BOLIVIA GENEVA, Sept. agenda of the assembly. When today’s session opened Au- gustin Edwards, head of the. Chilean del nm took the floor and declared that the request of Bolivia ought to be rejected without debate. In an ardent, eloquent speech, Senor Edwards de- fined Chile's position as uncompro- mising on this question. He recalled that the president of Bolivia had de- clared be would respect the treaty of 1904 between Chile and Bolivia, re- vision of which Bolivia haz asked the assembly to take under consideration. The incompetence of the league to revise the treaty of-1904.was the prin- dipal argiment of Senor Edwards speech. He declared the covenant of the league of mations provides for the revision of inapplicable treaties only. “Can anyone pretend that this asked. Addressing himself directly to Carlos Aramayo, bead of the Bolivian delegation, Senor Edwards cried: “Let me recall the many tles that unite us. Let.me say to you that Chile wants them to hold and I hope you will not persist in an attitude that sat impassive and did not betray that the Chilean dele- gate’s words had mado the slightest pt t. He seid the treaty was, in the opinion of the Bolivians, the result of 29 years of pressure. “That treaty,” he cried, not only inapplicable, but it is; in fact; unapplied. There can be no hope for permanent peace in South America so long as that treaty remains unre- vised.” In conclusion, Seor Aramayo quoted from President Poincare of France as giving the opinion that the league of nations was competent to deal with suth questions.

It was the citizens who inherited their pa- triotism from fheir forefathers who came across ir. the Mayflower and helped determine and decide the in- dependence of America as well as those who have adopted American in. stitutions as their own.

Plans of B. McAfee, an American scientist now in London, and Prof. David Todd for taking snapshots of Mars by using a mine shaft in Chile as the barrel of a special tele- scope, are “impracticable and offer no possibility of success” in the opinion of Prof. Sojon I. Bailey, di- rector of the Harvard observatory. “It is true that stars can be seen int daylight from the bottom of a mine or the bottom of a well, just aS we can see tHem through a tele- scope even in a. thunderstorm,’" Professcr Bailey said. “But the idea of using a mine shaft in con- junction with a big dish of mer- cury to make Mars sppear a mile or two away is preposterous, I have no faith in the idea. It is a foolish, wild scheme.” Thief Caught Third Time On Trip. From N.Y. DENVER, Sept. 7.—After travel- ing in an alleged stolen auiomobile from Ogdensburg, N.
