solicitor general, expressed the

1t is understood the COMMITTEES
having in charge the selection of the
official seat of the league of nations
has reached a definite decision in ia.
vor of Geneva.
Brussels, The Hague, Rome and
Constantinople also were considered
by the committee.
The Hague, although it has the ad.
vantage of possessing a building for
peace conferences that would imme-
diately be available, is objected to
by several countries, especially some
of the Latin world, which oppose set
Ting the future league of nations in
Holland. Another group opposes
Brussels. Rome, although the cradle
of international law, must be dis
carded, the conference having almost
unanimously decided that no great
power shall have the seat of the
league. Constantinople is opposed
because it is not convenient of ac
cess.

members Of the supreme economic
council and the financial advisers

are under consideration and such
progress has been made as to JUS
tify the expectation that this sub
ject will be finally disposed of on
Tuesday or Wednesday of the com
ing week.
The council or four has also given
fresh consideration to the question
of the Saar valley and it is believed
that the council has virtually settled
upon plan to permit Germany to
retain political sovereignty, while
France will be given economic con-
troll of the mineral resources in that
section for a limited time allowance
for the settlement of indemnity.

ELlHU ROOT IN FAVOR
OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Former Secretary of State Would
Amend in a Few Instances to
Protect Interests of U. S.

New York.-Elihu Root declared
himself Sunday an advocate of the
league of nations covenant made pub
lie by the peace conference provided
it is amended, primarily by writing
enforcement clauses into the articles
calling for arbitration and limitation
of ornaments, by restricting to five
years the unanimous guaranty of the
present political and territorial status
of members, and by protecting from
non-American interference the affairs
of the American continents.
He made his approval contingent
also upon amendments assuring peri
odic revision of international law and
a general redrafting of the covenant
in an atmosphere removed by several
years from the issues attendant upon
the settlement of a world war.
To dispel doubt as to the right of
withdrawal from the league, he ia
vored specific revision of this privi-
lege to any signatory, coincident with
or after the proposed redrafting con-
ference.
If these changes could be made,
the former secretary of state as
serted, it would be "the clear duty" of
the United States to enter into the
league agreement, in keeping with
what he termed apparent general de-
sire of the American public that the
country do its full share toward the
establishment of an effective interna-
iional organization to preserve the
peace of the world"

HUNGARY NOW COPIES
TIE MOSCOW SOVIET
Bank Presidents Are Mere Figure
heads-Clerks Rule-WeaIthy
Are Hit Hard.

Vienna.-Following the practice put
into effect by the Russian soviet gov
eminent at Moscow, bank presidents
in Budapest have become mere figure
heads, while soviet clerks administer
the business. Rents no longer are
paid to landlords, but to the govern
ment, which is represented by the jan
itors. The stores have been national
lied and the heads of factories have
been replaced by those elected by the
workmen.
The banking business is being han
dicapped under the new regulations.
No one is allowed to draw out more
than 800 except in the palment of
salaries. A check must be signed by
all the trustees before it is submit
ted to a bank, where it is honored
on the condition that the trustees of
the institution are shown to be en-
ployes.
During the period in wghich inven-
tories are being taken all stores are
closed except for the sale of food
and drugs.
Thousands of refugees are travel
in gtoward Vienna. All are deprived
oft heir belongings at the frontier if
they attempt to pass the border with
out being searched.
More Russian Than German.
Members of the wealthy class have
resolved to tarry in Budapest and
await events. Countess aMry Karol-
vi, a cousin of Count Karolyi who
recently resigned as provisional pres
ident of Hungary is quoted as saying.
I'VE have been reduced to Is acres
of land and one horse. 1t is better to
have that than roam over the world
homeless. We have got to live some
where, so it will be here
There are but two classes in Hun
gary-aristocrats and peasants. The
republic seemingly is more Russian
than German.
All estates have been appropriated
by the government. American affi-
Gals are being well treated by the
Hungarian officials and American
couriers are allowed to pass in and
out of Budapest without hindrance.
Telegraph service is restricted and
slow.
Count karolyi Not Damaged.
Count Karolyis position has not
been damaged by the new regime, ac-
cording to political observers, who say
he cleverly vacated his position as
provisional president by shifting re-
sponsibiiity for the course of events
to the allies and then urging resist
ance against the entente which re-
suited in a union of the social demo
Gratis and the communists.

ASK RULING ON
ELECTION BIDS.
Governor RunyOn Takes Up Mat
ter With Attorney General

! By Special Correspondent.
| TRENTON, Aug. 13.-Because of the
failure of the Edge Reform Election
Board Act of last year to specifically
provide the terms of the men I'M to
the district election boards in the vari-
Gus voting districts throughout the
State, some of the County Boards of
Election which have just organized,
are in doubt as to the appointments
they have to make his year. At a re-
suit Governor Runyonn today asked
Attorney General McCran for a ruling.
Inquiries are reaching me concern
ing certain duties of members of the
various County Boards of Election who
are doubtful as to their district board
appointments" said the Governors
letter. THE doubt in their minds is
as to whether they have this year to
appoint two or four members to each
district board.
"Will you, therefore, give at your
earliest convenience your opinion as to
the law bearing upon the subject, the
doubt also extending apparently to the
terms of the district officers to be
chosen"
Under the Edge Act of last veal the
County Election Board must certify the
names of election officers for the voting
district boards to the county sheriffs by
August 20, which places the appoint
ments on practically the same basis as
grand jury panels, which serve for one
term of court. Under the old system
of the Geran Election Act, they were
appointed, through civil service, for
terms of two years.
After the passage of the Edge law
last year entire new boards of four
members, two Democrats and two Re
publicans were named in each county,
but it appears no terms of service were
specified.
