LEAGUE DISCUSSES GERMANY
Her Entrance Into World Assembly
Considered Doubtful.

Geneva-Mandates, open diplomacy
and the admission of former enemy
states to the League of Nations fur
nished material for discussion in the
assembly of the League of Nations.
For the first time the word revision
was pronounced-in connection with
Article eighteen Of the covenant of the
League, which provides for the regis
tration of treaties or international en-
gagements. For the first time, also,
the viewpoint Of labor as regards the
League was presented.
Twice again the admission of for
mer enemy states into the League was
advocated. Labor was quoted by Mr..
Barnes as in large majority demand
ing it. There now have been repre-
scented in the demands for the admis-
ison of the former enemy states South
Africa, Great Britain, Switzerland, Ar
gentina and Scandinavia 1t still ap-
pears, however, that no one of the de-
legations is ready to take the initiative
in proposing the election of Germany
to membership.

LEAGUE SEEKS TO
HELP ARME:NlANS
Appeal to Powers Is Agreed On
Against Aggression by Turk
iSh Nationals.
PLEADS PROMPT ACTION
Balfour Explained Failure of Council!
to Find a Mandatory for Armenia
Refers to Failure of u. S. to
Accept Mandate.

Geneva-The assembly of the
League of Nations decided, without a
dissenting vote, to appeal to the
powers in the hope of finding a gov
eminent willing to undertake media
ton between the Turkish Nationalist
under Mustapha Renal Pasha and the
Armenians
Earnest debate preceded tho vote Oil
the resolution, which was presented by
M. Viviani, former premier of France
inviting the council to take the action
indicated. 1t threatened at times, how
ever, to justify predictions Of the
leagues opponents that the work of
the assembly would founder on the
rule requiring a unanimous vote
Mr.. Balfour of England explained
the failure of the council to find a
mandatory for Armenia. He 4eferred
to the refusal of the United States to
accept a mandate and hoped that the
committee of the assembly might do
better.
Viviani Pleads Earnestly
M. Viviani pleaded warmly for
prompt action provoking the first en-.
thusiastic demonstration of the assem-
bly,. He declared that if the assembly
was unable to do better than name an
other committee it would proclaim its
own impotence.
1t was remarked that Lord Robert
Cecil applauded vigorously from the
South African bench, while the Eng
lish delegates, Mr.. Balfour and II. A.
L. Fisher, remained Indifferent. 1t
seemed against an eventual military
expedition more than against media
ton, as proposed by M. Viviani.
Although Dr. Frithjof Nansen was
the only one to speak boldly in favor
of an expeditionary force to deal with
the Turkish Nationalist leader, all
others, except Mr.. Balfour, approached
as closely as they could to this even
tuality without actually saying so.
Fight Seems imminent.
The general impression, after the
debate, was that the assembly favored
fighting Renal Pasha, if no other way
was found to end the conflict in Ar
menia.
There was a moment of supreme
tension when the vote was reached as
the attitude of Mr. Balfour seemed to
indicate he would prevent a unanimous
vote.
NJ Viviani, CASTOR da Cunha, Lord
Robert Cecil, NJ La Fontaine (Bel-
gian), H. Branting and Dr. Nansen con
ferred and decided to combine on the
proposition as advocated by the French
and South African delegates.
To the great relief and surprise Of
the assembly Mr.. Balfour was one of
the first to rise and vote for the reso-
luton.

I The many Crawford county friends
of E. w. Pierce, for more than thirty
years connected with the First Nation
al bank in Denison, will be pleased to
learn that he has consented to the use
of his name in connection with the OF
flee OF county treasurer, and his name
will be found in the republican column
on the primary ticket to be voted June
7th At the time Of going to press Mr..
Pierce was in Des Moines, where he is
attending the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church as a dele.
gate, and he could not be interviewed
but his friends assure us that M r.
Pierce will make. a strenuous campaign
this fall for election. His, ability is UNI
questioned, and his integrity above re
proach, and there is not a man in the
county more qualified sfor the Office.
During his connection with the First
National bank at Denison Mr.. Pierce
came in contact at one time or another
with almost every voter Of the; county,
and his personal acquaintanceships thus
gained will stand him well in hand dur
ing the campaign He is a man Of ex-
ceptional education; he received his pre-
liminary schooling in the district
schools of Illinois, his native state, and
later attended the Northern Illinois
college at Fulton for five terms. After
coming, to Crawford county he began
his business career as a teacher and
taught for a number of terms in Union
township, and was for two years prin-
cipal of the Dow City schools Later he
engaged in the hardware business at
Dow City in which he remained for
twelve years. In 1890 he entered the
First National bank. at DenisOn as book
keeper, and remained in this position
until few months ago., when he re-
tired. One reason for his retirement
was his election as a delegate to the
general conference of the Methodist
church, a very high honor, and a posi-
ton that necessitated all his time from
the date of his election up to the con-
vening Of the conference. now in SEES

traits and pleasing personality, and in
the discharge of any business matters
or responsibilities has shown fidelity
that meets the hearty approval Of all:

Land Transaction for Months of Febrti
airy and March Total 50 .68O. 900,
Exclusive Of City, Property K
THE. LAND RAISES IN PRICE
Owners Improving Their Farms and
Some Predict 81 900 An Acre
~ Land Within Two Years

All records are broken by Crawford
county in land transactions for the
months of February and March this
year the total being $9,680.0O0.00 ex-
elusive of the town properties which
easily would total three millions of
dollars.
County Recorder w. A. Cramer
last week figured UP the total of the
land transactions for the two months
period and states that it is a record
for Crawford county. Land values in
the county rose by leaps and bounds
last year and spectators did their
share toward setting the high water
mark in transfers For the past few
weeks there has been little dealing in
farm lands but real estate men state
that they look for a rush business in
the next few weeks.
A year ago everyone stated that the
limit had been reached for Crawford
county land but in our opinion even
with the four and five hundred an acre
land the end is not yet and why
should it? Crawford county has never
known complete crop failure and no.
where in the state can more fertile
soil be found than here. Our farmers
are improving their lands, putting up
modern buildings etc, and 1t would
not be a surprise to, see some Of these
good farms selling for as much as
81 900 an acre within q very few years.
