Geneva^—-The fifth assembly of the League of Nations ended its labors by unanimously adopting a resolution reo o.m in ending that all states accept the . protocol of arbitration and security. Apart from the elaboration of the protocol for the peaceful settlement >i international disputes, the out standing feature of the sessions was the insistence of the delegates that economic problems, popularly regald J d as belonging exclusively to the domestic jurisdiction of states, must he solved on an international basis, if all causes of war really would be removed. ' This insistence was voiced by sev eral speakers, especially those rep resenting France; it is implied in the protocol itself, and for a time domi nated the discussion of the Kuropean jurists as they strove to fashion a pact which would not unduly alarm all nations which jealousy guarded the doctrine of states’ rights. The idea behind the movement, as explained by the jursts, is that the league of nations, having decided to outlaw all war, logically must turn to all possible causes of conflict and endeavor to eradicate them. Fed by the growing spirit of internationalism, as a complement to nationalism and state sovereignty, the jurists contend ed world as a whole, such as immi gration and equitable distribution of raw materials, can not longer be left to the exclusive control of any state or states, but must be examined with a view to their equitable settlement in the beat interest of all, so that economic causes of war may be elimi nated. (f Kind words for America and Ameri cans marked the memorable closing hours of the assembly—which the Chinese delegation made dramatic by getting up and solemnly walking out of the auditorium when the assembly refused to grant China a non-perman ent seat in the council.

Fritz Deitrick and James Waycaster, two workmen, were killed, the former instantly, the latter dying a few minutes later. The tragedy occurred at tlij heating plant of the North Carolina College for Women. The two men had gone up inside the stack to install a heavy brass ornament at the top of the stack, which had been completed, after sev eral other men had balked at the task. They volunteered. It is not known just how tie- accident occurred, one theory being that a piece of tim ber they carried caught in the hoisting nvii-chanism and wrecked the support ing beam. And under the strain the men were thrust from the inside of the track, over the edge and fell to its foot. .1 R. K. Rufty, eniineor on the ele valor, said he had | mark on the oahle which indicated when to stop, and that he stopped as usual. Then he hap pened to lQOk__yp and saw the frame work falling A second later the men fell In a mud hole at the bottom of the stack Dietrick s neck was broken, left arm broken In three places, bone penetrat ing fiesh, and ribs fractured.

Washington.—The department of agriculture made puolic a report from A. R. Genung, agricultural economist for the 'department, declaring that agri culture is swinging toward p^r and not in five years lias the United States presented so nearly a picture of bal anced prosperity as now. The report was made after he had returned from a tour of the leading agricultural, sec tions of the country. "Go into the South this ft’ 1 and you will be impressed with its prosperity- Mr. Genung said. “Last year went a long way to wipe out the pressing burden of indebtedness. Another cot ton crop bringing $1,500,000,00,1) cash, plus a fairly good season for truck crops, potatoes, rice and small fruits, will put the South into a very comfor table position. General sentiment throughout the region is distinctly op timistic.” The report said that “the East is go ing into the winter on about the same basis as the last two years. The pre vailing frame of mind among farmers is rather static. “Farmers in the corn belt," the re port continued, ( “are in better spirits than for four years—not so much from any great increase in income as from a feeling that the stage is being set for better times.” The wheat belt was described as be- Ing In “better shape than for four years,” and in the Western spring wheat territory, “where no one has had a new- pair of shoes since the winter of 1919 1920, there is particular re joicing.- Men are inclined once more to regard the wheat country as good property. “The situation in the range country is somewhat mixed in that sheepmen and growers of grain and many irri gated crops are in very fair shape, while cattlemen are just the reverse. The catRe situation remains an enigma. Three Hang From Same Gallows. Jonesboro. La.—Freeman Coleman, Booker Boone and Willie Washington, negro moonshiners, were hanged here for the murder on August 22 of Sheriff E. M. Rentz. of Jackson parish.
