NATIONS LEAGUE
DRAFT CONSISTS
OF Is ARTICLES
Eight Other Provisions Also
Included in a Cove
nant Form
BY Associated Press

Paris, Jan. 17.-The draft of the
league of nations in the form of
treaty enactment now has proceed
ed much further than generally sup
posed as result of recent confer
ences between Lord Robert Cecil,
Secretary Lansing and Colonel
House. at which the best features
of the various projects were en-
| bodied in concrete form of enact
ment. This is called covenant, in
stead of a treaty, and re-embraces
thirteen articles and eight supple
gether the main features of all the
plans presented.
The covenant. while still subject
to much revision, probably will be
ready for the congress or commit
tee whenever the subject is con-
| sidered.
Considering Russia
! The meeting of the Supreme War
Council at the foreign office was
the only formal gathering of the
peace delegates yesterday. AS sum-
med up in the official communique
the Russian situation and the con-
ference's relations with the press
were the only subjects treated.
After the meeting. President Will
son, Premier Lloyd George. Secre-
tary Lansing and Mr.. Balfour re-
mained for some time in the ante
chamber of NJ. Pichon's office in
earnest conversation.
The discussion of the Russian
situation appears to have been con-
fined to an agreement to exchange
available information, though the
determination to have a joint en-
animation of the subject, as stated
in the official communique, indi-
Gates that the Russian situation will
be one of the subjects to be taken
under the earliest consideration.
Discuss Vice-Prcsidents
Besides Premier Clemenceau as
presiding officer at the peace con-
ference, provision has been made
for several presidents, who
doubtless will include an American,
sitting alongside of NJ Clemenceau
at the head of the conference table
and occasionally alternating with
in presiding over the deliberations
of the congress.
The American delegation has not
yet designated any one for this
function. 1t is generally understood,
however. that the premiers of the
various countries will act in this ca
pacity, and as President Wilson oc-
cupies a position similar to that of
the premiers, the congress natural
ly would call on him. if he so de-
sired it, to act as a e-president.
though it is thought that he would
prefer that some other member of
tine delegation take his place.
In that case, it probably would
fall to Secretary Lansing. as secre-
tary of state, or else to Henry White,
who. as temporary presiding officer,
would have an advantage, being a
linguist, when addressed by dele
gates speaking only in French.
The position of vice president, in
additions to being a highly honor
able one. has the practical advan-
tage of a position at the head of
1.-the table with the other premiers
and also of conducting the delibera-
tions when NJ. Clemenceau is alb
sent or yields the chair.

Completion. of plans for compiling

anon, the president of the organiza-
tion for the past year. Resolutions
of good will and congratulations to

former president, were adopted.
Miss Jane Campbell, of German
town, one of the oldest officers of the
society, read the report on necrol-
ogy, chronicling the deaths of prom
lent Pennsylvanians during the year.
Miss Campbell is intensely interested
in the organization and her work re-
ceived high praise.
Encouragement of the work of
collecting manuscripts of historical
value in the state is the duty of a
committee whose report was given
by Prof. Herman G.. Ames, of the
University of Pennsylvania, chair
man. Reports of other committees
were given.
An Interesting chronology of hap
penings in the state during the past
year was read by Professor Hiram

These contain many interesting
notes, including list of publications
by Pennsylvania writers and Miss
