" orId League Draft
Gets First Reading:
Wilson to Issue Call

PARIS, Feb. 10.-The commission
which is forming the plan of the
League of Nations has so far advanced
its work that at its session to-day it
listened to the first reading of the
draft. 1t is thought that the second
reading may be reached tomorrow.
President Wilson has been accorded
the honor Of being designated as the
one who shall issue the formal call to
the nations of the world to join the
Society of Nations after its machinery
has been set up by the peace conference,
it was stated to-day.
The commission now working on the
draft of the constitution OF the society
is understood to have approved the plan
which provided that the President per-
form this function, it being considered
that the distinction was due MIN.
Committee reports clarifying certain
passages in ambiguous languages in
the plan for the Society of Nations
were presented to the special commits
sion on the formation of the society at
to-day's meeting. The reports enabled
the commission virtually TO complete
the plan.
This assures consideration of the
plan at plensry session of the peace
conference the week before President
Wilson's departure.
The draft is understood to leave the
formation of the permanent interna-
tional court of justice to the society
after its organization.
The constitution of the society itself
will be written by the representatives

WASHINGTON, Feb 10. - Woman
suffrage was again defeated in the
United States Senate to-day, by vote
of 55 to 20.
It's fate now passes from the hands
of the Democratic party and rests with
the Republicans, who will be in control
of Congress after March 4. Suffrage
leaders say the new Congress is over
whelmingly in favor of the bill, and
that it can be passed without much diff
fculty. 1t can hardly be passed, how
ever, in time to allow the women to
vote in the Presidential election of
1920.
Only one vote was lacking to the
suffrage cause to-day Since the
amendment was voted on on October /
and defeated by two votes. a gain of
one vote has been made. This was cast
by Senator Pollock. of South Carolina
The vote stood as expected, in the
ratio Of 63 to 33. counting the alb
sentees who were paired for and
against.
The vote by parties was as follows:
Republicans - For suffrage, 33;
against, -
Democrats-For suffrage, 30; against,
21.
The actual number of votes cast was
only eighty-four, owing to the illness
and absence of twelve Senators.
How Senators Took Sides
The Senators present voted as fol-
lows:
Democrats for: Ashurst. Culberson.

mission of the league of nations was
held this morning at 1920 O'Clock
at the Hotel Crillon.
"At this meeting the commission
finished their first reading of the
draft under discussion In addition
the drafting commission, TO whom the
commission had intrusted the revis-
ion of certain articles of the draft,
made It's report. The meeting nd
journed at lis p. III. to resume its
work at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Though certain OF the earlier ar
ticles may be subjected to reexami-
nation at to-morrow's session, it is
confidently expected that the COM
mission will be able to proceed with
thc second reading of the draft"
The question of the disposition OF
Syria probably will come before the Su-
preme Council again tomorrow, when
Frances position will be more clearly
outlined. France does not regard her
treaty with England, made at the be
ginning of the war, with relation TO
Syria as effective until i. has been def
nitely passed on by the society of ma
tions. In fact, France does not regard
any treaties entered into by the inter
ested powers during the war as bind
ing or void until the society of nations
takes definite action thereon
The suggestion that, in consideration
of being granted mandatory over To-
goland and Kamerun, France would re-
linquish her claims in Syria apparently
has been made without authority of the
French government.

bad Men, From Arnay

THlRD Deputy Police Commits
"a sioner Augustus Drum Porter
made the following statement at
the meeting of the Reconstruction
Commission of New York yester-
day:
From the police point of view,
there is a very grave danger in
the men discharged from the army
and now congregating in New
York without employment. | do
not wish to reflect upon the army,
but it is a fact that some of those
drafted into the army were not of
the better class. They did not go
into the army Of their own accord {;
they were drafted. Men who had
tendencies toward breaking the
law before they went into the
army are likely to have the same
tendencies afterward, and will be
better equipped to follow them.
They have been made acquainted
with firearms; they have seen
force and bloodshed, and if they
determine to break the law, they
are better equipped for maraud-
ing by reason of their handling
of weapons.
This statement Immediately
brought the following reply from
Colonel J. 3. McAndrews, of the
General Staff:
"In my opinion, men of the
lower grades Of life have been I'M
proved by association in the army
with men Of higher character and
standards. The association and
the companionships formed have
been of great benefit They have
been shown higher ideals Of ac-
ton and living, and one type has
acquainted the other with kind of
man they did not know existed. 1t
has been Of benefit to both"

