YEAR. H The Wizard PERMANENT BODY OF NINE NATIONS TO BE CHOSEN BY THE COUNCIL. Four Mandatory and Five Powers to Have Representation. Oommission to Meet Once a Year.. Geneva. The council of the league of nations on November 29, approved the final draft of the project for the permanent mandates commission,' defi-- . nitely accepting the tentative proposal to have the commission comprise five and four mandatory powers. It was decided that all the members be chosen by the council. The permanent commission, it is forecast, will probably meet once a 1 year at Geneva and review the administration of the mandate, holding countries. Detailed rules for the commission also were ratified. The council did not consider the proposed invitation ' to the United States for its participation in the discussion over disarmament. The committee on the admission of new members finally agreed - that It is Impossible to admit now the new states carved out of old Russian territory. The theory of the committee is that these states will eventually form part of a new Russian confederation, entirely changing their present status. The committee will recommend, however, that, while these states are not their admitted to full membership, delegates shall be allowed to sit in , the assembly in a consulting capacity without the right to vote. Among ", the important questions v which will come before the assembly this week is the question of admitting ' Austria and Bulgaria to the league of nations, 'Despite the strong .opposition 7 oiSSjblaRumania and Gi eeceto of 'membership to Bulgaria at this time, a large majority of the delegates seem in favor of taking that step. There is virtually no opposition in the case of Austria, the application of which probably will be favorably acted upon in a few days. . . .

The most turbulent week In the history of Ireland came to a close Saturday night with reports of murders and explosions, coupled with additional arrests coming in hourly and the British government s concentrating Its efforts- to .protect one or more high officials from assassination in London. 'Whatever definite information the government may have of the alleged Irish plot of further spectacular reprisals Is not known publicly, although broad intimations have beep given in and out of parliament during the week that sensational revelations were found in captured Sinn Fein documents. Coincident with the erection on Saturday of heavy barricades across the approaches to the government offices, the Central News announced that sensational discoveries ' have been made concerning the Irish plotters in London. Documentary proof, it declares, has been seized showing the plotters planned bombing raids from various parts of this city. The bombers, it is further alleged, were to have been transported about the city in motor cars, making it possible for quick descents and equally rapid retreats. .

At last three concrete plans for Irrigation development In the west, two of them soldier settlement plans, will be brought before congress at the approaching session, all of them plans which have been studied by committees and which have reached stages where they may be taken up for consideration if there is sufficient sentiment and support behind them. The first is the soldier bonus bill, which passed the house last session, s.nd is now in the finance committee of the senate. One section of this bill provides for the reclamation of arid lands, the draining of swamp lands and the recovery of cutover lands to provide homes for soldiers. The second is the Borah bill, which is virtually the soldier land settlement feature of the bonus bill, with an important addition to the effect that .the government shall not buy private lands for reclamation. The third is the Smoot bill, ostensibly to aid and encourage irrigation development with private capital, but putting the federal government back of such development in a way to insure its success. The Smoot bill, in its present form, is not a soldier land bill. To each of the three plans there is substantial objection in some quarters, and advocates of soldier relief and of reclamation extension are not agreed among themselves as to which of the plans, if any of them, shall be pushed no certainty that any of the plans will be passed during the short session. But the agitation will be renewed and each of the three bills will be brought to the front for discussion, if not for ' action. Both the bonus bill and the Borah bill contemplate the appropriation by congress of $300,000,000 over a period of ten years, and on this ground, because of the financial status of the government, the secretary of the treasury recommended against both bills. He pointed out that such a drain upon the treasury would mean either additional taxes or the flotation of new bonds or notes, and to this he was opposed. AVALANCHE IS DESTRUCTIVE Land Covered With Ice and Tree Trunks and Forest Uprooted. Geneva. The unprecedented, extensive avalanche which descended from the summit of Mont Blanc into the Italian valley of Courmayeur has caused greater havoc than was first reported. Several square kilometers of land are covered with blocks of ice, tree trunks and boulders, and near the village of Portud a pine forest, celebrated for its antiquity and the size of the trees, was absolutely uprooted. A mountain torrent named the Doire dammed up the debris and overflowed the banks so that the village of Portud escaped only by a miracle. The avalanche fell through the, air a distance of about 10,000 feet, landing on the Brenva glacier and carrying away a portion. The detonation was so powerful as to shake houses fifty miles away.
