Paris, Sept. 12th.— Arrargements of details for a setilement of the Italian- Greco conflict is pruving labor.ous. The Council of Ambassadors heid two siftings tcday, but without arriving at a final areement. The instruciions of Premier N ussolini, received in reply to reports o vesterday’s procecds of the ecouncil sent to him by Beron Avezzano, the Ital- ien Ambassador., apparently were un- s:.tis factory to all the ambassadors.

Mexicali, Lower Calif., Sept. 12th.— Wireless messages received here late to- day rep:rt the destruction by a tidal wave of San Jose Del Cabo, a small fish- ingtown on the West ¢oast of Lower Cal- ifornia, just above Cape San Lucas. The number of lives lost is not known. Most of the 500 inbhezbitants of the town are believed to have escaped to higher ground when the tidal wave swept over the place yesterday, according to radio advices sent out Ly a steamer which cleared Cave Lucas shortly before the catastrophe. 3Steamers carrying mer- enandise to Guaymas, which had cleared *" 3 eape in time to escape destruccion or «=nage in the wave, have been ordered s Y (01% 32 NI to return to San Jose Del Caby for relief work, the meassaves state. One of t?e vessels. it is said, carried 30) labourers for the cotton fields near here. Geneva, Sept. 12cth. —Serfdom exisis in Ethi via (Abyssinig), but slavery is un- der ttie ban of tfe lav., the delegation from the African Empire nas inforimed the League of Nations. Ethiopia’s appii- cation for admission to the League is said to be in danger of rejection, because of allegations that slavery on-a large secale prevails within her domain. The dele- gation declared to the fLeague that the slave trade wa: forbidden and wade pun- ishable by de *h. What did exist, it said, was a form f serfdom, similar to that existing in tany Eurcopean countries before the intreduciion of the wage sys- tem. The serfs could not be bought nor sold and conld appeal to the courts if ill- treatcd. The assembly tlis morning.re- sumed its discussion of Austrian recon- struction., Lord Robert Ceeil, who re- ceived an extraordinary ovation lasting several minutes, delivered an address of felicitation over the results obtained by the League in the earrying out of its Aus- trian rehabilitation plan. Geneva, Sept. 12+h.-A heavy discussion over the covenant of the League of Na- tions, which M. H. Jaimzar Branting, of Sweden, charged had shown itself to be fragile in practice, gave the Geneva de- liberations again a dramatic ton» today. The sub-Commission was conside ing the proposed pact for mutual assistance, which was provisionally arranged at Na- ris as a compromise of the British and I ench conceptions of the project, when M. Branting arvose and said the treaty appeared to be all guarartees and no dis- armament, and more coercive than con- ciliatory. After all, he dielared, the covenant «f the League bhad in praetice proved inc fieetive. He questioned whe- ther it was wise to adopt the most string- ent weasures provided in the new treaty, when they could not entorce things al- ready existent. This ailusion to the Greeco-Italian ecrisis brought Lord Rob- ert Cecil to his feet with the vigorous as- sertion that there was 20 question that the League had rot lived up to its du- ties. He argued ttat the League could not be conciliatory and coercive at the same time and that there vwas no justi- fication for any charge that the League had failed. Information received at Ge- neva that Prewmier Mussolini might not withdraw his troops trom Corfu until tie assassins of the ruembers of the italian Boundary Comimission were convicted and executed, is regarded as increasing the chances that the Assembly will soon insist upon a discussion of the League competercy. Lord Rooert Cecil closed his speech this afterncon with the remark that the small nations must be ready to mwake sacrifices. M. Lange, of Norway, retorted that the small nations must have guarantees from the bigger powecers whose foreign policy could be based no- tably on iivirg up to the articles of the covenant, which required that all treatics should be published and registered, and by agreeing to compulsory jurisdie- tion for the conrt of international justice. The commission adopted the preamble and first article of the proposed guarantee pact. As in the meeting of the subeom- mission, so in todays session of the as- sembly, disappointment was expressed by one of the lass »owerful states that the council of the League of Nations had failed o adopt more aggressive action in the Greco-Italian controversy. It wasa Persian Prince, Arra Ved-Dowleh who voiced an appeal that the powerful na- tions of I[Surope have complete faithin the I.eague, abide by tke covenant and strengthen its might as a weapon of peace. In.conelusion, the pritee argued that if the [eague was to survive, meth- od must change and great powers must give anexample of respect for tle Leavus by finding in it theiy own security and by submitting all matters to arbitration. Berlin, Sept 12th. —Chancellor Strosse- mann in an address today declared. ""We are ready to give real guarantees inorder to secure the freedom of the Ruhr’’. He admitted that a solution of the problem couid not b 2 obtained by passive resist- ance, The Chanocellor, after reviewirg the economis pogition, turned to foreign guestions, He said that openness was better than iilusion and ihkerefore he wished openly to say that without a solu- tion of the toreign political dispute, the financial situation could not be settled and the collapse of the gnark could not be restrained. Evacuation of the Ruhr could not be achieved solely by a policy of passive re.istance, nor the question be settled by a policy of force. Even Chancellor Cuno, seid Herr Stressemann, had never contended that negotiations conld only be undertaken after the evae- vation of the Rubr. The object of pas- sive resistance was onlyv to free the Rohr territory and the Government would be doing a great service if 1t could shorten the Kuhe¢ dispute as far us possible, Feelers hitherto put out, thowever, show- ed the difficulties which existed. For us, continued the Chancellor, the question o the sovercignty of the Rhineland and regaining the freedom of the Ruhr terri- tory is deecistve. For it we are ready to give real guarantees, Lake Hurst, N. J.