PARIS, Feb. 10.-There is a deepen
ing in the note of anxiety sounded by
the French press, which sees a rebirth
Of the German menace and demands
that the peace conference turn from
elaboration to action. Even the off
cial Socialistic organ, "L'Humanite.' y

attributes it TO imperialism. Yet it is
significant that the Socialist "L'Ouvre, y

kept by County Judge Axelberg.
We have great faith in the

worth of a worthy court and
that they know the needs of lift

Farmers Cooperative Company Elect
Officers and Directors
Enough Stock and Cows Pledged to In
sure Success of New
Institution.

| A meeting Of the stock holders
of the Farmers Cooperative
Creamery company was held al
the Commercial Club rooms ir
this city last Saturday afternoon
at which officers and directors
were elected for the ensuing
year.
The officers are President F,
A. Dilree, Vice President I. A.
Oscar, Secretary and Treasurer
Ernest Tetzner.
Directors F. A. Dilree. 3 years
7. A. Oscar, 2 years, Ernest
Tetzner, 2 years, Harold Hovde
1 year, Harvey Irish l year.
A large number were in at
tendance at the meeting and a
constitution and bylaws were
adopted for the governing of the
organization. One feature of
the bylaws is a ruling to the
effect that no member can drop
out or take away any Of the
cream or any of the cows pledged
for a period of three years. A
violation Of this ruling will cause
the stockholder to suffer the loss
| of his stock in the association.
1t was ever this point that there
was considerable difference of
but when the above rule
was suggested it was unani-
mously adopted.
The creamery company has a
membership of 70 and about 28O
cows have been pledged. Shares
amounting to 222 have been sub
scribed for at present and the
organization starts out with a
working capital of $22O0.00.
The officers and directors of
the new association feel that
with the start which has been
made that the creamery company
in this city can be made a sue
cess. There are still many far
mers in the region adjacent to
Washburn who are willing to go
into the association as soon as
they see that the incorporators
mean a go of the venture.
The new company has rented
the creamery building in this
city and they will remodel the
plant and put it in first class
working order and within a few
weeks the creamery is expected
to open.
The stockholders feel that this
is the quickest way to get start
ed and that by another season a
modern plant can be erected.
The entire management of the
creamary company will remain
in the hands of the farmers who
are the stockholders and direct
ors. Every share holder will
have an equal vote at the stock
holders meeting, regardless of
the amount of stock held. The
stock is limited to 20 shares to
each individual.

Washburn H. S. Wins and Loses to
Wakefield
Good Spirit Back Of the Washburn Team.
Large Audience Witnesses
Game.

In double header basket ball
game played at the "Y" gym
nasium in this city last Saturday
evening between the boys and
girls teams of the Washburn and
Wakefield, Mich, high school
teams honors were divided, the
Wakefield girls winning their
game while the Washburn boys
carried off the honors.
In the game with the Wake
field girls the Washburn High
School girls team went down to
defeat in a one-sided game. The
Wakefield girls team have a very
good reputation as basket ball
players, winning all games
played this season, and this is
the first game played in which
they have not scored more than
50points against their opponents.
In the Saturday night game the
Wakefield girls made 81 points
to one point for the locals. They
had little difficulty in making
their 81 points while the Wash
burn girls made but the one
point on free throw on a foul.
The Wakefield girls gave a good
exhibition of basket ball while
the Washburn girls haa lard
time to keep them from piling
up a score.
In the game between the boys
teams of the two places Wash
burn secured the honors, winning
by score Of 80 to 13. The
Wakefield boys were outplayed,
although they put up a gammy
scrap. Dode Oscar for the locals
was easily the favorite, making
many of the baskets, while other
members of the team played a
good game.
One thing noticeable is the
spirit which is back of the team.
This is largely the result of a
talk given to the High school
pupils by Physical Director Bondi
of the Y. M. c.. A. Fatty"
Morris acted as cheer leader for
Washburn and put great pep"
into the team through their
cheering. One thing the Wash
burn rooters have learned and
that is to give the opposing side
credit for scores made and to re,
frain from commenting on the
decisions of the referee. It is
the right spirit and thing that
will do more to build up clean
sports than any other thing.
