TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased WIreJ

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 27.-Relief vessels searching the rocky coast of Washington in the vicinity of James island for the lost barge, w. J. Pirrie, early tonight, combing the seas in the neighborhood of Giants Graveyard rocks. ten miles south of that island according to a message from the navy radio station at North Head. Wash.
 An official list of the Pirrie's com pany. obtained from immigration au- thorities, showed 23 persons. includ- ing the wife and young son of Captain Alfred Jense, aboard when the barge first touched an American port. Only two. Purser Fred J. Breckenridge and Placida Villamar, a fireman, whose home is in the Philippines, are Amer jean citizens.
 There are no shoals near the rocks of the Giants Graveyard and shipping men believe that if the Pirrie struck there she had foundered. The search turned to that locality on a suggestion of Captain J. K. Tibbetts, master of the Santa Rita, which had the Pirrie in tow. Tibbetts in a wireless message to Nortss Ft6ad late today expressed doubt that the master of the Pirrie had been able to hoist sail and clear away from l the rocks lasf night

 Members of tho diplomatic corps here, except for representatives of gov ernment which already have recognized the new Meximan regime, are in a quandary over the inauguration.
 It is understood the French charge will attend in diplomatic uniform, which is taken to confirm the preva lent belief that France will recognize the Obregon government.
 The Italian charge, Stefano Carrara, will attend, but not in uniform; the Japanese charge, 1t is understood. will follow the action of the American charge; Great Britain is not officially represented here.
 Argentina, Chile, China and Guate- mala, having recognized the provis- ionaI government, will send accredit- ed ministers and several Latin Amer ican nations have announced special delegations will attend the ceremonies

We beg the American Legion and the rest of the citizens of New Mexico to re- member our ignorance, and the fact that to refuse to obey Francisco Villa would have meant death to us"
 This was the plea made today by Mariana Jimenez and David Rod riguez, two of the Is Villistas confined in the state prison here, serving terms for murder in connection with Villas raid on Columbus, N.

 The other men, without exception. concurred in this statement, claiming they were pressed into service by Villa.
 The 16 Villistas were pardoned by Gov O. A. Larrazolo several days ago and were to have been released from the penitentiary as soon as papers were prepared to deport them to Mex leo, but court action instituted to prevent their release. on the ground that the governor exceeded his au- thority in not first submitting the question of pardoning them to the penitentiary commission. served to halt action pending hearing of the case, which has been set for Decem- | Der f.

WORK
 DIRECTED ALONG LINES FAVORABLE .TO .S.PROPOSAL
League Assembly Hopeful United States Will Some Day Join League Has Worked Accordingly
TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased WIreI

GENEVA, Nov. 27.-Arrival today of Major Marlborough Churchill, chief of the military intelligence division of the general staff of the American. army, which so far as appears now, has no real significance, except to him. self 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 and probably in the minds of every delegate.
 The hope that the United States will some day join the league is unmls takable. The work of the assembly has accordingly been directed so as not to prejudice the most important questions at issue regarding the cove nant, and so as to leave the way open for the United States to have her say in it's eventual revision.
 Appearances during this assembly of any official or any official repre- sentative of the American government was the last thing hoped for. Major Churchill, consequently, was all the more an object of attention when his presence became known. The sub- committee considering the admission of new members has been unable to complete its work on account of objec- tions to both Bulgaria and Austria by
 
 and Jugo- Slavia are still standing out against Bulgaria, while Czecho- Slo- valxia has not yet consented to the ad- mission of Austria. Reasons given by the objectors are much the same as those presented by France against Germany. It has been pointed out to them, however, that both Bulgaria and Austria in their applications promised to fulfill their international obliga- -l--- gible. Suggestions were made to the representatives of the objecting states today that in view of the advantages they derived from the peace treaties, continued obstruction on their part would be likely to attract unfavorable attention.
 The ub-committee on armaments today continued hearing arguments in favor of the resolution introduced by Dr. Gastoa da Cunha of Brazil, mak- ing manufacture of arms and muni- tions a state monopoly. This propo- sition is gaining ground among the delegates, it being held that much of the tendency to provoke hostilities would be removed If all possible pri- vate profit from the manufacture of war materials should be eliminated.
 Work of the league committees has progressed enough to warrant an im- pression that a plenary session of the assembly will be held some time be- tween December and 10.
 Admission of new members to the league will be taken up by the assem- bly, by the end of next week. The little entente' will propose that Czecho- -Slovakia replace Greece as non permanent member of the coun cil, while the Scandinavian group fa- vors Sweden.
 Da Cunha's munitions resolution is receiving strong support in the sub- committee which has that question un- der consideration. It is understood members of the British delegation ana the Scandinavian delegates have made declarations favorable to the propo- sition.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-f~remler Lloyd George of Great Britain and Premier Leygues of France, comforting today, settled the question of the upper Si- sesian plebiscite in a manner the two believe will forestall what they think is Germanys effort to pack the prov ince with Germans for voting purposes.
 Under the plan the status of citi- zen will govern the day he shall vote. It will be arranged that known citizens will vote on one day Others who have lived in the province shorter time will vote another day, while those who recently settled will vote on still another day Should the latter cate gerry swing the plebiscite to Germany and the bonafide citizens vote against Germany the allies are likely to de- clare the plebiseite void.
