Appearance of Maj. Churchill
Causes Mild Sensation
in League Circles.

GENEVA, November q (by the AS
sociated Press).-The arrival here to-
day of Maj. Marlborough Churchill
chief of the military intelligence di-
vision of the general staff of the
American Army. which so far as ap.
pears now has no real Significance ex-
cept to himself and his department
has created a mild sensation in league
of nations circles. The United States
has been on the lips of almost every
spokesman in the assembly of the
league and probably in the minds OF
every delegate.
The hope that the United States
will some day join the league is un-
mistakable. The entire work of the
assembly has visibly been directed SO
as not to prejudice the most impor.
tant questions at issue regarding the
league covenant. and SO as to leave
the way open for the United States
to have her say in it's eventual reyi-
sion.
Maj. Churchill said he had not been
ordered to Geneva by either the War
or State departments, but thought he
had good opportunity to obtain
valuable information for the United
States. fnasmuch as he was at Bern
inspecting the military attaches Of
fice there. He stated that he might
report to Washington on his visit to
Geneva.

presented by France against Ger

them. however. that both Bulgaria
and Austria in their applications

obligations and thus make themselves
eligible for admission. SUGGESTIONS
