FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1920 PRICE THREE CENTS COVENANT MAY LOSE ARTICLE X; WILSON TO ACT PERSONALLY Tmtfrr. • Geneva, Dec. .3.— (By tho Associated Press.)—Presentation and adoption of a resolution elim inating Article X from tbe covenant of the Leaguo of Nations before the end of the present session of the' Assem b ly would occasion no surprise here, it w a s declared in some quarters iwhen tho Assembly began its meeting. Assertions w ere made that yester day’s session of tho Committee on the Admission of N e w States, which held, in effect, that the Article doos not guarantee thc territorial integrity of any member of the League, represented tbe view of a majority of the delegates at the present meeting. This inter pretation, and the postponement of the consideration of certain changes in the covenant were the principal topics of conversation here today. These changes, which were proposed Iiy Scandinavian countries, was said in nowise to prevent consideration at' this session of any other amendments. X. W. Rowell, a Canadian delegate, brought this ou t. clearly by question ing A. J. B a lfour of Great Britain. The committee to which was referred thc question of liow to choose the four elective members of tho Council of the League had not as yet reported. The question is whether these mem bers shall be elected for four years or two, and, it is still being debated whether their term s of offico should begin from the .first entry of the Coun- 'cil into operation, or from thc present m eeting of the Assembly. I f the latter idea prevails, the four representatives m u st be elected here._ The chance of Brazil returning to her placo on thc Council is considered excellent, but Greece, it Is thought, will lose her place Sweden has strong support as successor to Belgium, while Roumania. Czecho-Slovnkia.' Jugo sla v ia and Portugal are eventual can didates. The chances for the latter were much improved by the success of Dr. Alfonso Costa, head of her delega tion in putting through an amendment providing that the Committee to Study Amendments to tho Covenant.may con sider suggestions from any source. W ashington, Dec. 3..— S tate Depart m ent officers said \today that a mis construction had been placed upon their-statem ent yesterday as to wheth er President Wilson would act official ly or personally in naming a mediator to act for him ln au effort to settle the trouble betwecu the and Turkish Nationalists, the president would act personally and not officially in appointing a mediator, but explained* that it would, be diffi cult, of course, to differentiate between W oodrow Wilson personally and as president of the United States. Should the negotiations not bo con cluded beforo President W ilson retires next Hlarch 4, 'the m ediator appointed by him would continue to act as his representative. FINGER LAKES GOAL NOT MADE, E PRESSED WAVE O F PRO S P E R I T Y S P R E A D S O V E R ISLAND O F PORTO RICO W ashington,' D ec. 3.—Thc people of Porto Rico, benefiting from a wave of prosperity which overspread tho territory during the last fiscal year, were better fed and, clothed than dur ing any year in the Island’s history, ILL UNDER WAY; FIUME ISOLATED Triest, Dec. 3— (By tho Associated Press.)—A state of war between the Kingdom of Italy and the “Regency of Quarnero” at Fiume began at mid,- night, but up to a few minutes beforo 1 liat time there wns no visible evidence that actual .hostilities impended. The blockade o f Fium e was continuing, and the only indications of trouble were the fierce pronouncements of Captain Gabriele D'Annunzio against General Caviglia and the regular Italian troops wliirh wore surrounding the city. Communication between Fiume nnd, tbo Islands of Ardo nnd Vogiia was cut hy an Italinn patrol in the Gulf of Quarnero, and supplies cannot be taken to them from tho city. Thus (lie poet-soldicr’s occupational forces there appear to bo isolated. Railroad traffic was functioning late last night, but the usual restric tions wero enforced on thc line of de- markation between Fiume and thc oc cupation zone outside; passage of tho D'Annunzian legionaries through the lines being forbidden. General Caviglia has been able to tighten the conditions under which D’Annunzio’s forces are held in Fiume, nnd, all ships under the command of tlif» poet-soldier remain in thc harbor, not venturing beyond the breakwater of the port. Fiume seemed tranquil yesterday, with the exception of unimportant raids by submarine chasers. The population w a s maintaining nn in different attitude roward tho legion aries who w ere busy in the “work of ■'.“fense ” A member of D ’Annunzio’s staff told The Associated Press that D’Annunzio w;shod recognition of his services Ain occupying Fium e from Parliament, and that ho would become conciliatory in Mini event. ' Xo one can deny,” he continued, \that D’Annunzio saved Fiume, but ■in mention hns been mad.c of his work in rpcent parliamentary orders.” Tho cordon of Carabineers surround- in~ Fiume w a s increased yesterday, and a very strict watch was being ''■'■pt on all approaches to the city. Artlius Yager, territorial governor, de clared in his annual report, made ■public today. “Tho general prosperity of the Is land,” Governor Yager asserts, \has been most remarkable and has includ ed all thd industries and every form of business with the possible exception of the citrus fruit growers, who wfcre unfortunately gravely injured by the tie-up of boats of October and Novem ber due to the strike of tho stevedores in N e w York harbor. T h e widespread increase in wages enabled tho laboring classes generally to share in thc pros perity.” Governor Yager points out that the external trade of the Island for the fiscal year amo.untcd to $247,199,9S3, an increase of 74 per cent over the total for the previous year, which was the highest on record. Exports of the Island were placed by the governor at $100,811,-140, an increase of about 90 per cent, over that of thc year previous, and about $70,000,000 more than the highest' rec ord for all previous years. The Island’s Imports reached a to tal of $00,583,53-1: or 50 percent greater than those of a'ny previous year. Tho governor quotes the chief of the insular polic nnd the insular attorney- general as authorities for tlie state ment thnt prime is decreasing in Porto Rico, especially those form s of crime attributed/ to the use of intoxicating liquors. Auburn's part In tho membership campaign of the Finger Lakes Associa tion w ill continue over until next week, City Chairman A. J. Lauer an nounced' today, follow ing thc receipt of only $1,S00 in membership fees at a meeting of team w o rkers last ulght at the Chamber of Commerce. Al though the closing tim e of the drive here w a s last night, workers reported, that all thc territory in the city hurt not been covered and for this renson a last supreme effort w ill be exerted today, tomorrow and Monday. Mr. Lauer today called, a team meet ing for Monday evening at the Chain- ber of Commerce, w h en a luncheon will be served all w o rkers and liual reports made. By that time it is con fidently expected Auburn will lmvo swept over the top, as has every other community so far canvassed.

