to insure it's practical efficiency. It is our firm belief that through it's instrumentality alone, We can hope to insure that such miseries that the world has experienced during the past five years shall not be repeated and that new era of international relationship shall dawn.
 ''The league of nations is an eS- pression of the universal desire for saner methods of regulating affairs of mankind, and provides machinery by which practical effect may be given the principles of international friendship and good understanding The success of the labors of the peace conference is good augury for the future of the league of nations. For the first time an attempt was made to bring together under the aus pices of the elague representatives of government employees and labors and an advance exceeding the results of the entire work of the previous quar- ter of century has been made in the field of international action on industrial questions"
 All of the members of the council called for the covenant of the league with the exception of the represent atives of the United States were pres ent when NJ. Bourgeois called the meeting to order. Besides M. Bour- geois. the members were Earl Curzon, the British foreign secretary for Great Britain; Premier Venizelos for Greece: Carlo Ferraris, Italian min fster of industry, commerce, labor and food for Italy; Paul Hymans, the Belgian foreign minister, for Bel gium; Baron Matsui, ambassador to France, for Japan; Dr. Gastoa Da Cunza, ambassador to France, for Brazil, Count Quinones De Leon, am bassador to France for Spain.
 Premier Lloyd-George of Great Britain and Viscount Grey dropped into the meeting at an early stage. MT. Lloyd-George soon retired, how ever, Viscount Grey remaining. He was invited to a front seat.
 No mention of the Irish protest was made during the meeting of the council but copies were handed to the newspaper correspondents after they left the foreign office. The docu-
  It registered objections to the 'pre- tended league of nations" and de clared the league to be an "engine Of power designed to secure and per petuate English hegemony through out both hemispheres."
 The protest insisted that the league was illusory and incomplete lacking authority and sanction and declared that the United States stood out in indignation and repudiation Of it.
 Premier Venizelos., without rising. opened the proceedings by nominat- ing MT. Bourgeois for chairman. Lord Curzon seconded the nomination and M. Bourgeois was unanimously elect ed. After. speeches by NJ. Bour- geois and Lord Curzon. Signor Fer raris. on behalf of Italy, said his na- ton was glad to respond to the invi- tatfon "of the president and the great American people," He mentioned the skepticism amidst which the league was born and said this was fact to be neither exaggerated TO ig- nored. He added that among the duties of the league would be to give attention to the high cost of transpor- tation, the high cost of living, and the state of international finance. After the delivery of the speeches, M. Bourgeois announced that the only item on the order was the appoint ment of three members of the com missioners to ike the boundaries Of the Sarre valley. together with one member appointed by the French government and one by Germany. The council named as it's members Colonel Wace, an English officer Major Lambert. Belgian and Major Kobash, a Japanese.
