LEAGUE CONCERNED

[RepubIIean A. ?. Leased wIrel

GENEVA, Dec.10.-President Wilson's negative reply to the league of nations invitation to name an unofficial dele gate to cooperate with the commission to be appointed by the assembly to dis cuss disarmament has caused great disappointment here. The chief desire of assembly members seems to be to maintain as many points of contact as possible with the United States, and it was thought the disarmament investi- gation afforded an opportunity of which President Wilston could take advan- tage without committing himself
 Mir. Wilson's decision regarding the Armenian boundaries has not been re- eeived here. It is thought in league circles that his reply has more likely been sent to London or Paris, since tt is matter for consideration by the supreme council of the allies rather than by the league of nations. Canada, whose delegation has made a great im- pression on the assembly, scored again today when it secured elimination of the provision in the technical commit tees report for permanent finance transit and health commissions The assembly, impressed by the growing expenses of the league and the inter national labor bureau, accepted the Canadian view. The Canadians agreed 1t was preferable to work with tenn porary commissions having consults1g power only until it is possible to sec more clearly just what may be done with specialized organizations

 President Hymans held over the heads of the delegates the menace of two sessions daily and advancing the hour of the morning session by half an hour. A number of the delegates have arranged to leave Geneva Friday or Saturday of next week. Meantime there remains to be disposed of the report of the committee on the ad- mission of new states and also dis armament, mandates and the interna- tionaI court besides a number of smaller questions.

PROHIBITION
IN SCOTLAND
"Pussyfoot'' Predicts Bone
Dry Britain In 10 Years.

LONDON, Dee. 29.-Yoting on the
prohibition question in Scotland has
been going on in the more remote dis
tricts for a month or more, and the fl
nal result viii probably not be known
until the end of the year.
The latest returns are: 1876 localities
for no change in the present system ;
n for limitation of saloon licenses and
% for the abolition of existing licenses.
W. +. (''Pussyfoot'') Johnson, the
American dry campaigner, stated to
an interviewer at Bradford the other
day that he was very satisfied with the
results so far, which meant the closing
down of 292 saloons in Scotland.
Asked how long he thought it would
take to make Britain dry, Mr.. Johnson
said he believed that England, ireland,
Scotland and Wales would be bone dry
in 10 years.
The Cambridge Union, the we'll known
university society, held a debate the
other day on prohibition and voted
against prohibition 211 to 203.

JAPAN SLOWING DOWN.
Increase in Population Below Usual Rate
Fewer Marriages.

TOXIC, Nov. 20 Correspondence
of The Associated Press .-Japan's popu-
lation during 1919 was increased by only
800. 900 as against usual rate of 62S,000,
according to an official report of the recent
census. During 1919 births numbered
,S23, 4S1 and deaths 1.513.6ST, the net
gain. therefore. being 30S. 794. Reduced
number of marriages in consequence of
higher cost of living is one reason given
by the authorities for the falling off. But
it is probable that the principal cause was
an abnormally heavy infant mortality due
to the influenza epidemic.
The divorce rate III 1918 is unofficially
returned at 112 per thousand marriages.
This compares with a German divorce rate
of PIC, which is the highest in Europe
1t should be remembered that these un-
official statistics are subject to correction.

FIND WHITE MARMOTS.

tempts All Summer TO Capture Them.
During the summer Alpine guides re-
ported having seen snow-white animals
looking like marmots. At first they
thought the creatures must be white
hares but then the unmistakeable shrill
whistle of the marmOt was heard.
During the summer every effort made
to capture one was unsuccessful. They
were seen in UIirothst0ck chain at a
height of 5000 feet, and now after con
siderable trouble Alpine guides have
managed to dig out some. 1t appears
that the marmots are not what are
known as Albinos, that is with dark
nose and eyes. They are freaks and eX-
cept In color of fur do not differ from
ordinary marmOtS.
They were found in alternating
state with all their vital energies almost
entirely suspended. Their coats, which
are very soft and thick, are absolutely
snow-white so that the guides are now
searching every likely place for burrows
to obtain skins, for which fur dealers
offer high prices, besides which all
mountain dwellers consider marmot's
fat sovereign remedy for rheumatism
and other ills. s.
Tt is known that Swiss Alpine mar
mots hibernate in colonies which some
times include - animals, but as their
burrows are often very deep and above
the snow-line, are hard to discover In
the opinion of one fur dealer white mar
mot's skin may become the most expen-
sive fur, especially as the animals are
in winter about half as large again as
the beaver The public however, de
mand that all white marmo.s captured
should be transferred to the Swiss Ma
tional park and thus the species be not
only preserved but fostered as a possible
source of profit.
This is the first time white marmots
have been found in the Alps. One guide
received an offer of 1000 t. by an
American visitor in winter sports
place for two live white marnots of diff
ferent sexes, which he is anxious to take
