right.
Quiet in Her Cell

has not mentioned the crime TO me or
anything about her past life.
when she first came in she laugh

From the description of the girl, the

The townspeoplc knew little about

had been orphaned when a child, had

Geneva, Nov. 27.-The difficulty Of

ing the League Of Nations was demon.
strated yesterday when the council. In
spite OF determined protests by the
british member. decided to give control
in the permanent mandates commission
to nonmandatory powers. This com.
mission will be composed of represent. q.
atives Of five nonmandatory powers and
four OF the mandatory states.
Yesterdays action was a confirmn Z.
tion OF the decision taken at the Brus-
sells session OF the council. The decision
has been fought by the British since It
was announced. They obtained n re {.
consideration Of the question, but again
were ourvdted.
Optimists at the meeting of the as.
Sembly are counting upon finishing tho
work OF the session next week, or ten
days earlier than was calculated by
league officials. This hope is based
on the fact that committees numbers one
and two have virtually finished their
work, the international court Is out
OF the way and the armamcnts question
has been disposed of by a practical ad :
journment. The principle relative to
the admission of new members has also
been decided upon.

upon the right of the province Of Voral-
berg to decide whether to remain part
Of Austria or not.
Committee number four finally has
approved the comparatively high sal

decided to approve the suggestion that
the four elective members of the council
shall be chosen so that only one term
will expire each year.
The first American treaties to be filed
with the League Of Nations were put
officially on record today when Sweden
presented the text of two agreements
