By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C„ April wJ.—The
•fate department made publtc last night
the text of the revised covenant of
the League of Nations as It Is being
presented today to the plenary session
of the peace conference at Paris. The
text follows, with parenthetical Inser
tions showing changes made In the
Covenant originally drafted and made
public:'
"The covenant of the League of Na
tions:
S- "In order to promote International
cooperation and to achieve Interna
tional peace and security—by the ac
ceptance of obligations not to resort
to war; by the prescription of open,
Just and honorable relations between
nations; by the firm establishment of
the understandings of International law
as to actual rule of conduct among
governments, and by the maintenance
«f justice and a scrupulous respect for
all treaty obligations In the dealings of
organized peoples with one another—
the high contracting parties agree to
this covenant of the League of Na
tions.”
(In the original preamble the last
sentence read “adopt this constitution,"
instead of "agree to this covenant.”)
Article 1.
"The original members of the League
•of Nations shall be those of the signa
tories which are named In the annex to
this covenant and also such of those
other states name In the annex as shall
accede without reservation to this cove
nant. Such accessions shall be ef
fected by a declaration deposited with
the secretariat within two months of
the coming Into force of the covenant.
Notice thereof shall be sent to all other
members of the league.
“Any fully self governing staff, do
minion or colony not named in the
annex may become a member of the
_ t— league If Its admission is agreed to by
two-thirds of the assembly, provided
that it shall give effective guarantees
of Its sincere Intention to observe its
International obligations and shall ac
cept such regulations as may be pre
scribed by the league in regard to Its
military and naval forces and arma
ments.
“Any member of the league may,
After two years' notice of its inten
sion so to do, withdraw from the
league, provided that all Its Interna
tional obligations and all Its obligations
■ under this covenant shall have been
■.fulfilled at the time of its Withdrawal.’’
(This article is now embodying with
Alterations and additions the old article
7. It provides more specifically the
method of admitting new members and
adds the entirely new paragraph, pro
viding for withdrawal from the league.
No mention of withdrawal was made In
the original document).
Article 2.
“The action of the league under this
covenant shall be effective through the
instrumentality of an assembly and of
/A council, with permanent secretariat.”
(Originally, this was part of article
1. It gives the name of the assembly
to the gathering of representatives of
of the members of the league formerly
referred to merely as "the body of dele
gates.’’)
Article 3.
“The assembly shall consist of rep
resentatives of the members of the
league.
“The assembly shall meet at stated
Intervals and from time to time, as oc
casion may require, at the seat of the
league, or at such other place as may
be decided upon.
“The assembly may deal at its meet
ings with any matter within the sphere
■of action of the league or affecting the
peace of the world.
“At meetings of the assembly, each
member of the league shall have one
vote and may not have more than throe
representatives.”
(This embodies parts of the original
Articles 1, 2 and 3 with only minor
changes. It refers to “members of the
league," were the term “high contract
ing parties” originally was used, and
this change is followed throughout the
revised draft.)
Article 4.
"The council shall consist of repre
sentatives of the United States of
America, of the British empire, of
France, of Italy and of Japan, together
with representatives of four other
members of the league. These four
members of the league shall be select
ed by the assembly from time to time
In its discretion. Until the appoint
ment of the representatives of the four
members of the league first selected by
the assembly, representatives of
shall be members of the council.
“With the approval of the majority
of the assembly, the council may name
additional members of the league whose
representatives shall always be mem
bers of the council; the council with
like approval may increase the number
of members of the league to be selected
by the assembly for representation on
the council.
[‘The council shall meet from time to
time as occasion may require and at
least once a year, at the seat of the
league, or at such other place as may
be decided upon.
"The council may deal at its meet
ings with any matter within the sphere
of action of the league or affecting the
peace of the world.
"And member of the league not rep
resented on the council shall bo in
vited to send a representative to sit
as a member at any meeting of thp
■council during the consideration of
matters specially affecting the inter
ests of that member of the league.
"At meetings of the council, each
member of the league represented on
the council shall have one vote and
may have not more than one repre
sentative."
(This embodies that part of the or
iginal Article 3 designating the orig
inal members of the couneil. The par
agraph providing for Increase in the
membership of the council is new.)
Article 5.
"Except where otherwise expressly
provided In this covenant decisions at
any meeting of the assembly or of the
council shall require the agreement of
all, tt)» members of the league repre
sented at the meeting.
"All matters of procedure at meetings
•of the assembly or of the council, the
-appointment of committees to investi
gate particular matters shall be regu
.lated by the assembly or by the coun
sel! and may be decided by a majority
of the members of the league repre
sented at the meeting.
