United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. - The
proposition Of President Wilson issu
ing a formal call for the first meet
ing of the league of nations at Paris
lis In the air. Secretary of State
Lansing said today.
This was generally taken to mean
that the matter is under consideTa.
ton both at the white house and
state department.
At the state department it was
stated that President Wilson has au-
thority to call the meeting if he so de-
sires despite this country's rejection
Of the treaty.
1t was pointed out that Wilson was
named to call the first meeting of the
league as an officer of the United
States and not as member of the
league of nations and that such action
by him was not conditional upon the
membership of the United States. The
president would convoke the first
meeting just as he called the first
meeting In Washington recently of the
labor conference. also
provided for by the treaty OF Yer
sailles
Unofficial Paris dispatches state
definitely that the president will issue
the call for the meeting but there was
no confirmation Of this at the white
house.

the federal district court of Puebla
has jurisdiction in the case of VIM.
%. Jenkins, American consular agent,
lat liberty on bail pending trial for
lalleged collision with his bandit alb

The ruling. however. was confined
to the one point of jurisdiction and
the supreme court did not direct that
the case be tried in the federal court
|or that the state court Of Puebla,
which first directed Jenkins impris-
Onment, was entirely without author
ity. In fact the ruling was inter

still competent to conduct the trial,
though jenkins may now enter new
petition for transfer of his case to

Major M. w. Smell and Party Here on
Recruiting Tour Have Head
quarters at Hotel
Iowa.
OPPORTUNITIES GREAT
Many Advantages Offered Men Who
Enlist in This Branch Of Serv-
ice-can Have One or
Three Years.

A recruiting party from the med
zeal detachment OF the fourth dlvl'
sion at Camp Dodge is in keokuK,
with headquarters at the Hotel Iowa,
and will enlist recruits for the med
ical service with the fourth division.
The party consists of Major M. w.
Smell and four enlisted men. Some
member of the party will be on duty
day and night, and any local men,
or men from this neighborhood, who
want to join the army and to get
into the medical branch of service
have a fine opportunity now.
The major and his party will re.
main in Keokuk until the night OF
January /, 1920. They came here
from Fort Madison, where they were
on similar recruiting mission.
Learn while you earn, and help
heal the wounds of war" is the
motto of the medical department.
The visit of Major Smell and his
party offers a splendid opportunity
for keokuk men who contemplate
the study of medicine, dentistry or
pharmacy Men whose applications
for enlistment are accepted will in
the army, have chance to gain
valuable experience along the lines
indicated.
There are several reasons just
now why entrance into the medical
service is desirable. One of these
is to release the emergency men
who have not as yet been discharged.
Another is the great need for help
TO take care OF the $4,000 sick and
wounded who are at the present
time confined in general hospitals.
Have Wide Choice.
Young men may enlist for either
one year or three years. Those who
enlist for the short time will serve
In this country or on the Mexican
border. The men who enlist for
three years will be called into service
at any place where there is an Ameri-
Rico, Hawaii, China, the Philippines,
AT the present time there is call for
waiian islands.
Everything is furnished,
such as clothing, food, quarters and
equipment. A bill has just been in
tfOuuSc0 III CuuSIcSS " I'LL case LIZ
pay of the enlisted personnel fifty
per cent, which would bring the pay
Of privates to $45 per month. This
would mean that man in civil life
would have to have a salary of from
$3.50 to s145 per month to equal the
pay he would receive in the medical
of the army under the
new bill.
! Major Smell will be glad to inter
view all prospective applicants for
enlistment in the medical corps, as
vel dis all other men interested in
the service, while he and his party
are in Keokuk. 1t may be OF inter-
est tc men who were discharged at
Camp Dodge to know that Major
Smell was member of the medical
examining boards of the camp last
spring and early summer.
