LEAVES ALL TO
WORLD LEAGUE
Britain Willing to Turn Over Cap
tured German Colonies, Pal
estine and Mesopotamia.
TO TACKLE PROBLEM
Second PIenary Session BY Full Peace
Congress Brings Out Debate on
League of Nations, Lloyd George
Presenting British Plan.

Paris, Jan. 27.-Great Britain has an
nounced her willingness to turn over
to the proposed league of nations for
settlement captured German colonies,
Mesopotamia and Palestine.
This news comes on the eve of the
first official consideration of league
plans by the full peace congress.
Premier Lloyd George made the
opening presentation of league plans
at this second plenary session.
Other subjects which had been
whipped into shape for open debate
during this weeks sittings Of the
steering committee" were responsible
lily and punishment for the war; repa-
ration for war damages; international
labor legislation; Observation-Disclosures
of certain ports, waterways and rail
ways, and the procedure for bringing
territorial questions before the dele
gates.
Correspondents Admitted.
Correspondents were admitted at
the days session in observance of the
present program Of five secret meet
ings to n open meeting. 1t is un-
derstood that both the British and
American plans, for the League of Ma
tions, according to the latest modifica-
lions, provide for establishment of
what amounts to an enlarged and i'm
proved Hague tribunal.
The principal provisions of the Brit
fsh scheme are understood to include
establishment of a high tribunal with
forcible enforcement of its edicts rath-
er than a supernatural police force';
some form of disarmament; cancella-
ton of all treaties which would inter
fere with the working Of the league;
formation of a board to pass on in
ternational labor problems, and exclu.
sion of the Central Powers until they
had proved their fitness for member
ship.
Held AS Example.
London, Jan, 26.-Great Britain's de.
cision to leave such questions as the
future f-Mesopotamia, Palestine and
the German colonies to the league of
nations is profoundly important says
the Daily News.
"The adoption of such a policy by
the British delegation has established
the league in it's true place in rela-
ton to the peace congress and invests
the whole proceedings of the congress
with an atmosphere of confidence and
good will, created by the refusal of a
great nation to take advantage of the
accident Of military possession of valu-
able territory.
eff Great Britain is ready to give
such an effective pledge Of her faith in
the league Of nations no other power
Is left with an Gus for holding back.
The decision may we'll prove to be the
greatest victory Of the war;"

SET RECORD FOR BUILDING
New York University Put Up Eight
Large Buildings for Soldiers in
Thirteen Days.

New York university set a record
In finishing an army barracks building
for the new students army training
corps in six days, says the New York
Tribune. This building was the first
Of a group of eight needed for the
newly indicted soldiers at the univer-
sity. The entire group was completed
in 10 days from the time the work
was started. Prof. Collins P. Bliss,
head of the department Of mechanical
engineering at the university, super
vised this rush job of construction, the
university authorities having contract
ed for the erection Of the barracks as
soon as it was learned that New York
university would become an s.. A. T..
G. camp.
The buildings are completely sealed
SO they a be kept comfortably heat
ed by the big cantonment stoves.
There are double floors throughout,
there is double sheathing on the out
side, and the walls are sealed inside.
Each barracks conforms to the army
plan of 43 by 120 feet dimensions.
In the mess hall 1000 men are fed in
two shifts. High pressure steam cook

WORLDS GREAT NEED OF TIN
War Has Diminished Supply Of lndIs-
pensable Metal, and So Immense
Iy Increased Its Cost.

Probably no market has been more
vitality affected by the wal and less
subject to control than the tin mar
ket. 1t is not really an American in
dustry, for an insignificant amount of
tin is produced in the United States
as compared with the total consumed.
Ihls country is almost absolutely de-
pendent on foreign sources for it's sup.
plies. But the metal is a vital neces-
sity at all times and in many direc-
tons. 1t is particularly a war metal
In that it's use Is essential in produc-
Ing tinplate for food and other con-
tainers and for bearings for machin-
cry.
I'm no other metal has such com.
plete chaos developed as in tin as a
result Of war conditions. It is the
only metal which is exempt from price
fixing by our W government, be-
cause about 80 per cent of our con-
sumption comes from foreign coun.
tries, where it's production and sale
are controlled by foreign interests.
Only it's distribution here has been
regulated as a war measure.
One of the largest importers has re-
Gently said that it would probably be
a long time before 6O-cent tin would
again be seen. Before the war the
metal was selling at a little over 80
cents a pound in New York. 1t has
advanced by leaps and bounds until
a month ago the New York price was
nominal at over 81 a pound, with the
future shipments from the east up to
95 cents-both unheard of heights.
This has been caused by the fact that
the worlds output Of tin has not been
enough. In fact, statistics show that
In recent years this has been at about
a standstill.

ers are used. There are gas and coal
ranges, steam tables on which to keep
the food hot, and some kettles three
feet in diameter. A dishwasher oper-
ated by steam cleans 5000 dishes an
hour.
One of the university's graduate en-
gineers-John Lowry, Jr.-was respon-
sible for the rapid erection of the bar
racks. Being engaged extensively in
government work, he was able to
throw in a large force Of men, trans
ferred from other government work
that was finished.
The site Of the first barracks was
surveyed and staked and posts were
set in concrete in one day.

In our opinion this Higginsville sol.

breaking bad news of two sorts to

ought to have see my new bed last
night. 1t was one Of the incest white

sheets, blankets and a soft pillow. 1t

Lover Steals Into Morgue to
Place Flowers on Bier

DIED Is YEARS AGO
Since That Time Sweetheart Has Paid
Stealthy Midnight Visits to Gaze
on Face of One He
Lost.

st. Louis.-In the corner of q cold,
%forbidding room, attached to one of
the largest morgues in st. Louis. lies
the body Of a beautiful girl Of twenty.
She rests in a g~lass-covered coffin, q
smile upon her lips, and with features
as carefully preserved as they were
when they pulsed with life and love
and hope some Is years ago. The body
has remained unclaimed through all
the years, though not forgotten, for at
regular periods, a lover, whose identity
has remained a secret, quietly slips in
to the dreary and grewsome death
chamber to deposit beautiful roses up
on the casket and gaze at the face of
the woman he had loved in life.
The young woman, fair and win
some, left her home in an Illinois
town to become the wife of a prosper
Gus merchant, much older than her
self. The love she craved was with
held, because her husband was
wrapped up in business affairs. One
night the young bride stole silently
away and, though she was sought and
ultimately found, she refused to return
to her husband, and took up her life
in st. Louis, where she found work
and supported herself meagerly, too
proud to appeal to her husband for the
care he would have given her.
Met a Younger Lover.
One day she accidentally met q
young man, a struggling youth who
was ambitious to become a lawyer,
but was without means aside from his
pittance obtained in an attorneys Of

love, as they were drawn together by

Plan to Attack E%sthonian Capital Is
Complete Failure.
London, Jan. 27.-Bolshevik at
tempts to lombard Revel, capital of
Esthonia, from the sea have resulted
in complete failure, according to re-
ports received here. Every vessel in
the fleet is said to have been sunk.
Riga was saved from attack by boil
shevists and from disorders within the
city by a British fleet which was sent
into the Baltic late in December for
the purpose of assisting British refu-
gees to leave Russia. Threats of bonn
bardment resulted in immediate repre-
sensations by German army officers
that they were there to keep order
and that they would leave as soon as
assurance was given that anarchy
would not break out. Bolshevist troops
who were expected to attack the town
at any moment deferred action.
