League Changes Not
Contemplated at
Present Session

Geneva. Nov. 23.-(By the A. P.).--
There will De no amendments to the
covenant of tn. League Of Nations at
this session of the Assembly. If the
decision of committee No. THAT on
general amendment-which has been
considering amendments, is approved
in full session.
Arthur j. Balfcur. chairman of the
committee. suggested in committee
meeting that it was too early to draw
conclusions as to the working Of the
league or to form an idea as to how
the covenant may be approved. He pro-
posed that the committee recommend
the appointment Of special commit
tee to consider proposed amendments
and report to the next meeting Of the
Assembly.
Scandinavian countries offered sew
eral amendments 10 the covenant deal
ing with the constitution and organ
lzation OF the league. Defeated in the
committee, the delegates of the DOW
ers which were in the minority on the
Balfour proposal have expressed their
intention to call the question up before
the full membership of the Assembly.
The Scandinavian delegates on the
committee insisted upon the consid-
Grafton Immediately of amendments
they proposed. but they were out-voted.
The South American delegates accent
Ell Mr.. Balfour's suggestion all the
more readily because they are of the
opinion that any amendment Of the
covenant should await propositions
that nYnorfnd
States after President-elect Hardinp's
consultations on the subject. They
declared it would be entirely out of
order to revise the covenant in the ab-
sence Of one of the most important
nations of the world.
The committee on the international
court decided to send letter of thanks
and congratulations to Elihu Root.and
other delegates of The Hague confer
ence. This is as far as they have got
in their work.
Antono Huneus, head Of the Chill
can delegation and chairman of the
committee on admission of new mem.
bers, told the Associated Press TO-DAY
that his committee already was hard
at work and hoped to make an early
report
News OF the application of Montene-
gro for membership in the League Of
Nations leaked cut today. No infor.
nation whatever was given on the
subject by the secretariat of the
league. This eleventh hour applica-
ton necessarily will come up on the
floor Of the Assembly before being re-
ferred to the committee.

Atlantic Hose Company
To Have New Combination
Fire Truck Another Snrins

According to plans already made by
the Augusta Fire department., a new
combination dre truck. similar to the
one at the Cushnoc station, will be
put in commission at the Atlantic
headquarters on Cony hill, another
spring. During the past summer a
new two-ton White chassis was pur-
chased by the city and equipped with
temporary truck body for use in
connection with the construction of
the new Central fire station on Grove
street. with the idea in mind that an
soon as the building was completed
the machine would be overhauled and
remodeied into fire truck for use on
the East Side Of the river.
The Apparatus will be a combina-
ton hose and chemical truck, and the
only difference between It and the
Cushnoc machine which il also a
White make. win be that It will not
De equipped with a pump. The need
OF just such machine for use on the
other side Of the river has been felt
by the heads Of the department for
some time past and It is with a deep
sense OF satisfaction that their hopes
are about to be realized. It is prob
able that the work OF remodeline viii
be done at departmental headquar-
