RESOLUTION TO Cut
PROVISION FROM PACT
WILL LIKELY PREvAl
Threatens to
Leave Assembly Costa
Rica Admitted.

Geneva, Dec. 3-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Presentation and
adoption of a resolution eliminating
article X from the covenant Of the
League Of Nations before the end Of
the present session Of the assembly
would occasion no surprise here, It
was declared in some quarters
when the assembly began its meet
ing thi smorning.
Assertions we're made that yes
terday's decision Of the committee
on the admission of new states,
which held, in effect. that the ar
ticle does not guarantee the terri
torial integrity of any member OF
the league, represented the view OF
a majority of the delegates at the
present meeting. This interpreta-
ton and the postponement Of the
consideration of certain changes in
the covenant were the principal
topics Of conversation here today.
|, These changes, which were pro-
posed by Scandinavian countries,
was said in no wise to prevent con-
sheraton at this session Of any
other amendments. N. w. Rowell,
q Canadian delegate, brought this
out clearly by questioning A. ].
Balfour of Great Britain. The COM
mittee to which was referred the
quetsion of how to choose the four
| elective members of the council Of
the league, had not reported. The
question is whether these members
shall be elected for four years or
two, and it is still being debated
whether their terms Of Office should
begin from the first entry of the
council into operation, or from the
present meeting Of the assembly. II
the latter idea prevails, the four
representatives must be elected
here.
The chance of Brazil returning to
her place on the council is consid-
cred excellent, but Greece, it is
thought, will lose her place.

NOTE OF ALLIES
TO INFLUENCE
GREECE'S VOTE
In View Of Hostile Atti-
tude, Constantine May
Refuse Throne.

London, Dec. 3.-(Unted Press
An allied note declaring com
plete liberty of action" will be ex-
ercised II King Constantine returns
to Greece, will be published widely
in Greek newspapers. it was de-
clared today. to influence the
plebescite Dec. S.
The note was drafted yesterday
in q conference of British, French
and Italian officials. It was deter
mined to give the note the widest
circulation in the Greek press be-
fore the plebescite on Constantine's
return. to prevent the Greek gov
ernment from suppressing it.
The note expressed surprise at
the Greek situation, referred to
Constantine as one whose "disloyal
acts" had caused the allies embar-
rassment and loss. The kings re-
stOration, it said, would be regarded
by the allies rs ratification of his
hostile acts.
The British press declared the
note might have the effect Of dis
suading Constantine from his re-
turn. The Chronicle declared it is
now improbable that the allies will
consent even to the accession OF
Crown Prince George if Constantine
and Queen Sophie are not debarred
from reentering Greece.
1T remains to be seen whether
the Greeks will change their
minds" the Times declared. 1.-The

ly after the shooting two weeks

URGE CLERGY
OF IRELAND
TO END WAR
Request Hierarchy to In
tervene for Truce
Fermoy Disorders.

London, Dec. 3.-Recent rumors
of important influences working for
the conclusion of q truce in Ire
land, preliminary to permanent
peace in that island, are revived by
newspapers here today. Sugges-
tion that definite measures Of con-
ciliation are being initiated, seems
to be mainly based on remarks
made by Premier Lloyd George in
the house of commons yesterday. I
A member of the house asked
the premier whether, in view of the
approach Of Christmas, he should
not try to bring about truce, and
the premier answered he was
quite as anxious as the questioner
to see murder in Ireland ended and
would not have waited for the ap-
proach Of Christmas to make ef-
forts in that direction"
The supposed movement is link
ed by newspaper writers with the
visit to Ireland Of the labor COM
mission, which is at present in
Dublin, and pressure which is said
to be brought to bear on the Irish
hierarchy to intervene more active
ly in the cause Of peace. It is con-
tended that sentiment against an
archy is growing daily in ireland.

THE NEW ROUTE TO MORALES.

l. c. E. Adams, chairman of the Cochise county board of su- pervisorS, said here last Tuesday that within the next year there would be new highway from Cochise county to Nogales, trav- ersing the southern slope of the Huachnca mountains and cut ting 60 miles off ' of the present route. It is understood the three members of the board are very much in favor of the proposed road, and that it will be built. The route already has been roughly surveyed, which gives assurance of the practicability of constructing it.
 The proposed road is very much desired by the war depart ment, for it would facilitate the transfer of troops between Doug las and Nogales, give a border highway from here to the Santa Cruz county seat, and would make border patrol very sim- pie matter in d section where it has been a very difficult problem. Whether the war department can give any financial aid to the project is not known, but the federal aid arrangements pro- vide for co operation whenever the conditions are of military advantage, which makes it cer- tain the county's money can be matched dollar for dollar in the undertaking.
 There is a large and growing travel between Cochise county and Nogales, and the lack of g. direct road has been big draw back. The proposed road through Bisbee, Hereford and on to the mountain pass would be as straight as one could expect a. road to be built in this country. It would place Bisbee as near Nogales as Tucson is at present, and would benefit both Santa Cruz and Cochise counties. It is a highway that must be con- structed, and Douglas and Bis bee should do everything possi- ble to hasten a beginning. The war department has had the road mapped out for long time, and it is strange that steps have not been taken before by this county toward a roadway that means so much to so many peo- ple.-Douglas Dispatch.

The following delegates for

The following delegates for the state convention of the Am- erican Legion to be held at Globe on August 9, 10 and II, were elected at the meeting of Ridge Igo Post of the American Legion of this city: Leslie o.

The Nogales dele gates will boost for Nogales as the place of holding the State Convention next year.
 Thirty three carloads if gar banzos valued at total of $14S,- 500, were admitted at the port of NogaleS during the last two days according to information given out yesterday morning by the customs department. This is a slight decrease below the daily average but it is accounted for by the fact that there was a slight momentary scarcity of cars to move the crop out of Sonora and Sinaloa. It is stated that there are more than $2,OO0, 900 worth of garbanzos stored in warehouses of Nogales awaiting movement to markets of the world. The shipping season for the chick peas is expected to last for several weeks longer and the total value of the 1920 crop, it is predicted. will pass the $7, ,OOO, ,OOO.-Oasis.
