CONVICT DEAD IN
 ESCAPE ATTEMPT

Lansing, Kan, Jan. 21.-(UP)- One convict was dead, two were wounded and five were in solitary confinement today after a bold at tempt to slip to freedom by hiding wooden dummies in their beds and throwing the state prison into dark ness. Led by Cecil Thornbrugh, 25-year old killer who was slain by a guard, the eight plotters reached the prison yard before they were Subdued.
 They had planned carefully, and had assembled the wooden dummies, knives and rope with an iron hook for climbing the wall. They were aided by a fog and had two confed- crates in the power house to cut off the lights at their signal.
 Their scheme went amiSs, how ever when Warden Kirk Prather ran to an auxiliary switch and restored the lights and guards began firing before they could reach the wall.

The reform movement, which started in the summer of 1886, was designed to bring the cove nant into line with existing political conditions. The leagues failure in the Italo-E Ethiopian war brought forward plans for some changes. Little progress was made to that end in 1887, however.
 The committee of 2S, which dealt with the reform problem, met during the September, 1887, assem- ply. Augustin Edwards fought hard for the cause of reform and insisted that non-members should be con- suited regarding the kind of league they would be willing to enter. His efforts, however, failed to overcome the inertia of most league mem- bers. The assembly merely au- thorized the council to consult non- members in regard to reform when ever it thought fit. Nevertheless, the departure of Italy seemed likely to stimulate the campaign to reform the covenant in 1938
 II. $. COOperated
 In the past, whenever the league encountered Setbacks in the politi- cal field, it sought to recover pres tige in the non-political domain, especially in the economic field. Here it had the cooperation of the United States, Japan and Brazil. But even in it's non-political work it encountered the hostility of Italy and Germany in 1887.
 When the League launched an inquiry into the raw material problem, Germany and Italy, the nations primarily concerned, re- fused to participate. Their atti- tude toward the League induced Britain and France to entrust to Premier Paul Van Zeeland of Bel gium an economic inquiry which normally would have been con- fided to the League.
 Despite all its difficulties, how ever, the League in 1887 did suc- ceed in accomplishing much useful work of a non-political nature. It continued to look after refugees in Europe and Asia It pursued it's campaign against the drug traffic It fought the traffic in women and children. Its health organization conducted anti epidemic work throughout the world, studied measures to improve the nutrition of the masses, and drafted recom- mendations for better housing conditions. The communications and transit organization dealt with such problems as road traffic signals, pollution of the sea by oil and a uniform system of maritime buoyage.
 Obsolete Articles May Go
 The involuntary, unwritten re- form of the League probably will continue this year and new at- temptS to alter the covenant by removing apparently obsolete arti- cles undoubtedly will be made. If the British plan for European re- construction were to succeed, the League most likely would be given a new character conSonant with tho new Europe. If, however, the disunity among great powers con- tinues, the League probably will continue to act as 8 consultative body. Nevertheless, as long as Articles 10 and 16 actually remain in the covenant, the League will constitute potential alliance which Britain and France will un- doubtedly seek to put in motion in an emergency
 The Leagues only political suc- cess ir 1887 was the settlement of the Alexandretta dispute which threatened at the end of 1886 to cause trouble between France, Turkey and Syria.
