LEAGUE OF NATIONS
ASSEMBLY KURRIES
Committees WORK
(By Associated Press)

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 committee number
one and two have virtually finished
their work, the international court is
out of the way and the armaments
question has been disposed of by a
practical adjournment. The principle
relative to the admission of new mem
bers has also been decided upon.
Some apprehension is still felt in
some quarters, however, that the dis
cussions in full assembly which will
be resumed Tuesday. especially those
on the question regarding the relations
of the league council and assembly
will be prolonged.
May Admit Austria.
Czecho-Slovak delegates are now
furnishing the only opposition to the
admission of Austria to the league.
Switzerland is strongly advocating ad-
mission, with the proviso, however,
that if reaction occurs in Austria, with
a restoration of the monarchy, she will
insist upon the right Of the province of
Voralberg TO decide whether to remain
q part of Austria or not. Voralberg
recently requested that it be attached
to Switzerland but this request was
rejected by the latter country.
Committee number four, which has
been examining the accounts of the
league, finally has approved the COM
paratively high salaries paid the per-
sonnel 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 ac-
count.
The organization committee has de-
cided to approve the suggestion that
the four elective members of the coun-
ell shall be chosen so that only one
term will expire each year 1t has
also decided to set up a committee
TO study all proposed amendments to
the covenant Of the league.

RHkLLIS WILL HEAR
CONFERENCE RESULT
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Nov. 27-Decisions regard
ing Greece reached by Premiers Ley
CUES and Lloyd George in London will
be communicated to George Rhallis,
Greek premier, who may be called to
London, or who will in any case be
informed Of the attitude of France and
England. In all probability the pre-
miers will not settle all pending guess
tions during their present conferences
and Premier Leygues may be obliged
to take another trip to London.
Newspapers of this city express sat
tisfaction with the cordiality appar-
ent during the conversations between
the two premiers, and express the be-
lief that France and England are en-
tirely agreed that Greece. with Con
stantine on the throne, will not find
support from allied nations.

unusual and agreeable frankness.
Quite a few of these defeated mem
bers who have already returned to
Washington feel not only free from
constraint. but feel, also, that their
own constituents and the country as
whole have been ungrateful. The
activities of men in this mood will be
characterized not merely by unusual
frankness, but by an aggressive indie

Expect Good Legislation
A session of congress, of which a
considerable number of members
know they are going out of public life
and Of which the remainder know that
they are secure in their seats for
long time to come, ought to provide
the country with better legislation
than usual. Except for two factors,
the coming session would do just that
thing.

The Methodist annual bazaar
and dinner which was given by the
Ladies' Aid society at the Midland
cafe Thursday afternoon and even
ing was a huge success, and the
gross proceeds, including the ba-
zaar, the candy booths aud the
dinner, were $26S.90, which was
far larger than the ladies had
anticipated
The bazaar consisted of numer-
Gus articles of fancy work, both
ornamental and useful, and it was
not long before almost all the
articles were gone.
The dinner consisted of nearly
everything good, including Mrs.
w. A. Keelor's famous biscuits,
and everyone felt that he had
received the full worth of his
money. The plates were gener.
ously filled and none got up from
the table hungry.
1t is hoped it will not be another
year before the Methodist ladies
give another dinner.

Hughes was duly touched, but the
impression was not lasting. There
was something artificial and insincere
about Eta Harnes. Under the influ-

into a sitting room. Involuntarily
