PARIS, February 13.-The commits
sion on the society of nations resumed
its sessions at 1920 O'Clock this morn
ing, with full attendance of Inc
members, to receive the report of the
drafting committee. 1t was hoped to
reach final adjustment at today's sit

If this hope is realized it may be

nations technically rested today while
awaiting a report from its drafting
committee its individual members were
nearly all busy on other commission
work. The drafting committee COM
pleted it's task at short session this
forenoon. 1t is the general impress
sion that the drafting committee was
charged with the extremely important
and delicate task of reconciling what
ent views by the French and Ameri-
can members of the commission re-
specting the maintenance of an in
ternatlonal army to enforce the prin-
ciples of the society of nations.
In fact, the drafting committee was
engaged largely in clarifying some
of the language in the draft plan not
connected with the international army
project sponsored by Leon Bourgeois,
one of the French representatives on the
commission on a society of nations. 1t
is the opinion of individual members
that it will not be as serious an obstacle
to the completion of the great project as

was given ample time at yesterdays
session to explain his views, and 1t Is

Sessions. He added that he wanted to
give both sides chance to prepare
their cases, but that he would insist
that the trial date be arranged for an

To Death Each Year ir,
Mexico, Surrey Shoes

The situation in Mexico, particularly
as it affects women and children, will
be discussed at a dinner given at the
Waldorf tomorrow night by the Child
hood Conservation League.
Three months ago the league sent a
commission of prominent men to Mex
ico to ascertain at first hand the facts
as to the conditions there, with the
idea of giving them to the public, un
biased by politics or other influence.
The commission has returned and will
make public at the dinner the report
of it's findings. According to informa-
tion supplied by General Alvarado,
Governor of Yucatan, members of the
commission say that 5000 children are
dying annually in Mexico from starva-
tion and 5000 are without homes or
schools in the City of Mexico alone.
The league, only recently organized,
is headed by Norman Bridge, a philan-
thropist, of Chicago, with William II.
Teeter, head of the Latin-American
Bureau of the Methodist Church. as
secretary. The organization, embrac-
ing all creeds, aims to better condi-
tions in all Latin American countries
through cooperation with institutions

Great Benefits

BERLIN, Nov. 80 (By The Associated
Press).- Berlin hotelkeepers are debat-
ing measures for levying a tax on for
eigners. who not only are overfowing
the hotels, but are suspected of living
cheaper than natives, in view of the
premium commanded on foreign money
spent by them.
The governments alarm over the
manner in which the process of "sell-
ing out Germany" continues has finally
forced it to enact temporary measures,
which are calculated to check exports
while legislation is in course of prep
aration.
Provisions already adopted call for
Imprisonment for the export of com
modities which affect the vital needs
of the nation and of other things of
which Germany is being gradually
stripped as a result of the low value
of her money. There is also to be more
rigid frontier control on exports.
