MEMBERS OF THE SENATE ARE HEAR ING FROM HO,', THERE IS A MARKED CHANGE IN ATTITUDE OF NATION'S LEAGUE. Sentiment of People Strongly in Fa vor of Draft if Amendments Sug gested by Mr. Taft Be Adopted at Paris. Washington. March 27. Observ ers of the lea cue of nations propa ganda in the United States have been struck recently by the com parative lull in the efforts of the opposition to the proposed league constitution. The much advcrti-ed efforts of certain senators to oppose the lea'gue lave not developed to the extent expected, and members of the senate who are now retnrmutr to Washington after a visit home are talkinir in a very different tune from that of two weeks apu. Mem bers of onuress a-ssert that if the president succeeds in having adopt ed amendments to the lea true consti tution that will he reasonably ac ceptable to its constructive critic., who favor further safeguards alon the line sim nested by Mr. Taft. not more than three- of the thirty-nine republican senators who sinned the 'round robin" in the closing days of the lnt session, stating their inten tion to vote airainst the doeum i:t unless these chaimes were ma ;e. will tie found utraiust t!i" ratification of the legislation when it comes up in the senate. In fact, some of the mot out spoken oponents of the lensue arr now hearing from lioiu in such strenuous tones that they are be irinnir. to doubt the wisdom of the course they have pursued. There no longer :;ecrns to b" atiy doubt that the league legislation will te ratified by a heavy vote in the senate utiles the hnul draft of the document reveals some funda mental blunder in the amendments relative to sections vital to the United States or unless the president wholly disregards the suirrres: ion ai d make.s no amendments at ail, which m believed hi.irhlv doubtful.

DESIRE TO HAVE LUXURY CAUSES A WIFE'S DOWNFALL FLORENCE REED IN "TODAY" IS COSTING TO PARMELE TUES DAY AND WEDNESDAY A Erana Filled With Splendid Types and Played Convincingly A Happy Eliding Though Announcement of the coming of the photoplay "Today" as the next big super-production to be shown at the Parmele theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday. April 1 and 2. will be greeted wl'.h pleasure by local movie fans who have heard more or less of this wonderful play when it was on the real stage and enjoyed a record 1 reakhig run of several months at s the Kltinge in New York City. .'o play, i; is safe to assume, ever thrill ed the souls of more people than did this rather roaght. yet extremely dramatic story which had such an unusual ending. And now, repro duced in movies, the ending is more refreshing through its being shown to be only a dream instead of ac tual happenstance, while the wife is redeemed to her husband and they go along life's pathway happy again in the possession of each other. The photography and lighting ef fect.' are said to be exceptionally good and there are some excellent interior views. Those not familiar with the action as it occurs in the drama will be glad of the opportun ity to read tl. following SYNOPSIS The story of this is very simple. It has to do with a wife who was dissatisfied with her husbands busi ness proarass and -wanted more pretty things and more entertain ment. To get them she was advised by a friend who had found the "e-i--r way." Kventually the husband, who w,u a real estate man, was made agent i ;r an apainnent where he found i'is wile's picture in one of the flats. Questioning the woman occupying the flat, he was informed that she was. a friend, and a date was made for him to meet her at eight that evening. Hubby returned to his house and had dinner with his wife and his mother and lather who lived with him. from which dinner the nervous wife hurried a way to dress secretly for her appointment. Iiubby. however, beat her to the flat and waited anxiously. When she came in he took her behind some curtains and choked her to death. The producers finished off with a happy ending, showing all of this experience to have been a dream of the wife, which converted her to a better view of life. So far as cliaract rizat ion and drama is concerned, the offering is very good. The important situations were intelligently handled, the gen eral atmosphere was good and some of the sets were excellent and there were many effectively lighted scenes. As the young wife who slipped from grace. Florence Reed gives a portrayal which for the first time, demonstrates her real dramatic abil ity on the screen and as a whole, her characterization was splendid. Most of her work was very sincere and impressive. She made the character live. Frank Mills as the husband was excellent. He played with enough repose to stand out against the nervous activity of Miss Reed and from first to last his characteriza tion was genuinely pleasing. Gus Weinberg and Alice Gale, as Mr. Mills' father and mother respective ly, were great types, and they play ed with a nice knowledge of the value of little touches. Others in the cast were Lenore Harris. Kate Lester and ("apt. Harry Lambert. SEED POTATOES FOR SALE. Clay county Minnesota Red River Karly Ohios. $1.7.r per bushel.

The American told a thrillinn story of the arrest of himself and com panions, their beiim taken before Villa personally and the conversa tions he had with Villa personally and Felip Angeles, who was to have started a new revolutionary move ment in conjunction with Villa soon. "Angeles had apologized because he and Villa had eaten all the break fast." the American said. "Villa shook hands, told us not to worry as we would be well treated and that he had no intention of harming any of us. In the bis adobe room ad joining the corral I had a lon talk with Anpeles, who praised the Amer ican democracy and said that was the kind of government Mexico needed as there was too much differiT.ce between the li;i;h and low classes in Mexico. It was during this talk that Villa passing by. stopped to tell me that he was ready to shoulder a rifle should the United States be in vaded by a foreign force as we were neighbors and should stand togeth er at ail times." After beine: released and given a safe conduct through Villa's lines the American was again arrested by the home guards who are organized to protect their homes from bandit raids.

Foiled States Senator William Cabbr. of New York, announced here lodav he had written a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Glass calling aMeniion to depreciation of re: ut issues of Liberty bonds and urging the sec retary to cable President Wilson ad vising that a special session of con gress be called at once so that the situation might be remedied. Semi tor ('aider expressed the poinion that unless this was done it would be impossible to obtain popular sub scriptions to the forthcoming loan. thus necessitating the taking of bonds by the banks, a situation that I would, he wrote, have the effect of limit ing credit for general business with injurious effects upon the en tire country.
