LEAGUE OF NATIONS CAN'T MAKE PEACE
(Continued from Page 1.) .

(Continued from Page 1.) convoked the committee for Wed- nesdAy to discuss the possibility of an oil embargo against Italy.
 It was believed the committee Of 18 would merely appoint a commit tee of experts to study the embargo question.
 Ethiopia appealed to the League of Nations today for fresh economic sanctions against Italy.
 The appeal for fresh economic prohibitions" against the fascist state was made in note sent to the League of Nations by Ethiopia.
 It was considered to be request for the league to apply an oil em- bargo.
 Any effective outcome of today's meeting seems doubtful. Laval, the most persistent seeker after peace of the group, is faced with a domes- tic crisis which appears certain to cause the downfall of his cabinet this week. Therefore he can not make any new effort. Other mem- bers sec no possible basis for settle- ment at the present time.
 Red Cross Status
 Geneva, Jan. 20-(U.PO-Premier Benito Mussolini promised the In- ternational Red Cross to-day that Italy would do its utmost to avoid further bombing of Red Cross units.
 Mussolini sent a letter to the in- ternational body, suggesting that the Red Cross investigate alleged violations of the Red Cross conven- tions by both belligerents.
 Mussolini's letter was in response to an urgent appeal from the Red Cross. It was addressed to Max Hu- Der, president of the international committee of the Red Cross, who wrote to Mussolini on January q, expressing alarm at the bombing of Red Cross units at Dessye, Malka and Diaaka and adding that Na- tional Red Cross societies, such as the Swedish, earnestly ask that the Red Cross sign assure them the re- spect and protection provided by the convention"
 Mllssollni told Huber that 1t was always possible for Red Cross work CTS to be hit during battle. Nobody more than the Italian government deplores such eventual- ities," he wrote. "Tt will do it's ute most that this may not happen again"

a royal automobile which awaited them.
 After the meeting of the privy council at Sandringham house the following official statement was is- sued:
 His majesty the king, at Q coun- cil held at Sandringham this morn. ing, appointed councillors of state. Those 50 appointed are her majesty the queen, his royal highness the Prince of Wales, his royal highness the Duke of York, his royal highness the Duke of Gloucester and his roy- al highness the Duke of Kent.
 "There were present at the coun- Gil meeting the archbishop of Can- terbury, the lord chancellor, the lord president of the council, Lord Daw- son of Penn, Lord Wigram, and the home secretary.
 "Sir Maurice Hankey was in at. tendance as clerk of the council"
 Dominions Object
 It was understood some of the dominions, especially Canada, in- dicated their objections to inclusion on the council of state Of members of the united kingdom government, on the ground that under their new status, the dominions are respon- sible directly to the king-emperor, and rank on par with the home government in Britain.
 An unofficial but apparently in- spired explanation said non-mem- bers of the family were appointed to the council of state in 1928 be- cause the Prince of Wales and Duke of Gloucester were in Africa, but now that all the sons are home, 1t is not necessary.
 Macdonald, Lord Hailsham and Sir John Simon left after the privy council meeting and started back to London in the Prince of Wales air- plane.
 The Duchess of Kent, wife of the kings youngest son, arrived to join the other members of the royal fan- fly.
 The duchess arrived in the royal automobile from Wolferton Railway station only two minutes after the departure of the privy councillors.

Snyalidation as 1t affects domestic private and government bonds.
 The new case was brought by the Compania de Inversiones Inter- naoionales, a Colombian Corpora ton. which held bonds issued by the Industrial Mortgage Bank of Finland here in dollar values.
 The Colombian concern held bonds with a face value of $3,150. It sued to collect more than S5,000 new deal dollars on the basis of the smaller gold equivalent. The su- preme court held that the gold cdause. law applied to the certif- cates and only the face value could be collected.
 The bonds were countersigned at the Finnish legation. The proceeds were used to finance home construc- ton in Finland. The bonds were payable in New York and a sink ing fund to meet them maintained there. They were foated by New York bankers,
 The Colombian Company asserted in it's brief that huge amounts of Indebtedness of commercial and financial nature were extant and would be influenced by the courts decision.

 Berkshire Snow Drifts
 snow drifts in the Berkshire and Allegheny mountains reached great depths. Many highways were irn- uaesabie even to tractor driven blows, A wind that frequently fo41ched 60 miles an hour piled the dry and powdery snow 12 feet deep axi Massachusetts and New York.
 Movement of the storm to sea forced all but the largest vessels to eeek shelter. Passenger liners ar- rived coated with ice and snow and several hours behind schedule.

 Contractors Deny
 Officials of the company which dug the three-mile tunnel, the Rhinehart & DeAnnis O., of Char. lottesville, Va, issued statements denying silicosis was responsible for the deaths. They attributed the deaths to an epidemic of pneu- monia. They charged that the nlin- CTS c laiming to be i'll of silicosis are engaged in a racket" and that more than $400,0 already has been paid them. Autopsies have proven, according to testimony already giv- en the committee, that deaths of many who worked in the mine re- suited from silicosis, a disease known to and feared by miners for hundreds of years. Dust from silica slowly chokes up the lungs and eventually causes strangulation.
 Charges Backed
 Charges by the miners appears to be substantiated in Q confidential government report made 18 months ago by the federal emergency relief administration, but not made public until the congressional investigation began. The report said that sili- cosis, "a disease which destroys liv- ing tissues and ultimately causes suffocatoin" developed in Gauley Bridge and Vanetta soon after the tunnel was started in 1880. In 1894, when the report was made, the in- vestigators found 9l persons in Va- netta, an almost deserted village of fl tumble-down novels. All but ten of the 43 adult men in the village had silicosis, they found.

 Performs All Duties
 She found time to perform all of her duties, and with fear for her own husbands life in her heart she had been able to telegraph condol- ences to Rudyard Kipling's widow.
 All reports from inside the big house emphasized that, though the queen was desperately anxious, she was bearing up and, when on her guard, was the regal figure with ramrod straight back that is fanlil- far to most people. .
 When King George dies she will become the queen mother, and will remain the new kings official host- ess unless he has married mean- time.
 She will Carry On
 She is regarded as the strongest and healthiest among women oi royalty and members of the house. hold predicted that if the king died of his present illness she, with 2 consuming love for her children and grandchildren, accustomed to keep ing @ firm grip on her duties, would carry on as usual despite grief Tor the husband she married nearly 42 years ago.
 She has almost never been i'll and she does not show emotion. She has a German background that gives her ruggedness and reserve. She has assumed many of the kings duties as his health becape frail.
 Three years ago she was confineo to Buckingham Palace for 8 lew days with cold but did not stay m bed. That was the only real remem- bered illness that she suffered Sometimes she pleads cold in cam ceiling an engagement but frequent ly it is a diplomatic cold to get ner out of some tiresome function.
 Always By His Side
 when the king was so desperateiy i'll seven years ago she spent her nights for many weeks sitting beside him, because he did not like the fuss that accompanied the pres ence of nurses. .
 Last summer she shouldered a pie mart of the burdens incident to the ceIebration of the kings jubilee marking the 25th anniversary oi his succession to the throne.
 Her strength is inherent. and snt has preserved 1t by, a simple llie particularly by plain 1000. Sn. watches over every detail oE ncl households, and more than ali, ovel the king.
