VITAL QUESTION
PENDING BEFORE
LEAGUEASSEMBLY
Will Germany Late World
Belligerent Seek to Be
Admitted to Nation's
League
IF SO WHAT WILL BE
DELEGATES' ACTION?
UNDERSTOOD THAT ITALY WILL
SECOND NOMINATION OF KA1-
SERLAND FOR PLACE IN IN-
TERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Paris Nov. 17. The questions
whether Germany -will apply to ba
admitted to the league of nations at
the meeting of the assembly in Ge-
neva which commenced November
15 and whether if she applies she
will be ahrltted are belief uiscuiisej
by foreign office of the principal pow-
er. Germany's admission to the league
would change greatly her interna-
tional status and the delegates of
some European countries ato begin
nlng to take position. The foreign
offices of Holland and of Sweuen
are understood to have intimated to
members of the council o the league
thut tney would consider withdrawal
if the central powers were not ad-
mitted on the ground that 'the leuguu
would be Impossible without inein.
The unofficial replies from members 01
the council to these intimations were
that the delegates of either Sweuen
or Holland were free to propose tne
adra.ssion of the late enemy ma us.
Tne Italian delegates have deci-
ded In agreement with the.r foreign
office that Italy would second the nom-
ination of Germany should any otner
state -propose her. The French gov-
ernment is resolutely opposed to Ger-
many's admission. It will take two-
thirds vote of the assembly to admit
a new member. Consequently as there
ore 41 governments represented it
would require the vote of 2S for ad-
mission. It Is by no means certain that Ger-
many will ask to be admitted. The
German foreign office has been dis-
pleased with tho manner in which
the council of the league of nations
has administered the Soar coal re-
gion and also because Malmedy
and Eupen were transferred to Bel-
glum. Nevertheless an unofficial
agent of the German foreign ofllue
the president of the German league
of nations society has recently vis-
ited London and had unofficial con-
versions with permanent officiulb
of the league.
The Bulgarian government has an-
nounced tnat it will apply for ad-
mission. The Austrian and tho Hun-
garian governments have not Indi-
cated whether they will do so or not.
Thirteen other states have formally
applied for admlss.on. They are: Lux
embourg. Eslhon.a Ukrainian republic
Latvia Monaco Finland LichtenHten
Costa Rica hnn Man no Iceland Geor-
gia Armenia and Lithuan.a.
When the delegates to the peace
conference were making up the list
of states to be invited to become
members of tho league tho United
States government objected to invita
tions being sent to t'osta Rica San
Domingo and Mexico on the ground
that the governments of theso three
countries were not sufficiently stable
to be recognized. The objection oi
the Amer.can state department to
Costa Rica was that it did not recog-
nise the defacto Tlnoeo government.
United States . has since recognized
the Acosta government of Costa Rlru.)
Neither San Domingo nor Mexico have
upplled but Costa Rica has.
One of the most Interesting sub-
jects to come before tho assembly
will be that of tho permanent arm-
aments commission and tho resolu-
tion on that subject adopted by the
inference of ministers of stuto of
Norway Sweden and Denmark nt
Copenhagen In August last which
reads:
' "The conference has considered
the resolution of tho council of
the league of nations regarding
the eatabl.shment of the commis-
sion on the reduction of arma-
ments provided for by Article
IX of the covenant of the lea-
gue of nations.
"The conference has expressed
tho hope that the work of this
commission will be carried out
wtthiut dolay In spite of the dif-
ferences of opinion which may
arise regarding the principles ap-
plied In Its formation so that It
may soon bo possible ta deter-
mine tho bases of agreement with t
regard to an effective limitation
pf armaments without tfhieh peace
cannot bo secured."
Aother subject likely tj occupy n
gMtd dil of time Is the Jell'i.n; '
relation and respective competence
of the eounoll of the assembly of the
legIO.

mitted to members. They are of
course subject to formal adoption

by a majority vote.
The league Is one of tho few par-
liamentary bodies most whose decis-
ions will be taken only by ununimous

constitute a general committee
charged with executive and supervis-
ory duties.
French and English are the official
languuges and Interpreters will give
summaries in - other languages for
speakers.
Meetings are public except when
tho assembly decides otherwise.
Unanimity Is required for. decisions
except when tho covenant or treat-
ies specify otherwise and except for
matters of procedure for which a
majority suffices. Voting is by bal
lot white for "aye" and blue for
"no."
Work by committee Is spcclficallly
outlined. Every subject to be consid
ered by tho assembly must be consid-
ered and reported upon by a secondary
body before the assembly may act
finally.
The frequency with which the
leaguo shell meet has been left blank
for action at Geneva. Special as-
semblies shall be called at the re
quest of ten members.
"Representatives" in the title given
delegates to the league. Three of

It has been tho pleasure of many American bluejackets to make tho cruise. It has been their duty to navi-

Nanking meaning southern capltol is 20a miles from Shanghai. The city owes Its name to having been the
capital of the Empire the last occasion belrii? in the Ming dynasty at the beginning of the ISth century. Tho
city Is surrounded by greta walls varying from 40 to 90 feet In thickness. These walls are said to have been built
in the fifth and sixth centuries B. C.
Nanking is the home of the celebrated mausoleum of Emperor Hung Wu who died in 1398 with other great
monuments known as the Ming Tombs. ' There are many Interesting ruins in tho rcur of the city including
those of Hung Wu's Palace. The Ming Tombs are tho most Interesting In China and have probably been photo-
