LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

NEW OFFICERS ELECTED

GENEVA, September 4. The Assembly of the League of Nations elected M. Muita of Swit zerland, Chairman of the Committee on legal questions instead of Signor Sclaloja, last year's Chairman. This is regarded as a demonstra- tion against Mussolini's attitude in the present conflict. The six Vice-presidents elected include Lord Robert Cecil, Viscount Ishii and M. Hanotaux. Lord Robert Cecil received 42 out of 44 votes.

TRIPOLI TROUBLE.

ITALIANS REPULSE REBELS.

ROME. September 4.

A message from Tripoli says that fifty rebels were killed on August 31 in an encounter with Italian native troops southeast of Ilitenavez- chall. The rebels fled, fifty or more of them being killed or wounded.

RUSSIA'S HARVEST.

GRAIN EXPORTS BANNED.

HELSINGFORS, September 4. The semi-official announcement from Moscow that it has been decided to prohibit all export of grain is considered as surprising in view of previous statements that large quantities of grain had already been collected at various ports. It is stated that the harvest in Northern and Central Russia will be late.

Mr. Watson's next point that if would have been entitled

to an order against the vendor if the after were still there he was equally entitled to a similar order

against the

defendants. He explained that the plaintiffs wanted the premises in

order to form a bank and paying $41,000 for something he had not got was serious prejudice. "I have something I do not want. I have now," declared Mr. Watson, "got got a house full of a lot of tenants I don't want instead of a vacant one."

For the defence Mr. M. K. Le argued that the only reason Mr. Watson could give for turning out the defendants was the agreement which, at the time, was not given by a tenant at all. At the time the agreement was made vendor and
