AFTER HE COLONIES Swedes Aganist Scrapping of League for I). S. to Form New Body t BY SEWTOS C PARKE STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE ' GENEVA. Nov. 20. The great controversy over whether Lord Hobert Cecil, representative of South Africa in the league ot nations assembly meetingwould move the admission of Gertnax.y Into the leag-ue wis definitely nettled today fey Lord Robert Cecil himself who declared that he does not intend to talte auch action. I favor a policy of conciliation toward Germany, buflt Is too late to ynove Germany's admission at the present session," said Lord Robert. "There is no reason that Germany should receive special favors ovflrr any other nations thit are now outside the league.' The speech of George Nlcholi Barnes, at the British delegation, who said jthat labor seeks the Immediate admission cf Germany to the legaue has created profound impression. The admission of Germany is supported also by Argentine. Dr. Fueyr-re-don, the foreign minister of Argentina, said that his speech before the tseaibly la favor of the admission of the former enemies of the allies leaves no doubt as to the attitude of Argentine." The most sensational Incident of the meeting so far was the protest of Germany against the retention of the mandates for the former German colonies by the iater-allled supreme council and Germany's threat to break the treaty of Versailles. In some quarters this is regarded as the opening cf a campaign by Germany to attempt to retrieve at least part of her farmer colonial possessions. Dr. Halmar Brantlng. of the Swedish delegation, protests against the scrapping of the present league ia order to allow the U. S. to create s new association of powers. . 'We cannot throw away everything v. have done simply because it does not please a large element cf the U. P.," said Dr. Brantlng. "But it is a big step. There is much in the covenant which is 'ood. I am confident that the present session or the league will further democratize the covenant, showing the TJ. S. that the best thing for her to do is to enter and assist in further revisions of the future of world peace. American critics who say that the league Is worthless only succeed in being abuE.ve."

BUSINESS ARTICLES ARE PRAISED Protest Voiced By Union Man Regarding Ban Put on Department Store Shopping in Hammond. To such an extent has the series or articles oa local conditions running in theee columns this week seized upon the popular Interest In Hammond and so widely discussed In business and labor circles that a demand has been made for their continuance by civic ! bodies who feel that iey touch upon matters that are vital "to the Interests and welfare of Hammond. The last few articles with Interviews dealing with the picketing and boycott instituted againt the three department stores have aroused public opinion to an unprecedented degree and it is pointed out that many people were actually unaware of the existing situation which was f.rst denominated a strike but later developed the fact that fully 70 per cent of the clerks who walked out months ago have lcn,j been back at work. OUTSIDE CITIES BEJf EFITTIG. Psople are taking significant interest in news of the boycott and are not slow to comment on the injustice of It. Sympathy seems to be pretty general with the merchants involved. It is a wcU-cstablished fact now that the boycott is hurting ths business community and driving trade to Chicago and outside towns such as Gary, East Chicago and Whiting. " These cities have not been slow to take advantago of the situation and are luring shoppers with attractive bargains to their stores. As one single-line merchant who for obvious reasons was reticent regarding the use of his name said, "This local boycott will hurt business in general In the long run and the idea of such a boycott is wrong." , tHinofc DISCRIMINATION. There are alarge number of people in Hammond who believe that the department store merchants are being unjustly discriminated against and will join in a protest. The situation does not meet even with the approval of all union men. One well-known union man eaid that he regretted that neither he nor his family were permitted to trade In their own stores where they had been customers and friends for years. He continued, "members 0! our family cannot avail themselves of the bargains offered in the department stores. Things that we wftnt to get in these stores that we need we are not permitted to buy under penalty and I don't think that is Just. I don't think it is fair to men with families to force them to go outside of the city for certain things." STARTED BV OUTSIDER. "The way I look at it," said one Hammond lady, "is this. It Is vital to the business of these department stores that the men who own them should be the ones to say how they shall operate them, whom they shall hire and whom they shall keep ia their employment." It seems to be the general impression that all the agitation and trouble which lead to the picketing and boycott was started by an agitator who is totally an outsider in Hammond anl who lias carried on his campaign m other cities and more often failed ia his mission thaa was successful. COLORED BOY IS MISSING Luther is just a slx-ycar-o!d colored boy living in a Gary neighborhood where there arc so many little colored boys that It would seem that one little colored boy wouldn't be missed. Funny thing about little boys. No matter how many of them there are it's Just the righ tnumber and people can't afford to lose even one. That's probably the reason that all the colored men and women and boys and girls within three Mocks of 2605 Filmore street ask each other several times day -whether they have seen Luther. Luther was playing in front of his home at 2603 Filmore street. Thursday afternoon. He was dressed in overalls, sweater, gray cap and tan shoes. Ho hasn't been seen since and Jerry Wilson his father and Nina Wilson, his mother, haven't slept since. They've looked everywhere for Luther. The police are also looklg. If you see a colored boy that looks lost and everything notify the Gary police. JUDGE HEEDS HUBBY'S PLEA Rosa Brown, colored, and Sam Nelson, white, were on trial before City, Judge Dunn of tmry this morning on a serious charge. The court heard the evidence and found the couple guilty. He was about to name the sentence when a negro In the rear of the room stood up. "Youh honah," the spectator bt-gan. "I'se the lady's husband. Vouii honah. Rosa's a good woman., Sli.ain't nevah done nothin' like this befoah. She just didn't realize what she was doin'. youh honah." , Judge Dunn suspended sentence.

Diplomatic relations have been renewed between the Vatican and the little Principality of Monaco after an interruption of eight years and .M.

Vatican circles regard the resumption of diplomatic relations with the principality of Monaco as a development of great importance despite the fact that the principality consists or only eight square miles of territory containing the casino, some luxurious hotels, a park and the prince's palace. Pope Benedict XV has long Deen anxious to do away with gambling at Monte Carlo, but he could not approach the prince of Monaco directly so long as relations between the Vatican and the principality we broken. The pontiff holds that the gambling at Monte Carlo is a source of immorality to both men and women and an appalling waste of money and human life.

Even among officials close to the Vatican no hope is held out that the gnat gambling resort will be closed. The original trouble bet veer, the Vatican and th"s principality of Monaco sse during tas life of Pope Plus N.

It was organized at a meeting held Thursday evening at the" Lyndora hotel.

Frank Martin, the real estate operator, who acted as agent for the government la disposing' of the houses, acted as temporary chairman of the meeting and reported the project practically sold out. The following temporary offices v. ere elected: President George Provaacha. Secretary E. E. Rogers. Treasurer John Nolan. It w as decided to hold another meeting at the same place next Friday evening when the constitution and bylaws will be adopted and permanent officers will be elected. The Lyndora people plan to make their part of the city the beauty spot of Hammond. The present drab exterior decorations will be brightened up with new paint and a scheme of landscape gardening will be followed out by the community. One of the first subjects brought up at Thursday's meeting was improvement of the street car service. Although they are comparatively near the business district, they have no direct street car line down town and it is necessary to travel south on Columbia avenue, west oa Conkey avenue and north on Hohman street, a trip whicli generally requires about half an hour. The subject of establishing bus lines, which will operate between the subdivision and the business districts of Hammond and East Chicago is also being considered seriously.
