SIR JAMES ERIC DRUMMoND OF
ENGLAND MADE GENERAL
SECRETARY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, April 29.-The covenant of
the League of Nations in revised form,
moved by President Wilson, has been
adopted by the peace conference in
plenary session without a dissenting
vote. The Presidents motion also
named Sir James Eric Drummond as
secretary general of the league and
provided for a committee to inaugu-
rate the league.
Thus one of the notable works of
the conference passes its final stage
and is Incorporated in the peace
treaty.
The French and Japanese amend
ments, after brief discussion, were
not pressed, and the way was thus
cleared for unanimous acceptance of
the league.
Italy was not represented at the ses-
sion, but the name of Italy appears
as one of the members of the league
in the covenant as finally adopted.
Nine labor principles were adopted for
insertion in the treaty.
The session adjourned without con-
sidering the report on responsibilities
providing for the trial of the former
German emperor by five judges from
the great powers. This report was
handed in by the council of four and
embodieS in the peace treaty pro-
vision for the former emperOr'S pros
ecution. This, however, has not az
yet been adopted by the plenary con-
ference.
The session opened at p. m. in the
French foreign office under circum-
stances of unusual interest because of
the fact that it was to be one Of the
last sessions before the meeting with
the German delegates at Versailles !;
that final action was to be taken on
some of the main features of the
peace treaty, notably the League Of
Nations, responsibility for the war and
peror and others, and because import
ant labor clauses were to be inserted
in the treaty.
President Wilson was recognized at
the outset for a detailed explanation
Of the new covenant of the league.
His speech was without oratorical eff
feet and confirmed the explanation Of
the textual changes, and named Bel
GUM, Brazil, Greece and Spain on the
league council and also on the COM
mittee to prepare plans for the first
meeting of the league
