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 American Railway Express com.
I pany. is reported uncUr arrest in lone.
Washington, according to an an
nouncement at the company's office
here today.
Smith, formerly a money clerk in
the local office, disappeared October
11 simultaneously with the discovery
that an amount of liberty bonds
which were being sent from Wash
ington to southwestern ports had
been stolen.
Smith had no bonds when arrested,
the announcement added.
GENEVA, Dec. 7. (By the Associ
ated Press.) 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."
