Favor Admission
Of Enemy States
Lord Robert Cecil Will Take
Stand

Geneva Nov. IL (Ey the Associated
fresS).-Lord Robert Cecil, one OF
the chief authors of the league OF
nations covenant, who is coming to
the assembly OF the league as q dele
gate from South Africa, will support
the proposed Immediate admission to
tho league Of tormer enemy states
IT is expected here. Italy, Switzer-
land, the Scandinavian states ana
some of the South American nations
are understood TO b. favorable to
such plan.
France, Belgium, Rumania, Juso-
SLaNla and Czecho- -SlCvakia will re-
S!st the admission Of Germany and
hungary although they are not un-
taForable 70 Austria and Bulgaria.
There are indications in league circles
mat the drift toward admission Of
former enemy countries is strong and
likely |" reach the necessary two
third of the members unless a COM
promise is effected.
The sentiment is growing that.
whatever may De the merits of the
case, the discussion in the assembly
IS likely to develop sharp contro-
'ersy, which the leading members Of
the league desire to avoid
AT the first session it is probable
the immediate admission of Austria
and Bulgaria will be proposed and an
ctoft made to have action in the
case OF Germany postponed TO an
other meeting, probably in the spring
Attention is being directed to the
anomaly Of admitting Germany while
Size stil lis technically at war with the
United States. CZecho-Slovakia is
stoutly opposed TO the admission OF
Hungary and is unable to support the
entry OF Germany but it is understood
she will not contest the admission OF
Austria and Bulgaria, who now ap-
pear nearly sure Of election.

SERVED WITH MONTANA REGI.
MENT IN SPANISH WAR; WAS
BUTTE POLICE CHIEF.
Commanded Company of First
Montana Regiment in Philippines;
Passes Away in California After
Lingering Illness; Born at Virginia
City.

Captain E. w. Wynne, pioneer
resident Of Montana and chief of po-
lice in Butte under the administra-
ton OF Mayor Corby, died last week
at Berkeley, Cal, after a lingering
illness.
Captain Wynne, prior to his de-
parture for California about six
months ago, had made his home in
Butte for many years. His health
had been failing for some time and
last summer he left for the lower
altitude to make his home with his
son, Sedman w. Wynne. at Berkeley.
For time he seemed to improve and
a short time ago he wrote that he
hoped to return to his old home in
Butte in the near future.
Native Of Montana
Captain Wynne was born at Vir-
ginia City and spent the greater part
of his youth and early manhood in
Madison county. Becoming interest
ed in the national guard, Captain
Wynne was one of the first to res
pond to the call for volunteers in
the war against Spain. Shortly after
his enlistment he was placed in com.
mand of company G, which position
he retained throughout the campaign
in the Philippines. At the end of the
war he returned to Montana with his
regiment.

With Warden Frank Conley Off
ciating as Santa Claus, "a men serv-
ing time at the state penitentiary at
Deer Lodge were given their freedom
as a Christmas present last week.
Warden Conley gave them all a
friendly talk. with some good advice.
He made them all feel that they had
excellent chances to forget the past
and make good in the world with this
new start. He told them of a few
cases where men had left Deer Lodge
and had become great captains of in.
dustry-big men in the world OF
business. There were many more in.
stances OF the kind that he coulG
have cited. Every man shook hands
with the warden. thanked him TO,
the good advice he had given and
the way they had been treated and
went forth with the feeling that they
had left friend behind. Warden
Conley is just as interested in seeing
a man make good after leaving pris.
on as he is in seeing that bad actor
gets his just deserts.
One of the men released was met
by his sweetheart, and they were
married the same day. Three Others
were met by their wives and happ,
reunions followed.
Most of the men were going bach
to their home towns to start life ovel
again, according to the warden. Al
the men had worked from six month!
to two years as TRUSTEES in the bricl
yard and on road work. There ar,
but three guards to IS men and thu

Is Against Dancing

The Rev. George D. Wolfe. former
~ pastor of the Mountain View Meth
odist church of Butte, bitterly assail-
I'd dancing in a sermon at Billings
He also responded to the grilling
which the Actors Equity association
gave the Methodist church for its
stand against dancing.
: There is no amusement so COM
mon among men," said Mr.. Wolfe
(which in its whole history has done
80 much to lower the standards OF
thought and action. of speech and
life, as the modern dance with Its
promiscuous mingling of the sexes
It is not improving. It does lead ia
impurity of thought. improper con,
versations. to immodest dress and
action, and to immortality"
He declared the Methodist church
right in putting ban on dancing.
