Ny The Associated Prets.
 Geneva. Sept. 20.--China made the first official effort to recover her lost seat on the council of the league of nations today when the league assembly reconvened after weeks suspension.
 Peking's delegation Introduced a resolution calling the attention Of the assembly to the resolution of l92y stating that 1t is desirable to select six permanent members of the council, bearing in mind the worlds main geographical divisions the various types of civilization and the chief sources of wealth. The new resolution was referred to the agenda committee.
 Today's Chinese move created in- terest because, 1t Is understood the delegation has received instructions to withdraw from the league if China is not successful in regain ing the council seat which went to Ezechoslovakia last year.
 Discussion of the Jurists' report in Interpretation of the league cove inant. an outgrowth of Corfu affair between Italy and Greece, was shelyed until next year.
 The assembly passed resolution looking toward eventual adoption of an international convention by all nations, co-ordinating their efforts the legal assistance to the poor. This is subject in which the Amer ican legal aid society and com mittee Of the American Bar Asso- citation are interested.

RIGHT TO SAFETY
 IS LEAGUE IDEA
BFiand in Article, Says This
 Is Essential Policy =

Paris, Sept. 20.--"The right to safety--such Is the first principle of the declaration of the rights of peo- ples which the fifth assembly of the league of nations now is eiaborating writes former Premier Briand in an article for special league number published by L'Ere Nouvelle.
 Tt is as vital as the right to bread, as the right to work, as the right to education. It can only be assured by cooperation of the powers In e vast organization of mutual aid, attempt ed many times during the nineteenth century but of which the pact pre- liminary to the treaty of Versailles is up to the present the most perfect charter"
 M. Briand declares he always be- Heved in such an organization and always sought to promote it when- ever the occasion offered. In conclu- sion he writes:
 T never considered that the right of security belonged only to the European peoples: it interests in the same degree the pacifics. l went to Washington; l adhered on behalf of France to the pacific agreements pursuing on the other side of the Atlantic, the same object-to find for each continent pacific combina- tions which, joined together, and or- ganized among themselves, would give the league a richer and more forceful life.
 "America's absence at Geneva Is source of weakness for the league. Let us hope that, little by little, the obstacles which now stand in the way of her adhesion will disappear. /"

WHY PARIS IS DIFFERENT These the Styles Distinctive Because They Are
 Little Too Radical Ever to Become Widely Popular
By M. THEREsE BONNET
 NEA Service Writsv

Paris. Sept. 16.-what buyers for leading American houses buy in Paris and advertise as ''direct from Paris" and what your neighbor. the tourist. brings home as the 'dernier cri" in no way represent the real Parisian creations.
 It is the just different" thing which the buyer shuns because it might prove @ white elephant, or which your neighbor hasn't the courage to wear at the bridge club, which makes Paris the inspiration of the world when 1t comes to fash- ions.
 It is the scarf-sleevs. the clsverly conceived scarf which terIHlnates in finely embroidered cuffs. which make 1t less difficult to handle and which makes a sleeveless frock more wear. able.
 It is the embroidered bouquet which replaces the flesh flowers so dear to the heart of the American woman and which affords an excel lent example of the thrift of tho French.
 Paris is Paris for all of these.

FIGHTING IS NEAR
 CITY OF SHANGHAI
Foreign Troops and Volunteers in Readiness

Shanghai. Sept, 2o.-Spurred on in anticipation of victory, the in- vading Kiangsu army continued to- day to pound its batteries against the thin defense line of the Chekiang forces. The firing was brought so close to the city that foreign troops and volunteers prepared to prevent any encroachment upon or injury to their nationals. !,
 Lu Yung- -Hsiang, Tuchun of Che- kiang province, commander in chief of the retreating forces. refused to- day to'lend an ear to foreign ad- visors who suggested that he with draw from Shanghai and give up the city to the armies representing the Wu Pei-Fu Picking forces and the central government.
 General Lus attitude, if reflected in the. actions Of his field forces, would result in battle for the pos session of Shanghai, which would be fought until his last soldier was killed or injured. It was this situa- ton that made fighting in the sub- urbs and streets of Shanghai likely at any times, in view of the ap- parent advances of the invading armies.
 Residents of Shanghai were awakened at. o'clock this morning by resumption of the Kiangsu artillery bombardment between the Shanghai-Nanking railway line and Kiating west of here. The Chek- fang forces. returned the fire, which lasted two hours. Sporadic firing continued until noon in the vicin- ity of Rating where the Kiangsu casualties were said to be heavy.
 The Chekiang defenders made their principal stand today at Man. slang, a point to which they were forced back yesterday after heavy attack by the Kiangsu forces.
 Defeat of his ally General Lu Yung- -Hsiang and the Shanghai front had not retarded the activi- ties of General Chang Tso-Lin, Man. churian war lord, who continued to pelt towns along the Chihlian-Man- churian border from the air. His army in the field at Jehol reported to General Chang yesterday that it drove the Picking forces back there. General Chang also claimed victor ies in the fighting yesterday be- tween Chinchow. Manchuria, and Chaoyang, Chihli province, accord ing to Mukden reports received here.

 Case Before Lea gup

Sofia, Sept. 2o.--"We are going to Geneva in hope of finding an opportunity to put our case before the league of nations" declared Foreign Minister Kaloff, head of the Bulgarian delegation to the sffth assembly before leaving for Geneva.
 Bulgaria, at a tremendous sac r'ffce, is performing all her promis- es to both the great and little pow CTS. In return the great powers made few promises to us, such as an outlet to the, Aegean and the protection of minorities. which have not been filled, and our national life Is suffering from the non perform apce thereof. We await the action of the league" E
