London, Sept. 1.-The league of
nations made it's first move today
against secret treaties and alliances
by giving orders for the publication
of all existing treaties which now
are being submitted to the league
by the forty-two nations which
have ratified peace treaties and
joined the league.
This is considered by the league,
of nations to be one of the biggest
tasks entrusted to it by the gov
ernments Of the world. The league
has made arrangements to publish
regularly, as supplements to its Of
fetal gazette, the texts of all
treaties and agreements between
various members Of the league.
Law Forces Publication.
The Importance of this decision
of the league secretariat is evident
from the fact that. under the terms
of the Versailles treaty, all the
member nations must submit all
their treaties, secret or public, to
the league; and unless they do so,
these treaties and agreements can
not be considered binding under in
ternational law. Already. the
league is receiving from all parts
of the world copies of treaties, and
the first issue of the gazette sup
plement, containing ten of the first
treaties received, will be published
next week.

accommodation of a three year
school building program and plans
for gaining additional revenue for
school supplies formed the report OF
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, new superin-
tendent at the first meeting of the
reorganized board of education yes
terday afternoon.
"A seat in a suitable building for
every public school pupil in the
District of Columbia is the ideal
toward which the board should
strive" DR.. Ballou declared.
Pupils Crowded.
we are now confronted with a
serious lack of school buildings for
the children of the District" hc
said. 1T has resulted in placing
children, in both the elementary and
high school grades, on part time,
thereby depriving them OF a full
days education to which they are
entitled. Moreover, 1t has resulted
in the crowding of forty-fve or
fifty pupils into a single class room
under one teacher. The only relief
for either of these undesirable con-
ditions is to be found through the
construction of additional build
ings."
In announcing the recommended
tions for text books, DR.. Ballou de-
pIored the lack of funds appropria-
ted for the purchase of supplies.
Additional appropriations amount
ing to $4,000, the amount of the
original appropriation, was advised
by DR.. Ballou.
Book Change impossible.
There is a very pressing need for
ne wteXt books, changes in Eng
Iish books being especially desirable
but cannot recommend the changes
because of the lack of funds" DR.
Ballou said. He explained that oi

supplies for the first half of the year
