MUSS0L!NPS STAND
B0THER|NG LEAGUE
Fear His Ambitions for Italy
lmperil World Peace

Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 8 Up
Uneasiness for the future concern
ing Mussolini's politics abroad, of
which the Italo-Albanian pact is re-
garded by many as disturbing in
dlcation; anxiety over the situation
in China and the position of the for
eigners there, and a probable agree
nlent with Germany concerning
modified supervision of German
ornaments were the three outstand :
ing features today on the intcrna-
tional stage in Geneva.
Officially, the seven foreign min
listers gathered here for the league
council sessions would say nothing
about Mussolini, but the correspon-
dent Is in a position to say that
secretly they are disturbed over the
possibility that the duce's patriotic
ambition for Italy's development
may imperil that world order which
the league seeks TO preserve.
This apprehension undoubtedly
rendered more vigorous the councils
action yesterday in approving all
possible means Of strengthening and
SPEEDING the operation of the league' S
machinery in moments of interna-
tional danger.
ltaly's Warning.
Signor Scialoia, Mussolini's repre-
sentative on the council. warned
that the league should not embark
on too definite an Interpretation of
the covenant, as fixed rules mitigat-
ed against desirable elasticity. NJ.
Titulesco, of Rumania, retorted that
If the covenants meaning was not
more clearly defined, the whole
peace purpose Of the league would
be shattered.
Concerning China, the foreign
ministers have apparently convinced
Chu Chao-Hsin that it would be
unwise for him, acting as represent
alive of either the Canton or Pc
king governments, to introduce into
the council the question of China s
recent abrogation of the Chino-B Bel
gian treaty, as it would only bring
the entire Chinese question before
the league at moment when it re-
quires most delicate handling.
German Situation.
Optimism continues to prevail
that the allied-German relations
will be maintained in the paths of
friendship and cooperation, with
probable decision by the conference
of ambassadors in Paris, at the be-
hest of the foreign ministers, to re-
lease Germany from inter-allied con-
troll of her amaments, once all the
treaty stipulations are fulfilled.
The jurists had practically reach
cd an accord today on the text of
an interpretative protocol which
clarifies and modifies the leagues
plan for investigation of German
ornaments. which plan is expected
to replace inter-allied control, prob
ably early next year.

Michel looked at Steele. "She say
no Windigo bin here. Why did Pierre

Queer for him to bring that tale to

"Pierre, who left you to trade at
Ogoke last spring." continued Michel.
HAS he camped here this summer?"

Of His Men.
Steele struggled to keep at the heels
of his men. But gradually the noise
Of the pursuit drew away from the
white man, no match for those who,
from childhood, had travelled the for
ests at night.
In an hour two grimy, battered
half-breeds, bleeding from contact
with the timber, appeared on the
beach

"We nevaire see heem," muttered

with David, giving up my time to help

you don't trust me. Why don't you

Michel Strengthened and going to
the small fire David had built on the
: beach, calmly examined his tattered
shirt and trousers, as he dried out.
"You are good man, M'sleu Steele.

That was all, and Steele understood.

himself to secrecy. But why had he