"The first meeting of the assembly
and the first meeting of the council
shall be summoned by the president of
the United States of America.”
(The first paragraph requiring unan
imous agreement In both assembly and
council, except where otherwise pro
vided. is new. The other two para
graphs originally were Included in Ar
ticle 4.
Article 6.
"The permanent secretariat shall be
astablished at the seat of the league.
The sercetariat shall comprise a sec
retary general and such secretaries and
staff as may be required.
"The first secretary-general shall be
the person named in the annex; there
after the secretary-eneral shall be ap
pointed by the council with the ap
proval of the majority of the assembly.
"The secretaries and the staff of the
secretariat shall be appointed by the
secretary general with the approval of
the council.
“The secretary general shall act In
that capacity at all meetings of the
assembly and of the council.
“The expenses of the secretariat
shall bo borne by the members of the
league in accordance with the appor
tionment of the expenses of the inter
national bureau of the universal postal
union.”
(This replaces the original article 6.
In the original the appointment of the
first secretary general was left to the
council, and approval of the majority
of the assembly was not required for
subsequent appointments.)
Article 7.
"Tho seat of tho league is established
at Geneva. The council may at any
time decide that the seat of the league
shall be established elsewhere. All
positions under, or inconnection with,
the league, including the secretariat,
shall be open equally to men and wom
en. Representatives of the members of
the league and officials of the league
when engaged on the business of the
league shall enjoy diplomatic privileges
and Immunities. The buildings and
other property occupied by the league
or its officials or by representatives at
tending its meetings shall be inviol
able.” '
(Embodying parts of the old articles
6 and 6, this article names Geneva in
stead of leaving the seat of the league
to be chosen later and adds the pro
vision for changing the seat in the
future. The paragraph opening posi
tions to women equally with men is
new.)
Article ».
"The members of the league recog
nize that the maintenance of a peace
requires the reduction of national arm
aments to the lowest point consistent
with national safety and the enforce
ment by common action of Interna
tional obligations.
"The council, taking account Of the
geographical situation and circum
stances of each state, shall formulate
plans for such reduction for the con
sideration and action of the several
governments.
“Such plans shall be subject to recon
sideration and revision at least every
10 years.
“After these plans shall have been
adopted by the several governments,
limits of armaments therein fixed shall
not bo exceeded without the concur
rence of the council.
“The members of the league agree
that the manufacture by private enter
prise of munitions and implements of
war is open to grave objections. The
council shall advise how the evil ef
fects attendant upon such manufac
ture can be prevented, due regard be
ing paid the necessities of those mem
bers of the league which are not able
to manufacture the munitions and im
plements of war necessary for their
safety.
1 “The members of the league under
take to Interchange full and frank in
formation as to the scale of their arma
ments, their military and naval pro
grams and the condition of such of
their Industries as are adaptable to
warlike purposes."
(This covers the ground of the orig
inal article S, but Is rewritten to make
It clearer that armament reduction
plans must be adopted by the nations
affected before they become effective.)
Article 9.
"A permanent commission shall be
constituted to advise the council on
the execution of the provisions of ar
ticles 1 and 8, and on military and
naval questions generally."
(Unchanged except for the Insertion
of the words “Article 1.”)
Article 10.
The members of the league undertake
to respect and preserve as against ex
ternal aggression the territorial Integ
rity and existing political independence
of all members of the league. In case
of any such aggression or in case of
any' threat of danger of such aggres
sion. the council shall advise upon the
means by which this obligation shall
be fulfilled.”
(Virtually unchanged.)
Article 11.
“Any war or threat of war whether
immediately affecting any of the mem
bers of the league or not, is hereby de
clared a matter of concern to the whole
league, and the league shall take any
action that may be deemed wise and
effectual to safeguard the peace of na
tions. In case any such emergency
should arise, the secretary general shall,
on the request of any member of the
j league, forthwith summon a meeting
of the council.
“It also is declared to be the funda
mental right of each member of the
league to bring to the attention of the
assembly or of the council any circum
stance whatever affecting International
relations yvnich threatens to disturb
either the peace or the good under
standing between nations upon which
peace depends.”
(In the original It was provided that
the “high contracting parties reserve
the right to take any action." etc.,
where the revised draft reads, “the
league shall take any action," etc.)
• Article 12.
“The members of the league agree
that If there should arise between
them any dispute likely lo lead to n
rupture, thev will submit the matter
either to arbitration or to Inquiry by
the council, and thev ngree in no case
to resort to war until three months
after the award by the arbitrators or
the report by the council.
