U. S, PROTECTION IN LEAGUE PLAN URGED BY ROOT
Declares He Will Support League if Amendments Are Made to Present Draft. NEW YORK, March 31. Elihu Root declared himself last night an advocate of the league of nations covenant, made public by the peace conference, providing It is amended, primarily, by writing enforcement clauses Into the articles calling for arbitration and limitation of armaments, by restricting to five years the unanimous guaranty of the present political and territorial status of members, and by protecting from non-American interference the affairs of the American continents. He made his approval contingent also on amendments assuring periodic revision of international law and a general re-drafting of the covenant in an atmosphere removed by several years from the issues attendant upon the settlement of a world war. To dispell doubt as to the right of withdrawal from the league, he favored specific reservation of this privilege to any signatory, co-incident with or after the proposed 1 re-drafting conference. "Clear Duty" of U. S. If these changes could be made, the former secretary of state asserted, it would be "the clear duty" of the United States to enter into the league agreement, in keeping with what he termed the apparent general desire of the American public that the country "do its full share toward the establishment of an effective international organization to preserve the peace of the world." Mr. Root reviewed the league project and proposed his amendments, six in number, in a letter to Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee, which the latter gave, out for publication.

City
Will Collect Back Fees for Billboards
Several hundred dollars may go from the pockets of billboard and poster agents of Richmond into the city treasury as a result of the board of works action Monday morning. The board, acting on the advice of Byram Robbins, city attorney, decided to collect all billboard license fees, which have been unpaid for several years. License fee for one year for billboard exhibitors is $25, while an additional fee is charged for distributing advertising posters. There are at least two bill posting companies in Richmond, and the fee has never been collected since the passage of the ordinance several years ago. The city engineer was instructed to prepare a. "resolution for improvement of the alley between South Thirteenth street and Fourteen streets, from South A to South C streets. The board gave instructions for the thorough cleaning of the alley north of North J street, which has been neglected for some time. The board instructed the city engineer to buy pebbles for street oiling, and granted two garden permits. Arrangements for buying the city coal supply for next year were made through J. P. Dillon, superintendent of the light plant.

BOYS OVERSEAS NEED MAGAZINES-BURLESON
Have you forgotten your boys overseas, Mr. and Mrs. American reader? The postofflce department . wants to know. Before the armistice was signed the following appeared on many current magazines: NOTICE TO READER "When you have finished reading a magazine bearing this notice, place a 1-cent stamp on this notice, mail the magazine, and it will be placed in the hands of our soldiers, sailors or marines. No wrapping; no address. (Signed) "A. S. BURLESON, "Postmaster General. Publishers throughout the United States have been requested to continue this custom as there is a need for magazines for soldiers, sailors and marines which is not being adequately supplied. Rules for sending packages and parcels to men overseas have not been modified since the signing of the armistice, but such mail still must be accompanied by a request signed by the commanding officer of the addressee. This system serves to intensify the need for magazines which will reach the boys through help of the -postofflce system. Postmaster Beck says the residents of this community ceased mailing magazines almost as Boon as the armistice was signed. "It should be borne in mind that magazines should be of current or comparatively recent issue and devoted to literature or other articles of general interest. Old magazines or magazines of restricted interest are of no value and are not desired," says Third Assistant Postmaster General A. M. Dockery. Cambridge City Man Held For Drawing Weapons Reesie Carleton of Cambridge City was arrested this morning by Sheriff Carr, on a charge of drawing deadly weapons. He was placed in the county jail. It is probable that more serious charges will be made later, the sheriff said.
