Geneva. July 19.. An announcement that prepar- ations are being made for a spe- cial meeting of the League Coun cil on July 29 to deal with the Abyssinian issue, is giving rise to some speculation.
It is, however, generally antici pated that the meeting, it actual- ly came about, will be of short duration, since the Council will pro bably content itself with the ap- pointmeat of a fifth member of the arbitration commission if four other members should fall to reach "an agreement as to the selection
of a fifth arbitrator,
This procedure has been provide ed for by the resolution of May 25 and it is expected that the Coun- cll will carefully refrain from en- tering into the discussion upon the merits of the case, since the ap- pointment of the fifth arbitrator automatically adjourns the matter tili August 25 when the League Council.

"It is not possible, stated Helldorf that in the German capital "in which the nation's leader resides and where all the ministries are situated for the police to work other than in the closest associà- tion, with the National Socialistle party and particularly with the administration of the Berlin dis- trick.

Turning to the question of cri- minality in Berlin, the new Police Ch'eg said that although there had been a great decrease since the as- sumption of power by nationalism there were now signs of a certain revival in crime.

"It was in its essence," said Mr. Propert, "an exotic and costly survival from the days of the great courts and wealthy patrons." So is the case of the Opera, for one might have expected them to share the eclipse of the Hapsburgs and Romanofs, of Vienna and St. Petersburg.
Both of them however, are still very much alive, due to the over- whelming appeal they both make to the heart and soul'of humanity, in Sadler's Wells no less than in

Despite the intense heat on Saturday night the crowd were loyal to the Hotel so that there were many people dancing to the strains of the excellent muste sup......... plied by the Hotel orchestra. There were only a few people early in the evening but as the night wore on the crowd kept on Increasing and the room was soon packed. I saw Mr. Ritchie of Mesars Palmer & Turner's while, Lt. O'Brien, RN. was another to catch my eye. Mr. Bigazzie' was there too while the Taikoo Docks was very well represented, several people from the other end of the town" coming up for the occasion.
I was indeed much too hot fos dancing but somehow we just forget the weather when we are in the Grill Room and it was a very hot and tired but happy crowd that left the Hotel when we were told that "like all. ""good people we had to go home to bed."
