Mr.. WILSON MAY CALL
FIRST LEAGUE MEETING

PARIS, December 20 Informal no.
tice of the first meeting of the coun-
Gil of the league of NATIONS will prob
ably be given day or two after the
exchange of ratifications of the treaty
ca bled the State Department in Wash
ington to this effect after this morn
ing's meeting of the supreme coun-
ell. which had the question under
consideration.
1t is still an open question whether
the formal call for the meeting shall
be issued by President Wilson as
originally provided for. or whether
in view of the fact that the, United
States has not ratified the trfaty the
call shall be issued by Premier Gle
menceau, the president Of the peace
conference. This question, as wen as
the place for the meeting OF the mem :
bers of the council, will probably oe
decided tomorrow.
The difficulty arising from the tact
that the United States has not ratined
the treaty and President Wilson con-
sequently will not be able to issue an
official convocation will be surmounted,

1t is considered here impossible that
the first meeting of the council VIII De
held in Washington. as originally pro-
vided, because of the urgency OF action
on some questions touching execution OF

here is that the members of the coun-
Gil will be asked to come to Paris.

ICOAL OPERATORS MEET
TO DISCUSS SITUATION
Will Determine Attitude to Be
Adopted Toward Findings of
Wage Commission.

CHICAGO, December 29.-Repre-
sentatives of coal operators in the BIZ
luminous fields met here today to dis
cuss the attitude to be adopted toward
the findings of the commission ap-
pointed by President Wilson to ad-
just wages of miners after settlement
of the recent nation wide strike.
The operators assert that they have
not committed themselves as to ac-
cepting or indorsing any decision the
Presidents commission may reach
Most of the mine owners opposed
any raise in miners wages above the
IA per cent set by DR.. H. A. Garfield,
former federal fuel administrator,
which became the preliminary wage
advance when the strike was settled
at indianapolis by Attorney General
Palmer and the union leaders. They
contended that any increase in wages
above the IA per cent would raise the
cost of production, and finally the con-
sumner would be obliged to pay a
higher price for coal

Jimmy Carten reports them unusually
thick this year and that they recently
killed yearIing for Jim McMenamin
and also attacked several of his animals,
njuring them quite badly
These obnoxious birds prefer fresh
meat to carrion, and when ther6'is lack
of wild game and dead animals for their
food will attack sheep or cattle They
light on the back of the animal and fer
ociousIy eat hole in the most tender
place, causing the victim intense suffer
ing and fual death, unless it can be
brushed of. Once started on this meth
Cd Of getting, food death for them is the
only sure cure. They are canny bird
and soon become wise TO the danger OF
guns fired at their flock so the best meth
Cd for their determination is poisoned

In addition TO the above habit, they
spread stock diseases from ranch to
ranch, aud the writer believes that they
are responsible in many cases for the
deadly blackleg.
Ranchers and farmers should unite
nov in making war upon them before
they become more serious menace,
also some South Dakota legislator might
get the idea of placing them under the
