Imperative That Nations Should Delay Before Releasing War Dogs IS LORD CECIL'S OPINION
British League of Nations Exponent Thinks World is Not Ready For Rigid System of Preserving Peace -Giycs His Views.

London, Jan. 22.-Lord Robert Cecil, who today announced at Paris that he had submitted to the peace congress a draft Of the British view of the subject of the league of na- tiOns, believes the world has not vet reached a stage at which an absolute ly rigid system for the preservation of international peace can be set up, according to a Reuters dispatch from the French capital. Tn discussing his idea of the form the league should take, Lord Robert says he thinks an international tribunal with absolutely binding powers is not practicable at present.
 "The creation of non-rigid interna- tional machinery by which a council by eXerting influence toward concilia- ton, may work, will be the main strength of future peacemakers, he said. Such a body must however, possess at least sufficient internation- ally guaranteed power to be able to prevent surprise declarations of war and to compel disputants to accept delay, during which forces of civii- zation may have time to try to avert a calamity.
 "The interdependence of modern states has become so great that no nation can control it's own affairs en- tire1y without regard to the effects of it's actions on other nations. It is easy to see that in the future certain cities located on waterways will have to be under international control, (which will guarantee free access to them. Some of the new states formed out of the Austro- Hungarian empire, for example, cannot possibly have in dependent access to the sea. SWitzer- land is, according to newspaper dis patches, considering a plan which will give her a way to reach tidewater. Certain nations have a strong interest in having free access to SalOniki but it is out of the question for them to plan possession of that port. The most important example of this kind, of course, is that of the Dardanelles and the BospOrus.
 Delay which can give opportunity for discussion and cOnciliatiOn will be the main resource of the league in dealing with disputes in which the vi tai interests of great nations are in volved. As in the peace congress, the ultimate decision must rest with the great powers, since, as a last resort, the league can enforce it's decisions only by the military power which will always be possessed by the great na- tions.
 'In general the power on which the league must mainly rely will be public opinion, and it is for this req son that the power imposing delay on disputants is so important"
 New states formed out of the wreck of the Austro-H garian monarchy, Lord Robert said, could be admitted to the league without difficulty as soon as settled governments were ] esta blished.

Plan Docs Not Call For Morrison Code, But Seeks to Improve School Conditions - Several Bills Intro duccd Today.

Hartford, Jan. 23.-The furry in legislative circles today was over report that a new code for adnliniS- tration of the schools of the state had been introduced. This supposed bill has been referred to as the Morrison code" apparently because the assist ant secretary of the state board or education, MT. Morrison, had made references in recent addresses to an effort to secure uniformity m School conduct by the state board. The Dill has not yet been offered. Senator Haz- en, chairman of the committee on education stated today that there was a wrong impression existing over a bill which the state board would submit and which while on its way to the general assembly had been de- layed for some reason. He said the bill did not attempt to establish Morrison code. It would chiefly aim at removing antiquities in school administration in towns which are under direction of the state board. 1t would bring all such schools under one law, whereas now some schools are run under one law and some un- der another It would give the state board more power to raise school standards both in courses and in the teachers. Towns would still retain control over their school property and be required to furnish school houses.
