GENEVA, Sept. 5.-The United States
had a larger representation at the open
ing of the assembly than any other
country In the world excepting Switzer-
land, but it was in the galleries. The
secretariat OF the league had been de-
luged with requests from Americans
visiting Switzerland for cards OF adrnis-
sion. but could grant only thirty-hye, Of
which two were present as unofficial OBJ
servers. They were Edward Cummings.
secretary OF the Carnegie Peace Foln-
dat!on. and Judge George w. Anderson,
of Boston.
Other prominent Americans present
were David Jayne Hill. former Ambas-
sador to Germany; frank A. Vanderlp.
Miss Jane Adams, and former Repre-
sentative Charles G.. Washburn. Of
Massachusetts,.
The large American attendance created
favorable comment among the delegates.

would be able to get through its work
quicker than last year.
President Van Karnebeek declared the

cooperation c- the big men and leading

the time necessary for the long sessions
of the assembly
The New York herald., 1921-09-06

States lately have been gravitating more
and more toward Washington rather
than 10 Europe and the league, and that
this may have something to do with their
absence.
The cost OF membership is known TO
have weighed heavily on these countries,
particularly as they found last year the
leagues assembly chiefly concerned with
Europe's affairs.
One or both of these reasons unques-
tionably lies behind to-day's emptiness
OF so many seats when the Parliament
opened.
According to reports here, Nicaragua
has recently made 1t plain to Geneva
that her attitude has been changed by
President Hardings declaration regard
ing the United States, and has ia -imated
that she preferred following Washington
rather than Europe In such matters.
However. the Central American States
now are forming federation which was
advanced by the league secretariat as
a possible reason for their absence.
Short OF FuRas.
None OF them have maid their last as
sessment, amounting to $4,000. Hayti
n,.s confessed hur Inability TO bear the
cost of league membership and has not
even paid her first assessment. Her
absence to-day, therefore, did not cause
surprise.
Frantic kilograms are being sent to
ascertain If anybody is on the way from
Peru. whose continued absence would be
particularly significant, not only because
of her Importance, but because of the
dispute with Chill and Bolivia over
boundaries. The league has refused to
burn its fingers on this dispute. fearing
to get into controversy with the United
States over the Monroe Doctrine.
Ardor has been somewhat killed on
the part of Peru and Bolivia by the at
titude of the league in refusing to take
UP the subject and Peru has now with
drawn her request that the league con-
slider 1t. Bolivia, however. is pressing
the matter.
The Latin-American situation de-
veloped a new point OF interest tonight
when Ambassador Edwards head OF the
Chilean delegation, declared that ii the
Chilean dispute with Bolivia and Peru
were put on the league agenda to-mor-
row over Chies objection sChile
would withdraw its delegation as did
Argentina last year. This has increased
interest in Peru's unexplained absence.
The South American countries are likely
to drift from the league unless the situa-
tien Is patched UP here, as their waning
interest is obvious.
The substance of the American note
on mandates which was recently sent to
the Allied Powers became known here
tonight
Secretary Hughes in the note, reiter-
ates Americas insistence upon having q
voice In the disposition of the German
colonies and insists that wherever an
open door is secured In mandate to a
member OF the League Of Nations the
United States shall receive equal rights,
and that there shall be no decisions in

Special Gable TO THE NEW YORK HERALD,
Copyright, 1921, by THE New loaK HERALD,
GENEVA. Sept. 5.-The outstanding
feature of the opening session of the
League of Nations Assembly here to-
day was the absence OF single repre-
sentatives from six Central American
States and also from Peru, Argentina
or Hayti. Costa RIca is supposed to
have a representative somewhere
en- route here. From the others, how
ever. not word has come, not even
an acknowledgment of the notice of
this meeting.
The absence Of these nine States,
two OF them among the most important
in South America, has reduced the
number of States represented at the
second Assembly to thirty nine,
despite Ave new members, and affected
the election of the Assembly's presi-
dent, as these Latin American States
which were absent with the other
Latin American States could easily
have elected DIR. CASTOR da Cunha OF
Brazil, whereas III. A. Van Karnabeek
OF Holland got twenty-one votes to-
day to Senhoc da Cunha's fifteen, and
will preside over the Assembly.
Mr.. Van karnabeek's candidacy was
backed by Great Britain. whereas French
influence was thrown to Senior da
Cunha.
Hope tn Hear Soon.
IT IL the hope of the league promoters
that the missing Latin-.-merican States,
except Argentina, will show UP in few
days. or else send some word indicating
that their absence is not due TO any wan
inS interest in the league,

BOXING BILL HAS
fine CHANCE OF
BECOMING 4 LAW

Charleston. w. Va. April 2o.-BoxinE
has an excellent chance" of being legal
lied in West Virginia by the present
legislature, according to Captain W. T.
Otto, a member Of the lower house from
Wheeling, and other members OF tho
legislature who are backing the Otto
Athletic Commission bill. recently re-
ported out by the judiciary committee
OF the house.
There were two bills aimed at the
same PURPOSE. the other giving the
American Legion the exclusive right to
stage boxing shows in the state. This
hill was protested in committee on the
ground it is said. that it would create
n monopoly" 1t was never reported out
Of the committee. The fight for 1t was
dropped by officers and the Legislative
committee Of the legion. it is said. after
assurance had been given by members
or the judiciary and budget committees
Of the legislature that an appropriation
in some form would be made for dis
abled war veterans In the state.
The Otto bill Is patterned after the
