LEAGUE CIRCLES
HAIL PACT SIGNING
Kellogg Treaty Regarded as
Greatest Factor for Peace
in Decade.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, Switzerland, January 16.--
Ratification of the Kellogg pact has
caused immense satisfaction in League
of Nations circles
An official said today he considered
the pact the greatest single step in
the organization of peace since the
signature of the League covenant a
decade ago. He added that the world
had given no proper recognition to the
advance in the organization of peace
and expressed the belief that more has
actually been done in this domain than
in any other field of human interest.
Citing the League action in the Par
aguayan-B Bolivian dispute, officials said
this cooperation with the Pan-Ameri-
can Conference indicated how wide was
the field of future cooperation between
the League and the American republics,
including the United States, for the
maintenance of peace.
With the United States sponsor for
the Kellogg pact, the opinion was ex-
pressed that the United States, like the
League, was now definitely committed
to the outlaWry Of war and that hence
there is no reason why there cannot be
collaboration in the case of danger of
war on the United States own terms
and in manner best calculated to win
the approval of the American people.

MOTHERS HEART IS BROKEN BY
CONVICT POSING AS LOST SON
Don't Worry About
Auto License Tags

Persons who have failed to apply
for automobile license tags need not
worry about the penalty for another
two months, 1t was pointed out at the
office Of the state motor vehicle regis
trar today.
Until early this month the law pro-
vided that all applications for motor
vehicle licenses must be filed BY
March Is. Failure to do so made the
applicant liable to 4 penalty Of 10
cents day for the first Is days and
$2 q month thereafter.
A bill passed ut the recent lcgisla-
tive session and signed by the gov
ernor made numerous changes In the
licensing law. One change, which
was generally overlooked, made the
penalty date May is instead of
March Is. Since the bill carried an
emergency clause and became effec-
tive when 1t was signed by the gov
ernor. the penalty date was auto
matically moved back to May Is and
the penalty for delinquency In ap-
plying for license will not be as.
sessed until after that date.
