R. Was Attempt to Save Water-Logged Corporation Without Consulting People. nd — The executive board of the Civic League, after a meeting today, an- | nounced that the league would co-| operate to the fullest extent with the Citizens’ Referendum League in the movement to recall Mayor Kiel for his deal with the United Railways Co. The Referendum League has an- nounced that it expects to begin the circulating of recall petitions y. The Civic League has not deter- | mined on any plans for circulating | the recall petitions on its own ac- count, but it will aid in financing the work, which is expected to be done largely by the Referendum § Lw-ague and by labor unions and neighfbor- héod organizations affiliated with it. At the same time it was decided the Civic League will prepare to institute | legal action in the Jefferson avenue | franchise case, in the attempt to re- institute the city’s attack on this franchise, which attack was with- drawn by City Counselor Daues at the instance of the Mayor. Statement In Reply to Daues. The Ways and Means Committee, appointed ‘by Frank P. Crunden, president of the Civic League, to di- rect both the litigation and the re- call movement, consists of Flint Garrison, John H. Gundlach and L. Wade Childress. The executive board of the league issued a statement today reviewing the situation and replying to state- ments made by the City Counselor yesterday in his “explanation” of the deal.. The statement says: “The Civic League means to go through to the finish with this affair. St. Louis must have good street car service at a reasonable fare. not have such service tion in its water-logged condition, and would do so at the expense of the public. Street-car riders would pay in increased fares for the com- jany’s inflation. “Not alone have the people’s rights leen outraged by the attempted bur- giary of referendum petitions on 1 discredited ordinance, but the chief executive of the city now makes a secret pact with the corporation ben- .fited by the burglary. Will the peo- ple of St. Louis allow this condition to continue”? The league, afid other (rganizations, cannot win this fight alone. It is the fight of the entire good citizenship of this city. The question is: ‘Will St. Louis be free, or will it remain the plaything of a special-privilege interest?’ The Jefferson Avenue Casc. “The City ‘Counselor's ‘explana. | tion’ of the United Railways deal) makes the administration’s case, worse than before.

PARIS, Jan. 22.—-Whenever the plan of the league of nations is for- mally promulgated by the peace con- ferenee it will the plan or the plan of the British, the not be American Italians, French ‘or the Japanese, but will be the result of the unani- mous agreement of the five great Powers, embodying ideas and propo- sals gathered from the best plans offered by all of them. The American public can expect 'to see such a comprehensive outline lof the general principle of the league of nations announced within 10 days or two weeks. The progress of the informal conferences is already so far advanced that it is fully believed by the men working thereon that they will be ready within a fortnight to submit a world plan, which, while not perfectly destroying war, will be the best instrumentality to which all 'will agree at the outset as the start- ing point toward an ideal interna- tional code of morality. To ProVide for Inquiry. Fundamentally, it can be said it will provide for compulsory investi- gation of all @isputes of all character 'with provision forbidding the begin- ning of hostilities while arbitration ‘or other processes for amicable set- 'tlement offered by mediators are be- ing exhausted, and provisions for lo- calization of a conflict in case one occurs represent one principle on which everybody is agreed. It is probable that nothing novel will ap- ‘pear in the joint plan when an- nounced because everything anybody has ever said or written on the sub-| ject has been studied here and the | to be ideas appropriated.
