VATICAN CLAIMS
LEAGUE COULD BE
ON SIMPLER PLAN

Rome, Tuesday. March 1.-THE
Osservatore Romano, the semi-offi- -
Cial organ of the vatican, prints an
article on the league of nations
which is understood to embody the
viewpoint of the holy see 1t says
the league might have been con-
stituted in simpler manner" The
following plan is suggested;
The setting of an arbitration tri-
bunal to solve international con-
licts.
The formation of a society of all
civilized nations. including those
defeated in the war. which will
pledge themselves to submit their
differences to tribunal and accept
its rulings.
The bringing about of an agree
nent to declare an economic boy
cott against any nation which re-
fuses to submit controversies to
tribunal or which will not accept
decisions on matters which have
been so submitted.
In conclusion the article recalls
that such a project was suggested
in the pope's appeal to belligerent
nations on Aug. I. 1917.

New York. March 12.-Because
Mrs. Betty Inch was too generous
in the display of her ankles to

prosecutor professed ignorance for
the reason for the erection of the
barrier. court attendants recalled
a statement OF the latter when the

must not show her ankles to the
Jurors at the next trial" else he
would "ask the court to make her

British Army Men, 81

American citizens, 10 sink the
transport TolOa unless i'm
mediateIy allowed to Land and
proceed to destinations In the
United States by rail, were re-
ported to the Canadian author
ities today by Captain Jackson,
commander of the transport.
The Toloa, after debarking Cana
dian troops here, sailed for New
York with the American bound con-
tingent on March 10, but were or
dered back to this port TO coal for
the return trip to England because
of the outbreak of the harbor strike
in New York.
At Mercy OF Men.
Captain Jackson told the author
tiles that he had no guns aboard
and that his ship was at the mercy
of the soldiers.
The captain said that his orders
from the British admiralty were to
take the men to Halifax and dis
embark them there, but the mill
tary authorities at Ottawa refused,
it is stated, to furnish transporta-
tion of the men to their homes in
the United States. After having
started for New York and being
forced to return the men complain
ed bitterly of being held up in their
journey and their threats resulted.
Men without a COuntry2
They say that after serving in
the British army for various terms
or from two to four years it would
almost seem they are citizens of no
country. Most of them come to
Canada during the early months OF
the war and enlisted in the British
expeditionary forces.
After consultation with the au-
thorities, the only answer that Cap
ship today was the fact those who
had enough money to pay their
transportation and sufficient addi
tionaI money to meet the United
States immigration laws would be.
allowed to land.
But only a small number. II is
understood, possess the necessary
funds.
The captain said he disclaimed
all responsibility for anything that
might happen when the decision
became known TO the men.
Must Furnish Proof.
The American immigration or
cials were appealed to, but they
took the ground that the men pos
sessed no papers proving them to
be American citizens or residents,
and that in the absence of these
they would have to pay their en-
trance fee of IS and the amount OF
money stipulated by the American
immigration laws in addition to
transportation before being passed
for entry into the United States
The TOloa is under orders to re-
main here until Friday, coaling be
