GENEVA, September §—An impres- sfve demonstration of welcome and felendship for the Irish free state fqatured this evening's meeting of the league of nations, when, by the unanimous vote of the membershin commission Ireland was recommended for admission. On Monday she will become a formal part of the league by the action of the assembly. There was a warm feeling tonight in the hearts of the Trlsh delegation, President William T. Cosgrave and Desmond Fitzgerald, foreizn minis- ter, and all the others, for many na- tions joined in a spontaneous manl- festation of good will and best wish- es for Ireland and her future pros perity and happiness. England. France, China, Persla and the spokes- men for other lands participated in the démonstration of friendliness. Dusy Week Cloxes. Thus the most palpitating week in the history of the league closed with general rejoicing that the Greco- Ttallan crisis offers good prospects of settlement because of the co-opera- tive activities of the council of the league, but with the conviction amonz the delegates generally that the ques- tion of the leugue’s competency to act directly in such a crisis must be settled once and for all. H The issue at stake Is regarded as| entirely clear; Italy, a member state, has decline recognize that the league covenant obliges her to submit her dispute to the league for settle- ment. Delegates of many countries point out that if what they define as this defiance of the covenant is allowed to stand unchallenged the prestige of the organization is im- periled if not lost altogether. They cmphasize that if the Italian rejection of the league's intervention is allowed to go unquestioned a de- structive precedent will have been ablished to which any member state in the future can refer as justi- o fication for ignoring the statutes of | the league. There s no disposition to brutalize Italy or to summon her brusquely before the bar of world opinion as represented by the league, but there 1s a clearly defined and growing opin- lon that the question of competency must be passed upon either by the council or by the assembly. Some delegations think the Italian attitude towards the league is a purely polit- ical question and that every foretgn office or every member country should be forced to go on public record as whether they do or do not uphold the position of the Rome government. Therc are other delegations which opine that in view of the existence of the councll of ambassadors whose agents the murdered Italtan military mission were, the Qquestton of the league's gompetency is a purely juris- dicial question. . Ma§ Ask ‘Conft Ruling. Hence their idea is that the Per- manent Court of International Justice should be asked to give an advisory opinion as to the league's compe- tency. Next week is expected to bring some developments’ on the issue of competency which all the delegates, and especlally those representing amaller world states, seem to think 50 vital to supremely important to the cause of international peace. M. Politis, the Greek spokesman. told the Asociated Press correspond- ent that Greece would not insist upon atdecision by the league council on the question of competency if the actlon of the council of ambassadors resulted satisfactorily. Solution of the crisis to him was the main thing, and the problem of competency be- cdme a purely academic question when the crisis was passed. T Credits League “We should not forget” he added, “that, after all, it was the council of the lcague of nations which found the | formula of the proposed settlement.! Results count.” In the meantime the delegates are adticipating addressing themselves to | other matters, such as the project for | reduction of armaments and pacts of mutual assistance, which were elabo- rated at the Paris meeting of the cauncil. In these pacts power would Le given the league to decide which state was the aggressor in case of war and to say against which state pledged assistance was to be given, These two questions, the mutual agsistance treaties and reduction of armaments, will be discussed simul-| tancously in the assembly. Augustin _ Edwards, the repre- sentative of Chile, has taken the present occasion to emphasize anew that Latin America is practically dis-! armed and that her sole desire 1s to! escape being dragged into the arma- | ment race existing olsewhere. He | maintains It is wrong to speak as| some do of the faflure of the San- tiago conference. He said {t should| be remembered the conference gave! birth to a continental convention | whose object is the preventing of| conflicts between South American states and submission to a commis- sion of {nvestigation of all their dif- ferences which cannot be regulated by_diplomacy or arbitration. Senor Edwards has given notice that when the debate on the pact of mutual assistance begins the South American states will not neglect to omphasize that the countries sign- ing the South American continental treaty not to besin mobilization of ‘troops during six periods to permit the cooling of national excitement. United States Senators McKlinley { of Illinols and Swanson of Virginia, | and former Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska called on President Cos- grave of the Irish Free State today and discussed the condition of Ireland und the recent elections. They felici- tated him on his cordial demonstra- tion before the league commission to- day, when TIreland's application for admission was unanimpusly sup- ported. The senators were pre{iilited to Mr. Cosgrave by M. J. Doyl@vof Phila- delphia.

The maneuvers, be- ginning Tuesday, will actually occur on the left bank of the Rhone—the side nearest the Alps — between Orange and Montelimar, or directly opposite the famous Mont Cenis tunnel, which ocuts the Alps at the Modane frontier. ‘The general scheme of battle is 33.00 that the blue army having had seri- ous checks near Lyons, is retreating southward toward Italy.

The high command of both armies is under the direction of Gen. Monroe, nominally commanding the 15th Army Corps.

