important Item Out.

BY United Press.
PARIS, Feb. 15---One of the most
important items of the League of
Nations constitution is understood
today to have been eliminated at
the last moment before presenta-
tion yesterday at the session of the
peace conference.
This article, it is understood pro-
vided that the life of the league
in its present form should be 10
years The reason for the with
drawal of this provision could not
be ascertained. 1t is believed, how
ever that inasmucn as the present
organization is only tentative and
may be amended, there was no es-
sential reason for placing a time
limit in the constitution organiza-
ton.
The provision regarding new mem
bers is so framed that Austria and
Germany cannot be included in the
league until they give absolute as
surance that they will live up to the
peace terms imposed upon them
Russia must also furnish guarantees.
Following is a summary of the
league constitution:
The council shall meet as often as
is necessary but at least once a
year at whatever place may be de-
signated ANY matter within the
sphere of action of the league or af-
fecting the peace of the world will
be dealt with.
~ Wilson Calls First Meeting.
1Ne president of the United
States shall summon the first meet
ing of the body of delegates and the
executive council.
The league will have a secretariat
under the direction of a secretary
general, who shall appoint the other
members. The encouragement shall
act in that capacity at all meetings.
The representatives of the high
contracting parties and the officials
of the league shall have diplomatic
privileges and immunity. The build
ings occupied by the league or its
officials shall enjoy extra-territorial
benefits.
Two-Thirds Vote to Admit.
The admission of states not sigma
tory to the covenant shall be with
the assent of not less than two
thirds of the states represented in
the body of delegates and shall lbe
Limited to fully self-governing coun-
tries.
No state shall be admitted unless
it gives effective guarantees to OBJ
serve international obligations and
unless it shall conform to conditions
prescribed by the league in regard
TO its naval and military forces and
armament
The high contracting parties un-
dertake to respect and preserve the
territorial integrity and political in
dependence of all states members
of the league against external ag-
