Italy's Aim Explained.


Ttaly's interests were described as
demanding the continued amity of
Brazil, to which country a siZable
portion of her surplus population emf
CRATES annually.
The representatives of the Latin
american members of the league met
again today to discuss the council
crisis. Afr'anio Mello Franco, the Bro
lillian repre- sentative, appeared and ex-
plained BraZilS reasons for adopting
her present attitude. The meeting
adjourned with practically all the par,
Elephants voicing the opinion that Bra
I'll would recede from her position in
response to the cabled appeal sent
from Geneva yesterday.
Up to early afternoon, however, no
reply had been received. It was an
nounced that as soon as it came the
council members Immediately would
be summoned i'll an informal session.
y public sitting of the council was
already scheduled for pm.
While the Latin American meeting
was going on, Sir Austen Chamber
lain, British foreign secretary, con-
ferred at length with the delegates
of the British dominions, going over
the whole situation and also, it is re-
ported, sounding the overseas repre-
sentativeS as to whether they could be
counted on to vote for Poland'S cleo
tion to non-permanent council seat
when the question comes before the
assembly.
Apprehension Aroused.
The action of Czechoslovakia and
Sweden in Offering to refrain from the
standing for reelection of their coun-
Gil seats next September has aroused
the apprehenSlonS of the Little En-
tente powers. These apprehesions
have given rise to a demand that the
great powers commit themselves to
support the candidacy of Rumania
after the September election, as the
leaders have forecast that Poland
and Holland may be elected in the
balloting for the replacement of
Czechoslovakia and Sweden
Another group of delegates has
launched a movement for the imme-
diate reelection of Sweden as a mani
festation of the assemblys admiration
for the courageous stand taken by
the Swedish foreign minister, NJ. I'm
den against any enlargement of the
council.
Another disquieting element in the
situation arises from Spain's disap-
pointment at not being granted a
permanent seat, her claim being put
aside. while Germany, Poland and
Brazil successfully were having their
troubles ironed out by the council.
The Spanish delegates have their

RUSSIAN COMEDY
CLEvERLY STAGED.
HIGH SCHOOL DRAMATIC ART
CLUB SCORES SUCCESS
IN THE PLAY.

"The Russian Honeymoon" a
clever three-act comedy was very
neatly staged by the Dramatic Art
Club of the Ely schools Wednesday
evening at the Washington Audit
orium before large audience.
The play depicted the variance
between the Russian nobility and
the peasant class and the overbear-
ing intolerance affected by the Off
cial class to the balance of the citi-
zenry. The main parts in the play
were taken by Harold Nisbet who
had the part of the egotistical and
foppiEh Koulikoff; Florence Ayres as
the Baroness Vladimir; Winifred
Cloutier as the fiery and unpleas-
able Valeska de Fermstein; ivan, a
master peasant shoemaker, in the
person of Charles Coad and Mich
elene, his daughter, played by Flor
ence Childers; Allen Clinic who
played Alexis Petrovich, the count
in disguise asd one of Ivan's work
men. To pick out those excelling
in their parts is too much of task
for us and we will say all showed
exceptional ability and carried their
rather difficult roles to the satisfac-
ton of the audience which fire.
quently stopped the performance
with well merited applause.
Others who had roles minor in
their character but needed to make
the grand whole were: Uro Hokkan-

Arnold Anderson, Lee Brownell,
Fred Church, Fannie Harri, Vienna

T. L. FOR ELY JUNIOR COLLEGE
FROM FORMER STUDENT.

The following letter was received
by Mr.. Santo from one of the for
mer students of our school.
sol Ontario Street, S. E.
Minneapolis, Minnesota,
January 25, 1926.
Dear Mr.. Santo:
Just a line or two to let you
know that we're still among the liv-
ing.
From all reports it seems as tho
the whole Ely gang" pulled through
OK. without any failures, ***. /
was pleased to know that the three
Obs" (Berglund, Beck and Bucco-
vich) pulled through. Erick made
some fairly good grades and Paul
and Albert seemed to have done bet
ter than expected. = AS far as the
girls are concerned there is no need
to worry about them.
If the gods of misfortune do not
throw any black crepe around for
the next eight weeks, probably I'll
be able to tell you how it feels to
be through. The other day /
filled out my diploma slip and if
things go along at the present rate,
the middle of March will mean the
finish. Maybe some of the skeptics
vino have no faith in the ]. C. will
be convinced that it is accredited
after all. From the few in my
course (accounting) they are get
ting through in March, most of
them have put in summer session
or so, so | can safely say that if it
had not been for the E. j. C. it
would not have been possible for
me to save these three months. - =
1t seems as tho the college bas-
ket ball team hasn't the Little Ten"
championship under their wing as
yet, but maybe as the institution
grows they'll give the rest of the
Range run for their money. More
power to them.
With my regards to the rest of
the faculty and the College in gen
eral, / still remain,
Sincerely,
George Somero.
