GENEVA, Sept. 12.-Elihu Roots
refusal to be a candidate for Judge
of the international court of JUS
tice threw a bombshell into league
of nations circles here today. 1t
was expected that Root would stand
pat and accept the post II unan-
imously elected. The secretariats
of the big powers practically insured
his unanimous election. hoping
thereby to establish contact with
the United States government
through Roots close relations with
the Republican administration.
Roots telegram to Sir Eric Drum
mond, secretary general of the
league. stated that he was not able
to accept for personal reasons. but
in private cablegrams to several
of the council members. II was ex-
planned that he was too old.
Scott's Position Stronger.
Roots withdrawal strengthens
the chances of James Brown Scott.
because it is realized that he shares
Roots principles, they having
worked together for many years and
being in a large part responsible for
the drafting of the constitution of
the court at The Hague in the sum-
mer of 1920. A number of the del
egates who had intended to cast
their ballots for Root will vote for
Scott Wednesday.
1t has been decided to refer the
question of the leagues competence
to judge the Chile-Peru dispute to
three jurists here. Senor Edwards.
OF Chile. stated that he was not
prepared TO admit that the league
was licensed to intrude in purely
South American affairs in violation
of the Monroe Doctrine. Senior Ar
amayo, of Bolivia, accepted tenta-
lively for his country unless the
government objects.
Outlines French Policy.
NJ. Bourgeois, in his speecs; to the
assembly this morning. enunciated
the French policy for the Wash
ington conference, asserting that
1T gives the league no cause for
anxiety. The Washington confer
ence deals with questions of the
Pacific and disarmament arrange
ments between the countries direct
ly involved"
Irinavasa Sastri. of India. raped
the United States bitterly in a
speech to the assembly.
"I have no patience with people
standing outside an organization
and criticizing its work." he said.
He also criticized the secretariat for
hiring four Americans. whereas
only one Indian representative is
employed.

SOLDIERS BODIES

Little Care Shown in Hand
ling Dead, Investigation
Reveals.

HoBoKEN, N. J.. Sept. Ire
moval of soldier dead from the
piers at Hoboken has become
fatigue duty" il not by army or
der. at least by practice. Numerous
complaints against the "irreverent
manner" in which the bodies Of A.
E. F. dead are handled after their
return from overseas led to an un-
official investigation today, which
revealed that little care is shown
in the handling of the collins after
they reach the army piers.
Fatigue duty is non-military
labor. frequently inflicted as a pun
ishment and which the soldiers
usually do in fatigue uniform" of
blue denim or with shirt and jacket
II is an assignment of
the *. p" variety. NOT awarded as
an honor.
At the army piers. crowded with
collins of soldier dead. there is no
military guard in evidence. and no
other honor to the dead than the
flag covering each coffin box. An
electric truck trundlss the coffins
to a loading stage where a group
of informally attired soldiers wait.
Army trucks back up to the load
ing platform. Beside IL a civilian
in shirt sleeves checks OF the cof-
fms in the same manner that a
shipping clerk checks OF boxes Of
merchandise. Then the cofins are
lifted into the trucks. Some Of
them are dropped, in place with q
thud audible many rods distant.
No military guard is on the
trucks; the drivers are unaccompa-
MED and their jacketless uniforms
are usually soiled and dirty, con-
trasting sharply with the neat APP
pearance OF the guards sent with
the bodies on the final stage Of the
journey. The trucks frequently
bounce at high speed over the cob
blestones as they leave the vicinity

BAVARIA RESENTS
BERLIN'S ACTION In
OUSTING Won KAHR
A rm e d Groups Advised
"Grave Times Are
Impending"

Special Gable to The Washington HeraId.)
BERLIN. Sept. 12.-It is apparent
that the victory of the Berlin gov
ernment over the Bavarian gov
eminent. through its ability to
force the resignation of Bavarian
Premier Won Kahr. threatens to
become a very doubtful victory for
the central government
The resignation Of Won Kahr has
intensified the feeling in Bavaria
against Berlin to an extraordinary
degree.
Various armed groups which still
exist in Bavaria as clubs. societies
and in various other guises, have
been confidentially advised TO hold
themselves in readiness for instant
call because grave times are i'm
pending"
Parliament to BE Called.
1t is expected that the Bavarian
parliament. which must accept the
resignation of the premier and
elect his successor, will be called
in special session within a few
days to act upon Won Kahr's
resignation.
Former Minister of Education
Knilling is spoken of as the lead
ing candidate. Knilling is looked
upon as a man who favors the
separatist movement more than Won
kahr did. and his election as
premier would give the secessionist
movement a strong impetus.
Won Kahr is a Protestant. but
with Knilling's election Germany
would have a Catholic centrist
chancellor for the empire, in Wirth;
centrist premiers in Prussia,
wuerttemberg and Bavaria, and a
dominant clerical cabinet in Baden,
making Roman Catholicism a more
important factor in the government
than it ever has been before.
Kahr Urged to Remain.
The Berlin government is much
over the developments in
Bavaria. Kahr's formal retirement
has not yet taken place, and the
Bavarian democratic and conservae
tive press are urging him to re-
main.
The fact that Berlin today is In
the grip of an unexpected strike
in the city power station. paralyz-
ing industries. street railways and
with threatened strikes
in the gas and water works. while
quiet and order prevail in Bavaria
under Kahr. has served to still
further prejudice the Bavarians
against Berlin's attempt to force
a similar system upon them.

LANSING MAY SIT
IN ARMS PARLEY
ASAIDTOCHINESE
Expected to Act as Coun.
sci to Delegation With
DIR. Reinsch.

Former Secretary of State Robert
lansing may sit at the forthcoming
armament and Far Eastern confer
ence, representing a foreign power.
Lansing. it is learned in reliable
quarters, either will be or has been
asked to act with DR.. Paul Reinsch
as counsel for the Chinese delega-
ton. Lansing is now out OF the
city and pending final outcome of
the matter neither his. office here
nor the Chinese legation were able
to make any statement on the ques-
ton. At the legation, however, IL
was pointed ont, that lansing and
his father-in-law. the late john w.
Foster. acted as counsel for the
Chinese government some years ago
and that even recently the Chinese
here have kept in touch" with
Lansing.
The possibility Of Lansing's par
ticipation in the conference is in
IeTeSllHS III ll6Hl VI nlS bICdh "ANh
former President Wilson following
the Paris peace conference and the
exceptions he took, in his book on
the negotiations there. to settle
ments Wilson approved in the Far
East. Lansing also was co-author
of the agreement negotiated be-
tween the United States and Japan
in 1916, which was interpreted to
mean American recognition of ia
pans special interests" in the
Orient
1t is because of his intimate
knowledge of Far Eastern prob
lens. as well as his experience on
the American peace commission at
Paris that Lansing is said to he
sought by the Chinese government
to cooperate with DR.. Reinsch as
counsel during the parleys here.
If Lansing serves he will be the
first of the Wilson peace commits
sioners to be called into the forth
coming diplomatic struggle. Gen.
Bliss, another of the Wilson COM
mission, might be expected to >5e
called by Harding in an advisory
capacity to the already selected
American negotiating group, but
there has been no announcement to
this effect.
