D'llllZIO LIDS Mi MT Volunteers Occupy Zara Italians Withdraw. as GANGSTERS ARE INDICTED BOYD, VALEXTO AND FITTS CHARGED WITH MURDER. GENEVA, Dec. 7. (By the Associa ted Tress.) War against typhus in the near' east occupied the attention of the league assemoly this morning to the exclusion of virtually ail else. The debate was widespread in its scope. the representatives of all climes and races taking part. Sir George K. Foster of the Cana dian delegation led the van with a ringing appeal to the world to stamp out the dread disease which is great ly spreading over Europe. Others who spoke represented India, China, Persia, Norway, Greece. Spain, France. Great Britain, Holland and Itoumania. A large part of the 250,000 pounds requested to set the campaign in mo tion was pledged and the committee which will be appointed to get the balance probably will succeed with, out much difficulty. This is regard ed as a triumph for the assembly over the council, which had twice appealed for these funds without success. Conditions Elwwhcre Diwaunl. Ignace Jan Paderewski of Poland pointed out the grave sanitary condi tions in Poland due to' the fact that more than 2,000,000 prisoners of war and refugees had passed through Poland since 1914 under conditions that made it impossible to prevent the outbreak of disease. l'rince Arfa-Kd-Dowleh. the Persian delegate, said it was no longer true that epidemics were brought west ward from Asia, but that typhus was invading Persia from the west. Dr. Wellington Koo of China, and Jamor, prince of Nowanuggun. India, were among the other orators in the pic turesque debate. Co-operation Ik DlncussrdL Plans for co-operation on technical organizations of the league of na tions by representatives of Armenia and former Russian states, though these states have not been admitted to full membership in the league, were discussed by the assembly of the league here today. The assembly also continued laying a working basis for the league which would enable it to function as effi ciently as possible, pending the time necessary to get a clear interpre tation of various matters and note the practical effects of the intricate system by which the assembly and council dovetail. The most enthusiastic supporters of the league now admit there are prob lems in the covenant which seem, for the moment at least, beyond solution, since it is impossible to tell how pres ent arrangements will work out. The general policy seems to be to let time work out a solution of some prob lems. Child Welfare Discussed. Work In the typhus campaign in Holland and plans looking to the wel fare of children in Europe were also discussed today. The assemoly also approved the de cision of the committee on relations between the assembly and the council for the elimination of the entire par agraph of its reports which provided I ?i .v.... v. wt.. , . . tn nic aaacmui; IIUU HO power tO take up questions wilhin the ex clusive jurisdiction of the council. Delegate liowell of Canada, who made the report, pointed out thai the elimination did not change the pres ent situation. The report, being nitre, ly interpretative, could not change the relations between the council and the assembly, he remarked, but was merely explanatory of the covenant.

The commission on eco nomics of the league of nations as sembly today unanimously decided that no member of the league shall be permitted to blockade an offend ing member without the consent of the council of the league of nations,-! Louis dui mat it may reject the decision of the council if it believes it to be unjust. This action came at the close of a three-hour debate at a public session of the commission which developed two definite divisions of opinion among the states. One group, led by Signor Schanzer of the Italian dele gation, took the view that it would be fatal if each power were permitted to commence a blockade whenever it considered its course right and with out a decision by the council. The other group, the spokesman of which was Hjalmar Branting of Sweden, who is chairman of the com mission on disarmament, blockades and mandates, opposed placing the decision in the hands of the council. "My country wm never yield to the council the right to decide when a blockade shall be instituted," Brant ing asserted. Lord Robert Cecil. renresentinE- South Africa, suggested a compro mise, permitting states to reject a decision by the council If the states thought the decision was not right. H. A. L. Fisher, also of the-British delegation, emphasized the necessity of setting up at once some sort of temporary machinery which could and probably would be altered at the next session. The report of the commission now goes to the league assembly. Poet-Soldier Insists That Regency of Quarnero Must Be Recognized Before He Will YJeld. ROME, Dec 7. Detachments of D'Annunzio's volunteers have been landed at Zara, on the Dalmatian coast, according to a report from An cona, published in the Idea Nazionale. The evacuation of Dalmatian terri tory by Italian troops has already been begun, the report adds. TRIESTE, Dec. 7. (By the Associ ated Press.) "The state of war" be tween the regency of Quarnero at Flume and Italy will not proceed, said an official statement by the headquarters of Gabrlele d'Annunzio today. It declared this decision had been reached because D'Annunzio had re ceived a note from the Italian minis try of war stating that General Ca- viglia's order, which brought about the poet'soldier's declaration of a state of war with Italy, was not an ultimatum. The special commission of Italian deputies which interviewed D'Annun zio in Fiume, left for Rome tonight. Some of the deputies said they had hopes that an agreement could be reached. To observers the reception by D'Annunzio to the visiting deputies did not seem at all friendly. In fact, coldness and unconcern appeared marked. Busy with his own affairs, he kept the delegation waiting seven hcurs before he took time to talk with it. During his talk with the deputies D'Annunzio said: ' "Today, after 15 months of mar tyrdom. I am treated as a traitor to the mother country, while my ob stinate resistance is a sacred national duty, as was the occupation of Fiume in September, 1919. Acknowledg ment of the regency of Quarnero is indispensable, but if It is impossible to obtain it I will resist. I swear on rr.y honor as a soldier and as an Ital ian that in that case whoever enters Fiume will do so over my blood stained corpse."