‘In any case under this article the
award of the arbitrators shall be made
within a reasonable time, and the re
port of the council shall be made with
in six months after the submission of
the dispute."
(Virtually unchanged except that
some provision of the original are elim
inated for Inclusion In other articles.)
Article 13.
“The members of the league agree
that whenever any dispute shall arise
between them which they recognize to
be suitable for submission to arbitra
tion and which cannot be satisfactorily
settled by diplomacy, they will submit
the whole subject matter to arbitration.
Disputes as to the Interpretation of
the treaty, as to any question of In
ternational law, as to the existence of
any fact, which, If established, would
constitute a breach of any Interna
tional obligation, or as to the extent
and nature of the reparation to be
made for any such breach, are declared
to be among those which are generally
suitable for submission to arbitration.
For the consideration of any such dis
pute the court of arbitration, to which
the case is referred, shall be the court
agreed on by the parties to the dispute
or stipulated in any convention exist
ing between them.
“The members of the league agree
that they will carry out In full good
faith any award that may be rendered
and that they will not resort to war
against a member of the league which
complies therewith. In the event of
any failure to carry out such an award,
the council shall propose what steps
should be taken to give effect thereto.”
(Only minor changes In language.)
Article 14.
“The council shall formulate and
submit to the members of the league
for adoption plans for the establish
ment of a permanent court of Interna

which the parties thereto submit to It.
The court may also give an advisory
opinion upon any dispute or question
referred to it by the council or by the
asoembly.”
(Unchanged except for the addition
of the last sentence.)
Article 15.
“If there should arise between mem
bers of the league any dispute likely
to lead to a rupture, which Is not sub
mitted to arbitration as above, the
members of the league agree that they
will submit the matter to the council.
Any party to the dispute may effect
such submission by giving notice of the
existence of the dispute to the secre
tary general, who will make all nec
essary arrangements for a full Investi
gation and consideration thereof. For
this purpose the parties to the dispute
will communicate to the secretary gen
eral, as promptly as possible, state
ments of their case, all the relevant
facts and papers; the council may
forthwith direct the publication
thereof.
“The council shall endeavor to effect
a settlement of any dispute, and if
such effbrts are successful, a state
ment shall be made public giving such
facts and explanations regarding the
dispute, and terms of settlement there
of as the council may deem appropri
ate.
“If the dispute Is not thus settled,
the council either unanimously or by a
majority vote shall make and publish
a report containing a statement of the
facts of the dispute and the recom
mendations which are deemed Just and
proper In regard thereto.
“Any member of the league repre
sented in council may make public a
statement of the facts of the dispute
and of Its conclusions regarding the
same.
“If a report by the council Is unan
imously agreed to by the members
thereof, other than the representatives
of one or more of the parties to the
dispute, the members of the league
agree that they will not go to war with
any party to the dispute which com
plies with the recommendations of the .
report.
“If the council falls to reach a re
port which is unanimoualy agreed to by
the members thereof, other than the
representatives of one or more of the
parties to the dispute, the members
of the league reserve to themselves
the right to take such action as they
shall consider necessary for the main- :
tenance of right and Justice.
"It the dispute between the parties Is
claimed by one of them, and is found
by the council, to arise out of a matter
which by International law Is solely
within the domestic Jurisdiction of that
party, the council shall so report, and
shall make no recommendation as to Its
settlement. I
"The council may in any case unaer
this article refer the dispute to the as

ferred at the request of either party to
the dispute, provided that such request
be made within 14 days after the sub
mission of the dispute to the council.
“fn any case referred to the assem
bly all the provisions of this article
and of article 12 relating to the action
and powers of the council shall apply
to the action and powers of the assem
bly, provided that a report made by
the assembly, if concurred in by the
representatives of those members of
the league represented on the council
and of a majority of the other mem
bers of the league, exclusive in each
case of the representatives of the par
ties to the dispute, shall have the same
force ns a report by the council con
curred in by all the members thereof
other than the representatives of one
or more of the parties to the dispute.”
(T\c paragrapti specifically excluding
matters of “domestic jurisdiction"
from action by the council Is new'. In
the last sentence the words "if con
curred in by the representatives of
those members of the league represent
ed on the council." etc., have been
added.,)
Article 16.
“Should any member of the leagu"
resort to war In disregard of Its cove
nants under article* 12, 13 or 15, It shall
Ipso facto be deemed to have commit
ted an act of war against all other
members of the league, which hereby
undertake Immediately to subject It to
the severance of all trade or financial
relations, the prohibition of all Inter
course between their nationals and the
—-\
nationals of the covenant-breaking
I state and the prevention of all financial,
commercial or personal Intercourse
between the nationals of the covenant
breaking members of the league and
the nationals of any other state, wheth
er a member of the league or not.
