Rolin Lynde Hart, writing in the Worlds Work. has this to say on the migration of the Negro north; His children put on shoes. Instead of going to school three months in the year, they go nine months, and to q much better school. Besides. there is 'freedom'--a wretched enough sub stitute for actual freedom. but never theless exhilarating. . Now they think principally of their less fortu- nate brethren. To bring them north to teach them. to eivilize and uplift them, is their ambition

Germany, Russia ard other nOn.members
of the League, has been invited to parti-
cipate in the conference, the programme
of which will be prepared under the di-
rectiCn of the Council Of the League.
The long awaited protocol draft was pre-
Sented today officially to the commission
disarmament by the big TWelva'. COM
posing the sub committee, and speeches
we're made by Dr.. EdOuard BeneS, MIR.
Arthur Henderson, SignOr Schanzer Of
Italy, NJ. DoncOurt and NJ. PouIet of Bel
GUM. The sub committee labOurcd on
the text until the very last minute, mOdj-
flying clauses and introducing new ones,
so that the delegates had three distinct
documents before them. When they fin
ally compared the various clauses and
amendments, they discovered that the
committees draft did not diffee in any
great essential from the original Benes
draft for the outIaWTy OF war. The new
draft was presented under impressive
circumstances, all the delegates sitting
silently in their places and looking raj aer
solemn, as it they were subc0nsciOuSIy
aware of taking part in a historic meet
ing, destined perhaps to direct the world
definitely into the paths of peace. The
protocol provides a plan of arbitration for
disputes OF whatever nature, it also pro-
vides securities for countries like France
and Belgium, by authorizing regional ac-
cords, ~stipulaLiHg that they must be open
covenants, and quite definitely arraOges
for a conference for the reduction OF
ornaments. A clause which it regards
as exceedingly important. is the one de-
claring that the conference itself will Law
down the conditions under which the
Council of the League may later proclaim
that the reduction p.oject voted by the
conference has not been executed and
that consequently the protocol of an BIZ
tratiOn and securi Y ceases to exist. Per-
haps the protocol is spec ally designed to
strengthen he covenant OF the League
The preamble emphasizes that its object
is to facilitate the application Of the sys-
tenn provided in the covenant for the
peaceful solution of differences arising
between members of the international
community. 1t atIirms the desire OF the
nations to attain the reduction and limit
alton OF ornaments as called fOI in arti-
Gle eight OF the covenant. The arbitra-
ton proceedings stipulated by article Is
of the covenant are defined and extended
and a system Is set up Nhel eby all posi-
BILE differences between nations must be
submitted to arbitral bodies, even when
the Council Of the League IS unable to
reach a unanimous decision. In the
course of a striking address Mr.. Arthur

KILOGRAMS.
ST. CROIX STATION

Berlin, Sept. 22nd. Lord D'AbernOn
the British Ambassador. tonight had a
long conversation win F)raig0 Minister
Stres4man, during which he outlined the
British Governments view with regard
to Germany's admission to the League OF
Nations. The Ambassador made 1t clear
to Dr.. Stresemann that Great Britain
could not give any guarantees regardlng
the conditions Germany might make as the
price for entry, in fact he could NOT give
any advice. as it was a mltter cDncsru-
ing other nations besides Great Britain.
DR.. Sfrestmann will report the olJ-
come OF the conversation at tOm)rrO vs.
cabinet meeting. Chancellor Marx and
Dr. StreSemann returned to i:erlIn late
this afternoon and Immediately went lHto
conference regariing the program ne to"
tOmOrrOW's extraordinary session under
the direction of President Ebert, when
Germany's application for admission to
the League Of Nations will come up for
decision. In Off :ial circles it is said that
sOundings have been carried on by the
German Government through neutral ana
entente capi ais and have brought about
the despatch Of a fOrmll reply which wilt
be conveyed to the Foreign Minister by
LORD D'A OernJn, the British AmbaSSa.
COR. Germany is reported to have re-
quested specific information on the ques-
Jion of whether il will be accorded a per
maHent seat on The Council Of the League
in addition the Government is said to have
enQuired as to whether paragraphs 10
and II Of tn Covenant apply to Germany
in the event that that country enter 10 0
the League. On the later point the Gov
eminent, it IS believed, will request that
these two paragraphs be waved, owing
to the geographical location of Germany
and the fact that its exposed frontiers
are are liable to ObIigate it to permit the
transit of troops through German terri
tory, 10 violation Of any neutrality pacts
to when it is a party. The ql3sllOn OF
restoring the Ger nan colonies also IS
likely to. constitute a poiat on which Ger
many will request precise Information
before formal application for admission
is made.

HORSE MARKET
Boston, Dec. 23.-The horse trade
was very dull With little change in
market conditions. There was only
a small amount of horses offered.
most of which were cheap seconds.
In addition We're perhaps a couple
Of carloads of fresh western horses,
but there were no special sales dur
ing the week. Few wholesale, deal
ers were on hand and the bulk of
the horses were sold off at auction,
with prices low. Dealers are not
looking for much business until af-
ter New Years, when there will be
some special sales where large num-
bers of horses will be offered Of all
types. good many of which have
already been consigned. Most of the
trading came from local firms re-
placing used up horses. A few Of
the dealers offered some ponies for
the Christmas trade hut interest was
but lukewarm.
