SANTIAGO, Dec. 23. Opposition to

Chile retaining membership in the League of Nations has developed in some quarters here as a result of the league's consideration of Bolivia's petition for a revision of the treaty of peace and commerce celebrated with Chile in 1904 and the assembly'3 action in appointing a commission cf jurists to study the Bolivian tlalm, the essential feature of which was a demand for a seaport. The former Bolivian port of Antofagasta was definitely ceded to Chile under the 1904 treaty and Bolivia now has rail access to the Pacific through Antofagasta and Arlca, Chile. While Chile, according to some leaders of opinion, achieved a "moral vic

tory" at Geneva in view of the jurists' findings that the Bolivian petition in the form in which it was presented was inadmissible and that the "assembly cannot itself modify any treaty," the Bolivian delegation's announcement that it would reserve the right again to present its petition appears to have aroused more sentiment egainst the league in this country. J. Boonan Rivera, a writer on international affairs, in an article in the newspaper, Diario Ilustrado, views acceptance by Chile of the postponement of the Bolivian petition as an "abdication at least of the sentiment of our complete sovereignty." He asks what teason there is for Chile to remain in a league that "good national sense repudiates through a certain feeling of anxiety and uneasiness." Alludes to Advice He alludes to the advice given by

A. J. Balfour at Geneva, in favor of direct negotiations between Chile and Bolivia to "settle the extremely thorny problem," as a judgment which would not have allowed Chile to continue in a league in which it "never should have entered blindfolded." The writer also says Argentina withdrew "be-! cause she would only take part in a league of nations in the full sense lhat word implied." Senator Gonzales Bulnes, chairman of the foreign relations commission of t the senate, has been the chief oppon-j ent of the league in the Chilean congross. He warmly supported Argen-: rf Una's action in withdrawing from the league last December and at that time!

cess "Scandal," in which the Jack Bessey players are to appear. You'll find that it "jest can't be did." In securing tihs comedy for the the

atre-going public of Richmond, Manager Gruenewald has contiued his policy of giving the best at popular prices. Director Arthur Oimi and his corps of assistants have given particular attention to the scenic side of the production and the three sets promise to be visual entertainments. As a play 'Scandal" is an offering that defies too excessive a use of superlatives. There isn't a dull moment in it; ther isn't a spot in which it is not of the deepest interest, and, with its great great comedy there is a genuine lesson that everyone, regardless of age or sex, can well afford to take to heart and learn sometihng from. In managef Gruenewald's opinion,

'Scandal" is if not the greatest, one of

the biggest comedies we have ever J been fortunate enough to secure. "I! am not at all fearful of what the pub-1 lie verdict w ill be. I know, as we are I

going to present it, that it will be popular as it has been during its career in New York and about the country." ' When manager Gruenewald breaks lose as emphatically as that we can rest assred that he is pretty certain of what he is talking about. VICTORY THEATRE, DAYTON Sam H.

'ROUND PEG IN SQUARE ROLE,' IS OLD PHRASE

Very often vhen a person's talent is misdirected or being wasted in his particular environment, he Is referred to as a "round peg in a square hole."

This is an eld phrase used more fre- self," have

quenrly in England than here. Sydney Smith is generally credited with its origination. In the course of one of his lectures he delivered at the Royal Institution in the early part of the Nineteenth Century he said: "If you choose to represent the various parts of life by holes, upon a table 'of different shapes, some circular.

some square, and some oblong, and :he ! persons actins these parts by bits of j wood of similar shape, we shall gener-i ally find that the triangular person has i the square ho'e, the oblong is used as! a misfit for the triangular and the square person has squeezed himself, into the round hole."
