League of Nations Assembly Is
Trying to Find Some Way
to Save Armenia.
AMERICA ASKED TO MEDIATE
Balfour Suspects Plan to Recognize
Kemal Pasha Poles and Bolshe
vlkl Resume Negotiations
Affairs In Greece Murders
and Reprisals In Dublin.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
What shall be done to save Armenia?
Thnt Is the question thnt absorbed
much of the attention of the League
of Nations assembly last week, nnd It
Is not yet solved, nor, apparently, in
the wny of being solved. The Armeni
an problem was forced on the atten
tion of the assembly by the repeated
questions of members of delegations
whose countries would not be Involved,
and the representatives of the grenter
powers were compelled to take It up.
The net result, so far, Is the appoint
ment of a commission which will ex-
nmlnc the Armenian sltuntlon. Sir
Robert Cecil, South Africa, Is Its chair-
man, nnd the other members nre : Sen
ator Henri La Fontaine, Belgium ; Doc
tor Frldjof Nnnsen, Norway; Honorlo
Puoyrredon, Argentina; Slgnor Schan
z, Italy, nnd Itene Vlvlnnl, France.
In the course of the debate Vivian!
proposed that tho league council
should seek some government which
will medlntc for Armenia with the
Turkish nationalists and try to ob
tain a cessation of hostilities. The
council thereupon cabled to President
Wilson asking the United States to
act as mediator In the case, pointing
out thnt although the senate had re
jected the mnndnte for Armenia, a
new situation had arisen nnd n new
solution wns possible. The United
States Is not asked to send an expe
ditionary force and only a small out
lay of money will be necessary, since
wo are asked merely to represent Ar
menia by entering negotiations toward
ending wnrfare with Kemnl I'asha.
It Is believed in Geneva that the Na
tionalist leader would welcome Amer
ica as mediator because the llxlng
of the boundaries of Armenia was
left to President Wilson.
M. Vlvlnnl declared that the Unit
ed Slates would be tho most logical
power to represent Armenia In the
proposed negotiations, and that tho
fact that It was not n member of the
league would not Interfere. Some cor
respondents saw In all this talk an
endeavor to "luro" the United States
Into the league. Mr. Halfour saw more
than this In the French plan. He be
lieved It was the beginning of an ef
fort to tear up the treaty of Sevres
with Turkey and to deprive flreece of
thu territory given her by that pact;
also that It was designed flrst to rec
ognize Mustapha Kemnl Pnshn. He
demnnded whether the Kemnllsts
would be offered money or territory as
a bribe to cease attacking the Armeni
ans, and said Kemnl was entirely In
different about the lengue's opinion;
furthermore, he did not believe a
mnndntory power for Armenia could
be found anywhere In tho world, and
said the league could not send nn ex
pedition Into Asia Minor unless It was
under tho control of somo trenty sign
ing power.
Various delegates asserted their be
lief that the Unltvd States would now
accept the mandate and furnish the
expeditionary force, which, according
to Doctor Nnnsen of Norway, would
require 00,000 men and $ 100,000.000.
High French otlkials In Paris said on
Wednesday that Frnnce would- nxt
send a man or spen'l n franc on an
Armenian mniidnte,' but Intimated1 (hat

with the position tnkeu by the Unit
ed Stntes administration some weeks
"go.
The league council decided to limit
the scope of policing operations to tho
Vllnn region nnd to keep the league
"army" down to 1,800 men. Of these
Spain, will supply 300, Sweden 100,
Frnnce at least 1,000, nnd Grent P.rlt
nln and Belgium smnll detnehments.
Holland nnd Swltzerlnnd refused to
participate.
Peace negotiations between Poland
and soviet Russia were resumed after
a lapse that threatened the renewal
of active hostilities. The Poles, how
ever, consented to withdraw their
troops to the armistice lino. Moscow
notified Llthuuniu that the Red forces
would have to occupy Vllnn, which Is
still In the hands at General Zellgou
skl. The soviet government has now
pretty nearly cleared Russia of all
Its active opponents. Petlura's troops
have about all escaped from the Uk

