jails these provisions of law are IN

In few States, like New York.
Indiana, Georgia, and Alabama, there

but in the ma jority of the States there
is no adequate supervision.
The United States Government has
about $500 prisoners boarded out in
county jails. but it has no control over
it's prisoners. The United States law
provides that prisoners kept in State
or county prisons shall receive the

discipline as those who are locally

BY HENRY w. BUM.
.HE following is a brief sum-
mary of the most important
news of the world for tho
seven days ended March 20:

Geneva.-On March s the assembly
and council of the League of Nations
met at Geneva for the express pur-
pose Of admitting Germany to the
league and to a permanent seat on
the council On March II these
bodies adjourned without having exc
cuted that purpose-Germany remains
outside the league.
Meantime, beside the shores of
Lake Leman d strange controversy
had ragged. Extreme anti.leaguers as
sert that the episode has completely
discredited the league; hardly may 1t
survive such an exhibition Of ineptt-
tude, Of inveterate nationalistic cross
purposes, Of incurable suspiciousness,
self1shness and pettineSS. Optimistic
league champions, on the other hand,
maintain that it justifles hope, rather
than despair, as to league prospects;
that it marks the crisis of the transi-
ton from the world of the wicked old
diplomacy to the new world to be
dominated by the spirit Of Locarno;
that the body polite Of the new Eu-
rope was during those 10 days purged
Of sundry, peccant humors; that the
Locarno powers are more nearly con-
sentaneous than ever before, various
doubts and misunderstanding having
been resolved; that certain vices and
defects in the constitution Of the
league were brought into vivid relief
so that the much to be desired reform
of the leagues constitution (which
otherwise might have been delayed in
definitely, with baneful results) is to
be undertaken Immediately. 'Tis only
a matter Of six months, they say, till
Germany will be admitted in sweet
err, cleaner atmosphere.
We do not know, and perhaps never
shall know precisely, how 1t came
about that, on the eve Of the Geneva
meeting for admission Of Germany to
the league Poland made public a de-
mand for a permanent council seat
along with Germany. There appears
to be no doubt, however. that BRAND
and Chamberlain were at least guilty
Of certain awkwardness Of be-
havior in that connection.
At any rate. Poland did make that
demand and thereby started some.
vored, why not others as we'll? So
Spain, Brazil and China demanded
permanent council seats. Germany
took the stand that for the council
to make her admission to that body
conditional on simultaneous admission
Of one or more other nations would
not be fair dealing. It Is clear that
BRAND and Chamberlain recognized
the German position, and it is equal
ly clear that BRAND was bound to
do everything short of repudiating his
obligations to Germany on behalf of
the Polish claim. His maneuvering
was exceedingly clever and resulted
Czechoslovakia handsomely co-operat-
ing) in the following compromise
agreement with Germany: Czecho-
slovakia should resign her non-perma-
nent seat in the council, Poland there
upon to be elected by the assembly
to take her place.
German amour propre would thus
be satisfied and German interests
safeguarded, as the constitution of
the council would not be changed
against Germany's entrance. ana
