KNEVA, Switzerland, is to be capital of the League of Nations--if there Is a league of nations. It seems rather an appropriate selection. The city is cosmopolitan and has historical, literary and philosophical traditions in keeping with the purpose of the league. Switzerland has preserved its neutrality is a way to be above suspicion. And fiaaKy the Swiss Confederation is in Itself a sort uf League of Nations. From the'practical viewpoint the city of Geneva is attractive, not too large, and centrally located for many of the members of the league. In fact, the enthusiasts say that considering Geneva's past, its long history full of struggles nad Buffering through which it won its freedom, it weald.appear that from all time this city has been predestined to become the capital of the intangible kingdom of all free peoples, united to defend, not only their rights and liberty, but also the rights innd liberty of others. H»e requirements for a location stipulated fifteen hundred meters along the edge of the lake, embracing large properties; a port .for hydroplanes, facing the Alps and having access by land and Water. Within the walls of the small territorial flhitriet of Geneva, amid the country adorned with paifes and decked with gardens, several estates .were available to the representatives of the different nations. Ihe parish of Genthod, about four miles out from the town, perhaps the more readily fulfills these conditions. Genthod. one of the oldest villages, was a part of the bishop of Geneva's property. In 1535 it became the property of the republic and is inclosed in the land that the Bernese • took from the duke of Savoy. An -unusually beautiful spot, looking down upon the lake from time immemorial, it has bean a chosen place for, the Genevans. ~ In the tenth century the noblemen replaced the country house of their forefathers by beautiful ecttates; gardens were laid out and planted. Two of these eatatos with the houses intact, rendered ail the more beautiful by the passing of time, with Hvemies and venerable woods, were first chosen. The Creux de Genthod belongs to the family de (SmflHure and the de Pourtales estate. The Bartholin ti estate adjoining was added; it is occupied by a large modern house called the Chateau- Rovge. On the other side is the property yf Elward Naville, the Egyptologist, temporary president of the International Red Cross. Spacious grounds that belonged to the estate of the naturalist and philosopher Charles Bonnet, were also secured. Incidentally, one of the eighteenth century houses on the Bonnet property was taken stone by stone to Geneva and scrupul «wl> reconstructed. Crowning this long hillock with its gentle slopes Is a plateau inclined toward the Jura mountains, the crest line which fills the fcorison. This presents a magnificent panorama for a distance of over a mile along the lake shore, and a wfle and a ha|f inland, half of the township of 43eathod. bounded on the north by the Versoix river and on the softh by s-road anrifc^rossed by the tlenevs-Berne failrokd and the route to Lanmnne, *n»e most ancient of these estates, and the most Hjnmnetrical. is the Creux de Gentiiod. It was fcuilt by Ami Lullin, theologian, professor and collector of rare manuscripts. Blondel. the great French architect, drew the plans. In 1728 he planned the gardens and park. This house became the property of the naturalist, Horce Benedict de $atn»ure, who married the granddaughter of Ami • De Saussure's house adjoined that of hi* W2&Z, . UOt-le, Charles Bonnet. De Siiussure, tilled with a passionate love for the high Alps, the outline of whlcji he gazed at every day, went exploring, climbing Mont Blanc, writing his "Voyages dans les AI pes" (1779-17KU). His daughter, who became Madame Necker de Saussure, grew up in this delightful atmosphere. Charles Bonnet continued to carry out his study of nature, and when he lost his sight gave up his time to philosophical problems, strengthening his scholars' belief in an after life. Haller used to come from Berne to work with him. Learned men and scholars caine from nil parts of Europe to visit them. In this way the small circle of (WH.KKI, passiMB* ately interested in scientific culture nnd Christian philosophy, became a European center in direct opposition to the one ut Iferney, where Voltaire derided the austereness of Geneva and tried his best to destroy it. After the death of Charles Bonnet his property 'returned to the de Ittve family, which was connected* with Madame de Stael (177(1-1X17). Her house is near Genthod, and Corrinne came often on fine summer days to sit on the terrace of the philosopher and writer. The de Pourtales house was built about 1750 by Jean Louis Suladln, a diplomat of Geneva attached, to the court of Louis XV, who as a. mark of appreciation gave