. UNRATIFIED PACTS PRESENT PROBLEM Council of League Analyzes Long Delays Prior to Ac- tion by Governments. GENEVA (#).—The vast discrepancy between the number of signatures to general international conventions and the number of ratifications of these con- ‘entions is one of the unsolved problems ©of the League of Nations. At every Council and Assembly ses- sion this bugbear thrusts ur its head and is rewarded with a few lusty blows of the tongue. But it continues, de- spite denunciation, to interfere seri- ously with the business of making agreements effective. The League Council at its recent ses- sion attempted to analyze the causes for long delays between signatures by rlfnlpounlllrin and ratifications by he governments at home. Lack of ratifications has nullified many treaties, some of which were signed with great enthusiasm. ‘Among causes for delay the Council found: Lack of time available in Par- liaments, constitutional systems of the countries, necessity for new national legislation before certain conventions can be put in force, relationship be- tween certain convention and other con- ventions which have been signed, but are not in force. The Council suggested the following measures for hastening the process of ratification: More attention to the :'r!plmmry work of conferences which rmulate general conventions and few- er conferences, meetings of signatory states to ask each other why they have not ratified, insertion in conventions of a time limit within which ratifications [ wmnance avouveen ] DANGES AND BAND | PROGRAM SUCCESS Thousan‘ds Atténd New Type Entertainment of Army Unit at Monument. Thousands of Washingtonians gath- ered on the Monument Grounds, where the Sylvan Theater with tall poplars marking the outlines of its proscenium arch on either side and only clouds {and the dark shadow of the monument itself above, was the scene of an un- - | usual program for the National Capital |last night. The United States Army Band, Capt. W. J. Stannard, leader, established what is an innovation in this city by combining dance numbers with purely instrumental selections. ‘The idea seemed to arouse marked enthusiasm and to hold the attention of the audience much more than is customary at Summer outdoor band events. It is well known that in New York City in the famous Lewisohn Stadium, the New York Philharmonic- es‘:l“n;'n'mny Orchestra has had very suc- ful results in programs given with the Denishawn or the Duncan dancers.

One, danced to a march of Mendelssohn, was of the type that has become identified with Mary Wigman, the noted German exponent of the mod- ern dance movement. Both leaders of the Tchernikoff-Gardiner Dancers vis- ited Fraulein Wigman's school in Dres- den last Summer and studied this type of work. The group last night wore abbreviated white garments, with wide- winged capes for this number. and might have been wheeling quadrilles of white pidgeons, so swooping were their gestures, even while each movement also was suggestive of robot-ized cales- thenics. The other, very colorful and unusual number, was the first dance interpretation here of what has proved at Pan-American concerts to be the most popular of all the Latin-American compositions presented—the truly na- tive “Yaqui Dance” of the Mexican In- dians, as used in a composition by Al- varado. Diana Solo Virile. ‘The costumes were of the picturesque Southern Indian. type with high feather head-dresses and bodices, as well as feathered copies of what, in Hawali, would be grass skirts. The gestures and body movements authentic to bar- baric Indian tribes were used to il- lustrate this haunting and very bar- baric music. The dance could well have stood repitition. In its elemental quali- ties it brought to mind the premiere production in Philadelphia this Spring of Stravinsky's “Le Sacre du Prin- temps.” The other dance numbers included two graceful waltz selections, the in.

Other unusually Ppopular numbers seemed to be the over- ture to “The Merry Wives of Windsor” and Grainger’s ‘orchestration of “The derry Air,” more widely familiar in this country as the tune of “Danny Boy.