It shall be the duty of the council
in such case to recommend to the sev
eral governments concerned what ef
fective military or naval forces the
members of the league shall severally
contribute to the armaments of forces
to be used to protect the covenants of
the league.
* The members of the league agree,
further, that they will mutually sup
port one another In the financial and
economic measures which are taken
under this article^ in order to minimize
the loss and inconvenience resulting
from the above measures, and that they
will mutually support one another in
resisting any specie 1 measures aimed
at one of their number by the cov
enant-breaking state, and that they
will take the necessary steps to afford
pass i . through their territory to the
forces of any of the members of the
league which are cooperating to pro
tect the covenants of the league.
"Any member of the league which
has violated any covenant of the league
may be declared to be no longer a
member of the league by a vote of the
council concurred in by the representa
tives of all the other members of the
league represented thereon."
(Unchanged except for the addition
of the last sentence.)
Artole 1),
"In the event of a dispute between a
member of the league and a state which
la not a member of the league, or be
tween states not members of tho
league, the state or states not mem
bers of the league shall be invited to
accept the obligations of membership
In the league for the purposes of such
dispute, upon such conditions as the
council may deem Just. If such Invi
tation Is accepted, the provisions of
Articles 12 to 16, Inclusive, shall be ap
plied, with such modifications as may
be deemed necessary by the council.
"Upon such invitation being given,
the council shall Immediately institute
an Inquiry into the circumstances of
the dispute and recommend such ac
tion as may seem best and most ef
fectual In the circumstances.
“If a state so Invited shall refuse to
accept the obligations of membership
In the league for the purposes of such
dispute, and shall resort to war against
a member of the league, the provisions
of article 16 shall be applicable as
against the state taking such action.
"If both parties to the dispute, when
so Invited, refuse to aocept the obliga
tions of membership In the league for
the purposes of such dispute, the coun
cil may tako such measures and make
such recommendations as will prevent
hostilities and will result In the settle
ment of the dispute.”
(Virtually unchanged.)
Article 18.
"Every convention or international
engagement entered Into henceforward
by any member of the league shall be
forthwith registered with the secre
tariat and shall as soon as possible be
registered by it. No such treaty or
international engagement shall be bind
ing until so registered.”
(Same as original article.)
Article 19.
"The assembly may from time to
time advise the reconsideration by
members of the league of treaties which
have become inapplicable, and the con
sideration of International conditions
whose continuance might endanger the
peace of the world."
(Virtually the same as original arti
cle 24.)
Artiols 20.
"The members of the league severally
agree that this covenant Is accepted as
abrogating all obligations or undertak
ings inter, ss which are Inconsistent
with thA^tetfeis thereof, and so under
take th'atjthey will not hereafter enter
Into anyjjptgbenrents Inconsistent with
the terms ‘tht&eof,
"In case members of the league shall,
before becoming a member of the

"To those colonies and territories
which as a consequence of the late war
have ceased to be under the sovereign
ty of the state which formerly governed
them and which are inhabited by peo
ples not yet able to stand by theni
setves under the strenuous conditions
of the modern world, there should be
applied tlie* principle that the well be
ing and development of such peoples
form a sacred trust of civilization and
that securities for the performance of
tilts trust should be embodied in this
covenant.
"The best method of giving practic
able effect to this principle is that the
tutelage of such peoples be entrusted
to advanced nations who, by reasons
of their resources, their experience or
their geographical position, can beet
undertake this responsibility and who
are willing to accept it, and that this
tutelage should be exercised by thejn
as mandatories on behalf of the league.
“The character of the mandate must
differ according to the stage of the
development of the people, the geo
graphical situation of the territory, lie
economic condition and other similar
circumstances.
“Certain communities formerly be
longing to the Turkish empire have
reached a stage of development where
their existence a« Independent nation
can bo provisionally recognized eubje.
to the rendering of administrative a.
vise and assistance by a mandatoi
until such time as they are able to
stand alone. The wishes of these com
munities must be a principal consid
eration In the selection of the manda
tory.
Other peoples, especially those of
central Africa, are at such a stage that
the mandatory must be responsible for
the administration of the territory un
der conditions which will guarantee
freedom of conscience or religion sub
ject only to the maintenance of publio
order and morals, the prohibition of
abuses such as the slave trade, the
arms traffic and the liquor traffic and
the prevention of the establishment of
fortifications and military and naval
bases and of military training of the
nations for other than police purposes
and the defense of territory, and will
also secure equal opportulntles for the
trade and commerce of other member*
of the league.
