devised and should be regarded
as free from any just objection so
far as they relate to the settle
ment of the political questions at
which they are really aimed. The
provisions which taken together
accomplish this result are of the
highest value. They are devel-
oped naturally from the interna-
tional practice of the past. They
are a great step forward. They
create an institution through
which the public opinion of man
kind, condemning unjust aggres-
sion, and unnecessary war, may
receive effect and exert its power
for the preservation of peace, in
stead Of being dissipated in fruit
less protest of lamentation.
Indeed the revised covenant OBJ
viously aims at wider field, and
embraces within it's scope the settle
ment, not only of political, but of
legal questions as well. 1t is, there
fore, a great improvement upon the
original scheme.

Defects Not Irremediable.

days after the submission of the
dispute to the Council.
Defects Not Irremediable.
The defect in this plan is that it
fails to lay down any rule binding
upon the Council or the Assembly
for the determination of disputes of
justiciable nature. The omission
is somewhat emphasized by the pro
vision in Article XIV, that
''if the dispute between the par
ties is claimed by one of them,
and is found by the Council to
arise out of a matter which by in
ternational law is solely within
the domestic jurisdiction of that
party, the Council shall so report,
and shall make no recommended
ton as to its settlement"
In this case, the Council must be
governed in its decision by interna-
tional law, whereas there is no such
provision in express language made
binding upon the Council or Assem-
bly, with respect to arriving at their
recommendations or report concern
ing disputes, even of the nature de-
scribed in Article XIII, and defined
by Senator Root as justiciable.
But it can hardly be imagined that
the Council would decide, except up
on well recognized principles of in
ternational law, any dispute which in
wolves the Interpretation of a treaty,
a question of international law,
breach of international obligation, or
damages from such breach. 1t also
may reasonably be assumed that
there will grow up in the application
of these provisions a body of prece-
dents which in themselves will con-
stitute Qualifications of international
law, and thus carry out one of the
expressed in the preamble;
namely, the firm establishment of the
understandings of international law
as the actual rule Of conduct among
governments.
A Long Step Forward.
Article XVI provided that should
any member of the League resort to
war in disregard of the covenants
above referred to, it shall ipso facto
be deemed to have committed an act
of war against all the other mem
bers of the League, involving as
consequence: % the severance of
all trade or financial relations and
the termination of all intercourse be-
tween the members of the League
and the covenant breaking state; ~
the expulsion from the League of
the covenant breaking state, and (3)
such military and naval action as
may be agreed upon by the League:
The amended Covenant certainly
has not weakened the provisions of
the original Articles XI, XII, XIV and
XVI, concerning which Senator Root
wrote,

Senator Lodge objected to the

ground that it bound US to submit
every possible international dispute
either to the League court or to the
control of the Executive Council of
the League. Senator Root,o the
other hand, objected that it aban-
doned the principle of compulsory ar

delegation contended in the Second
Hague Conference, and failed to es-
tablish a permanent court Of arbitra-
ton. BY the revised Covenant CAR

TODAYs LETTER TAKES UP

tration or to inquiry by the Coun-
Gil, and they agree in no case to
resort to war until three months
after the award by the arbitrator
or the report by the Council"
This provision clearly adopts the
principles contended for by the Am
erican delegates to The Hague. 1t
is supplemented by Article XIII,
whereby it is agreed that whenever
any dispute shall arise between mem
bers of the League, which they recog-
nize to be suitable for submission to
arbitration, and which cannot be sat
isfactorily settled by diplomacy, they
will submit the whole subject matter
to arbitration; and by Article XIV,
which requires the Council to formu
late and submit to the members of
the League for adoption plans for
the establishment of a permanent
court of international justice, which
shall be competent to hear and de-
termine any dispute of an interna-
tional character which the parties
may submit to it, and which may also
give an advisory opinion upon any
dispute or question referred to it by
the Council or by the Assembly.
Roots Criticism.
Senator Root urged an amendment
hv which tho 11oov,, Iooxo - e AL .
should agree to refer to arbitration
all disputes of a justiciable charac-
ter, which he defined to be.
disputes as to the Interpretation
OF a treaty, as to any question of
international law, as to the ex-
istence Of any fact which, if es-
tablished, would constitute
breach of any international obi
cation, or as to the nature to be
made for any such breach"
The revised Covenant, without spe-
officially adopting that definition, in
Article XIII, declares all disputes of
the character mentioned by Senator
Root to be
among those which are generally
suitable for submission to arbi-
tration";
and further, that for the considera-
ton of any such dispute, the court
of arbitration to which the case is
referred shall be the court agreed on
by the parties to the dispute, or stip-
ulated in any convention existing be-
tween them. If, however, the par
ties to any such dispute should fail
voluntarily to submit it to arbitra-
ton, they are bound, by Article XIV,
to submit it to the Council. In that
event, the Council is to endeavor to
effect a settlement, and if it fails to
do so, then it may either unanimously
or by majority vote, publish re-
port containing a statement of the
facts of the dispute and the recon-
mendations deemed just and proper
in regard thereto. If the report is
unanimously agreed to by all the
members of the Council, except those
representing the disputants the mem
bers agree not to go to war with any
party to the dispute which complies
with the recommendation of the re-
port. The Council may also refer
any such dispute to the Assembly,
and shall so refer it at the request of
either party, made within fourteen

