LEAGUE IS DIVIDED UPON
 QUESTION OF DISARMAMENT

GENEVA, July 11.--(By Associated Press)-The League of Nations ap- pears to be moving toward deadlock in it's efforts to bring about general reduction of armaments. The special committee that was to draft, for pro- posal to all members of the League, general treaty to that end, with a mutual pact of guarantee to give effect to Article Ten of the covenant, has failed to accomplish anything. It is divided between the Cecil project for a general guarantee pact, and a French substitute providing for limit ed agreements between two or more members.
 The success of any such project calls for the assurance of security to such countries as France and Poland, which make it a requisite condition to any reduction in armaments. The French delegation insists that the Cecil project for a general guarantee pact does not give that security be- cause several of the smaller members of the League, such as Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, have made 1t clear that they will remain outside Of it. These countries are not counted upon to furnish military aid under such an agreement, but their absence from the combination it is argued. would make it impossible to apply the blockade to Germany. for instance, and. under the League covenant the blockade is the first weapon that would be used against a prospective aggressor
 Cecil and his friends point out that the French project for regional agree ments between two or more members tends only to the perpetuation of the old system of alliances and the de- velopment of groups of powers hostile to one another. such as existed before the world war
 The permanent military commission of the League, which pronounced the Cecil plan as unlikely to afford the assurance of prompt and efficient help for a menaced member that would justify it in reducing it's ar mament. has been called upon to give it's opinion of the French plan.
 An earnest effort will be made to reach compromise between the two projects. but failing that, strong drive will be made in the assembly in September to reach decision as to the application of the blockade, under the covenant.

CALM AND AUSTERE zITA OF
 AUSTRIA FACES LEAN YEARS

former empress has been living all winter and most of the spring in an annex of the hotel San Sebastian. She was previously in delightful house in Iequeito. on the Bay Of Bis cay, which she was forced to leave because the owner did not care to continue letting it. Through the in- fluenee of the Spanish King he was pursuaded to sell it. and a group Of rich aristocrats purchased it for Her Majesty It is comfortable and sufficiently commodious villa. and has been thoroughly overhauled to make it habitable winter and summer.
 "The queen." continued Count Alp ponyi, Hives according to the sever est regime. She rises every morning at five-thirty, wears the plainest of clothes, avoids society, and devotes herself to her eight children. A deeply religious woman, she spends much time in prayer. and is supported by an almost exalted mood of faith and an almost fanatic sense of duty She is not discouraged dismay is absolutely foreign to her tempera ment. Sometimes she is even merry and laughs little, but she is very serious woman"

VIENNA, July 11.-Recent reports from Spain that Zita, former empress of Austria, and queen of Hungary, is facing immediate destitution, has prompted a denial from Count Albert Apponyi. her intimate counsellor. who has just returned from a visit to the ex-empress at San Sebastian. Zita, he says. has managed to get together sufficient funds to support very frugal standard of living for the next two years. during which time she will not relinquish any effort to recover at least portion of the private es- tates of the late Emperor Karl.
 "zita lives" explained Count Ap- ponyi. in the manner of lower middle class family. Her grand mother. the Archduchess Maria Ther- esq, lives with her, and they share a maid between them. For actual ser vice they have cook. chamber maid, and kitchen maid. Naturally, with eight children. there must be teachers for the older ones, and a nurse for the younger. The children cannot attend school because they do not kuow Spanish.

 The purpose of this mysterious door is to enable unfortunate mothers to place their offspring in safe keeping without revealing their identity or whatever secrets may have been con nected with their existence.
 Most of the foundlings. the asylum officials say, are put within the re volving door at night when there is little or no traffic on the street out side. With the turning of the door 6 hell rings. which announces to the attendants that new guest has ar.

The members of the Presi- dential party found this little town, known by the memorable days of 97 and '9S when hardy and adventure come men by the thousands came here bound for the Yukon and for tune, nestIng among glacier crown ed mountain peaks, quiet with only a few reminders of the days when it was one of the widest and gayest places in the whole wide world.
 Here it was that those who came under the spell of the Yukon out fitted for the toilsome climb over the summit of the White Pass and thence to brave the dangers of Miles Canyon, Whitehorse Rapids, Five Finger Rapids, Rink Rapids and orcr perils met by those seeking the yellow metal.