Be cause Auburn is off the main line ot the New York Central and tho Brie Canal, business men nre gladly con tributing to the movem ent which will preserve and increase Auburn’s tourist influx. R o ss W. Kellogg, campaign director who has been working with Mr. Lauer in Auburn, was today directing the team work in Seneca Falls. Reports todny from Ithaca, second largest city In the region, show that there tho first day of canvassing netted $1,200 and that the community will easily sweep over the top. “It should bo recognized,” Sir. Lauer said today, “that th is campaign Is not mad,e w ith the idea of taking money out of Auburn-hut w ith tho object of bringing money in.

(B y the Asso ciated Press).—The Allied premiers in conference yesterday agreed to send a note to the Greek Government declaring that restoration of Constan tine to the throne of Greece would be regarded as ratification by that country of Constantine’s hostile acts, and would create a new and unfav orable situation in the relations be tween Greece nnd the Allies. Text of Note. , “Thc British, French and Italian governments have constantly in tlio p a st given proof of tlieir good will towards the Greek people and have favored the attainment of tlieir secu lar aspirations. They, therefore, have been all the more painfully sur prised by the events which have just occurred in Greece. They have no w ish to interfere in the internal nf. fairs of Greece, but feel bound to de clarc publicly that restoration of the throne of Greecc to a king whose dis loyal attitude and conduct towards tho A llies during the w a r caused them great embarrassment and loss could only be regarded by them as ratification by Greece of his hostile acts. This step would create a new ai)d unfavorable situation in the relations between Greece and the A llies and ia that case the three governments reserve to themselves complete liberty in dealing w ith the situation thus created.” HOGS AND BEEF PRICES CUT; F I BREAD SHORTAGE Chicago, Dcc. 3.— ( B y the Associated P r e s s.)—Hogs on the hoof have rp- turned to what is practically thoir 1013 pre-war price, judging from figures obtained yesterday from ono of the “Big Five” packers. Pork and pork prod,nets, at wholesale, aro on their way toward th a t same level, thc monthly report of thc Institute of American Meat Packers indicates and have reached the scale prevailing In April, 1917, when the United States en tered the war. B e e f also ls on the downward path, the wholesale prico of carcass beef hav ing dropped 17 per cent, since Sep tember 1, according to the Institute's figures. Hogs Take B iggest Drop. The biggest drop recorded, 'however, is in .live hogs. The packing house fig ures show pork on the hoof brought eight cents a pound In November, 1913. During the war the farmer was virtu ally guaranteed a minimum average of 17y2 cent3. In July, 1019, tho price reached 23 cents a pound. Tottyiy hogs’ are back around 10 V 2 cents. Retail P r ices Up. R e tail prices, however, have not kept pace with the falling wholesale market, the packing house official said but he declined to be quoted directly on tbe ground, that retailers might boy cott his company. Quotations from two retail dealers, one whoso store is classed as a high price establishment and tlie other as a cut rate market, show a wide diver gence in prices, partly due, however, both said, to a difference in tlie grade of m eat handled. Shortage of Bread. Suggestion^ of possible comlngshort- age of bread supplies in the United States accompanied a buying scare yes terday in the w h e a t pit on change. Prices ran up 11 cents a bushel for March del’ivery, the principal future contract which is tracked in at present. The sudden bulge lifted March w h eat to $l.GOl/2. If figures that w ere current yester day among dealers prove to be near the truth, tho export surplus in this country has now been reduced to sixty million bushels, a total of fifteen mil lion bushels less than the aggregate which ordinarily is on hand, when a new harvest is beginning nbout July 1. Nervousness over the export situa tion was added to by statements thnt the new crop in Australia had been mostly bought up presumably for Eu rope and that the Argentine harvest w a s being interfered with owing to adverse weather. “Buy a barrel of flour” agitation contributed, a good deal to further dis turbance of wheat values nnd so, also did uncertninty ns to measures which m a y be tnk*‘n soon by (‘'inirrc^ with a view to relieving economic difficul ty*.
