Hughes, former secretary of state, who polled 551 votes- -six more than needed-against 440 for Fess.

FARMERS BANK BUILDING, LEBANON. to The Indianapolis LEBANON, April fireman was injured, others had narrow 'escapes from falling walls and floors, and property loss was estimated at $100,000 when fire of unknown origin swept the threestory Farmers State bank building here early today. The loss is shared by the owners of the building and eighteen tenants, and is covered by. $60,700 insurance. The alarm was turned in shortly before 3 a.

m. and when firemen arrived at scene the elevator shaft. near the middle of the building, was a mass of flames. Calls were sent to Frankfort and Indianapolis for aid. The latter sent two squads, the first of which made the run to Lebanon in thirty minutes.

The prompt work of the firemen saved an entire block of office buildings. Paul Crawford, Lebanon fire chief, was taken to a local hospital with cuts and bruises about the arms and shoulders, and the lives of several firemen were imperiled when part of a wall two floors crashed. The flames on were brought under control about 9 a. and only the walls remained of the fine stone structure. The bank transacted business in an empty storeroom today.

The building will be rebuilt immediately, it was said. The bank's loss of $47,000 is entirely covered by insurance. Students Discuss World Problems In Mock League of Nations Meeting BY JOHN B. MASON, Butler, '26, Carnegie Fellow in International Law, University of Wisconsin. CHICAGO, April 21.

Two hundred students from twenty-one colleges and universities met at Mandell hall, University of Chicago, Thursday and yesterday for a two-day meeting of a model assembly of the League of Nations. Representing the fifty-five nations which are members of the league, each delegate had made a special study of problems which 'confront the league today and are likely to arise in the near future, from the point of view of the particular country which they represented during these two days. American students were thus given an opportunity to think themselves into the attitude of foreign countries, caused by particular conditions, often very different from ours, and which often are unknown or misunderstood, perhaps even misrepresented in this as in other parts of the world. A better understanding of the other side of international questions, as well as of the strength or weaknesses of our own standpoint are problems that concern the whole civilized world, or at least growing realization of the difficulties involved should result from such attempts to gain a wider outlook. Indiana Sends Delegation.

Large universities as well as small colleges from Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin sent student delegations to the Chicago meeting. The schools represented following: University university, of University Chicago, of Northwestern pauw university, Lake Forest university, Morton Jr. college, Valparaiso university, North Central college, Illinois State Normal university, University of Wisconsin, Lewis institute, Augustana college, Marquette university, Rockford college, Loyola, university, Washington university, Illinois Women's college, Shurtleff college, Monmouth college, Bradley Polytechnic institute, and Crane college. Women students were almost as men which fact served to emphasize numerous among the delegates as importance of the woman of today in making history, and her ability and growing willingness to take upon herself duties which until a recent timen were considered the domain of only. Miss Zelda Robbins, a student at the University of Chicago, for months directed preparations for this interstate student meeting, and to her managing ability and industry grateful recogni- tion is due on the part of the delegates and visitors to this assembly.

When the vote was taken it was shown that American students of world politics who were present believed a large majority of the states members of the league would admit soviet Russia as a member. The Austrian delegation proposed that the French mandate over Syria be given to Germany. The student members of the German delegation were, however, not willing to rob France of the fruits of her long labors in Syria. They felt it would be very unwise to transfer the mandate at this time. The question of disarmament, of the revision of the treaty of Trianon between Hungary and the allies, a and of the protection of Nicaraguan integrity and independence under article of the covenant of the League of Nations were topics of the last day's meeting.
