No definite date has been set for the change, it being merely stipulated that the new rule become effective soon after January~1, 1922. The time was ex- tended by the government so that shoppers during the Christmas holi- days would not be inconvienced by street railway traffic confusion.
 Ever since British Columbia has been province, the English rule of the road of keeping to the left has been followed by vehicular traffic. Now, as result of the measure passed by the legislators year and half ago, the rule in force in the other provinces and in the United States will be adopted.
 The British Columbia Electric Railway Company is faced with the greatest problem in connection with the turn to the right plan. The company finds it will have to spend one million dollars to alter it's equip ment to meet new conditions Of. this amount, however, the provincial government has agreed to contribute S350,000.

WARSAW, July 27-Inspectors of the American Relief Administration of the European Chldren's Fund which is feeding 3OO,O09 children in Poland, have just explored dis tricts along the eastern frontier of the new republic where thousands of persons made homeless by war are living in soldiers dugouts and where no white bread has been seen in more than three years. Hereto fore, it has been almost impossible to reach these areas chiefly because of lack of transportation.
 In the Pripet marsh country. be tween Pinsk and the Russian border one inspector reported that after reaching the railroad terminal he had travelled two days by automobile, then by boat and by horseback to visit people who had been reported in need. Potatoes had been the principal food uponlwhich these peo- pie existed during the winter, the inspectors reported! and with the coming of spring, men, women and children lived chiefly upon cooked grass, dandelions and some farm products.
 At various points along the iron. tier, which follows the old German Russian trench line of 1917, peas ants who had been driven from their homes by advancing armies, have been returning, only to find their homes demolished and virtual ly everything gone excepting tha dugouts for shelter until they are able to build shacks upon their holdings.
 In scores of villages in this battle area not one house has been left standing. They were demolished either during the fighting between the Russians and the Germans or afterward when the Bolsheviki in vaded territory which is now a part of Poland.

TENTATIVE PLANS.
 FOR MEETING OF. LEAGUE NATIONS
Agenda Contains no New Subjects of Importance
 Requests Expected.

GENEVA, July 27.-The agenda of the next meeting of the Assembly of the League of Nations, to be held here September D. is not expected to contain any new subject of particu lar importance, though the members still have time to submit any sub jects they would like to have dis cussed
 Thus far there is only one item put on the agenda at the request of member, the Tacna-Arica dispute which will be listed at the request of Bolivia
 Not many such requests are ex. pected, most of the work that will come before the popular body of the league being the outgrowth of work already begun. such as disarmament, the International Court and the con tinuation of work that was referred to special commissions such as the fight against the white slave traffic. facilities.
 As the work in sight stands. the order of business. with such modifi- cations as may be made necessary by subsequent requests of members will be:
 Organization of the assembly,; re ports of special committees appoint ed at the request of the first as sembly. including amendments to the covenant; registration of treaties the economic blockade and the in terior organization of the league; the budget; reports of the provisional technical organizations of the league, including the financial com mittee's report on the scheme to resuscitate Austria; election of II judges for the International Court i, the reduction of armaments; Bo- livia's request for mediation in the non-permanent members of the Coun- cil of the League; admission of new members.
 Hungary is thus far the only new dPPiiSdht tOt Ol JUt dS- sembly, but there are in suspense the previously filed applications of Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Azerbai- jan. Georgia, Armenia and Lichten- stein. -~c
 It is regarded as practically cer- tain in league circles that the as sembly will be called upon to pass on the admission of Germany. No intimation has been received of an intention on the part of Germany to make an application herself, but .sev- eral delegations it is expected will be ready to propose her. taking as an argument for admission the fact that the present German cabinet has shown it's intention to Loyalty execute the country's obligations.
 Germany is expected to have the support of Italy. Austria, Bulgaria Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries as well as that of some of the South American delegations.
