ARGENTINE TO REJOIN + LEAGUE OF NATIONS Costa Rica May Again. Be- come a Member and Turkey's Admission is Probable. TAKE FIRST STEPS TO REFORM CALENDAR Date of Easter Fixed for the Second Sunday in April to Begin in 1928. A despatch from Geneva says: -- Argentina will rejoin the League of | Nations and Costa Rica, whose with-, drawdl was announced at the recent, assembly, is reconsidering her deci-| sion" and prcbably will resume her membership, according to League offi- cials. Sir Eric Drummond, secretary- | general of the League, received a cable from Costa Rica.on Friday thanking, the League for its resolution of re- gret at Costa Rica's absence and ex- pressing hope of overcoming the fin- ancial difficulties which necessitated a. curtai:ment of expenses, During. the Assembly," Argentina sent a cheque for 800,000 gold francs, the assessment for the present yeam The League also learns the participa- tion in the last Labor Conference and the payment of her dues is a pre-' liminary step toward a resumption of "Argentina's membership. The adhesion of Germany is entire- ly dependedt upon the success of the .. security. pact, but inasmuch as Ger- many's affiliation with the League is a prerequisite to the pact becoming effective, it is practically certain that Berlin will apply. Turkey, which has announced that she will apply for ad- mission if the" Mosul controversy is settled amicably, would be the fourth nation to join during the coming year.

When the Prince was visiting a small town | where a civic: welcome had been ar- ranged, a drunken man staggered up to him and said thickly: "] am the first cousin to the Arch- bishop of York." No one knew quite' what to do, but the Prince relieved' matters by quickly replying: "All 'right, old fellow, I won't tel him."

Moses B. Cotsworth, of Vancouver, director of the International Fixed, Calendar League, Saturday announced! receipt of mews from the committee that the unanimous assent of all the great church authorities had been se- cured to make this change. It is the first essential step accom- plished toward winning the more im- portant benefits of" calendar reform, , said Mr. Cotsworth. The proposed 13 ' month year will be a gain to all hu- manity, he said. The plan is to make the last day in oach year an international "year day," and dividing the 52 weeks in to 13 months. A new month "Sol" is proposed, to be made from the last two weeks of June and the first two weeks of July. Each month would consist of four complete weeks like February, 1925, and all times for earning and spend- ing wouid be equal or exact multiples "of each other.

As far as the fleet is concerned, it iswnly engaging in manoeuvres; the officials say. g Official spokesmen point out that the-Turkish move is nothing to cause uneasiness, but is merely in accord- ance with Turkish military policy for Unofficial observers, 'however, ex- press the opinion that "the Turks in calling up four classes to the colors are - making a gesture--possibly a iuff--with the idea of getting a fav- orable settlement of the Mosul ques- tion.
