The league of nations assembly today decided to stick to a slow and sure policy In amending the covenant and to extend that policy with regard to their respective duties ond Jurisdictions. The Canadian amendment eliminat ing Article X and the Argentine amendment declaring that all sov ereign states shall De members of the league that do not remain outside of their own choice were referred to a epecial committee, which will study all the proposed changes in, the cov enant and report to the. next'as eembly.

Change Held Xeeessary. The first of these, which sets forth that the council and the assembly each should be invested with particu lar power and duties and that neither should have authority to render de cisions in any matter which had bee"n expressly committed to the other, l.ord Robert Cecil declared, must be amended bo as to concede to the as sembly the right to examine any question within the jurisdiction of the league. He contended that on the principle as expressed the assembly would be unable to treat with the Important questions of disarmaments and mandates and added that his South African delegation would not accept the report otherwise. His amendment was accepted. Proposition. Is Accepted. The committee also accepted the proposition to eliminate the word "exclusive" from the second principle which declares that the assembly has no power to reverse or modify a de cision which falls within the exclu sive competence of the council. On the objection of the Canadians, how ever, this principle was reserved. The third and fourth principles set ting forth the status of representa tives sitting on the council and the assembly and making provision for a report from the council to the as eembly were adopted. The Argentina incident, involving the withdrawal of that delegation from the assembly, was disposed of quickly, the assembly showing indif ference. Instead of inviting the dele gates back, the assembly merely ex pressed regret at their action through M. Hymans, chairman, and Lord Rob ert Cecil. The only sign of. feeling by the members was that of approval when Lord Robert said that no dele trate body could get on with Its busi ness if the members were allowed to leave whenever their particular propositions were not accepted.

His EPISCOPAL SUIT STANDS Judge Overrules Demurrer to Re move Action From Calendar. Overruling of a demurrer yester day by Circuit Judge McCourt in the case of the Episcopal board of school trustees against Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of Trinity church, prevented Its being removed, from the calendar and the suit will probably go to trial early next year.
