IEAGUE PROVES VALUABLE AND STOPS DISPUTE Council Smooths Out Difliculties Be tween Four Natins. Polish Lithuania Fight Stopped BOTH SID158 ACCEPT ILAN Aland Islands Question Between Fin. land and Sweden in Fair Way of Settlement by League. Paris, Sept. 20.-The ninth session of the council of the league of nations adjourned today after having smoothed out difliculties between four nations in controversies which at one time threatened to result in war. Through its action in the Polish Lithuanian crisis the council succeeded in getting the two countries to agree to an immediate suspension of hos tilities pending a s-ttlement of their dispute which both sides agreed to ac cept. The Aland Islands question likewise is considered in a fair way for settle ment. A Finnish reservation which at first appeared seriously to cloud the issue was explained as not offer ing an insurmountable difficulty and as having been made largely for tech nical reasons. League officials explained that, al though neither Finland nor Sweden was legally bound to accept the league's decision, they were morally bound to accept it. ' It was further pointed out that a settlement, "if backed by public opinion, would vir tually compel acceptance."

Constant requests for the films, which picturize a wide range of agri cultural activities, are being receive from many quarters, and the number of sales is increasing rapidly under an arrangement by which the purchaser pays the contract charge of a com mercial manufacturer. Among the buyers is the Interna tional Committee of Y. M. C'a., which recently purchased 200 reels on var ious subjects for use in Russio, Czech oslovakia, Roumania, Greece and oth er European countries. The Argen tine Government and the Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway have also showr their estimation for American agri cultural methods as applied to Argen tnia. The Government of the Argen tine recently purchased several copie: of "Embryology of the Egg" and fiv< copies of "Making the South Tiel Free," subject of much interest in Ar gentina.

The introduced individu als have been distributed in Louisi ana and Texqs cane fields. The ulti mate success of the effort will depend on whether or not the parasites can succeed in overwintering in the United States, and this fact can not be known until next spring. The exped-tion con sisted of five men, a specialist from the Bureau of Entomology and four other entomoligists whose salaries were paid by the Louisiana sugar cane growers. o BIG MOB AFTER NEGROES Chicago, Sept. 20.-Trhee negroes were besieged for more than an hour in St. Gabriel's church on the South Side tonight by a mob of a thousand persons after the negroes had killed a white man.
