GENEVA, November 20.—With the excitement of three disarmament sen- sations of the past week more or less out of the way, League of Nations cir- cles tonight were looking forward to the final session: of the Preparatory Commission and the possibility of sharp clashes on aircraft. ‘The question of the wartime value of civil airships is expected tb bring the American and German insistence that civil aeronautics be not injected into the boiling cauldron of French and other European fear that commercial aircraft may be employed for wartime attacks The commission expects to conclude its task of drafting a general disarma- ment treaty by next Saturday. Hoover Move Praised. Chief among the American contribu- tions to the excitement of the past ‘week was President Hoover's announce- ment that the World Court protocol ‘would be nubmltfiu:x ':.o 3:: next session of Congress for ratification. League authorities hailed the an- nouncement as distinctly good news. Rumors became current that the Amer- ican State Department was negotiating at Geneva or elsewhere for a consulta- tive pact. Denial by Secretary of State Stimson failed to extinguish talk of the scheme. A new phrase, likely to remain a na- tional slogan for Germany, came out of a debate between French and German spokesmen when Count von Bernstorfl demanded “parity of security.” A ma- Jority of the commission voted the gen- eral treaty would not diminish the ob- l.li’n!tiom of Germany and her defeated Raussia Meets Italy. Gen. Maxim Litvinofl's meeting with Dino Grandi of Italy at Milan excited wide speculation in Geneva and was taken as an indication of more friendly Schools and Colleges News of Interesting Student and Faculty Activities ‘ in Washington’s Leading Educational Institutions. ‘Whether the citizens of the District of Columbia should be given the right to elect their own municipal government was announced yesterday as the sub- Jec’ for the annual debate for the Mer- rick Medal, which will be held next; Sunday evening in Hall at Georgetown University. ‘The debate will be staged between, members of the Philodemic Society of | the college, now in its 101st year, and! all arrangements, except for the select- | ing of the judges, have been completed by Rev.

INVALID IS RESCUED FROM FIRE AT FORT Alarm Interrupts Reception of Broadcast of Army-Notre Dame Foot Ball Game. Special Dispatch to The Star. FORT HUMPHRIES, Va., November 29.—Officers and men crowded around the loud speakers bringing accounts of the Army-Notre Dame foot game this afternoon were called out by a gen- eral fire alarm from the quarters of Staff Sergt. J. N. O. Scott, and before the fire had been extinguished it had burned the inside and destroyed the roofs of Sergt. Scott's home and the quarters of Sergt. L. L. Kauffman. The bullding was one of the double barracks erected during the war. Sergt. Scott, who was also listening to the radio, looked up when he smelled smoke and found his ceiling burning. He rushed upstairs to his invalid father-in-law, R. C Hedden, and found him in the bath room, the only room that was not in flames. He succeeded in carrying him out, but was overcome by smoke and received first-ald treat- ment. The fire was extinguished in time for the officers to listen in on the last few minutes of play. GLOVER FOR U. S. AID TO BUILD SMALL SHIPS Low Cost Freight Vessels Would Be Factor in Settling America's Position Upon Seas. By the Associated Press. Recommendation for a change in the merchant marine law to give Govern- ment aid in building 2, to 5,000 ton ships was made yesterday by As- sistant Postmaster General Glover. If Congress arranges to help build ships which move low-cost freight, he said “our position will be definitely settled on the seas.” Commening upon reports which have reached the Post ce Department that the Cunard, a British line, plans to build a 73,000.ton liner for North Atlantic service, he said it would be interesting to know what the Brit- ish government would pay toward the construction of the liner. He also said Aavel Dariy because ot it igh speca na; y use of 5 and fact that it could carry 6- inch guns. NATURAL GAS IS WASTED IN RAISING CRUDE 0IL Trust Corporation Claims Value of Lost Vapor Often Exceeds Value of Production. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 29.—More than $50,000,000 worth of natural gas will be wasted this year in the United States in connection “with bringing crude oil to the surface, according to a state- ment issued today by Republic Shares Corporation of Chicago, sponsor of Re- pubiic Trust Shares. In some sections the value of the natural gas being wasted is in excess of the value of the oll brought to the surface. “Efforts of all producers and refiners to cut down ovel;gll;oducflon ould also be directed to needless waste of natural gas,” says the statement. “Overproduction of oil means lower prices, but the present wastage of nat- ural gas has a social as well as an economic imj ce, since gas that flows out of well is lost forever.” _EDUCATIONAL. the | Governors of the Manufacturers’ Divi- NOV ruosR 30, REVISION OF MINING LAWS HELD NEEDED Industry’s Leaders Sponsor Series of Conferences to Solve Grave Problems.

Fixing of prices is not contemplated, he said, but adjustment of the supplies of these minerals to the demand will be consid- ered. Unless the situation is relieved, wage reductions, further unemployment and shutdowns will result, he said. The law’s revision and co-operation within the industry are needed to make possible collective " curtailment of pro duction in the branches of mining which ::l‘d suffering from overproduction, he ‘The series of meetings here will open with a conference on the morning of December 4 on coal mine mechaniza- tion, including the economics of me- chanical mining, selections and training of management and surplus labor.
