Geneva, Aug. 31-Meetings in
preparation for the fourth general
assembly of the league of nations
which will be called to order on Mon

Geneva is already buzzing and
busting with excitement and activity
occasioned by the arrivals of the

league and the expected presence of
a number of American senators as
observers are favorite topics of dis
cussion by the delegates.
Foremost in all minds is the ques-
ton of what action will be taken on
the reparations question.

oring TO find the best possible means

of apparatus and it was deemed best
to return to the megaphone which
has been used for so many years.

were questioned as to their prefer
ence in the matter seemed unani-
nous for the megaphOne. both be
cause It was easier TO understand
and because they like the personal
