SPECIAL. ASSEMBLY
 MAY MAKE GERMANY
 aIEMBER OF LEAGUE

GENEVA, Nov 26.-A special as- sembly of the League of Nations is expected to be held at Geneva some time this winter to vote in Ger many as a member of the League. Easing their explanation on the as sumption that ~the German negotia- tions with the various powers will eventually succeed and that Ger many will one day actually forward her application for membership, league officials express the opinion that the Council of the League will probably arrange the special assem- bly,.
 It is believed that if the German negotiations have proceeded far enough and the German application is actually received in time, the Council will take some action at it's December meeting in Rome.
 A special assembly for Germany naturally cannot wait for the ar rival of delegates from distant cor ners of the earth. Hence it is planned that remote countries will designate their ambassadors or min- isters in Europe to represent them at Geneva on this special occasion. Moreover, it is probable that each country will send only one repre- sentative, instead of the three of ficial delegates who under the rules attend the annual assemblies of the league, together with their substi- ute delegates and numerous experts.
 AS Germany has been told by allied powers that her entrance into the League must be in accordance with the covenant, without special exceptions or privileges, it is of in terest to note that the question of admission is covered by Article of the Covenant. This says that any fully self-governing state, domin- ion or colony may become mem Der if it's admission is agreed to by two-thirds of the assembly, pro- vided that it shall give effective guarantees of it's sincere intention 10 observe it's international obliga- tions, and shall accept such regu lations as may be prescribed by the league in regard to. it's military, naval and air forces and ornaments. However, it is understood by every body, that Germany will be given a permanent seat on the council as being one of the great world pow CTS.

The Alaska Department is direct. ing the formation of a mining bureau, announcement of whicE was made recently. The Chamber reports that mining men have showr great interest in the proposed bureau.
 "A sufficient improvement has been noted in metal mining invest ments and development" the state ment of the Alaska DeparAnen declares.
