swiss TROOP BAN
BLOW FOR LEAGUE
Bourgeois Answers Explana-
ton of Stand Against AS
sociation's Soldiers.
BY the Associated Press.

bs the Associated fress
PARIS. February 26.-Leon Bour-
geois of France. speaking at this
afternoons session of the council of
the league of nations, said that
Switzerland struck a great, blow at
the moral prestige of the league by
refusing right of way across her ter
ritory to the leagues forces, which
will insure order during the Wilma
plebiscite.
Aphonse Dunant. the Swiss minister
in Paris. had previously explained
to the council that while Switzerland
greatly regretted being obliged to re-
fuse. still she could not grant the
trality. He pointed out that Poland
and Lithuania, the parties to the dis
pute, had not agreed upon the con-
dition of the plebiscite arrangements
and there was the gravest menace
of hostile boIshevik action.
NJ. bourgeois admitted the difficult
ties of the Swiss situation, but eX-
pressed the opinion that it was for
the council to decide when the re-
quisite conditions had been fulfilled.
instead of member deciding for it
self. He added that membership in
the league imposed obligations as
well as conferred rights. and hoped
the Swiss representative would con-
vey to his government the assurance
that the council understood the diff
cuitieS, DuL keenIy IefC the pFeJuOIcG
caused the league by it's refusal.
NJ. Bourgeois then reverted to the
request of the free city of Danzig
for authorization to manufacture
so, 900 rifles for the Peruvian govern
ment. The council approved the
recommendation by ViScount Ishii
Japan. that the request be refused.
Clear Balfour's Position.
The council also approved the terms
of communique Intended to clear
up rumors that the reply to the Amer
lean note on mandates had been re-
ferred to Nr. Balfour. The general
terms of the reply. it was explained.
had been considered in the council
but Mr.. Balfour had been asked to
make a draft only because he was
more familiar with the subject than
the other members. This draft. when
completed, will be discussed again by
the council. probably on Monday. The
communique reads:
In order to set at rest certain
rumors ss to the reply of the council
to the American note on mandates.
il may be stated that the council has
not yet formally considered the terms
of the reply A preliminary discus
sion took place several days ago.
when it was decided that the general
lines brought out should be put to-
gether in preliminary draft to be
prepared by Mr.. Balfour. This pre-
liminary draft will be discussed by
the council early next week.

BELGRADE, Serbia, February 26. -
Pans have been discovered of an at
tempted communist blow to be tried
simultaneously in Czechoslovakia. Aus
tria and Jugoslavia. The governments
and the communists have been watched,
wholesale arrests being made in Jugo-
slavia and some in Czechoslovakia.
The biggest effort was made in Jugo-
slavia. because the people there, mis-
taking license Tor liberty. had neglected
to fight against the propaganda which
foreign agents had been conducting un-
til Jugoslavia was thought to be .'ripe"
for the execution Of the plot. In Czecho-
sloyakia the communist upheaval dwin-
died to few days strike
In Jugoslavia there were clashes with
the troops, but the casualties were few.
AS a result the Jugoslays had their ewes
opened to the danger OF too much lib
erty. Communist newspapers, SUBJ
sidised by foreign money, not all of
which came from Russia, were stopped
The presses in one plant were destroyed,
so IL is reported. and since that time
communistic papers and pamphlets have
been seized wherever found.
However. il is rather late in the day,
for the soap-box orators in the country
villages have sown the seed Of discon-
tent. The ground was prepared for
such propaganda. for the Jugoslavs have
not come out Of the wars more prosper
Gus than when they began fighting nine
years ago. Greater Jugoslavia was ex-
pected TO bring relief from years OF
privations and suffering. but the people
found their country devastated, fam
lilies scattered. money gone and viii
lagos destroyed. The formation of the
new state was attended by many quar-
rels. prices remained high and food and
clothing were scarce. For these reasons
the communist agitators found willing
listeners and received many votes
! There is not real communist in Jugo-
slavia. because this is perhaps the most
democratic country in Europe. It Is
probably the only country where all men
are on an equal footing. The votes fol-
the communists were votes prompted by
discomfort. aided strongly by Jugo-
slavia's northern enemies. At any
rate. the fifty-nine communist deputies

