FINAL VOTE UNANIMOUS
Measure Adopted Practically Identical to One Vetoed
 By President Wilson

WASHINGTON, Dec 13.-Repeal of most Of the war time laws was voted today by the house which adopted the Volstead resolution for that pur- pose after two hours debate.

WORLD COURT IS PROVIDED FOR
 RY LEAGUE Delegates Confident Statute Will Be Satisfactory As
 Soon As Ratified DEBATE IS VIGOROUS Latin-Americans Fight Hard to Make Jurisdiction of
 Court Obligatory
DEBATE IS VIGOROUS

GENEVA. Dec 13.-The assembly accomplished today the first import ant constructive act in the work of the league of nations, in adopting a statute for q permanent internation- al court of justice The oreaniZation as planned still lacks the obligatory appear ance of both parties to a dis pute and provides no penalty for noncompliance with the decisions of the court.
 The advocates of the project, how ever. believe that it is the most com plete plan that could be accepted by the different governments and are confident that the good will of the nations will remedy it's defects The plan will go now to the different states for ratification.
 If 22 or a majority Of the league approve it before the next mee ting NDf the assembly. the judges will be elected and the court will come into existence in September
 Adoption of the plan came after an oratorical duel with Latin-America on one side aud Europe on the other. over the question as 10 whether the jurisdiction of the international court ought to be obligatory or voluntary Raoul Fernandez, Brazil: Dr. Carlos Urueta, Colombia; Harmodio Arias. Panama: Aristides Agueros. Cuba: Senor BlancO. Uruguay. and Sener Aramayo Bolivia, insisted with great force upon the necessity of obligatory Jurisdiction to make the court really effective.
 Some of the speakers made refer ence 10 the small majority in the com mittee. which had forced a large minority to bend it's will. It was al- so declared that the big powers had used their greater influence to de feat the most important features of the measure. The greater number or the 10 speakers were skeptical as to the value of optional jurisdiction as provided for in the project.
 Leon Bourgeois, France; A. J. Bal Tour, England; Dr. George r. Hagh- rup. Norway. and Giuseppe Motta. Switzerland. defended the plan as the best that could be set up for be- ginning. BalfOur also made a de- fense of Europe against what he termed "a united attack"
 No country, he said, had been more strongly in favor of arbitration than Great Britain. He argued that it was necessary to make a beginning. The whole project might be rendered Imperative if that beginning were not made with due regard for certain realities.
 Though the debate could not change tie viewpoint of the majori- ty, it served to relieve the feelings of the delegates, which had reached high pitch in the discussion in committee.