him his full-length portrait in oils. The de Saladin house Is on a height aiid command* a wide view <»f the lake. It is to be seen in the" center of two broad avenue" with its. simple gray front, its semicircular outbuildings, all magnificently located. Beyond the fields that slope gently aire the trees of the Creux de Genthod, the rare species that Ami Lullin had collected at a great cost, . chestnuts that were brought from Lyons In carts, immense vistas of foliage, wonderful tree architecture infolding the old French garden. Along the walks where the two scholars medl- ; toted, around that house of pure lines, the meeting place of so many distinguished men. a breath of European thought &eems to tloat in (his Genevan ' atmosphere, say the enthusiasts. An intimate communion seems to unite all these grand and simple? homes to the grand old trees, the gentle distant slopes behind which nppear the Alps, the lotig, clear stretch of lake. To all this vista, at the saihe time so big and so complete that it would seem -Impossible to destroy this incomimrable harmony T-certainly these homes and historical grounds will remain as they are and the new buddings wgl , be erected inland on the plateau. Geneva is nn old, old city. Its origin is lost !•"" antiquity, but it was of sufficient Importance In Caesar's time to he mentioned in his "Com- ( meBtares." It was early the seat of a bishopric. ' It was one of the capitals of the Burgundians. In 'the sixth century it passed to the Franks. In the eleventh century It became incorporated with the German empire. About that time the temporal was added to the spiritual i»wer of the bishops. The dukes of Savoy began to encroach on the temporal power and at the same time the burghers took a hand In affairs. The struggles between the dukes of Savoy and the citizens ended in favor of the latter in the early jtoya of the sixteenth century. Geneva is the capital of the canton of Geneva. It contains possibly flO.tXM) perip'o--a little over 100.000 with Its suburbs-- nnd the canton has a imputation' of about l.'lfi.OOO. There ure 22 cantons, with a total population of about 8.3.r>0,000. The llomans made themselves masters of the country in the first Century, B. C. Their dominion lusted about four cen- **•' turies. A succession of masters followed. When It became a part of. Ihe German (Holy ltotnun) empire In the eleventh century it was a hodge-podge of l»ett.v states ruled by dukes, i*ounfs, Wshops and abbots, together with little city-states. The beginning of the confederation of cantons >vns in the thirteenth century. In 127C Hudolph of Ilapsburg, Holy Itoinnn emperor, s«>cnred control of the duchy of Austria and threatened the liberties of the Swiss. To resist its aggressions the three forest cantons of IJrl-, Schwyz and I'nterwaldeu In 1201 entered Into a league. In the fourteenth century five other cantons joined. The house of Iiupshurg found the mountaineers invincible. At the close of the middle ages the connection' of Switzerland with the German empire came virtually to an end. The confederation was enlarged by fresh accessions. In the sixteenth century, as stated, Geneva shook off the authority of the dukes of Savoy and of the bishops. After the reformation In the peace of Westphalia (1(MS) Switzerland was formally declared lnde|iendent of the German empire. In 17*.(8 the French occupied the country and established the Helvetic republic. In 1808 Napoleon restored the cantonal confederation Mini new cantons were added, The congress of Vienna in 1815 decreed the„ perpetual neutrality .of Switzerland.

It is beautifully situated at the southwest end of I.ake Geneva, which here narrows and 1 tours out .Into the Rhone, which Is shortly joined by the Arve. The Rhone Is crossed by nine fine bridge* which join the old town on the left bank, with the principal residence quarter of the foreign colony on the right hank. There are many fine structures of interest. The College de St. Antoine. founded by Calvin, has nearly 2.000 students, over half of whom are^forelgners. Geneva Is noted as an educational center. The Cathedral of S.. Peter is Byzantine li\ <haracter and is said to have been built in 1124. The botanical gardens ure interesting. There are severaj museums, including Ihe Mnsee ltatin; the Fol museum, with collections of <ireek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities; the Aiheneuui, devoted to the fine arts, and the Mysetim of Natural History, containing de Saussure'a geological collection. The He Jean Jauques Rousseau attracts many visitors. Tourists are shown the house of Calviw. on. whom the possibly el»lef "historical fame of the city rests. Lake Geneva Is one of the beatify spots of the world. It is about 4o miles long and is eight miles Wide at lis place of greatest width.
