its history since centuries ago,
when it led the world in art and

were in 1880, when by the aid of the
powers, Greece freed itself from Turk

ing, for three day meeting. Thirty
seven states are represented and all
shades of opinion as to what is best to
be done in the interest of the farmers
of the nation are likely to find ex-
preston before the session closes. The
foremost authorities on the many
problems confronting the agricultural
producer are here to take part in the
discussion and to shed such light on
the questions awaiting settlement, as
the occasion demands.
The convention got down to business
quickly at the opening session on Mon
day morning by adopting series of
resolutions. The first of these asked
that congress provide for renewals and
extensions of farmers obligations, dis
counted through the federal reserve
bank. This was claimed to be neces-
sary to safeguard all agricultural inter

Efforts to arrange a truce in Ire

mornings newspapers. which printed
many rumors gathered in Dublin and
London. These showed intense inter-
est in the situation and a widespread
hope for definite results from the ex-
changes Of views now understood to
be going on
One Dublin dispatch declared there
was no chance of a truce while Arthur
Griffith and the MacNeill brothers,
prominent Sim Fein leaders, were
kept in prison. while another took the
view that the irreconcilables of the
Irish Republican Brotherhood really
were in control of the situation and

during the day.

GENEVA, Dec. 7-Plans for coopera-

league of nations by representatives
of Armenia and former Russian states,
though those states are not admitted
to full membership in the league, were
discussed by the assembly of the
league here today. This was the prin-
cipal item on the Agenda. having been
brought into prominence by the de-
cision yesterday of the committee on
the admission of new states.
The assembly also continued the

Decision was reached by the COM
mittee on relations between the as
sembly and council last night to ap-
ply this policy to the contested point
as to whether the word "exclusive'
should be eliminated from the second
of the four general principles enun-
ciated by the committee as a working
basis for the league. This sentence
reads at present:
THE assembly has no power to
modify decisions coming within the
exclusive competence of the council"
Ask Abandonment
The committee decided to recon-
mend that the whole paragraph be
dropped from the report rather than
prolong a discussion which might be
fruitless.
Work in the typhus campaign now
going on in Poland and plans looking
to the welfare of children in Europe
were also discussed today.

STATE OF WAR EXISTS

TRIEST, Dec. 1.-THE state of war"
between the regency of Quarnero at
Fiume and Italy will not proceed, said
an official statement given out by the
headquarters of Gabrielle D'Annunzo
today. 1t declared this decision has
been reached because D'Annunzio had
received note from the Italian min
istry of war stating that General
Caviglia's order which brought about
.he poet-soldier's declaration of a
state of war with Italy, did not have
the character of an ultimatum.
Members of the special commission
of Italian deputies which has inter-
viewed D'Annunzio in Fiume, left for
Rome tonight.
