Massed on each side of the concourse were hundreds of Boy Scouts, each carrying a large American flag.

When the Governor -elect reached the front of the crowded stand there was a roar of welcome from thousands massed in State street; and the new Governor bowed repeatedly. Dozens of men as the Governor passed their places reached out and insisted on shaking with the Governor-elect. It hands, o'clock when Chief Justice J.

WAR COUNCIL TAKE UP PROBLEM OF RUSSIA William Philip Simms, (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Paris, Jan. Supreme War Council--the" steering committee" of peace. congress- again took up the Russian problem today. Representatives of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan resumed their hearings in the Quai D'Orsay on the subject of representation and possible recognition, of the various factions now controlling Russia. H.

Scavenius, former Danish Ambassador to Petrograd, one of the last diplomats to leave Russia, was heard. His country was one of the last of neutrals to break off relations with the Soviet government. It was believed that, under the circumstances, his testimony would closely parallel that of Joseph Noulens, the French Embassador to Russia, who appeared before the Council yesterday. Noulens' statement was made public but shortly after his return from Archangel he gave out an interview in which he declared that any form of recognition of the Bolsheviki was impossible. The date for resumption of the full peace congress had not been set this morning, although it was believed in some circles, that the council might dispose business in time to permit a general session in the afternoon.
