American Observer lo At?
tend Present Meeting of
the Assembly in Geneva
Visit Creates Sensation
Delegates Surprised at Unex
pected Appearance of Any
One From Washington
GENEVA, Nov. 27 (By The Associated
Press).?The arrival hero to-day of
Major Marlborough Churchill, assistant
chief of the Military Intelligence Di?
vision of : ne General Staff of the Amer?
ican Army, which so far ;.s appeal's now
has no real significance, except to him?
self and his department, has created a
mild sensation in League of Nations
circles. The United States has been on
the lips of almost every spokesman in
the Assembly of the League and proba
l-iv in the minds of "very delegate.
The hope that the United -States will
some day join the league is unmistak?
able. The entire work of the Assem?
bly has visibly been directed so as not
to prejudice the most important ques?
tions at issue regarding the league
covenant, and so us to leave the way
open for the United States to have her
say in its eventual revi -ion.
The appearance during this Assembly
of any official or unofficial representa?
tive of tin? American government was
the 1h-i thing hoped '.'ota Major
Churchill, consequently, was all the
more an object of attention when his
presence here beam?.' known.
??uiing the afternoon Major Church?
ill confer:-, d with the American mem
ber ol th? league's secretariat, and
also with Colonel Requin, of the French
military delegation in attendance here.
Major Churchill probably will see
the British and other military experts
here for the Assembly before leaving
Geneva the middle of next week. He
explained he was on a lour of inspec?
tion of all the American military at?
taches in Europe and came to Geneva
to lind oui the manner in which the
military commission was organized and
become acquainted with the activities
of the Assembly regarding intelligence
work rind other military questions,
The United States, Major Churchill
said, whs interested from th? stand?
point of the future, and, naturally, ?.vas
anxious to know what bad been done
or might be accomplished in a military
way by tri?' league.
Major Churchill said he had not been
ordered to Geneva by either the War
or State Department, but. thought he
aa?i a good opportunity to obtain val?
uable information for the United
States, inasmuch us lie was at Berne
inspecting the military attache's office
there. He said he might report to
Washington on his visit to Geneva.

Discusses
Amendments to the League
By William Howard Taft
The Assembly of the League of Na?
tions 13; manifesting a most, accommo?
dating pirit toward the United States
i? ?i openly avowed anxiety to have
the United ?States a member of the
league. The committee to which amend?
ments have oren referred (and a num?
ber of amendments have been proposed)
has recommended that none be consid?
ered and acted on until after Mr. Har?
ding shall have taken his seat and in?
dicated what his policy is to be in re?
gard to association of tin? United
States with the other nations of the
world to further the cause of peace.
Ma.ny expressions have fallen from
the lips of 'he delegates, botii from
the great and the minor powers, i'now
?nfi that they deem the presence of the
! : ited State . at the ?"'orna' ional

the United ?States in weighty support
of the peaceful purpose of the united
nations.

