Of the League of Nations may SO to Brus-
sells. Belgium, instead of Geneva, Switzer-
land. as provided in the league covenant.
President Wilson was responsible for the
selection OF Geneva in the first place, the
French and British Premiers yielding TO
his suggestion. though personally they
preferred Brussels because it was far more
conveniently situated with regard to Paris
and London.
Information received here today is that
the see! etary of the league, which has
been organizing informally in London for
many months, is arranging for the selec-
ton of permanent hea adquarters and is eY-
pected to decide within day or two be-
tween the conflicting claims of Geneva
and Brussels.
In Geneva the secretartat already has
selected a large building, almost com
pleted, with special reference to the needs
of the league. Brussels cannot extend
equal aceenms<aatisns. but because af
its superior eanreaienee In the matter of
location, seems likely nov to be chosen.
The Swiss claims are further leopard
lied because the Swiss government has
been hesitating about adhering to the
league fearing that Switzerland's neu-
trahty would be seriously affected. The
latest advices from that country were

At meeting in the Ansona Hotel yes

all Latin-Amercan countries and Brazil,
adopted q resolution expressing satsifac-
tion toward the attitude OF President Will

tion went further and intimated that Mr..
Wilson was inconsistent and that he might
have withdrawn the American armed

sure as to the value of the Monroe Doc
trine as Latin American protectorate II

BOX OF DEAD FREN Gilman
HOLDS VALENclENNES LOOT

PARIS, Sunday.-When many works OF
art and valuable objects were found
missing at Valenciennes after the city had
been retaken by the French, 1t was be-
lieved the Germans were guilty OF carry
ing them away. 1t appears, however, the
Germans were not solely responsible, but
that Frenchmen had in some cases taken
an opportunity to profit at their country's
expense.
The Mayor OF the city recently received
a letter from Madame Caboche widow of
an internal revenue officer, who died after
the close of the war telling of q box she
had found among her husbands effects
The box was labeled Personal objects
belonging to Mr.. Caboche,'' but when Ii
was opened it was found to contain two
valuable crosses, one of tho two original
keys to the city, fra gments of silver plate
and two bronze statues.
Surnising from marks on these articles,
that they were from some collection
Madame Caboche informed the Mayor ana
the objects have been restored to their
owners.
