Geraniums should be kept moist, but
should not be given too much water

fairly even temperature, and II should
be borne in mind that they must have

BOundry Dispute
Put Up to League

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Geneva-iChile has already launched
her fight to prevent the September
Assembly OF the League Of Nations
from undertaking to revise 1904 An.
con peace treaty between Bolivia and
Chile
Bolivia's request that the League
take up this question was put on the
agenda for the Second General As
sembly of the League over the pro.
test of the Chilean delegation The
latter challenged squarely the com
potency of the League to undertake
the revision of such a treaty as that
OF 19Oi-a treaty which, according to
the Chilean delegation has already
demonstrated its efficacy as a
means for maintaining peace.
AS the next step in her fight the
Chilean delegation has Just protested
to the Seretariat of the League of
Nations against the manner in which
the question is inscribed on the
agenda.
According to the latter the assem-
bly, will be called upon to pass up
the whole question in dispute.
