League Council to
Invite U. S. Aid
(Go tinned From Pace One)
United States declaration because
It concerns only the nations dir
ectly interested.
The general feeling here has
been that the league would not
con nlder It possible to become
inrolved In the Monroe Doctrine
because it Is strictly an American i
affair. I
May Answer Today j
To satisfy Costa Rica's objec- j
Hons to Inclusion of the Mon
roe Doctrine in the league coven-'
ant, however, the matter was dis
cussed at a secret session today
and reached an agreement which
probably will be adopted a a
reply Saturday. It was under
stood the council will point out
that mentioning of the doctrine
In the covenant does not add ;
to or subtract from Us force
and attention will be called to
President Wilson's interpreta
tion as given San Salvador dur
ing the peace conference.
The council will plunge Into
the final work Siturday, pre
paring for the opening of the
general league assembly Monday
in one uf the most interesting
and important sessions of years
due to the fact that the rep
resentatives will assemble just
a week after the signing of the
Briand-Kellogg treaty In I'arfs.
Their action may have a de
cisive effect on the anti-war
pact.
Women at Mft
Three fashionably dressed wo
men who presented cards for ad
mission to the league council
meeting today caused an entirely , 1
foreign thrill to shoot through !
tbe chambers where dignity al
ways has been the first com
mandment. The women wore no stock-'
, lngs but they refused to heed
the usher's attempts to keep
them Irora the chamber. j
Immediately all eyes were
turned upon tbe stockfngless !
legs and eyebrows were lifted
here and there about the room. 1
The discussion of opium traffic
which had been heated until
that moment suddenly lost
much of its Intensity. ,
Later, the council members
were informed that the secret
ariat had issued orders forbid- i
ding women to come to the league
buildings barelegged, but that '
the heat had caused society ,
leaders at Geneva to adopt tbe
stocking-less mode. I