Referring to the negotiation of the conventions in his letter to Mr. War- ren the Chief Executive sal “It is more than the settlement of | a long-standing, complex and dificult | series of differences between the Re- public of Mexico and our own coun- try. It {s a demonstration that patience, good will and the purpose of peace can avercome the most dis- couraging obstacles between nations, which sincerely wish amicable and mutually helpful relations. Because it is all this, it is a fine thing to have had such & part as your own in making it possible at this time in & distraught world. “To your skill as a negotiator and | wisdom as a man of affairs, is due large credit for the result which we are all sure will be of great benefit |to both countries.

Tho final consultation today was participated in by Dr. Edward Cussler of New York Hospital, pneumonia spectalist. It revealed that there had been no increaso in the lung area affccted and that Mr. Hylan's power of resistance had not been lessened. The mayor retained consclousness throughout yesterday and insisted he was not so ill as the physicians indi- cated. All that ailed him he said, was “a bad cold.” Temperature Drops. With a pulse reglstering 114, the patient's temperature dropped to 99.6, and his respirations numbered 3 The extremely high pulse is regard- ed as disquieting, but Dr. George F. Comstock, family physician of John F. Sinnott, wha, is in charge of the case, declared the high pulse was “nothing_ to worry about. Nour{shment wasy administered nat- urally during the day, and attending physicians agreed the mayor's diges- tive organs were functioning nor- mally. Late tonight Dr. Comstock re- ferred to Mayor Hylan as “making a fine fight. Wants Better Union. He sald there had been no unfa- vorable developments during the day. After two hours’ sieep in the early afternoon the mayor insisted on hav- ing the morning newspapers read to him, but lost interest when lunch- eon appeared. Commenting on_the fact that no becfsteak appeared in the menu provided, Mr. Hylan re- marked he felt able to eat anvthing, but supposed he would have to sub- mit to medical supervision. Although plainly worried over the mayor's admittedly serfous state, Mrs. Hylan has maintained . her courage.” The usual smile is abgent from her face, but she does not weep, Mrs. Sinnott, the mayor's daughter, is similarly courageous. (FRISKY AND PETE OFF FOR NEW ADVENTURE Twin Airedales Meet When Owners Visit and Disappear Toward Rock Creek Park. Frisky and Pete, one-year-and-a- half-old twin Airedale brothers, are £one again to answer jointly the call of the wild in Rock Creek Park. They disappeared Friday morning from the home of Samuel S. Adams, the owner of Pete, at 3514 Garfield street, shortly after Col. G. S. Jenks, the owner of Frisky, of 3524 Edmunds street, came to pay a visit. It's an old story. Whenever these two brothers meet they form some sort of a comspiracy to break the bonds of domesticity and go @allop- ing away to the arborial arches in the Rock creek valley. Mr. Adams said, in reporting the disappearing act to the police last night, that sev- eral times in the past the dogs had played similar pranks, returning only when their interior departments be- gan demanding nutrition. He expressed a fear that the dogs might attach themselves to some one in their jaunt because of their easy- golng dispositions.

Heretofore it has been possible to examine the sun's corona for only few seconds, because the moon's shadow has moved off too quickly, and the eclipse must be total to us- sure results. In view of the fact that the astronomers will have neariy three minutes to make their analys it is hoped that the nature of 1 mysterious green gas may be at la determined, Bands of Shadows. Next in importance, in the opin- fon of some astronomers here, will be the opportunity the eclipse will afford to study the strange, trem lous bands of shadows that appear immediately before the eclipse reaches its totality and immediately after it has passed. These quecr wavering, ghost like shadows are even discernible on the ground when the sun's shape fs outlined on the earth. Hundreds of the most prominent astronomers and other sclentists America, and some from France, have assembled at the spot near San Diego, where the eclipse will reach totality, the only place that phenomena w occur in the United States. They w watch it through every astronomical Instrument known .and one, Dr. W W. Campbell, director of the Lick Observatory, has built w camera so large that he is obliged to sit inside it to operate. it Test of Alrplanes Airplances will be used for the first time t4 photograph the sun’s shadow as it is thrown upon the earth Whether they will be able to con- tribute more to sclence than photo- graphs taken from the ground is a question that can be decided only after tomorrow’s eclipse, since it is the first totality since the airpl became capable to doing scienti work. The possibility of the long-sough “unknown nlanet,” which som astronomers believe migrates around the sun between that orb and Me:- cury, the closest known planet to t sun, will also be examined, al sclentists here are frankly skeptical that such a celestial body actualiv exists. It it does, they belicve will certainly be possible to see it 1o morrow. The eclipse will be visible partial eclipse all over the Unitcd States and as a totality within a patn 100 miles wide, extending from Kamchatka to the Carribean Sea. In Washington it will last for 111 min- utes, beginning at 3:41 o'clock tomor- row afternoon and ending at o'clock. AUTO THEFT CHARGED. Chastisement by Father Alleged Cause of Baltimore Trip.