armed there, and now It Is nnnounccd

Siberia has collapsed entirely. His
last base has been taken by the Reds,

Unless the temper of, the Greek peo
ple changes, they will vote, on Decem
ber 5, for the return of Constnntlne
to the throne. This will be the logi
cal outcome of the victory of Gounarls
and Rhnllls In the election. However,
the new government Is placed In a
somewhat uncomfortable position, for
to restore the ex-klng will be to alien
ate France nnd possibly Greut Brlt
nln. The former has warned Greece
thnt It will withdraw Its material and
moral support, but It Is not known
certainly whnt attitude Lloyd George
will nssume. The Greek newspnpers
fnvornble to Constnntlne assert thnt
Grent Britnln Is willing to recognize
the right of Greece to mnnnge her
own nffnlrs nnd thnt King George Is
In eonstnnt communication with Con
stnntlne nnd hns nssented to his re
turn to the throne.
Of course, Rhnllls nnd his confreres
are most worried over the possible ef
fect of the restoration on Greece's
adventure In Asia Minor. They can
hardly hope to maintain their army
there against the Turkish nntlonnllsts
nnd the Arabs without the nctlve co
operation of the entente allies, nnd,
too, they rely on the British to sup
ply the money needed for the occupa
tion. It Is said by them that Venlz
ellsts left the treasury empty, de
stroyed quantities of documents and
loft Athens without Informing their
successors of the state of business In
the various departments.
Queen Mother Olga, tho regent,
staged a triumphal return last week
for two of Constantlne's brothers,
Prince Andreas and Prince Christo
pher. They wore received by enthusi
astic crowds nnd escorted to the pal
ace. The same day the foreign news
paper correspondents made formal
complaint that the press censorship
was being continued and that their
dispatches were suppressed or de
layed. Rhnllls nnd Gounarls made ex
planations and promised all restric
tions should be removed.
Paris had press dispatches from
Smyrna saying the Greek army In
Asia Minor was split Into two camps,
one for and one against Const.-.ntlne,
and that lighting between them al
ready hud broken out. Some of the
troops were said to be demobilizing
themselves, declaring they were done
with the war against the Turks.
Sunday, November 21, was a day of
bloodshed and terror In Dublin. The
Sinn Fein assassins early In the dny
put Into execution a deliberate plan
of murder, calling 14 British officers
or fonnffr officers to their doors and
shooting them dead. About Blxty oth
ers wero wounded In theso attacks.
The black and tans got Into action
nt once, mnklng ninny arrests. Then
they forcibly entered Croke park,
where 15,000 persons Were watching
n football game, and, being hooted and
attacked, fired on the crowd. Several
scorp of persons were killed and many
wounded before the wild combat .nded.
Of course more murders and more re
prisals followed, and the military took
possession of the city. Numerous ar
,u ji .... .
rests were made by them and quantl
ties of documents sold to be Incrlm
Inntlng seized.
Though attacked bitterly by the op
position press nnd members of parli
ament for this Dublin affair as well
as for Its Irish policy generally, the
government defended Its position with
extraordinary tenacity, and to support
It made public captured documents
which were sold to expose Sinn Fein
plots for a campaign of terrorism In
England, Including assassinations nnd
the destruction of property by dyna
mite and fire. In the house of com
mons Wednesday night Lloyd George
scored a notnble victory. Former Pre
mier Asqul'th moved a resolution ex
pressing abhorrence of the Dublin ns
snsslnatlons and condemning the re
prisals and urging Immediate steps
to pacify Ireland. Col. John Wnrd by
an amendment changed the motion
Into an expression of admiration for
the courage of the crown forces in
Ireland, and this was adopted by a
vote of 803. to 83, amid the cheers of
the government's supporters.
An echo of the Irish trouble wns
heard In New York Thanksgiving dny,
when nn nntl-Engllsh mob undertook
to sack the Union club on Fifth ave
nue. On the club building wns flying
the American flag between British and
French flags, and the manager was
asked to remove the British emblem.
He complied, but later the flag was re
placed, and then the mob attacked the
building, breuklng all Its windows
and destroying most of Its paintings
nnd furnishings before the police
could disperse It.
The Amerlcnn commission on condi
tions In Ireland Is hearing mnny wit

It has to do with the laying of cer
tain cables at Btscayne bay, Miami,
Flu., permission for which was grant
ed some time ago. Connected with it
was the attempt to lnnd a cable from
Barbados, which the Navy department
prevented. The compnny thereupon
declined to carry further messages for
the State department at reduced rates,
and the Navy department threatened
to destroy the bay cable If the con
struction work'wus not stopped. The
company applied for on Injunction to
restrain Secretary Daniels' from In
terfering with the work, nnd the next
day Secretary of War Baker revoked
the permit for the laying of the ca
bles. The courts must now decide the
entire matter.

PRICE OF MILK IS TOO HIGH-
Surplus in the Country, Says Farm.
Bureau Secretary.
Chlcngo, 111 There Is n big surplus
of milk In the country nnd milk prices
generally should be lower thnn they
nre, J. W. Covcrdnle, secretnry of the
American farm bureau federation,
said here In explanation of the feder
ation's call for a national conference
of milk producers. The conference,
he said, alms to work out ome better
method of marketing milk nnd will
consider the possibilities of co-oper
ation.
"A number of condenseries abso
lutely refuse to buy milk and many
producers don't know whnt to do with,
n lnrge part of their supply," Mr. Cov
erdale said. 'In New York stnte pro
ducers have put up several of their
own condenseries nnd have bought
several more that have closed. The.y
propose to can their milk nnd let It
Iny on the shelves until the time when
the public will wnnt It. There Is so
much milk without a demand for It
that I think milk could be sold for less
nnd still pay out. People would use
more of It. Some of the people are
not using ns much milk ns they should.
