Turkey
though no peace had been made, Il
suddenly emerged in the secret
councils. May %, that powerful

WOMEN ON JURY DUTY.

Six men and six women jurors in
Trenton, n. j.. were locked up for the
night In one room. They spent most
OF the time playing cards. All the
women were married. Some Of them
had children. The husbands at home
had 10 attend 20 them. Much the same
thing happened in 81. Paul. Mirn.,
where seven women. five Of them mar
ricd, and five men were locked up to-
xether. The husband OF one OF the
women expressed himself so strongly
in court that he narrowly escaped
citation for contempt. At that he was
probably expressing the opinion OF
most men. These things do not prove
that women should net have her
rights. They may, however. indicate
that she does not yet appreciate
exactly what they are.-Public Ledger

THE MOST SECRET
MEETING.

These extracts are from .rs,~
minutes taken at an in 400,
formal gathering of the %.
Big Four on March 20, :.
1919. They had not !,
been formally organized
as the Council of Four and
their first official meeting
was on April 10, a month \
later. The March 20 ses-
sion was held in Lloyd Georges
fiat, not at Wilson's house.
The minutes were never bound
in with the official secret vol
umes-they are probably less
known than any records of the
Big Four. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss Turkey
and the Near East.

The French hated 10 yield and
Clemenceau's final acceptance OF
the British proposal was not given
until Feb. ia month after the
Peace Conference meetings began.
The difficulty lay in drawing the
new line OF demarcation. The
French still wished to retain all
the hinterland OF Syria: while the
British insisted that the line
should run far enough TO the
northwest TO give them the oasis
OF Tadmor and complete control
or line OF railway (to be builD
passing through Il between Bag
dad and the port of Haifa on the
mediterranean. In short, they in
sisted on having railroad line

of influence. else In case OF war
their oil supplies from Mesopota-
mia might be held UP by the
French. On this point the trans
action was still hanging lire when

Three Day Run for Feature Picture.
The story OF Love Never Dies"
which is scheduled for a three day run
at the America Theater starting to-
morrow lives up to its title Lloyd
Hughes. the leading male player, has
the role of a successful. self-made en-
gincer, who finds his home life brok-
en- up by rumors that center upon
his supposed mother. From the tangle
he frees himself by severing himself
from all former SURROUNDINGS; but the
ties that bound him to his wife are
too strong to be broken by such a step.
A spectacular train wreck features
in h early part of the story. and
has Its counterpart in the thrilling
rescue of n drowning man from the
waterfalls in the last reel of the film.
1t is in the evolution of this climax
that the leading characters find the
solution to their problems and happi-
ness.
Madge Bellamy, who plays opposite
Lloyd Hughes. is petite and pretty.
Both she and Mr.. Hughes are sup
ported by a worthy cast that includes
Claire Mcdowell, Winifred Greenwood,
Joe Bennett, Fred Gamboal, Frank
Brownley and Julia Brown
The story was adapted from VIII