of the most important issues peiore

conservative government, because the
socialists seem to be united In favor
Of establishing a modified form OF pro-
hibition, while the conservatives are

the subject.
Smuggling Profitable.
From the point of view of the prac-
,ical enforcement of prohibition, 1t
would appear that Norway Is facing
an extremely difficult task. for on
every side her neighbors are produc-
ing unlimited quantities of strong
beverages, making smuggling not only
profitable but comparatively easy
The antagonists of prohibition have
carried on a ceaseless propaganda
since the present provisional law came
into force two years ago. Today this
propaganda is hotter than ever.
In the conservative newspapers
every argument used in the United
states in the last few years appears
daily Appeals are made by various
Industrial centers. claiming that their
welfare is seriously threatened. The
constitutionality Of a law which in
fringes upon personal liberty is also
attacked and many other arguments
are used.
However. those elements which ia
yor the enforcement Of prohibition ap-
parently have the advantage. They
want the law made permanent, with
state control of the imports through a
national monopoly. which insures the
purchase of the best grade of light
wines They also want a system OF
control over the wholesale and retail
trade through local monopoly granted
by each municipality. The socialist
members of parliament believe that
they will carry this plan when vote
| is taken. before the close of the par
liamentary session this spring.
In the meantime Norway is having

in enforcing the law. Bootlegging

NEW TYPHOID VACCINE
PERFECTED IN FRANCE
Pills Used Instead of Injections.
More Effective Than Old

PARIS. France, February 26.-A
new form of typhoid fever vaccine has
been perfected by Prof. Bezredka
OF the Pasteur Institution. If it is
all that he believes it to be it is likely
to attain high Importance, as it affects
not only all modern armies, but per-
haps even the problem of vaccinating
immigrants. The present method of
preventive typhoid incubation, as all
former doughboys and other soldiers
know, is not only uncertain, but highly
diSagreeable. 1t consists of admins
tering three or four subcutaneous in
lection, which generally have a strong
toxic effect during the few days fol-
lowing.
Prof. Bezredka's method is SIM
plicity itself. 1t consists of taking SIX
small pills through the mouth in the
usual way. 1t is not unpleasant, or in
furious in it's after-effects and the inn
munity is said to be prompt and COM
plete.
The professor. who is looked upon as
Prof. Metchnikoff's successor at
the Pasteur. Institute, expects that his
method will soon be adopted in the
French army, in which he served dur
ing the war. Meanwhile it is sug-
gested that it could be applied profit
ably to immigrants arriving in the
United States.

But everywhere these Prussians

Export trade was artificially in

But the German Spartan does

BERLIN, February 26.-Though the
ccrman government is sending out
ali kinds of propaganda designed to
show that the plebiscite in upper
Silesia will be conducted by the IN
terallied commission in favor of
poland there is every indication that
the Germans will have fair show
ing. Within the last few days the
writer has met several members OF
the plebiscite commission who spent
almost a year in the East Prussian
areas, where the Poles received a
comparatively small vote. The same
commissioners who counted the vote
there have been assigned to counttthe
vote in upper Silesia in March.
Most Of these men are British, and
when it is considered that England
will send four battalions of troops to
keep order in the plebiscite district,
it seems assured that the German
voters will be fairly treated in spite
of all reports to the contrary.

negroes out of employment there

lords have been boosting the rents
from 20 to so per cent, regardless
of the fact that there is no work
for them. Alderman Anderson of
Chicago said: HThe negro simply
cannot pay the high rents that
have been demanded of them.
Neither can they move. 1t is hard
enough for negroes to obtain
houses under normal conditions
much less when there is such a
shortage of homes as now exists.
The unemployed situation is add
ing to the serious state of affairs.
Hundreds of negro men and wo-
men are losing their jobs daily
and there is no prospects of relief
in sight. No work of any kind is
in sight and their financial condi-
tion is growing worse every day.
They have no means of support
and are not able to even pay for
the actual necessities of life to
sustain themselves and their fam
lies"
