The memberehip of the league win be
increased 10 Atty II the assembly adopts
the recommendation OF the political conf
mittee which to-day decided to approve
the admission of Letv:a and Esthonia.
The applications of Lithuania and Hun
gary were put over. Hungary's applica-
tion will not come up again until Septem-

Der of the league, he had a number OF

replied "and II can find more like them
will take them on. wherever they come
from"
The preponderance of British and
French on the secrctariat and the Labor
Bureau is being severely criticised by
the representatives OF the smaller States.
The committee win probably recommend
that In so far as possible all States rep
resented in the assembly shall have pro-
portionatc representation In the eyecn-
tive organizations.
The permanent International Court of
Justice will probably hold its first meet
ing In The Hague during the last week
Of October. Two cases already have
been fled with the league for trans
mission to the court when 1t opens. They
both are from the International Labor
Bureau created by the league. One calls
for an Interpretation Of the clause Of the
International Labor Bureau giving the
eight principal industrial nations the
right to cit permanently on the board
OF the bureau. The other grows out OF
the refusal of the employers group In
the bureau to nominate representatives
for the mixed commission on disarna-
ment.
What may prove to be asolution of the
deadlock reached between the assembly
and the council of the league over the
choice of the fourth deputy Judge Of the
International Court of Justice was
reached by the special joint committee
named by the assembly and the council
in an effort 70 bring about reconcilia-
ton OF the divergent views. The COM
mittee selected Judge +. v. n. Beich-
mann of Norway, President of the Court
of Appeals OF Drontheirn. for this last
remaining OF the deputy judgeships.
This choice. however. must be ratified
by the assembly and the council.
The original choice of the assembly
was DR.. Alexandra Alvarez of Chile, and
that of the council Baron Descamps OF
Belgium.
Bolivia to-day withdrew her demand
for the inclusion of her dispute with
Chile in the agenda Of the Assembly Of
the League of Nations. Experts will
have time in which to agree upon the
question of the competency of the league
to take up matters of this description.

Papers Express Hope Wiser

LONDON. Sept. 16 (Friday) The
morning newspapers generally express
hope that wiser counsels will prevail TO
prevent a break in the truce in Ireland
and at the same time give the Irish
people a chance to be consulted as 20
their wishes.
The London Times thinks situation
of the utmost gravity las arisen. There
can be no question" IL says "of the
sincerity of the Governments desire to
meet an Irish settlement. nor is the.e
reason TO doubt that they have gone
to the utmost limit which this country
would sanction"
The Daily Telegraph expresses disap-
pointment over Mr.. de Valera's letter
"for there seemed TO be a chance that
the point had been reached at which
Mr.. de Valera and those acting with
him would find 1t advisable to come down
to earth with realities"
The Daily 7 Telegraph believes the Irish
people now are ready to surrender their
demand for an independent republic but
that De Valera and his associates are
unable to drop their independence policy
without involving themselves In contempt
and ridicule.
"Thc arrangements for the conference
are cancelled" 1t says. Meanwhile the
Irish people are free to mediate on the
results achieved by handing over their
political destinies to the keeping of the
active spirits Of the Sim Fein."
The Daily Chronicle says Lloyd
George had the empire behind him in
the making of his offer to the Sim
Fcin TO confer within the circle of the
empire and that he will have 1t no
less in his reply calling off the
proposed conference. The newspaper
asserts that a majority of the Dali
Eireann threatens TO bring the truce
to an end and cast the country back
into the throes of hateful conflict" but
1t wonders II the Irish people will "re-
main passive and ac1uiescent while
the cup which they longed for and
which is within their grasp Is dashed
from their lips by gesture of in
fatuation" 1t asks why Sim Fein
leaders do not take pleb!scite for au-
thority to accept the British. offer II
their election platform does not give

he gave his hackers no end of worri-

be able to get in his real stride until
the field was we'll down the stretch.
But once McAtee gave him a few

Coster Holds Sharkey
Off for Is Rounds

Jack Sharkey was awarded the
judges decision over Benny Coster
after fifteen listless rounds last night
at the Pioneer S. C. Coster refused
to fight except in the seventh round,
and took every opportunity to hold
Jacks right hand Sharkey spent most
of his time trying to pull away from
Coster, and Benny's mind semeed set
solely on grabbing Jacks gloved mitt.
Sharkey landed number of punches,
most of them weak rights that did little
damage and served mainly to whet
Costers appetite for stalling. Sharkey
weighed 1904 and Coster half pound
less.
In the tenround preliminary Bud
Riddle, of Seattle, received the referees
decision over Lou Snyder of Bayonne
Riddle weighed 1877 pounds, four less
than his antagonist, but it was the
Westerner's fight by a mile and the
crowd was surprised when the judges
failed to settle the award
