An interesting feature in connec-
tion with the present meeting of the
League of Nations at Geneva is the
report of the committee on amend
ments. 1t was quite generally thot
that the famous Article X would
be removed or substantially changed.
The committee, however, refuses to
make such a recommendation and re-
asserts the essential necessity Of
that Article to the efficiency Of the
League taking a position practically
similar to that of ex-President Wilson.
This opinion is largely one of defer
ence to the smaller nations who be-
lieve their existence and welfare abb
solutely depend upon it.

The three peace treaties between
the United States, Germany, Aus
tria and Hungary have passed thru
the hands of the Committee Of For
eign Affairs in the Senate and are now
before the Senate for ratification.
Only one member of the Commit
tee, Senator Borah, opposed the sub
mission of the treaties. His opposi.
tion was based on the idea that the
treaties by adopting certain sections
of the Treaty of Versailles and re-
ferring to that treaty for the word
ing might be so misconstrued as to
make the U. s. to some degree a
party to the much disliked Peace Of
Versailles.

Arrangements are progressing for
the Disarmament Conference which
is to meet in Washington in Novem-

tration are seeking SO far as possi-
BILE to make the American people un-
derstand that they must not expect
too much in the way of results, and
that the U. S. will be- able 70 get
along all right II there are no re-
suits at all. An effort is also being
made to give n dignity and serious
ness to the occasion such as its OBJ
jects merit. At present the question
Of secret or open sessions is the one
most widely and vigorously discussed.
There seems also to be a tendency on
the part of the nations participating
to increase the size of the delegations.
1t is now believed that neither Lloyd
George nor the French premier,
BRAND, will be present.

A rather interesting and significant
tendency is being observed in Russia
since the food shortage began. The
Soviet regime headed BY Lsnine,
realizing their inability to meet the
situation, are throwing more respon-
sibility on the provinces and in
this way bringing about q decentral-
ization Of authority and power. This
may be explained either as a genuine
desire to save the life of the Rus
sian population or as a means Of
avoiding responsibility and so saving
the life of the government. In
either case it is likely to produce i'm
portant results in the solution of the
Russian problem and the Soviet sys-

KELLOGG MAKES PLEA
FOR U. 5. PAPER MAKER
(By United Press)

4 Chicago, ILL.,. Nov. 2.-"American
publishers will suffer in the long run
from the present condition in the pa

mills can not make paper to meet

1T costs less to ship tonsof news
print paper from Scandinavia to New

same paper from Niagara Falls to

"America's paper industry, therefore,
faces serious competition from for
eipn lands, not alone because OF the
fact that foreign paper is made by
cheap labor, under deprecated ex-
change conditions, but because OF the

chaser alike, in any commodity where
price extremes are found.
ut is better" continued Kellogg,
"for the American user of newsprlnt
to have dependable source OF supply
at home. at a price which affords a
reasonable profit to the manufacturer
and thus encourage greater produc-
ton, than to have temporary sup

TOO STARVED TO Be HUNGRY

I cannot quite bring myself to tell
tales of famine horrors-the monkey

kiang who was carrying home a
starved cat for food, and in response
to query, tried 50 hard to sell it to
me as delicate morsel, and such
general concomitants as the incidence
of smallpox plague with the famine.
One of the unexpected aspects Of
work in the famine camps came when
I was accompanying Mrs. Paxton Of
Chinkiang as she made rounds to dis
tribute medicine to the sick among
the hungry. AS matter Of fact,
relatively few, persons ever die in a
famine directly from actual hunger,
but rather from diseases induced by
malnutrition.
Obligingly, Mrs. Paxton freely trans
lated for me as we went along, and we
found, in pathetic paradox, that the
commonest request Of these starving
creatures was for medicine to give
them an appetite! Even when they
succeeded in getting a bowl Of food
from the relief station, ran the re-
peated tale, they could not eat it,
having no taste fO,. fond
To us this meant, obviously, that the
sufferers had reached the final stages,
where craving for food had passed
away. They were not hungry, be-
cause they were starving !-William

COTTON MEN HOPEFUL
BEFORE ANNUAL MEET
fRy United PreSS)

Roston. Nov. REPRODUCTION costs
will be the subject of open discus
sion in the first session of the annual
meeting of the National Association
If Cotton Manufacturers, which open
ed here. today in connection with the
international Textile Exposition.
A general relief over the prospect
of tariff protection was noticed among
the cotton men here to attend. 1t
was pointed out that during the war,
the big struggle eliminated European
countries as competitors in the cot
ton trade, but now the manufacturers
of the country welcome protection as
result of indications of renewed
competition from abroad.
It was stated yesterday that the
cotton manufacturers of New Eng
land do not contemplate any lmme-
date wage reductions, although it
was admitted that the question OF
wages and labor , costs were being
studied.
Cotton trade developments in CEN
trail Europe are being closely watch
ed. it was learned, because of the pos
SlDlllCy OIL HeEHlilly DCSohA'hs ~ "N.1A
gerous competitor in the textile IN
dustry.
Indications are that the export
trade is proceeding. on the basis OF an
annual export of 675,OOO,OOO yards
of cotton goods.
Speaking of possible German COM
petition, it was pointed out that Ger
man mill workers are paid the equiva-
lent of 81 a week, while American
operatives receive nearly six times
that wage.
Today's meeting was given over
almost entirely to the discussion OF
production costs in which the various
representatives compared figures.
On Thursday morning, Frank W..
Reynolds, chairman of the committee
on Industrial Research of the national
association, will preside at a meet
ing in which research and the prog
ress made in connection with cotton
manufacture will be described.

BOOKED FOR NOVEMBER II

~ The famous Tex Richard motion
pictures of the ey-Carpentler
worlds championship boxing contest,
held in Jersey City on July 2, will be
seen, here at the Grand theater on
SArmistice Day.
These are the only authentic NOV
les of the celebrated battle in which
Jack Dempsey retained the worlds
championship after four-round en-
counter with Georges Carpenter,
champion Of Europe. Fred c. Quimby,
who directed the taking of the pic
lures, had a battery of more than
twenty cameras, and every detail OF
the struggle is shown from the time
the men entered the ring up to the
tremendous ovation given both OF
them as they left the. arena.
H An outstanding feature of the pic
lures is the introduction of "slow-
motion" photography, by which
means the speed Is reduced to one
eighth normal action, thus allowing
the audience to study, in minute de-
tail, several of the most sensational
incidents during the encounter.

young, and she keeps them at her side
