Special dance numbers were given by Irene Bontz and Helen Wheeler under the direction of Miss Mildred De Hart. Joseph B.

This was the third operatic per- formance given by this cholr and was highly successful in its appeal to the Interest of the audience. The choral numbers were well handled and well sung by the energetic young “sisters, cousins and aunts” and the “sailors.” Q| OCTOBER 26, 1923. SMUTS SEES LEAGUE WORLD ARBITER SOON Justifies Present Avoidance of Big Issues by Weakness Without All Nations. By the Associated Press. LONDON, October 26.—Gen. Jan C. Smuts, last night delivered another speech, in which he reinforced his previously the South African premier, s platn-spoken sentiments on the al-| leged effect the Franco-Belglan policy was having on the situation in Eu- rope. The occasion of the speech was a dinner of the League of Nations Union, given in honor of the visiting overseas premlers. Alluding to the status of the league, Gen. Smuts justified its avoldance of big international disputes on the ground that it was a small chilg and | there were a number of Herods walt. | ing to destroy it. He advocated | vaiting until the league had reached adult stature and represented all na- tions and not merely a majority of pace,” sald the premier, WHERE THE BETTER THINGS COST LESS M -BRADKS & CO hem. | “History is moving at a fearful “and very ! 2 soon the league may be tho only rallying point left for a distracted world; and éven its enemles may come to welcome its intervention.” Depicting what he termed the la- mentable conditions in Europe, the South African premier declared that, despite the gloom, he still belleved elementary hutan feelings and oym- | pathies eventually would come into |play. A great transformation already had begun. Gen. Smuts predicted that fascism, |like bolshevism, would fail and p laway and give way to the ideal the league of nations. —_— The women in Landes, Franoe, ars as skillful as the men in the use of stilts.
