Accept League
As Arbiter in
Aland Dispute
Finland and Sweden Agree
to Intervention for Settle
tlement of Controversy as
to Possession of Islands
Commission to Investigate
Council Adopts Jurists9 Re?
port on Procedure Under
Two Articles of Covenant
PARIS, Sept. 18 (By The Associated
Press). ? Finland and Sweden have
?(reed to accept the intervention of
the League of Nations for the settle?
ment of the dispute between them as
to the possession of the Aland Islands
at the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia
between the two countries. A commis?
sion will be appointed by the executive
council of the league to investigate
the question and reach an early deci?
sion.
The acceptance of the council as
arbitrator is regarded by the members
of the council as a long step toward to?
ward recognition of the league by na?
tions of the world as a medium for the
prevention of future wars.
The decision of Finland and Sweden
to accept the intervention of the league
was taken at to-day's meeting of the
council, which was attended by Hjal
mar Branting, Swedish Premier, and
M. Enckell, Finnish Foreign Minister.
The council adopted the report of
the committee of international jurists
which had been appointed to deter?
mine if the league had jurisdiction
in the case. The committee deter?
mined that under Articles I?I and XI
of the league covenant it had the right
to act.
Basis of League's Action
[Artice II deals with the functions
of the Assembly of the League of
Nations and provides that it may
deal at its meetings with any matter
"within the sphere of action of the
league or affecting the peace of the
world." Article aI is that in which
it is declared that it is "the friendly
right of each member of the league
to bring to the attention of the coun?
cil any circumstance whatever af?
fecting international relations which
threatens to disturb international
peace or the good understanding be?
tween nations upon which peace de?
pends," and also that any war or
threat of war is a matter of concern
to the whole league, and that it
"shall take any action that may be
deemed wise and effectual to safe?
guard the peace of nations."]
The action of the two nations places
in the hands of the league an interna?
tional dispute which at one time was
thought might lead to war. Members
of the council do not disguise their
satisfaction over the decision, which is
pointed to as one of the strongest ex
fresslons of support and confidence the
eague has yet received.
Commission to Frame Report
A commission of three has been se?
lected to furnish the langue in the
shortest possible timo a report which
will enable it to frame either a final
or o provisional settlement.
In a resolution which was adopted
unanimously the council expressed the
hope "that the forthcoming settlement
of the question of the Aland Islands
will be the basis of the maintenance of
peace in that part of the world."
Premier Branting and Foreign Min?
ister Enckell expressed their approval
of the course of the council, and said
they felt confident that a solution ac?
ceptable to both Finland and Sweden
would soon be reached by that body.
Sweden's claims to ownership of the
Aland Islands date back more than
a century. They belonged to her up
to 1809, when they were taken by
Russia and attached to the Province
of Finland. Separated from Russia as
a consequence of the war and the Rus
sii n Revolution, Finland now claims
she is entitled to the continued own?
ership of the group. Sweden is set?
ting up her previous ownership, to?
gether with the large preponderance
oi Swedish population of the islands,
as reasons why they should now re?
vert to her.
Sweden Dispatched Troops
In the spring of 1918, when warfare
between the White Guards and Bol?
shevik forces broke out in Finland
and it was reported the Germans
planned to make use of the islands in
connection with their operations in
Finland, Sweden sent troops to occupy
the islands.
The Aland Archipelago comprises
about eighty inhabited islands, with a
population of about '2;">,0U0, a large pro?
portion of which are Swedes. The
largest of the group is Aland Island,
which containa nearly one-half the
population.
The dispute over the ownership of
the islands has caused considerable
bitterness between the Finns and
Swedes, and at one time an open break

been insistent upon the taking of a

the Aland question has been before

or another.

WARSAW, Sept. 18 (By The Asso?
ciated Presi*).)?Lutsk, an important
fortified city forty miles east of
Vladimir-Volhynsk, has been captured
by the Poles, who have won successes
along a front of approximately 240
miles, according to an official state?
ment issued here yesterday.
The Poles, in their strides from the
Pripet region south *o the Dneister,
are reaching eastward. They have
pushed the Soviet forces back at vari?
ous points and captured great quanti?
ties of war materials and hundreds of
prisoners.
Northeast of Brest-Litovsk the Poles
have brought within their lines a part
of Europe's greatest forest, which for
years was the former Emperor's hunt?
ing ground, and to the east of Kobryn
have gained control of the Gorodetski
Canal, which connects the Bug, the
Pripet and the Dnieper.
Near Pinsk the Poles have encoun?
tered bands of "insurgents" who are I
operating in the rear of the Soviet |
troops. The Poles are now cleaning up
this sector.
?tailway Material Captured
The Polish troops, n1; pa?t of the
maneuver which resulted in the cap?
ture of Lutsk, crossed the Stochod,
advanced along the railroad in the di?
rection of Rozyszc?.e, and captured
Turyjsk, with four locomotives, 180
cars, an armored train and eight guns. |
The Polish cavalry occupied Cholojow
and Radziechow, in the region of the
Gnila Lipa and the Upper Bur.
The Ukrainians and Poles, operating
together north of the Dniester, have '
defeated the Russians, and the pursuit i
has reached the line of Zyrawka,
Vhrynkowce, Potok-Zloty, Korosciatyn I
and Monasterzyska. Many prisoners
have been taken.
The capture of Lutsk gives the Poles
control of more thnn half of the forti?
fied triangle southeast of Kovol, cap?
tured several days'a'go, the points on
which are Lutsk, Dubno and Rovno. ?
These last two fortresses are now I
within gunshot of the Polish front
lines.
