Great Britain to come to the aid of
France in case of unprovoked ag-
gression by Germany, says:
For the first time a convention
of this kind is made public directly
after its conclusion. This may be
called an act af diplomacy, accom-

relative to It's conclusion are known.
1.-THE League of Nations cannot
operate Immediately. Years may go
by before it really comes into force,
and in the meantime France may
again be the victim of aggression.
The danger of aggression menaces
France more than any country which
is a member of the League, Amer

Fort Pitt Won Second Match in
Pennsylvania State Rifle League

The second match of the Penn
sylvania League was shot during the
last two weeks in June, Fort Pitt
easily winning this match. Each
club increased their teams scores
by an average of about 10 points
over those of the first match.
A peculiar thing about the second
match was that each team practical
ly reversed itself, as the team leaders
in the first match nearly all shot
their way onto the wrong end Of
the team and the tail enders took
advantage of this to win a place in
the hall of fame.
P. H. Dillman was the star of the
shoot by scoring las, having a pos
sible at 200 yards rapid fire and a
total of 95 on the slow fire. DR..
waugaman of Fort Pitt also scored
a possible at 200. Dillman led for
Fort Pitt with las, Unger for Har-
