League Council Thanks Wilson ' For lilediation President's Offer to Attempt Arbitration Becrived With Evidence of . Liveliest Sat isfaclion, Report. Geneva, Dec. lBy The Asso ciated Press.) A letter to President Wilson accepting his offer to act as mediator in Armenia was being drafted by the council of the'league of nations here today. Mr. Wilson's note, which was received thts morning,- was read to members of the council at 10:30 o'clock and was re ceived with evidence of liveliest sat isfaction. President Wilson's acceptance created a great impression when it was announced today, "Poor old Europe will feel less abandonment," was a remark made by a member of the French delega tion while discussing the matter. The news gave the assembly great relief, as Jhe Armenian question had be come the bugbear of the assembly. . Discuss Mediation Form. There is much speculation, as to what form the mediation of Armenia will take. A. J. Balfour, a leader of the.. British delegation, remarked to the assembly the other day that in order to negotiate it would be nec essary to offer Mustapha Kemal, chief of the Turkish nationalists, something, either money orerri tory, and this remark is recalled in connection with Mr. Wilson's known opposition to the disposition made of some parts of the territory of Tur key by the Sevres treaty. Prediction is made here that, irf the. end, the Greeks may pay the pru lor saving wnat remains ot tne Armenian people. "President Wilson's action is a big step toward a solution of one of the most serious problems before the as sembly," was the way Lord Robert Cecil characterized the American president's acceptance. . . 1 Relieves Bad Situation. "That is wonderful news," he de clared when the information was given him. "It brings relief to. all of us who are trying to find a way to ;help the Armenians out of the difficulty. IXt. Wilson's acceptance is commendable and worthy of the best, traditions of the United States, which have always been a friend of Armenia and taken the lead in alle viating its sufferings.- "The decision of President Wilson Is not in any sense political, from my viewpoint, and cannot give encour agement to all those who wish to see the.

When he heard 'the ;news today, however, he beanied.-with joy. "We have found,' the wan" he cried, "and the rest will Je easy" ; May IvtiA.istarice. that Spain atid'Bfaiil had offered to join' President-Wilson in his role of Armenian mediator. This offer has been enjftodied in the reply to Mr. , Wilson trained Jty the council. , J. he reply to the "American presi dent, it was statedi expresses deep appreciation .of the . president's ac- ceptance. A he allied nigh commis sioners at Constantinople, it says, are being consulted as to the best way for Mr. Wilson to proceed. The council, it is added, believes there will be no great difficulty about .the president's mediators con ferring with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader, who has been making war upon the Ar menians. The offer of Spain and Brazil to join' in the mediation came during this morning's session of the council. That body left it to President Wil son to decide .if he -desired this co operation. After discussion of the note in the council meeting this afternoon it will go forward to Washington in thcl- early evening. ' Suspects in Robbery - Will Be Extradited (Continued From 1'age One.)

City Mail Delivery Is Sought in Piatt smou th Plattsmouth, Neb., Dec. 1. (Spe cial.) Citizens and business men are uniting to obtain city mail de livery service in Plattsmouth. A number of years ago a similar move met with failure, partially on ac count of poor sidewalk facilities in some parts of. town and partially because many of the merchants re fused to endorse it. believing that on account of the far-f?tched scope of residence, it would be good for busi ness interests to compel everyone to come down town daily after their mail. Since then the receipts of the office have grown so far as to clearly entitle it to city . delivery service New sidewalks have been built in even the more remote resi dence sections.

L Considers' Establishment Of University . v Interest of Labor In Educa tional Facilities Evidenced by' Formation of Many 'Trade Union Colleges.' Chicago, Dec. 1. Organized la bor's' interest in educational facili ties of its own, illustrated by the au thorization of a committee by the American Federation of Labor to study the possibilities of a central labor university, is evidenced in the formation of trade union collges in a number of the large cities of the country and elsewhere in other educationalentergrise,' according to Charles is. Stillma'n, president ot the American federation of leachers Among the trade union colleges established are those at : Boston, Washington, Philadelphia arid Seat tle Mr. Stfllman said. In New York City he said the La dies' Garment Workers'' union had secured the co-operation of the "Boand of Education in providing school rooms and teachers and had supplied a number of lecturers of their own. More recently, he added, various unions there have united in developing this educational work on a larger scale. Co-Operate Wir Schools. In?Ch icaeo the schools committee of the Chicago Federation of LaDor and the educational committee of the Women's Trade Union league are co-operating with the Board of Education, . holding classes once a week at the rooms o7 the offices of the Women's Trade Union league.

