bay which said that the stock and ex-
change markets OF that city had been
closed and that a general religious
strike was In prospect because two
European boys had killed two pigeons
In the streets OF the city
The natives considered the pigeons
sacred and the strike resulted because
the police did not take the action
which the natives thought should have
followed the destruction OF the birds.
From the beginning Of history there
Is a record Of animal worship by hu-
man beings.
The carvings and crude paintings OF
the earliest Egyptian periods, which
are the first picture record that we
have, show the esteem In which the
lower forms Of life were held.
The cat was especially venerated by
the anclents and in the tombs Of
Egyptian rulers and nobility are found
wonderful carvings OF cat heads some
times pictured as being on human
bodies.
The tops Of funeral Jars which were
placed in the tomb to contain either
food or toilet preparations for the use
OF the dead had covers OF cat heads
wonderfully true to nature. The
Metropolitan Museum In New York
has numerous examples Of these Jars.

populations still worship 1t and lead

state ceremonials. Greek and Roman
mythology and history are filed with
references TO the sacredness OF the
bull and It figures largely In both
painting and sculpture.
In India, no matter how near to
starvation man may be he will not
take food from a dog nor kill 1t to
eat. although dogs are recognized as
a staple article Of food In the Philip
pines and other parts OF the world.
To kill a dog in India would be al.
most sacrileglous.

GENEVA, Sept. 26-The smouldering
Balkan fires blazed up before the
League of Nations to-day, with let

ing to fan the flames. Both were en-
tered TO support the demand Of the
Greeks that the league keep its hands
off this Balkan row between two
league members until Albania's from
tiers are defined by the Powers.
The introduction of these documents
by the Greeks, calling in the present
Washington Administration on their
side against Albania's claims, was a
surprise to many European delegates.
After long argument the political
committee of the league. impotent

adopted two resolutions introduced by
Lord Robert Cecil representing the
Union OF South Africa One begged the
Albanians to accept the decision by the
Council Of Ambassadors on her frontiers
when 1t Is rendered. and the other au-
thorized a committee to find out how
the decision by the 'allied and asso-
ciated Powers" could be put into effect
The words Associated Powers" were
added because the Greeks said the

produced to-day, must be taken into ac-
count.
Mr.. Hardings letter wss written in
his campaign and at the time OF a Greek
meeting in Boston. He said he had
voted for the Lodge resolution and
would continue to do all In his power to
further the Greek claims in northern
Epirus. He added:
Il voted for the Lodge resolution ce-
claring that It was the sense OF the Sem
ate that northern Epirus should go TO
Greece, including Koritza, the twelve
islands and the western coast OF Asia
Minor. Likewise 1 voted for the reso-
luton expressing the Judgment that
Thrace should be Incorporated in the

attention of the Soviet Government to
alleged serious breaches of faith In the

and Afghanistan by the Soviets has been
delivered to Lord Curzon.
M. Berlin of the Russian trade dele

yiets are fully convinced the accusa-
tions are without foundation the Soviet
Government is making fresh inquiries in
order to be able to refute the charges in
detail. Meanwhile. M. Berzin says, no
time mist be lost In pointing out that
many OF Lord Curzon's statements will
not bear the most superficial exanlina-
tion.
As an instance, he says that Roth

Moral suasfon Needed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. Sept 26.-Another applica
ton of moral suasion will be proposed to
the assembly or the League OF Nations
by It's political committee in the frontier
disputes between Albania and Jugo-
Slavia. on the one hand. and between
Albania and Greece on the other Bishop
Fan S. Noli, the Albanian delegate,
spoke to-day for Albania, NJ. Frargulitch
for Greece and NJ. Spalaikovitch for
Jugo-Slavia.
NJ. Spalaikovitch read telegram
from Premier Paehitch Of Jugo- Slavia
confirming the Albanian report OF the
ultimatum issued by Jugo-Siavia to AL
bania to evacuate several villages. the
bonrbardment of Arras by the Jugo-
Slavs and the advance Of the Jugo-Slav
troops. The despatch stated, however,
that all these operations were made
within the line of demarkation and were
intended only to drive the Albanians
back on to their own side Of the line.
This line was traced by Gen. Franchest
d'Esperey OF France and is purely milf
tary. without political bearing.
The Albanian delegate explained that
the Albanian Government had been try
ing for a year to get recognition in
washington and In the European capi-
laIS without success. he asked tnat tne
assembly adopt a resolution command
ing recognition OF Albania.
This morning debate on methods OF
applying the blockade. the economic
weapon of the league, against a country
which violates provisions Of the cove
nant. appear to confirm the belief ex-
pressed In the last few days by many
Of the delegates that the assembly is
approaching a deadlock on two Of it's
most important problems, those Of dis
armament and blockade. The reports on
both these questions were prepared with
great difficulty.
The debate showed line was drawn
sharply between two distinct groups. one
headed by Lord Robert Cecil. DR.. Fridt-
iof Nansen and Signor Schanzer OF
Italy which Is radical on disarmament
but conservative on blockade. and an
other. led by H. A. L. Fisher of England
and NJ. Bourgeois and M. Reynald OF
France, which insists on strict applica-
ton Of the covenant provisions for block

on disarmament.
days debate that unless the Assembly
can abrogate the rule requiring unanirn-
ity on questions concerning matters
other than procedure and election II Will

session. II Is believed that unanimity