‘There are territories such as south
west Africa and certain of the South
Pacific Islands, which, owing to the
sparseness of their population or their
small size or their remoteness from
the centers of civilization or their geo
graphical contiguity to the territory of
the mandatory and other circum
stances can be best administered under
the laws of the mandatory as Integral
portions of Its territory subjeot to the
safeguards above mentioned In the In
terests of the indigenous population.
In every case of mandate, the manda
tory shall render to the council an an
nual report in reference to the terri
tory committed to Its charge.
‘‘The degree of authority control, or
administration to be exercised by the
mandatory, shall. If not previously i
agreed upon by the members of the
league be explicitly defined in each
case by the council.
**A permanent commission shall be
constituted to receive and examine the
annual report* of the mandatories and
to advise the council on all matters re
lating to the observance of the man
dates.”
(This Is the original article 19. vir
tually except for the Insertion of the
words “and who are wilting to accept"
In describing nations to be given man
dator lee.)
Article 23.
"Subject to and in accordance with
the provisions of International conven
tions existing or hereafter to be agreed
upon the members of the league (a) will
endeavor to secure and maintain fair
and humane conditions of labor for
men, women and children both In their
own countries and In all countries to
which their commercial and industrial
relations extend and for that purpose
will establish and maintain the neces
sary International organizations: (b)
Undertake to secure Just treatment of
the native Inhabitants of territories un
der their control; (c) will entrust the
league with the general supervision
over the execution of agreements with
regard to the traffic in women and
children and the traffic In opium and
other dangerous drugs; (d) will entrust
the league with the general supervision
of the trade in arms and ammunition
with the countries In which the con
trol of this traffic Is necessary in the
common Interest; (e) will make pro
vision to secure and maintain freedom
of communication and transit and
equitable treatment for the commerce
of all members of the league. In this
connection the special necessities of
the regions devastated during the war
of 1914-1918 shall be In mind: (f) will
endeavor to take steps In matters of
International concern for the preven
tion and control of disease.”
(This replaces the original article 20,
and embodies parts of the original
articles 18 and 21. It eliminates a
specific provision formerly made for a
bureau of labor and adds the clauses
fb) and (c).
Article 24.
"There shall be placed under the
direction of the league all international
bureaus already established by general
treaties If the parties to such treaties
consent. AU such International bureaus
and all commissions for the regulation
of matters of International interest
hereafter constituted shall be placed
under the direction of the league.
“In all matters of International In
terest which are regulated by general
conventions, but which are not placed
under the control of International bu
reaus or commissions, the secretary
of the league shall, subject to the con
sent of the council and if desired by the
parties, collect and distribute all rel
evant Information and shall render any
other assistance which may be neces
sary or desirable.
“The council may Include as part of
the expenses of the secretariat the ex
penses of any bureau or commission
which Is placed under the direction of
th» league.”
(Same as article 22 In the original,
with the matter after the first two
sentences added.)
Article 25.
“The members of the league agree to
encourage and promote the establish
ment and cooperation of duly author
ized voluntary national Ited Cross or
ganizations having as purpose im
provement of health, the prevention of
disease, and the mitigation of suffering
throughout the world."
(Entirely new.)
Article 26.
“Amendment to this covenant will
take effect when ratified by the mem
bers of the league whose representa
tives compose the council and by a
majority of the members of the league
whose representatives compose the as
sembly.
“Such amendments shall (the word
“not" apparently omitted In cable
transmission) bind any member of the
league, which signifies Its dissent
therefrom, but in that case it shall
cease to be a member of the league."
(Same as the original, except that
a majority of the league instead of
three-fourths is required for ratifica
tion of amendments with the last sen
tence added.)

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be
ing advertised for the purpose of making
'bln people fleshy, developing arms, neck
nd bust, and replacing ugly hollows ang
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually duo
to starved nerves. Our bodies need mors
phosphate than Is contained in modem
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
1 tha organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bltro-phosphate, which is inex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly ang
by supplying the body cells with the nsces
sary phosphoric food elements, bltro-phos
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation In the appearance; the lnoreaaa
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase In weight also carries wltN
It a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack ox
energy, which nearly always accompany
exoesslve thinness, soon disappear,
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION;—Although bltro-phospbat#
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousneaa
sleeplessness and general weakness, (ft
should not, owing to Its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyoaa
who does not desire to put on flesh.
