HYMANS' LEAGUE IDEA

Paul Hymans. the new president OF
the assembly OF the league of nations,
has far different conception of the
league from that held by President Will
son. In his opening speech, Mr., Hymans
says:
Our aim is to establish between In
dependent states frequent and friendly
contact and meetings from which affini-
ties and sympathies will follow"
That forms rather a contrast to Arti-
Gle Y which pledges every member of
the league to preserve every other mem
Der against external aggression, and
makes military force the dominant fea'
ture OF the organization.
Mr.. Hymans voices what has always
been n typically American method. TIC
get together and talk things over" Is
the way both big and little events OF
every kind, are handled in the domain OF
Uncle Sam, 1t always has been so and
always viii be. II the league could dc
nothing else but this, it, would almost
undoubtedly be huge success.

RULES MAILS CAN'T
CARRY CHILDREN
Assistant Postmaster Gen.
eraI Decides They Are Not
Harmless Animals.

Since children do not come within
the classification of hapmless live
animals which do not require food
and water they may not be transport
ed as parcel post. according to noti-
fication which was given today by the
first assistant postmaster general to
the Washington city postmaster.
The reply was in answer to COM
munication from City Postmaster
Chance asking for an official decision
by the Post Office Department as to
the "mailability" OF children, two of
whom had applied to the local city
post Office for permission to trans
port themselves as parcel post.
The question of children as parcel
post IL thoroughly covered in the
postal laws and regulations, 1t Is de-
tlAr6d inf ttfAt Hon eesich de-
clares that harmless live animals
which do not require food and water,
such as goldfish and soft shell crabs,

This regulation clearly prohibits
children being mailed as parcel post
packages, it Is pointed out. since by
no stretch of the imagination or
language can they be classified as
harmless live animals which do not
require food and water.
Following the two applications yes
terday. the Washington city post Of
f1ce today received a third applica-
tfon, this time from a parent who
wanted to send a three-year- child
as parcel post.

SIGNED POWER BILL
Announcement Said to Be
Withheld Until Stock Ex-
changes Close Today.

Although officials at the White
House today maintained an unbroken
silence as to what action, II any,
President Wilson had taken on the
water power bill, there was a gem
eral impression that he had signed
the measure before midnight last
night and that no announcement Of
this would be made until after tho
stock exchanges in New York and else
where had closed.

the measure has developed, and most
OF the pressure has been in favor OF
the bill. 1t provides for the appoint.

NIGHT PARLEYS
FAILING, AWAIT
T0DAY'S ROLL CALL
No Notable Drift in Senti.
ments Is Reported Early
Today.
BY n. o. MEssENGER

CHICAGO. June e12.-Conferences in.
Vulnerable among the leaders through
out the night and caucuses of state
delegations failed to produce distinct
results as was shown by. comparison
of notes after breakfast today as the
delegates began to troop down to con-
vention hall.
No one could say that there had
been any notable drift of sentiment
since the taking Of the fourth ballot
yesterday.
Night Parleys Fail.
Several different combinations were
tried out at the talks during the night.
but not one stood up. And this for
the reason that each one involved
some man giving up his changes for
the nomination. Inasmuch as each
one felt that in the present situation
MS chances were as good as any ones,
it was not in human nature to throw
them to the winds
The Lowden people tried to get Sem
ator Harding to promise his strength
to the Illinois man on the first bal
lot today. but Senator Harding re-
good to him. and q state Of affairs
for which he had long been WAITING
appeared at hand.
Beg johnson to Free Delegates.
johnson was begged to loosen up
and let go Of his delegates. but ha
couldn't see 1t that way. The Wood
managers were frantically searching for
moro strength. All Of the dark horse
managers were .bestirring themselves
among the delegations throughout the
night.
BY today 1t was quite evident that
the first ballot Of the day would show
many changes in votes Of delegations.
All delegations were splitting ND. 20
ing in groups or by individuals to
their favorite candidate.
AZ the delegates started for the
hall the general comment was The
roll call will have to tell the tale"
During the early hour of the fore
noon the Harding men showed in
creased confidence as they visioned
the possibility OF Wood and Lowden
blocking each other and making an
opening for Harding. The senatorial
coterie were working for Harding
as their choice in case Wood and
Lowden killed each other of.
