FORMER RUSSIAN NATION

Geneva, Dec. 17.--Albania was cleo
led member of the league of ma
tons by the assembly OF the league
Of nations here this morning.
Immediately after the opening of
today's session of the assembly, Lord
Robert Cecil, although appointed to
make a report on the admission of
Albania to the league, took the floor
and declared he dis. greed with the re-
port of the committee, which was
adverse to Albanian membership. He
asked the assembly to elect Albania
member.
Differences between the council Of
the league of nations and the as
sembly of the league regarding man.
d-tes were before the assembly when
it met here today. After q long de-
bate during yesterdays session. re-
garding the report Of the mandate

ellis refusal to submit n draft OF the
mandates for Syria, Mesopotamia and
Palestine except under certain con-
ditions, the matter was left over for
set lement today, II possible.
The original report Of the mandates
commission was sharp arralgnment
of the council. but the language used
was considerably softened by the full
commission, following the debate on
the floor Of the assembly.
d sposal OF this question and ac.
ton of the three more applicat ons
for membership and decision relative
to the league budget. were all that
remained today to be disposed Of dur
ing this session of the assembly.
Hope was expressed this morning
that this work might be finished to-
day so that tomorrow's final session
m ght be devoted to the ceremonies Of
C cosing.
The applications Of Albania, Lichten-

BRYAN CALLED IN

PRES|DEAT-ELEC
Erstwhile Perennial Demo-
cratic Candidate to Speak
tonight From Same Plat
form With Harding

Marion, Ohio Dec. 17.-William Jen-
nings Bryan. former secretary OF state
under, President Wilson. and for many
wears an earnest advocate of world
peace, was called into consultation
today by Presidentelect Harding re-
garding the plan for an association of
nations.
The first former official of the
Democratic administration 20 be sum-
moned to the Republican president
| elects council table here, Mr.. Bryan
brought a fund Of special knowledge
by virtue Of his experience in nego-
| tiating more than score of arbitra-
tion treaties. while he was head OF
the department OF state. 1t was un-
derstood that these treaties consti-
tuted one OF the principal subjects OF
Mr.. Harding's inquiries.
Recently another former secretary,
Elihu Root, suggested that arbitra-
! ton treaties throughout the world
might be amended so that all justice
able questions between nations would
be referred 10 the new league OF ma
tons court, rather than to temporary
arbitration boards. On the possibility
Of making such amendments in the
American treaties, Mr.. Bryan was 10

ton.
The Bryan treaties also have been
discussed many times as furnishing
in themselves a basis for reaching a
world agreement in the interest OF
peace.
A proposal that nations bind them
selves not to go to war except by
vote OF the people has been another
of Mr.. Bryan's suggestions as q basis
for q world league and It is known
that Mr.. Harding has considered II in
his conferences here. II Is assumed
that to discuss the practical working
of such an agreement was one Of the
purposes of today's conference.
The former secretary was warm
advocate OF the Versailles league
but after unreserved ratification failed
he entered the fight actively TO Sc
cure Democratic acceptance OF the
| Republican reservations. 1t was not
revealed today what opinion he ex.
pressed regarding the present prac.
tcability Of American acceptance oil
the covenant.
Arriving here late in the forenoon
Mr.. Bryan had most of the remainder
of the day set aside for him on Mr.
Harding's appointment schedule.
Tonight the two will speak from
the same platform at Presbyterian
church rally here.

CHRISTMAS CHEER Of
PRESENT YEAR DEVOID
LAVISH PR0D|GAL.|TY
PRESENTS WILL BE BOUGHT
WITH SENSIBLE ADHERENCE
TO LINES OF PRACTICAL
ECONOMY BY SHOPPERS

New York, Dec. 17.-Christmas in
the financial district this year, judged
by surrace conditions, will lack the
spontaneous and prodigal spirit which
made memorable the holiday seasons
of the three preceding years.
This change is directly traceable to
the worldwide reaction in finance, in.
dustry and general trade, fact which
has been brought home to Wall
Street with increasing emphr sis dur
ing the past few motnhs.
For the most part the banks. trust
companies and other financia. inst-
tutions have had prosperous year
and the better known private banking
houses, especially those of interna-
tional repute. are expected to show
unusual liberty in the determination
Of their gratuities.
Already several prominent banks
have announced bonuses ranging from
Is to 25 per cent Of yearly salaries,
these contemplating similar advances
made during the J ar in recognition
OF increased living .osts.
In several instances Christmas gifts
are expected to amount to so per
cent of the years pay, accompanied
by an increase in salary for the COM
ing year.
Stock Exchange firms and commits
sion houses are not expected to be
so liberal as in the past, many OF
them having felt the contraction OF
the last half year, as nave also many
individual traders, otner than those
bears who have profited by market
rcversals.
There will be generous dlstrlbu-
ton, however. by all the exchanges
to their employees, the stock exchange
leading off tomorrow with Santa
Claus celebration.

ceived a telegram from Harry M.
Daugherty, President-elect Harding's
copy of this telegram to Mr.. lannon's

as follows:
MY friend, that great Republi-
can, the late Jake L. Hamon, was

while we are in politics. i know
how Highly Senator Harding es-
teemed him and how grateful he
IS for Mr.. lannon's i.ifiuence and

waivered in his loyalty and devo-
tion to our cause. Not being

ton Of Republican national commi'-
