Some of the news papers give great prominence to the cancellation nf the original orders sending British troops into the plebes cite areas In Silesia, East Prussia and Sleswig. Eleven battalions and a bri gade of artillery were scheduled for plebescite duty but it was officially an nounced yesterday without a reason being given that it was found necessary to modify the arrangement. Under the new plan only one battalion will go to Schleewig, one to Danzig and one to Alesteln. Speculation is rife as to the destination of other battalions. The Daily Mail, which describes the affair as a "mystery" says advance par ties of eleven battalions already have arrived at their destinations and have been ordered to return immediately. It refers . to the Paris suggestion that troops be sent to protect Georgia and Aserbaijan agalns the bolshevlkl and the report that French roops will be substituted for the British units in the plebescite areas. It adds that what ever the reason ,the decision was made at the recent conference of the allies in Paris and is not an isolated British ar rangement. The Daily Herald ascribes the move to the British "war party's determina tion to Involve the country in new mili tary commitments." state of affairs Is held to be the Intro, duction of the family budget So Fri day will be named "Family Budget Hay.-" .

Three of the club's members: Homer Bray, Oli ver Feustman and Louis Drager par ticipated in stock Judging contests at Salem, Spokane and Portland and se cured a number of first and Becond awards. These boys competed with teams from all over tho Pacifio north went and their work has excited much praise for the club's accomplishments. Where Is the v Business , Men's League? '" Not so many months ago, according to newspaper files, and pioneers of the city, there Was an organization. Joint to the Salem Commercial club, called by that name. Each month Its mem bers gathered in courtesy to the Com mercial club in the club's chambers and discussed oftimes in heated ten sion, matters akin to the stride of events in the municipality. All this is recalled by old timera Some even, possessing keen memories, recall that the Business Men's League had 113 members all paid and active, in good standing. In this same resume of distant facts it is said that meetings of the organiza tion were well atended. In each mem ber, apparently, there lurked a smol dering spark of longing to do some good, that burst into flame and cast a glow of accomplishment at these monthly meetings. , ' But the Business' Men's League, if the past two meetings of the organiza tion are representative, has retired to the archives of hlsory. In late December, when the date for the meeting fell, a half dozen members sat around the Commercial club an hour patiently awaiting the arrival of a quorum. It was snowing and the weather was cold. So the meeting was postponed. Wednesday night the next regular date came up. For two days 'it had been generally advertised that the meeting would be held, and that mat ters of importance Would be discussed. Further, a personal request that each member be present was made. For a half hour Wednesday night eight men sat In the club's chambers In mute supplication for a quorum. By nine o'clock the quroum 14 men had arrived. This was an hour after the meeting had been scheduled to be gin. There were four dry goods mer chants, one baker, one druggist, one dentist, a furniture dealer, a book sell er, a hardware man, and several oth ersbut not one grocer present . But the meeting convened. Little business was transacted before one of the men present, finding that he could not push through legislation conscien tiously without the. presence of other business men, proposed a plan for the revival of the aforementioned spark of enthusiasm, vitality and civic pride. It was the naming of a committee of three to make a personal tour among the. business houses of the ctiy, and members, of the. . league, to beseech them to attend the oet meeting; and, If it be' their pleasure, explain their absence from previous meetings. Although recognized by those pres ent as being the mainstay of the Com mercial club, and cognizant of the fact that its support rests mainly with them their activity was throttled by the ab sence of fellow members.

Jon nart, former minister of blockade and invaded regions, ha accepted an ap pointment a French, delegate on the reparations commission and will be president of that body, according to newspapers here. ETOH TREATY LAST RESORT Paris, Jan. 22. Italy will demand of France and Knglnnd the carrying out of the treaty of London only when all other means of settling the Adriatic question have been tried and found futllo, according to a statement made by Premier Nittl to a representative of tho Kcho T' Purls. The correspond ent accompanied the Italian premier from this city to Nice, and was told by Slgnor Nittl that his trip to Rome was brought solely by the railroad strike In Italy. "The reply of the .Tugo-Slav govern uient to the note of the supreme eoun oil relative to conflicting claims on the eastern shores of the Adrlalio does not satisfy us," the premier is quoted as saying, "but we have gone to the ex. treme limit In making concessions. mo world Bhould realize that for the sake of Kleume we renounce Dalmatla, which was given to us by tho pact of London. We hope that after a few days further reflection tha Jugo-S'.ava will send an acceptable answer." iTemir Mttl expects to return to Paris soon to resume his work in the peace conference.

A tr,,J ot oor LOMBARD!, LTD; IS T Oliver Morosco will present Leo Carillo in Frederic and Fanny Hatton's famous laughing success "Lombadi, Ltd.," at the Grand opera house, Mon day, January 2S. The combination of names in connection with the comedy is sufficient in itself to promise one of the most interesting and important at tractions of the curren season. Oliver Morosco, the producer, has brought forth many of the biggest laughing hits the American stage has .ever known, while Frederick and Fanny Hatton are equally well and substantially known in the field of native authors. The big New York success of this comedy has unquestionably made familiar to local theatre-goers. A slight idea of its record-breaking success may be had from the fact that while it has been playing continuously for two solid years it has only been seen In nine cities. "Lombardi, Ltd.," has to do with the business and domestic trials and tribu lations of one Tito Lombardi, a fash ionable Italian dressmaker and owne of a smart shop on Fifth avenue, fcev. York. Lombardi is a genuine genius in the art of creating beautiful gowns but he has absolutely no business abil ity.
