DISCUSSIONS ON
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Lansing, Pesident of Commission Il
Fix Responsibility and Pen.
alties Of Guilty Ones

Paris, Feb. 3.-At the meeting of the
commission on a society OF nations
this afternoon there was a general
agreement to push the deliberations
as rapidly as possible. An official
statement says that a definite program
was formulated and that an agree
ment was reached to begin detailed
discussion on Tuesday.
Paris, Feb. 3.-Robert Lansing, the
American secretary of state was un-
animously elected president of the
committee on responsibility for the
war which held its first meeting today
at the foreign office.
In proposing Secretary Lansing's
name, Captain Andre Tardieu, the
French member of the committee, said
that before instituting a peace of JUS
tice it was necessary to impose penal
ties upon the authors of the agrees
sions which had brot death TO millions.
The work of the committee, he ex-
planned, would be first TO study the
facts which would establish the guilt
of those responsible or premeditated
violation of treaties and international
law, and second, to fix the penalties
which would be defined and applied.
He closed by proposing Secretary
Lansing for president, which was ap-
proved by the committee.
League of Nations Meets
Paris, Feb. 3.-President Wilson
presided at the opening meeting of the
league of nations commission which
was held in Colonel Houses apart
ments this afternoon and lasted from
2 to 5 o'clock.
Special interest attached to the
meeting owing to the feeling that the
action of the council on the matter
of the former German colonies re-
quired the early presentation of a de-
finite plan on the constitution OF the
league
President Wilson greeted the mem
bers and took a leading part in the
discussion. This was no longer gen
eral, but specific, as the meeting had
before 1t the printed text Of the agreed
plan for the formation Of the league.
The text was in English. as had been
decided upon at a recent meeting be-
tween President Wilson, Lord Robert
Cecil, General SHUTS and Premier Or
AS some of the members of the COM
mission do not speak English II was
determined to defer full discussion
until the French text could be pre-
when the debate will proceed
by article. This probably will
be tomorrow night.
kltho the agreed text seeks to bring
together the views of all quarters,
there are three other plans which VIII
also be considered. The following Of
fetal communication was issued on
today's meeting:
1.-THE commission met to compare
yiows on procedure and to arrive at
a method which will facilitate pro-
gress. 1t was agreed that an accord
in principle had been reached oy the
resolution previously passed by the
conference, and that the discussion
should proceed accordingly at the next
meeting, which is called for $3.50
O'Clock Tuesday evening at the Hotel
de Crillon."

A Simple Way To

There is one sure way that has new

and that is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this. just
get about four ounces of plain, COM
mon liquid arvon from any drug store
(this is all you will need), apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have,
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy. lustrous.

Santa Fe AbOliSheS Overtime
Work on System.
Relieve Unemployment Situa-
ton in This Manner.
MEANS MUCH TO Topeka
When Duties Are Too Heavy
More To Be Employed.
Rule Applies in All the Shops
and Offices.

Under a policy, apparently adopted
by the railroad administration, the
working of employees overtime except
in unavoidable cases has been abol-
ished by the Santa Fe railway COM
pany here in offices, shops and out
on the line" The new policy is the
result of several changes in policy
since the administration announced its
last wage arrangement.
Several months ago orders were re-
ceived by Topeka operating and exc
cutive officials to the effect that en-
ployes, both union and non-union
were to be paid on an S-hour work
ing day basis, including overtime for
work in excess of the schedule. I'm
der the schedule. considerable dissat-
isfaction on the part of employees and
speculation on the part of officials was
registered owing TO the question of
whether or not employees would be
paid for time lost on account of sick
ness or an hour or two taken off
during working hours.
Interpretation of the order by To-
peka officials resulted in a rule that
no pay would be made for time off
except vacations. Later this order was
ton, and a policy of no overtime work,
but larger force of employees in lieu
thereof, is being worked out.
This scheme, it is pointed out by
officials. will serve to furnish en-
p!oyment for more men, altho it migh1
not furnish higher monthly pay for
fewer employees. The idea being, of
course, to combat the unemployment
evil as much as possible.
