Diplomacy Starts Row.
Argentina's withdrawal from the as
sembly was made more noticeable by
Pueyrrendon'S resignation as an Off
Ger. At the same time the assembly
was compelled to note another cause
of friction-a difference between old
and new diplomacy.

Rowell, Canadian delegate, devoted his
time late yesterday to a lashing OF
European diplomacy
The French delegates were especially
hurt.
Canadian Leads New Split.
Rowell was aroused by the efforts

number of technical commissions
superfluous-
howell declared it was useless to
burden the league with a number OF

certain of it's own existence. M Hano-

Bulgaria's Chances Bright.
The strong opposition of the mem
bers of the little entente" to the ad-
mission of Bulgaria into the League OF
Nations was materially weakened this
1 morning by the receipt by the COM
! mission on the admission of new states
of a report from Marshal Foch stating
that Bulgaria has fulfilled her treaty
obligations better than any other
enemy country Rumania, Serbia,
tCzecho-Slovakia and Greece have been
conducting a fight for several weeks
against the entrance of Bulgaria al
this time, all submitting alleged vlo-
llations of the treaty by Bulgaria:
Final action on the application
probably will be taken by the commits
sion this afternoon. 1t is believed
THAT Marshal Foch's report may over
lcome the opposition of the little en-
ltente."

ther than that of any other enemy
state, her army now consisting of 3d.
900 men, instead of 10000 as con-
tended by nations opposing her aornls-
sion to the league.
