PUTS WORLD COURT
UNDER FIERCE FIRE.
Mrs. MediII Mccormick Or
ganizing to Defeat Protocol
! in the Senate.

Following in the footsteps of her
husband. who was perhaps the most
active of the 'irreconcilable" group in
the Senate, Mrs. Medill Mccormick is
engaged in a campaign to do her ut
most to defeat the World Court
protocol when il comes up for ratifica-
ton in the Senate next December.
The widow of the late Senator from
Illinois has revealed her plans to some
members of the Senate and, in brief,
she hopes to arouse public opinion
on the subject so that some of the old
fire which animated the opponents of
the League of Nations will come back
again.
View of Court Opponents.
Mrs. Mccormick activities have
been remarked upon by one or two
Senators who are in opposition to the
court created by the League OF Ma
tionS, and from the information re
ceived here il would appear that the
opponents of the court are afraid the
protocol will be ratified if the project
is allowed to drift along without public
discussion as to its alleged dangers
TO America
The Coolidge policy, as understood
10y the opponents of the court, is to
let the matter run along without much
debate until December and then let
the vote be taken, the theory being
that if the public isn't particularly
aroused over it, the protocol will be
ratified by the necessary two-thirds

View of Court Opponents.
Democrats win Urge Adoption.

The Democrats, of course, will pre-
sent an almost solid front in favor of
the court and will not have more than
1wo or three DIRECTIONS. The Repub
licans are divided. Many of the SEN
ators who are in all other respects
pro-Coolidge are embarrassed because
they oppose the court protocol and
want to go along with the President,
TOO. Their plan. therefore, Is to pro-
pose reservations in the hope that the
court protocol will be so amended as
10 strip it of the features to which
they object. If unsuccessful in their
fight for reservations, however, these
opponents are doubtful whether they
should vote against the World Court
protocol or record themselves in favor
of the project with the excuse thal
they favored some court instead of II
court at all.
Narrow Margin Is Noted.
While the advocates of the World
Court protocol at present have the
necessary two-thirds, the opposition
feels the margin is SO narrow that it
can be overcome. Hence the activity
of such prominent women as Mrs.
Medill Mccormick. The late Senator
from Illinois felt very deeply about
the World Court. Although accused
during the Democratic administration
OF DelnS partisan IN MS OppOSltlOn TO
the League of Nations, he soon dis
proved this by continuing his fight
during the Republican administra-
tions of Presidents Harding and
Coolidge. If he were alive today he
would be campaigning from one end
of the country to the other in the
hope of arousing opinion in opposi-
ton to the court.
Mrs. Mccormick Strategist.
His widow was herself active in
the suffrage campaigns of several
years ago and is an experienced
speaker as well as a shrewd strategist
on political questions One of tn"
Senators with whom she is reported
to have conferred is said to have re-
marked afterwards that he had rarely
heard a more convincing argument.
The friends of the World Court
have organized throughout the coun-
try. Mrs. Mccormick hopes to offset
this by organization work, too. The
details of her plan have not yet been
announced, but it remains for
woman revive the old 'irrecon-
ciIable group" decimated in numbers,
but capable of a strong fight.

Colleen Moore, as the chosen head OF
the movement launched by the Camp
Fire Girls to stamp out the use Of
the term "flapper" and encourage the
name modern " as being better suited
to designate the young women Of to-
dag, is considering ways and means
to bring this about.
Since Miss Moorc's acceptance Of the
invitation of Mrs. Oliver Hartman,
president of the Camp Fire Girls, to
head the nationwide crusade against
the Objectionable word, hundreds Of
letters and kilograms containing sug-
gestions have been sent TO the popular
screen star, long called "the perfect
flapper."
Some Of the suggestions made to dis
courage the widespread use Of the OBJ
jcctionable appellation ape as follows:
/. Social boycotts against any young
men using the undesirable term after
they have been educated to the fact
that it is undesirable.
>. Indignation meetings, at which
debates. pro and con, on the subject
are a feature.
3. Organization Of Modern" clubs
throughout the country.
4. Appeals by club members to
newspaper and magazine editors TO put
the word out of print. and to producers
to put it off the stage and screen.

'The Dark Angel" the picture
headlining the Palace program this
week is said to be one Of the most
interesting love stories ever filmed.
The direction was in charge Of George
Fitzmaurice and particular comment
is made on the smoothness Of the ac-
ton and easy continuity.
"The Dark Angel" is taken from
II. B. Trevelyn's stage play and tells
the story Of contemplated marriage,
interrupted, after compromise, by n
soldiers call to arms. In a conse-
quent battle he suffers the loss Of
his eyesight and, believing it best to
give the girl her chance at happiness,
allows himself to be reported ms dead.
In time his best friend. who has fal
len in love with the girl. seeks him
out and returns him TO the arms Of
his sweetheart.
The story has its opening among
the elite of English society and there
are many novelty insertions that af.
ford relief from the drama proper.
Among these latter are n masque ball
and society fox hunt that are each
commented on because of the elaborate
costuming.
The action Of the story is swift and
exciting while ut the same time keep
ing the spectator primarily interested
in the outcome OF the love affair.
