meet on May l9-an earlier date than

control both houses, are busy prepar-
Ing their program. The house must
hurry through lot OF appropriation
bills and In the senate will be staged
the great debate over the peace treaty,
and especially the covenant OF the
league Of nations. II Is predicted that
the senate will give the entire treaty
its approval. though many Of the men,
bers will argue long and earnestly
against the league covenant as 1t
stands. The supporters Of the league
undoubtedly will have the immense as
sistance of addresses by the president,
who will return in time to take the

directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fiufliness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace Of dandruff

Will be after about we weeks use,

hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe. the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam

never fails to stop falling hair ut once.
If You want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv

OBSTACLES
WERE OVERCOME
Task of Organizing League OF Ma
tons Consisted of Remov-
ing difficulties.
FREEDOM OF THE SEAS
With Perfect Orga 1Ization There
WIN Be No NeutraIs and Con-
sequentIy No Questions Of
Sea Traffic Can Arise.

Paris, Feb. 15.-Now that the prof.
ect for the creation of a league of n a
tions, which was the principal object
OF the gathering of representatives of
most of the states not in arms. has
been successfully launched, II may be
proper to tell of some of the difficult
ties encountered and to indicate the
status OF some of the great issues re-
naming TO be adjusted by the peace
conference.
While there was uDanimity as TO the
desirability of a league Of nations, it
soon developed that some of the dele.
gates. skeptical Of its immediate eff
cheney. desired to maintain the old
order OF balances of power and pro-
tected frontiers until the new system
had demonstrated its capacity to meet
the needs OF pe~ace-loving nations. Pa
tient endeavor and many long sessions
of the supreme council itself, and
afterward OF the special commission
created to deal with the subject, were
necessary to establish to the satisfac-
ton of these threatened dissentors the
impossibility Of continuing the old or
der while installing the new.
Difficulties Overcome.
In fact, 1t was only within the. last
week that the difficulties facing the
league of nations were overcome, al
though with some m~isgivings, it Ia
true. The doubling nations were In.
,;,.ai IN sry Tho avparimapt of raIvipO
upon the honor and common interest
OF the other nations to insure the sue
cess Of the project. Then there was
the difference over the question OF
manufactures for backward peoples.
Rather heated arguments developed at
times. but these differences also were
adjusted with unanimity In the end.
Various big issues presented them
selves, some OF which we're skilfuiiy
diverted to commissions which are to
report afterward to the league of ma
tions, while others were rather sud-
denly disapproved In the light of the
development Of the plan for the league
OF nations.
Such was the vexed question OF free
dom of the sea- which ~ieepardized the
support of Great Britain. II was real
lied that with a perfect league OF ma
tiors there would be nc neutrals, and
that consequently nj question could
arise as to freedom of the sea- In time
Of war. while nj time of peace equit-
able relations between nations were
guaranteed by special provisions OF the
covenant.

Declines to Prevent Deportation
of Aliens Being Held at
Ellis Island.
RIGHTS NOT VIOLATED
Judge Knox Declares That He Must
Frown Upon Any Practice of OBJ
tanning Blanket Writs of
Habeas Corpus.

New York, Feb. 15.-Federal Judge
Knox dismissed a writ of habeas
corpus sworn out in an attempt TO
prevent deportation of SO aliens
brought here from western cities.
The court held that the petition for
the writ failed to show IN violation
of the rights Of the deportees.
However, in view OF the contention
of attorneys who claimed to represent
the prisoners, that refusal of immigra-
tion authorities to give them access to
Ellis Island, had prevented from from
obtaining information necessary to
specific allegations, Judge Knox an
nounced that the dismissal was with
out prejudice. Ii inspection OF the de.
portation records revealed indications
of injustice to any of the prisoners, he
stated, the writ, as relating to them,
might be renewed.
Frowns on Blanket Writs.
The court declared that he must
frown upon any practice Of obtaining
blanket writs of habeas corpus to re-
view the cases of persons, perhaps
hundreds In number. ordered deport-
ed from various sections of the coun-
try.
This statement was regarded by at
torneys as significant in view of Com
missioner of immigration Caminetti's
announcement hat approximately
5000 persons were awaiting deporta-
ton, several score of whom are al
ready on the way to New York and
other ports.
The judges pronouncement was OF
interest also as relating to a statement
by attorneys who argued for the writ
that the National Civic Liberties asso-
citation and the New York bureau Of
legal advice were cooperating in an
effort to assure Justice" to men and
women assembled here for enforced re-
turn to their native lands.
