Leagues Admission
Of Germany Cost
The Detection of Spain

Geneva. Sept. 2s-lP)-The two
principal achievements Of the
seventh assembly OF the League Of
Nations, which adjourned with the
close Of the week, were the admission
Of Germany and the reorganization
Of the League Council from ten to
IL in membership.
Although the advent Of Germany
was welcomed as officially ending the
aninosities Of the great war and
bringing Germany within the scope
Of the league obligations and respon-
sibilities. that advent cost the
league the collaboration Of Spain,
who resigned because she was I'M
able to get a permanent seat in the
council at the same time as Germany.
China, elected to the council to re-
present Asia, created a sensation in
the closing day by charging Great
league, with an unjustifiable bonn
bardment of Chinese town in which
several thousand persons were killed.
The chinese spokesman declared
peace would never come to China nor
would foreigners ever be safe there
unit the powers scrapped the old
treaties with China and substituted
new ones based on genuine recipro-
city and equality.
The assembly adopted a conven-
ton, which is calculated to abolish
slavery in all forms wherever found.
The delegates sitting independently
in a world court conference drafted
a reply to Washington concerning
American reservations on the pro-
posed American membership in the
court.
The assembly decided to convene
an international disarmament confer
ence before next September and to
summon an international economic
conference during 1927. The assem-
bly, also urged the council to promote
treaties Of arbitration as the best
means of encouraging disarmament.
Plans were adopted by the assem-
bly, to develop the Leagues activity
in the suppression Of the white slave
traffic, the promotion Of child well
fare, and the protection of Balkan
refugees. and the establishment of
an Armenian National home.

for the rules which are soon to take
effect remove this privilege from
them.
The first part Of the evening was
given over to the business of becom-
ing generally acquainted with one
another by means of cards which
were passed around to be signed.
Later when the freshmen learn to
know upperclassmen better they
will find on these cards the auto
graphs of many Of their firm friends.

Yesterday Was
Go to Church" Day
At Colby College

yesterday marked the annual Ego
10 church" movement Of Colby Col
lege. Headed by members of the
faculty a parade comprising the
student body Of the college was
formed at the campus shortly after
~ O'Clock, with delegations of va
rious denominations in the line Of
march. At Foss Hall, the women's
dormitory, the co-eds swung into
line and the procession marching
TWO by two proceeded through Col
!ege avenue, and circled through
Main. Silver and Elm streets, after
which the delegations attended their
respective churches. This demon
stration was a simple but effective
reinsurance to the city that the
students Of the college were backing
the local churches ready to show
themselves sympathetic with the re-
Hgious ideals for which Colby has
always stood firm. Such a demon
stration not only caused much ia
vorable comment among the citi-
zens of Waterville but also created
interest to many spectators along
the line Of march.

Crowd Will Gather
To See Loser Pay
Dempsey-Tunney Bet

A good deal of conjecture is current
about town as to whether the we'll
gentleman from the North End who
lost a wager last Thursday night on
the mpsey-Tunney fight, the condi-
tons Of which were that the loser
would push a peanut with his nose
from Ed Halls store to the College
avenue pharmacy, will carry out the
terms of the bet according to schedule.
Half past five this afternoon is the
time set for this unique feat and there
are those who are willing to stake
money on the gentlemans sporting
spirit. No doubt there will be a
gathering present to witness the fun
if the fight fan runs true to agree
ment.

1t is hard to understand the

says the school will benefit 177,-

were overlooked. Our people will
be no nearer a school at Billings
than a school at Dillon.
The entire northern half of the

IMPORTED PESTS

The Plant Quarantine Act of
1912 gave us authority for the
first time to establish national
defense against entry of plant
pests. 1T took four years of eff
fort to get this legislation on
account of opposition of plant
importers. During these four
years the following pests gained
entry and adjustment: Oriental
fruit worm, Japanese beetle. cit
rus canker, potato wart, Euro
pean corr borer. camphor scale
gypsy moth in New Jersey, 1910.
These are all major pests, pro
badly the worst of their kind in
this country. and the list is some
ind cstion of the rae Of entry
prior to the enforcement of the
Plant Quarantine Act.
