AMENDMENTS TO BE CONSIDERED SOON

Special Meeting of League Committee is Called for Monday. GPNPVA, Dec. 3. The possibilityof again bringing before, the pr s- nt ass-mbiy the entire question of amendments to the covenant of th; League of Nations will be dLscuvsed at a 2-pecial meeting of th- steering committee called by Paul Hyrnar.s, chairman of the assembly, for Monday morning, according to a statement made by Jlonorio Pueyrredon, of the Argon-tin-delegation, to the Associated Press Friday. Mr. Pueyrredon said the calling of th- meeting was the result of the feeling among many of the delegations which had developed by reason of the derision of the assembly to delay the discussion of the question of amendments until its next meeting. Several South American countries already had requested that their vote in the premises be recorded with that of Argentine, hü added. Suggest Working I5al. The report of the committee on relations between the council and the assembly of the League of Nations .suggests the adoption by the assembly of the following principles jus a working basis for the time being: 1 "First The council and the assembly each wil be invested with particular powers and duties. Neither body will have jurisdiction to rentier a decisioi: in any matter which has b n expressly committed to the other. "Second The assembly will have no power to reserve or modify a decision which falls within the exclusive competence of the council. The same respects must be shown by the council fur decisions of the assembly. "Third Under the covenant by which representatives sitting on tho council ami the assembly render decisions, they have no standing except as such representatives. "Fourth The council will present each year a report to the assembly." It will be impossible to consider the assembly as a chamber of deputies and the council as an upper chamber, the report finds, because in certain matters the council and the assembly will have identical rights, while in others each oody has special rights. Neither can the council be considered as invested with executive and the assembly with legislative power, since the assembly also possesses executive prerogatives. The committee finds no analogy for the League in ordinary constitutional law and comes to the conclusion that, in view of the complicated questions involved in the tinal definition of the relations between the two bodies, it is better to adopt only general principles as a working basis pending further study of the situation. iSEWFOUISDLAiSD PLANS WAR MEMORIAL ARCH ST.

'Springtime99 is

Big Hit in First Stage Showing "Springtime" was a veratibie hit in its hrst presentation at the Oliver Friday evening. The applause that ensued at the end of mrv s;-ne and of each dar.ee and song number was something more than ir.pre praising of local talent; it was a mark of true appreciation of the excellent things said and done in the play. The play itself was most worthy. As a musical "comedy of youth, romance .and gladn-ss" it lost none of its three characteristics i . the performance. Ther; is a certain sweetness in it and an imdeftn.ablp charm that makes it something I worth while. The plot is based upon the wrong luck in marriage uf two generations of the house; of Prewstr and that of Standish. Priscilla Brewster loved Jack Wainright way back in lsGS, but Jack through the inevitable circumstances (one of them being his comparative poverty) married Primrose the cousin of Priscilla. Quaint Scenes and Now. There is a Jack and a Priscilla in the second act also, and with love between them too but the read of blighted romance has not yet been traversed to the end and they follow even as did those two of an earlier day . In tlie last act, true to the words of Mrs. rllkins, comes the lifting of grim things and Jack of 1020 is lawfully wedded to Priscilla of the same century. , The play is full of quaint scenes and new, songs very old and sweet and pieces of the present day. of ancient dances and weildings of an ultra-nasty toe. There are furbelows and bonnets, antique fineries and chic costumes. Elvira Eastman, none other than Fanny La-pide.s, la a petite bunch of grace and ease in all her dances and songs. She seems more than at borne on the ? stage and played her part to a nicety. Mrai Harry Perne:, as Triscilla Brewster, won the well merited applauMe of the audience again and again in her exquisite song numbers. Sh-3 carried herself admirably in every' scene and acte-d with a finish of perfection that made it a pleauro to see and hear. Her rendering of "My Garden of Memories" with Walter Clark, as Jack Wainright, was full of charm. Esther Fulton, ?s Primrose Standish. acted very well and presented a very pleasing appearance. Unique and Clever. Zenobia wan played by Madeline Unger and had tne audience tumble Into repeated roars of laughter, b? her actions and sangfroid expressions i?rall her appearances,. Among others might be rmntioned Perry Hall, as James Brewster; A. Kerndt. as Bobby Brewster, who both were entertaining in the extrem. The acting of the ast Jack and the last Priscilla was superb and drew elown much applause. There was a dance performance in the last act that would have done credit to any stage. It was both unique and clever in itself and executed with an agility and ease that was truly remarkable. Great credit must be given to all the players who took part In the production for tho manner in which everything 1 worked together and with such harmony and ease in the presentation of the play. More than enough praise cannot be given to the Mary Ann club for the admirable thing it has done in giving "Springtime." It portrayed a love for the true and the beautiful in the drama and a commendable striving for the best in giving such a play as "Springtime" to the people of South Bend. T. F. II.

REVENUE MEN GRAB MUCH IN LIQUOR HAULS

Poisonous Whisky Confiscat-j ed by Prohibition Enforce- ) inent Officer. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) were conhned to the county Jail and an effort was being made Friday night by friends to secure their re-lea-e under bond. Under the provisions of the Mate and the Volstead acts the express wagon may be confiscated by the otlicers since it was being used in the transport of liquor. Reports from over the state show that the prohibition othcers are fast concentrating their efforts for one "blow," which it is thought will completely break up the whisky ring, winch, it is alleged, has been operating over the state for several months.

Reams when here several days ago, is known to have served several subpoenas on residents of the west side to appear befor the inquisitoral body. In each city of the .supposed route of the whisky ring federal otlicers have been busy for months gather ing evidence again the ringlead ers. In several cities arrests ot prominent men have already been made on warrants from the federal courts which binds the prisoner over to the federal grand jury for investigation and possiole indictment. Frederick Van Nuys, district attorney for Indiana, recently .said that the alleged violations of the prohibition acts, vould be the foremost work of tho federal g-rana Jury. At that time, however, he intimated that the Muncie angle, which is said to Include several public and prominent residents, would bo the first before the jurors. One arrest has already been made in connection with that case. Following this caso the evide.l-e gathered by tho federal men in the other cities of the state will be given the Jury. Many indictments, it is expected will result from the action of the federal grand jury, several of which, it is expected will name South Bend men. DR.

Italian People Have Optimistic Vicivs on Conditions in Fiumc

ROME. Dec. 3. More optimistic views regarding the situation at Flume, prevailed rarly Friday in political circles, the belief being entertained that a satisfactory solution would be four.d of the problem presented by the refusal of Gabriele d'Annunzio to make the acts of the Fiume government and the disposal of his forces conform with the trinity of Rapallo. Although newspipers and other commentators now are freely declaring that the present attitude of d'Annunzio can hcrdly be regarded as the higrw-t form of patriotism. praise for. the previous acts of the soldier-poet is general, it being felt he was the principal factor is saving Fiume from a status which would have been unsatisfactory to Italian opinion. With this feeling prevalent the attacks which d'Annunzio is making with his usual vehemence upon every one in disagreement with him are receiving little or no attention and all In authority from the King down are Ignoring his denunciations, and appealing to him to prevent serious complications.
