IBy Uniyersal Service.)

The oficial seal OF secrecy on the
unofficial fact that the President has
called the assembly of the league of
nations to meet at a date before
November 15 will be broken this
week.
There has been no explanation OF
the mystery maintained at the
White House about the matter, al
though il has been stated as a fact
by ofdcials abroad. 1t has merely
been indicated that 1t would pc
irregular IL the people who invited
the President to make the call dld
not announce his acceptance hrst.
On the other hand it is the duty OF
the President under the league OF
nations to issue the call. and he mas
therefore the clear right TO act
without the assent or approval Oh
the foreign nations who no" con-
stitute the league.
New Interest In Call.
The call fer the assembly has at
this time an interest that did NOT
attach to 1t less than two weeks
ago, Questions have arisen on the
initiative of the United States which
attack the operations of Japan III
the East and the oHerations of the
English and French oil interests
in mandate territory formerly be-
longing TO Turkey.
Both of these questions 1t is sara
yesterday can only be settled by the
insistence of, the United States on
its own rights, and the theory OF
the State Department probably oo-
tanned elsewhere, is that they arc
solvable best by the league OF ma
tions even though the United States
be not a member of that body. IL
seems certain that the administrs-
ton expects to have continuation
OF its policy by another Democratic
administration.
VIII Meet At Geneva.
In that event the fact will be
known before the assembly or the
league is summoned by the, president
to meet probably at Geneva. Japan S
grab in Siberia and Great Britain S
understanding that her mandate over
Mesopotamia's oil does not concern
American ell interests, will most
probably be suggested by the state
Department to the league of nations
for final adjudication. At the pres
ent time the United States is only
discussing the questions informally
with Japan and England and these
negotiations will remain in the IN
formal state at least till election
day.
On the other hand II the next ad-
ministration be Republican, and
committed to no league or greatly
modified league, the State Depart

SEATS FOR
BIG EAST0N GAME
Temporary Stands to Be Built
for Lehigh-Lafayette Bat
tie This Season

Easton. Pa, Sept. 23.-Plans are
being completed for the increasing Of
the seating capacity of March Field TO
take care of the large crowd which y
expected to witness the annual gridiron
struggle between Lafayette College and
Lehigh University this fall on the local
athletic field.
The, present stands on March Field
are too small to handle gathering
such as those which have attended the
Lehigh- Lafayette games In the last four
years. To overcome this, Graduate
Manager George A. Sigman, Of Lafay-
cite. has asked for bids to erect 1900
temporary seats.
Erection of 1900 additional seats
would be sufficient to accommodate a
crowd Of 13,500. The seats, IL erected
will be Mt north and south ends of the
field behind the goal posts.
The return of Joe Williams and
Frank Schwab considerably bolstercd
the Lafayette line. Williams tips the
scales above the 200 pound mark, and
his playing last season was one Of the
bright lights of Lafayctte's successful
season Schwab is the FORMER Kisk
player. who performed so nobly al
guard. He is deadly tacklcr and q
keen student of the game.
Yet it cannot be said that Williams
and Schwab are sure of retaining their
positions and starting the opening game

big boy, from whom much is cx-
pected.
Schwab and the other veteran guard,
Wolbet, likewise. are having to hustle
to keep their berths. Budd, the former
League Island marine and Blair Acad-
cmy guard, is playing bang up game,
and has an even chance of starting
against Muhlenburg.

by night
And, 10, the angel Of the Lord came
upon them. and the glory OF the Lord
shone around about them; and they
were sore afraid
And the angel said unto them. Fear
not: for, behold. I bring you good It'd
ings Of great joy. which shall be to
all people
For unto you Is born this day in
the city OF David a Savior, which Is
Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you:
Te shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude OF the heavenly host
praising God, and saying.
Glory TO God in the highest. and
on earth peace, good will toward men.
And It came to pass. as the angels
were gone away from them into
heaven. the shepherds said one 10 an
other, Let US now 90 even unto Beth
Iehem, and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto US.
And they came with haste, and
found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe
