AUSTRIA WILL
PROBABLY GAIN .
LEAGUE PLACE
Movement for Her Admission
Is Opposed Only by
CzechO-SiOvakia
TO FINISH WORK EARLY

Geneva, Nov. 27.-Optimists at the
meeting of the assembly of the league
of nations are counting upon finishing
the work Of the session next week or
| ten days earlier than was calculated
! by league officials. This hope is based
on the fact that committees No. l and
have virtually finished, their work,
| the International court is out of the
I,&s1v and the armament question has
been disposed Of by a practical ad
journment
The plan relative to the admission
of new members has also been de-
cided upon.
! Some apprehension is still felt in
some quarters, however, that the dis
cussion in full assembly which will
be resumed on Tuesday especially on
questions regarding the relations OF
the council and league assembly will
be prolonged.
Czecho-SIovak delegates are now
furnished the only argument against
the admission OF Austria to the
league Switzerland is strong advo-
eating admission with the proviso,
however, that il reaction occurs in
Austria with restoration of the
monarchy she will insist on the rights
of Voralberg to decide whether to re
main part of Austria or not. Voral-
berg recently requested that it be at
tached to Switzerland. but this re-
quest was rejected by the latter
country. .
Committee No. 4, which has been
investigating the accounts of the
league finally has approved the COM
paratively high salaries paid the
members of the, secretariat, finding
the high cost of living in Geneva justi-
fed them in part while the expenses
of each worker in reaching his native
country should also be taken into
account.

WILSON ASKED .
TO MEDIATE IN
ARMENIAN CLASH

Geneva, Nov. 81 The attitude
among delegates of the assembly or
the league of nations toward a request
that President Wilson act as media
tor in the Armenian situation appears
to be ore of hope with the expecta-
tion that the United States will re-
lieve Europe and the league of an en-
barassing situation.
Behind the necessity of doing some
thing for Armenia there is a conflict
of European interests involved. Great
Britain, it is understood, would look
with disfavor on any power having
rival interests. Action by the United
States in Armenia, it is held, would
involve no such complication.
