aimee concerning the positive function
of the league.
Eleven articles of the project for the
society Of nations were discussed and
approved with small notifications by
the peace conference commission on
that subject at its meeting last night
President Wilson presided at the meet
ing.
The only article not approved was
the paragraph concerning abolition OF
compulsory military service unless re-
quired by reason of national defense

paragraph, remarking that il conscrlp-
ton once we're abolished an attempt

defenses. The paragraph was then
cancelled and it was decided to leave
| to each country freedom to select a
system of recruiting its forces upto
| the amount of troops which will be
<hxed later by the society Of nations.
Another article which caused anil
| mated discussion was that concerning
the method Of applying military coer-
cion to the countries refusing to COM

the commission decided to postpone
a definite decision until another meet