IDAHO SPORTSMEN
RAISED THE Limit
Biggest Cash offer Ever
Placed Before Box
ing Promoter
\
LOOKS LIKE A WIN

'Biddy' Bishop, sporting editor of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, tells at
length in his paper of the offer of
the Idaho sportmen for the Willard
Dempsey match. Among other
things he says:
"The offer of the Pocatello sports
men and business men is said to be
the biggest cash inducement ever
placed before boxing promoter 1t
liktwise represents the largest finan-
cial backing in the history of the
glove sport. 1t is also unsurpassed
by facilities from the entire country.
The Idaho men are gamesters when
it comes to doing big things. J.
Robb Brady, president of the Poca-
tell Athletic club, is one of the
widely-known men in the northwest.
Like Tex Rickard, he will take
chance. If Idaho gets the big match
it will draw big from Salt Lake,
Butte, Spokane, Seattle, San Fran
cisco, Portland and all the large
cities out that way"

MORNING FIRE DE-
STROYS DWELLING
Origin of Fire is Un-
known; All Adjacent
Property Saved
FIRE TRUCK BALKS

A continued blast of locomotive
whistle at o'clock Wednesday
morning announced fire in Black
foot and at that moment the whole
business section was lit with red
glare. A one-story dwelling at No.
81 North Ash street, belonging to
Miss Alice Beach, and recently oc-
cupied by the George Cheshire family
burned to the ground by 4.30 o'clock.
Property adjacent on the south
side, the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
R. Pendrie, was saved by the use
Of a garden hose and later the fire
hose. Had there been a wind the
whole row of houses would undoubt-
edly have caught fire, but only
gentle breeze blew, and carried the
high sparks over the Pendrie house
toward the Boise Payette Lumber
company's yard.
The fire alarm bell was first rung
by Night Watchman Joseph Lacour,
when the blaze had made some head
way at $40. The firemen had much
difficulty with the big extinguisher
truck, which finally had to be pushed
around by gang of men, first to
Ash and Bridge, and then to
hydrant in front of the Brown
Eldredge store.
At about 4.2O they hooked up with
the chemicals and squirted some on
the fire and some on the fence and
next door roofs. Several little fires
had started on the Pendrie roof,
but held in check by the garden hose
until the department arrived. BY !
this time the burning building had
all caved in. A hose was attached
to a fire hydrant on West Bridge
then, and the blazing walls soon re-
duced to smoking remnants.
Started to Move Out
The two families living in the
Pendrie house had moved large
part of their possessions outside
while the danger seemed threaten
ing. Some shade trees standing be-
tween the fire and the neXt-door
broke the force of heat enough to
save it until the water was put on.
Began in Basement
Mr.. Pendrie was the man who
turned in the alarm. He had been
awakened by smell of smoke COM
ing thru his open window. He in
vestigated at once, and found that
there was too much fire coming up
from beneath the kitchen floor for
him to handle alone, altho few men
with buckets might have extin-
guished it.
When the hose arrived James
Boyle showed effective skill in d.
recting the chemical stream to the
right spots.
