EXPECT LIVELY FIGHT
 ON TWO PLATOON PLAN
Proponents and Opponents of Measure Lining
 Up Today.

Adherents to and opponents of the two-platooh system for the fire depart ment are leaving not a stone unturned today to add strength to their faction in anticipation of one of the liveliest battles that has taken place in the council in many years when the report of the fire board comes before that body for action at special session tomorrow evening.
 Despite the fact that many of the city fathers have, already made up their minds as to how they will vote, there is believed to be a sufficiently large number of council members who have not determined what course they will take to swing the issue one way or the other. Interviews were secured today with as many aldermen and councilmen as could be reached so that the probable action of the coun- cil might be learned, but the results indicate a wide variation of opinion as to ways and means of providing a two-platoon, affording considera ble ground for lively debate at the council meeting. .s=
 As a result of the fire boards latest unheaval, the report to go to the coun- cil will set forth that two commis- sioners, Messrs. Parsons and Tomas zewski, favor the adoption October 1,

TO SETTLE CHILEAN DISPUTE
Sir Eric Drummond to Submit Sccre- taIiat Report for Year to August Body of Diplomats at Today's Ses- sion in Switzerland

| Geneva, Sept 6.-(By Associated | Press .)-Bolivia's request that the as- | scmbly of the league of nations con- sicer ome means of settling the dis putes over the provinces of Tacna and | Africa, at present under Chilian jur- | l,diction, was expected to cause sharp debate in todays session of the as- | senbly. Peru appeared at first as a party to Bolivia's request, but it was announced this morning she had with drawn
 The request for the assembly's aid was based by Bolivia on the principle enunciated by Woodrow Wilson, that all states were entitled to an outlet to the sea. Augustin Edwa rds Chilean minister to Great Britain and head of the Chilean delegation in the assembly, came here expressly to oppose consid- eration of the Tacna-Arica problem. He was armed with a formidable ar- ray of opinions from international lawyers, including one from John w. Davis, former America ambassador to Great Britain, supporting his conten- ton that the assembly was incompe- tent to deal with he question. Sir Eric Drummond was prepared to report on the years work of the secre-
 
 and it was expeced that this report would be heard after the election of the six vice-presidents of the assem- bly,.
 Sir Fries report embodied the con- clusion of the special committee which Investigated the organization last spring and recommended the seat of tfe league should be removed to Brus- seis in the interest of economy. A number of the delegates had intimat- ed they. would urge such a removal, and they pointed out that, with the exchange rate adverse to all delegates, the cost of living and maintenance of the secretariat here was excessively high.
 The absence of delegates from the Central American states at the open ing of the assembly yesterday occas- toned much comment, there being a tendency in some crcles to attribute their absence to the influence of the United States It was explained, howl ever, that the Cosa Rican delegation had expressed the opinion that the absence of other Central Americans was due to uncertainty as to whether the new Central American federation was entitled to only one delegation, or whether each state still could be rep- resented. .F'- &s