-iii^uld take buch form a~ t?> accom?
plish the objects which Mr. H?rtung
has specially stated he would wish to
f.chiove by the association of nations
he seeks and give proper safeguard?.
What are these objects? They are.
First?-Limitation ox arm,tin ont.
Second- A centra! international
court of jurists "with teeth in it."
This, we presume, moan a court with
power to take juri ?diction of all jus?
ticiable issues arising between nations
likely to l"ad to war, ano to secure
enforcement ? ' the judgment, as, for
instance, by a universal boycot .
Follows Ivnox'i Idea
The second provision is in accord
with Senator Ki:ox's suggestion aval?'
at th?; close oi his speech against the
league, in which h< ? tiled for a court
which would "outlaw" ?? nation begin?
ning a war. Senator Brannegec i . the
late campaign expressed .currence
ir. such :t court as that recommended
by the Root-Phillimoro Commission,
which has the power of obligatory jur?
isdiction.
Third?Th?' third object, of Senator
Harding is a conference of nations re
?juired to be held lu consider any non
justiciable issue threatening war and
to seek a settlement. This lias the ;?.p
proval of Senator Brandegee.
The four t-tepa or the existing
League of Nations to secure peace are
as follow?;:
(1) Armament limitation.
(2) Article X.
(3i Recommendation of settlement
j
of all disputes by Council or Assembly?
rf the league, with covenant of every i
nation not to begin war until three
months after reconmenda7iou and not
th*n, if defeated party complies and
tne penalty of universal boycott in case ;
of breach.
(4) Open diplomacy.
Easy ?.o \niend League
It would he very easy to amend the |
league so as to limit its ir. :hinery to
these purposes of Mr. Harding, which
an? not very different from the present
league steps except as to Article X
and the court. Article XI, which has
caused Mr. Borah so much concern as
n source of imperialistic power of the
Council, could, by very small changes,
be expressly "denatured" and the al?
leged powers of the Council and As?
sembly which have sroused the Avid
imagination of opponents of the le ?gua
could be "deflate?!" by a limiting phrase
so as t0 cause no more anxiety. The
articles providing for the Council and
Assembly could be phrased to mean
beyond cavil what tl;-' supporter.- of
the league have always cent ? ?Ad they
did mean and nothiiv.r mot?- to wit.
the creation of merely advisory and
(..?.??'?ulive bodies.
Mbre than this, this league is a part
of A?.e Treaty of Versailles. The Re?
publicans objected to the Shantung pro?
vision of the treaty and insisted on a
reservation saving the United States
'"rom any obligation to support the pro?
vision, and there, were other reserva?
tions, including one on th- Monroe
Doctrine, which, it has been plainly
intimated, the present members of the
?lo '. it object to. Now, if all
th ???? amendments and reservuiiiins be
adopt.-.; so 11 to i evise tl ? Id and
give us a ?i ??.'.? le;. ;;:e within the :'.ur
corners of the instrument in accord
v, itii its own Article V, the United
.States by ratifying the treat;,- with
I this new league in it would m?iUe for
! mal peace with Germany and secure
; the benefit.; which the trout,?, accords
; us as a signatory, and thus every ob'
! static to our resumption of trade with
Germany on the old basis would be re
: moved.
Favors LA S. Commission
By the treaty heavy burdens are in.
'?posed on Germany. She deserves a:
heavy punishment u? she can stand toi
what, she did, but she mtfst >' b(
brolien ??own. She must in the inter?s
of the worid have the opportunity t<
reconstruct herself. France and ling
land, particularly the former, are no
? clear-visioned in this matter. Leuier.c;
will probably have to be shown tier
many i; the interest of all. She an?
the world need the Lri ited States as i
disinterested participant at the counci
table and in 'he league to ?lenl reason
ably with tins subject and to r'jstraii
France an?! England to what is practi
, cable.
For all these reasons, then, the ?.vis
course would ?'.?em to be to appoint
?commission, including owe ioadin
Senator.-, to visit Europe and confe
with n league amendment committe
and see if satisfactory revision of th
league can be tentatively proposed fo
consideration a;id approval by ih
lo'iR-u-? on one side and by the Presi
dent ?m the other, and if agreed to. b
submitted with the rcr. of the ireat
to the Senate for its action.

THE HA ILL, Nov. 27. The Cern .;.
Weekly for The Netherlands prints de?
tails of the financial condition o:' for?
mer Crown Prince Frederick William,
whose name has been ment .?ned in
connection with the alleged smuggling
c f fortunes from Germany to Holland.

to Holland i\ 1918 poverty-stricken
f.nd deciile \ to pawn his watch, rings,
ecarfpin and jeweled decorations. In
addition, Herr Grusser. of the banking
firm of G rus si r, Philippson & Co.,

BERLIN, Nov. 2-3 (By The Associated
Press'*.? Reports that organizations
have been formetl in Bavaria to re?
store the monarchy and establish
Bavarian domin?t on over Ge n any

von Kahr of Bavaria tt,- y.
"Much that is misleading ha; been
said," said President vor. Kahr, "abput
the Einwohnerwehr and the Orgesch in
Bavaria. Those rumors have ;>!act ?i
Bavaria und Bavarians in a false light,
both in other par?a of Germany and
abroad."
Recent reports have said the Orgesch,

by H'Mr Escherich, director of the Ba?

??In ; ho lirst place, lei
Orgesch does not exist in Bavaria," he
-:??;'. "Herr Escherieh ;- head of the
Einwohnerwehr, so I will confine ra>
discussion to that organization Th?.
Einwohnerwehr is not unlike th? la ?

Rumor- that the Einwohnerv.'e!
