LEAGUE COUNCIL HAS
FIRST MEET IN PARIS
Task Of Presiding Should
Have Fallen to Wilson De-
clares Presiding Officer.

Paris.-The council of the league OF
nations received the first formal pro,
test to be presented to it almost be.
fore it came into being with FRIDAYS
initial sessions, The protest was from
the ENJOYS of the elected government
of the Irish republic" against "the un.
real English simulacra of an interna.
tional league of peace"
Representatives of France, Great
Britain, Italy, Greece, Belgium, Spain,
Japan and Brazil, members of the
council Of the league of nations met
in the CLOAK room" of the French for.
eign office at 10 o'clock Friday morn.
ing for the first meeting in the history
of the league.
The council organized at 1890
o'clock by electing Leou Bourgeois
chairman and confirming the choice
of Sir Eric Drummond of Great Brit.
ain as general secretary.
The first official act of the council
was the appointment of a commission
to trace upon the spot the frontiers of
the territory of the Saar Basin.
Leon Bourgeois, French representa-
tive, who presided, said: THE task
of presiding at this meeting and in
augurating this great international in
stitution should have fallen to Pgesi-
dent Wilson. We respect the reasons
which still delay final decision by our
friends in Washington, but express the
hope that their difficulties will soon
be overcome and that representa-
tive of the great American republic
will occupy the place awaiting him
among us. The work of the council
will then assume definite character
and will have that particular force
which should be associated without
our work.
january Is, 1920, will go down in
history as the date of the birth of
new world. Decisions to be reached
today will be in the name of all ma
tons adhering to the covenant of the
league. 1t will be the first decree of
all free nations leaguing themselves
together for the first time in the
world to substitute right for might.
But the organization of the league of
nations will not be complete until the
assembly of all states meets"
Earl Curzon, British secretary Of
state for foreign affairs and that ma
tons representative on the council of
the league, said:
ION behalf of the British Empire
l desire to express the loyalty of my
government and the external domin-
ions of the British crown to the spirit
the covenant of the league
of nations. 1t is our intention by
every means in our power to insure its
practical efficiency. 1t is our firm
belief that through its instrumental
ity alone we can hope to insure that
such miseries as the world has exper.
fenced during the past five years shall
not be repeated, and that new era
of international relationship shall
dawn"
NJ. Bourgeois proposed London as
the place for the next meeting of the
council, and this was approved. Lord
Curzon suggested leaving the date and
order of business open to be decided
by the chairman and the secretary,
since, he said, "it will be necessary to
consult the United States on a great
many questions likely to arise"

Owl, Protected by
Law, Disturbs Law

Chelsea, Mass.-Residents in
the vicinity Of Chelsea have
been disturbed nights by an ac-
tive but elusive screech owl.
The little marauder starts in his
disturbance between 9 and 10
o'clock. The police have been
asked to capture the bird. Dur
ing the day the owl fits from
one chimney to another in an
effort to escape capture. The
police have given an alibi that
1t is against the game laws to
shoot the owl.
