NORTH DAKOTAN IN NEW WORK IN WORLD LEAGUE

Minot, N. D., May 21.—Howard Huston of Minot, alumnus of the University of North Dakota, and Huntington Gilchrist of Auburn, N. Y., are two American members of a committee appointed by the League of Nations to see that the work of Geneva, Switzerland, shall not be needlessly interfered with by sightseers this summer according to a news dispatch received here. Mr. Huston is chief of the internal services of the league.

League officials say they are willing that visitors, including Americans, shall have an opportunity of seeing the League at work, when such visitors really are interested and desire to gather information. However, they declare that there has been too much "open house" in the past for all comers, and in consequence curious idlers have interfered with the work of the personnel.

Mr. Huston visited various North Dakota points during a tour several months ago and warmly championed the League of Nations and contended it has done much good work.
