Whll the United States government j la not participating in the demand of the allie for the surrender for trial by the entente of more than 809 for mer German officials and officers, in cluding three members of the royal family, officials are watchingr devel opments with kaen interest. Ambassador Wallace, as a member of the council of ambassadors, is keeping: in touch with developments. A heretofore announced. Ambassador Wallace has. no voting authority and can act on matter coming before the ambassadors only on specific instruc tions from the state department. That the political situation in Ger many as the result of the demand for the surrender of this long list of per sons who played a prominent part in the war against the allies and asso- ciated nations is grave," is conceded in official circles here. V. S. Mmy Ye Participate. Inasmuch as the Versailles treaty makes wovislon for the surrender of an indefinite number of German offi cials and officers of the army and Jt navy, and the United States is a sig- Datory probability, only the fact. that the senate has not ratified the treaty j prevents active participation by the united states in tne aemana. The physical difficulty of arresting . so large a number of prominent Ger Vans and transporting them safely to France or Belgium is recognized - here as a real one. The wisdom the allies demand that Germany com ply with this provision of the treaty is recognized as a question of policy to be determined by the allied thorities. Some fear is expressed that if tfi Ebert government-should fall as th result of an attempt to comply with the allies' demands and fulfill thi treaty obligation chaos might follow that would seriously affect all allied countries. . Grave Problem Presented. The fact that the partial list of names of army officers whose sur render is demanded for alleged war crime includes the names of Ger many s most brilliant field com manders and staff officers, the met who directed the Beveral great of fensives when Uermany was making real progress in the war, many of whom are extremely popular at home, is said to make compliance with the demand the more difficult. A CJUil TWO INDIAN'S WHO SOUGHT ED- TCATIOX TAKEX HOME. ' Jlan in Search of "Spirit" Wife and Illiterate Farmer Are 3Icmber of Party. Deportation of four Canadians from this state was furthered yesterday when Deputy United States Marshal John Mann and Naturalization Inspec tor V. W. Tomlinson left for the north with the undesirables in their custody. The group was made up of Annie Dolan and Mamie Wilcox, two Indian girls who ran away to get an edu cation at Chemawa: Frederick George Golding. who made himself famous by coming across the border in search of a spirit wife, and Wilfred Ber- gerson, an Illiterate who dodged the officers and joined his uncle in Marsh field. ' The Indian girls would have been permitted to remain in the school had it not been for the regulation pro hibiting the government from stand ing the expense of educating foreign born Indiana. Parents of the girls, who are both 15 years of age, were unable to pay the J200 a year tuition. Golding's eearch for a spirit wife Is said to have been prompted by some mental disorder. Bergerson was not a dangerous character, but could neither read nor write. He was a practical farmer, but falsely claimed to be an American citizen. He was arrested in Marsh-field.

STARVING ' While the World Looks On Heilig. , - BT LEONE CASS BAER. 1TZI BITZI MITZI scores another hifzf in her newest "musical com edy, "Head Over Heels." Possibly the title Is suggested by the fact tbat the fascinating little dyaarmo as an amus ing and sometimes sentimental little acrobat wails that she has fallen head over bels in love. For the most part, the title might be reversed for Mitzi's twinkly heels, are oftener over her head than tapping the floor. The new piece is like all of the gay little prima donna's vehicles, just Mitzi put to music. Irresistibly funny is Mitzi, of cunning perky ways. tricks of voice and amazing corry mgs on with her eyes, eyes so big and wide they occupy the entire upper part of ber sparkling little face. Mitzi isn't merely a Joy to the eye. She is a comedienne with gray matter iu her wise young head, and it radiates in her speech and manner. In this new piece, written by Jerome Kern and Edgar Allen Woolf, Mitzi la the bright and marning star around which the other planets move and have their being. The -musfc is tinkly and tuneful, but not parti cularly memorable, and at fimes it reminiscent of other airs. The tunes for Mitzi's songs are lovely,- and or chestrated beautifully and smoothly. Mitzi has developed a roundness of tone and new notes in her flute-like, tircky, sweet voice. One delightful sung, she has with a caliope effect and another haunting one, "Mitzi's Lulla by, in which she uses ber surprising top notes, ascending with a sureness and vigor of exquisiteness of melody. The story tells of Mitzi's disillusion concerning a gay Lotharia she' has met in Madrid while she was playing an engagement there, bhe meets him in New York, and when convinced of his fickleness, sheds a few tears, as only Mitzi can shed tears, a doleful little girls proceeding, which capti vates. Then she falls head over heels in love with the philanderer's business partner, a conventional young hero who sighs and sentimentalizes in ap proved musical comedy manner. Mitzi qualifies as a virtuoso of the Bam bin - etti troupe, dancing like a wee devil. clowning adorably or serious, or mock serious on occasion, and making tin with her unique personality and gifts for whatever lack of wit the lines may have. When she is on the stage you do not see any one else. In the few intervals, when she scurried away to change a gown, the action revealed a clever chap. Joe Keno, a brilliant farceur in the role of a publicity purveyor. His best moment arrived as a drill master of a chorus-girl army. Edward Sells 'as Slgnor Bambinetti sang grandiloquently of his progeni tors, and Boyd Marshall was the dig nified and interesting hero of Mitzi's affection. A clever girl, Rosie Green, adds a madcap dance. A busy good-looking chorus, handsomely apparaled, counts for a lot. The ceremony is gorgeous, particularly the. second setting, by Joseph Urban, a rich, colorful and harmonious , garden spot Mitzi will be "Head Over Heels" for the rest of the week.
