wage corps Of the war department
threatens to block the hand grenade
bank campaign recently announced by
the savings division of the treasury
department. The salvage officials
contend that the 15,000.00O empty
hand grenades made to blow up Ger
mans, but never filled with explosives
after the armistice was signed, are
worth 25 cents each as junk, under
prevailing high prices. This. amounts
to $3.50 900.
The treasury officials want to use
them as children's savings banks as a
medium for the collection of more
than s60,O00,000 to be invested in
War Savings Stamps. Each boy or
girl under ten years who bought
enough Thrift Stamps to get War
Savings stamp was to receive u real
hand grenade converted into a savings
bank. Those from ten to seventeen
would have to buy two stamps. The
question now to he officially decided
is whether the hand grenades have a
higher value as souvenirs or as junk.

Alouette. who reached here today
from Scapa Flow, where the Ger
man ships were sunk.
II pulled alongside German de-
stroyer when / saw the ship begin
to settle" said Lieut.. Nuttall. and
ordered the Germans back to close
the seacocks. Four or five of them
turned back. whereupon the German
officers shot three of them dead. We
then opened fire on the officers and
several of them dropped.
Others among the Germans then
returned and closed the seacocks.
The Germans were also driven back
to four or five other destroyers. They
closed the seacocks in time to keep
the vessels afoat."
Lieut.. Nuttall reports that the Em-
den has been pumped out and is now

unanimous (eXcept for the parties
thereto) no member of the League
can attack another member that com
plies with il. And third, If member
chooses to-aceept mandate over a
backward territory it must do so on
the terms agreed upon by the MEM
bers of the League or fixed by the
Council. In two other cases the Coun-
ell has power to take action that has a
binding effect, but not on the members
of the League. 1t can determine con-
ditions on which an outside power
may join the League. either for the
I purpose of settling a particular dis
pute, or permanently, and in this last
case it can regulate the military equip
ment the new member may possess.
Not a Super-Sovcrign
We may observe that only in mat
ters of procedure and appointment
and in publishing facts and recon-
mendations in a dispute where it can
not make a report with any binding
effect, can the Council act by ma
jority. In all other cases. even where
/ it only gives advice, its vote must be
unanimous. The only exception is
that in deciding a dispute the votes
of the parties thereto are not counted.
The United States might thus be pre-
vented by act of the Council from at
tacking member of the League when
all the other members of the Council
thought we were in the wrong. Save
in that case no action of the Council
which must be unanimous even the
making of recommendations, can take
place unless the United States con-
ours. The fear, therefore, of super
sovereign. a loss of our national
sovereignty, or Council that rules
the world. is the result of inattentive
reading of the documents or of an
overheated imagination.s

posed exclusively of the representa-
tives of the five largest nations those
five could, If they agreed together
exert such an influence as practically
to rule the League, and in fact the
whole world. 1t is important, there
fore, that the small states should
be represented on the Council, and
that the states having seats there
should not always be the same. To
accomplish this result the Assembly
lis empowered to select from time to
time the states that shall be in
the assembly so that the small
states will far outnumber the
large ones and each state has
one vote, the states to have seats
smaller members of the League. In
order, moreover, that important action
affecting any smaller state may not be
taken in it's absence it is further pro-
vided that in such case the state
shall be specially invited to attend.
Thus effectiveness by the presence of
the larger states is combined with fair
consideration for the smaller ones.
No Executive Power
1t it noteworthy that in, revising
the draft OF the Covenant the name of
the Executive Council was changed to
Council, because it is not in fact en-
trusted with executive power. Apart
from matters relating to the organiza-
tion of the League-sueh as the ap-
'pointment of the Secretary General,
and of permanent commissions. and
the naming, with the approval of the
Assembly, of additional members of
the Council-its functions are almost
wholly advisory or supervisory. Thus
IL is to formulate plans for reducing
ornaments. to give advice on restrict
ing the private manufacture of arms
and on the means of resisting aggres-
sion upon the integrity of member
of the League, to propose steps TO
give effect to an arbitral award. to
formulate plans for a permanent court
of Justice, to endeavor to effect the
settlement of disputes between two
bers of the League, to conduct
inquiries in such cases, to publish
facts and recommendations If it fails
to reach an effective decision of a dis
pute, to recommend military contin-
gents in case of an attack upon a MEM
Der of the League, to make recommen-
dations to prevent hostilities between
non members. and finally to supervise
the prohibition of trade in white
slaves. opium. etc. and the adminis-
tration of interna tional bureaus.
When Its Action Binds
The only cases in which the Coun-
Gil has power to take action that has
a binding effect of any kind upon the
members of the League are three.
First. II plan for a reduction OF ar

mem bers. no one of them can exceed
it during the period for which il has
been adopted without the consent of
