The case of Persia ver sus soviet Russia, -the first bit of in ternational adjudication undertaken by the council of the league of na tions, was remanded) yesterday morn ing pending the result of the bolshe vik promise to cease aggression in Persia and withdraw the landing party operating in the neighborhood of Enzeli. The supporters of the league antici pated action by the council on the Persian appeal for intervention as the first practical test of its power to settle international disputes, but the council after two days secret deliber ation concluded that it was desirable in order to give every opportunity for success of the exchanges now going on between Teheran and Moscow to await the fulfillment of Moscow's de clared intentions before determining the manner of bringing the league's machinery into play. Many Prisoners In Russia Lord Curzon, British foreign efecre tary, bringing up the subject at the public meeting yesterday at St. James palace, said the council had tendered its sympathy to the Persian govern ment in the difficult position in which It had been placed and agreed that it had done right in opening discussion with the Russians. Sir Eric Drummond. regarding send ing .n investigating commission to Russia, announced that the council could do no more than note Moscow' refusal of May ze to receive such a commission. Reporting his investigation of the problems connected with the repatri ation of prisoners of war who had been unable to return home, espe cially those in captivity in Siberia, Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, special commis sioner in this work, estimated the prisoners in the territories of. the late Russian empire at approximately quarter of a million and the number of Russian and other prisoners still in Germany and other European countries at no less. Repatriation to Be Difficult. Apart from the political causes obstructing repatriation. Dr. Nansen said the collapse of the government and especially of the means of com munication in many territories where there are prisoners, the complete sev erance of communications between Russia and the rest of the world and the inability of some of the govern ments concerned to pay transportation costs have been the fundamental dif ficulties to overcome. "Before next winter," he added, Great Britain and the United States will have repatriated from Vladivos tok nearly all the Czecho-Slovaks and other legionaries in eastern Siberia, and I believe there remain only about 15,000 prisoners of other nationalities to be evacuated by this route. Re patriation is only possible with "Mos cow's co-operation and on a basis of exchange against Russians in Europe."

SEATTLE, Wash., June 17. (Spe cial.) Motion to dismiss suit for $3,220,000 brought by the Sloan Ship yards corporation against the United States Snipping Board Emergency Fleet corporation, as result of seizure of the Sloan yards December 1, 1917, was filed In the federal court early this afternoon by Robert C Saunders, United States district attorney, and the fleet corporation, represented by Attorney Howard G. Cosgrove. Dis missal is asked on the ground that the district court has no jurisdiction in the matter. Complaint was filed by the Sloan Shipyards corporation last February, in an effort to effect an adjustment of money alleged to be due the cor poration as a result of the yards be ing taken over after government shipbuilding work had been begun. The complaint alleges that the fleet corporation was wasteful, hired un necessary labor, prevented the- plain tiff from taking any part In manage ment, and forced the plaintiff to mortgage its yards at Olympia and Anacortes. The motion to dismiss states that the suit is in effect one against the government of the United States and not cognizable In the district court. It suggests that the court of claims might be a proper place for settle ment. It is understood that the stand of the fleet corporation will be that it has never been given oppor tunity to make a settlement with the Sloan corporation. - A date has not been fixed by the federal court for arguments on the motion.