"The increasing interest in the es tablishment of labor colleges is a ery hopeful sign in this reconstruc tion period," Mr. Stillman said. lhere is the most urgent need tor trained civic and industrial intelli gence. Organized labor has always recognized this, as is shown by its igoroiis part m the creation and de clopment of our public school sys tem. . Courses Are Varied. 'But hundreds of thousand! of workers have been prevented by economic reasons trom continuing their education as far as "they de sired. The night school classes of the public schools partially meet the tuation tor large numbers, but often the special subjects and char acter of instruction needed can be provided only by the workers them selves, in co-operation with mem bers of public school, college and university faculties. 'Courses in English, literature, public speaking, history (political and industrial), civics and citizen ship, labor legislation, history of the labor movement, economics, mathe matics, sanitation and social hygiene have proved most in demand. "The movement has already dem onstrated not only that labor will extend this educational work under its own auspices, but that the public schools will broaden their educa tional facilities for adults to help meet this growing demand." - !

In Senatr Cummings' .opinion, the problem is one that must be met by the creation ot such sound and et fective systems of credit and of mar keting that the farmer can be placed upon a footing of equality with other producers and business men. senator Cummins lias no laitli in the ability of the farmers to form a combination for. their own protec tion such as has been suggested by some of the other organizations, even if thev were relieved of all the re strictions of the anti-trust laws. Nor does he believe that conditions can be improved by any such course. A combination ot farmers com plete enough and strong enough to control prices might easily become a menace to the consuming public. The first great need of the farm ers, . Senator Cummii.s believes, is a personal credit system, such as exists in France, Belgium and other European countries. He thinks that possibly this might be provided by an extension of the present farm loan banks, but is inclined to believe that an entirely separate organization would prove more ettective. The farm loan banks lend only upon farm mortgages It the farm er has mortgaged his land and is still vthout money, he, cannot pro ducea frop without assistance from some banking institution and assist ance in a large measure is withheld. The farmers are charging the fed eral reserve board with discrimi nation against them because the board is trying to reduce inflation and has not directed that the banks lend .directly to the farmers. As a fact, the federal reserve board, while it can restrict credit, is without any power to compel the banks to ex tend credit in any special direction. Consequently- the Janvier finds that the reserve system operates only to make his own way more difficult, without affording hiri the slightest prospect of relief. The farmers are not only selling at less than production costs, but they are compelled to seek credit up on the basis of a falling market, with constantly reducing values in the as sets they have to off"r as security.

Corey Registrar qf Federal Land Bank bpeaks at Weekly " Meeting of Rotary Club In Hotel Rome. Morton L. Corey, ugistrar of the Federal Land bank of Omaha, de livered the principal address before the weekly meeting of the Rotary club, following their noonday lun cheon in the Hotel Rome yesterdayi His subject was "Financing the Farmer." "If the farmer wa adequately financed he could oav his local mer chants and retailers and they in turn could take care of. .their obligations with the wholesalers," Mr. Corey de clared. He pointed out that by September 1 of this year bankers had every reason to believe thai with the ar- lival of the normal liquidation period or tanners, their crops could be sold rnd there could be a reasonable liquidation all along the 1tne. Farm Produce Held. "The farmer, however." he con tinued, "is generally refusing to market his products. He feels that he has raised the most expensive crop in his experience, and that the loss he is called upon to bear is greater than his share. General liquidation is dependent upon what the farmer does and it is to be hoped that prices may become shell soon as to permit of his liquidating with out taking more that: his share of the loss. lhc tarmer as well as every other busmesj man m this period of depression is bound to suf fer some loss. "Some system should be devised whereby the loss is fairly appor tioned." Mr. Corey also discussed the fed eral farm loan system', stating that the Federal Land bank of Omaha has placed loans amounting to $48, 000,000 among farmers in the states of Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming in the three years of its organization. i Await Court Decision. It has suspended business for the past year pending the outcome of a suit in the supreme court of the United States, in which the Farm Mortgage Bankers of America ques tion the constitutionality $f the fed eral farm loan act. As the funds derived to make farm loans are from the sale of bonds, he explained, they cannot be sold until the constitution ality of the law is decided. ' A decision is expected December 6 when the supreme court will again be in session. The effect of the oper ation of farm loan banks, Mr. Corey explained, has been to reduce the average interest on farm loans at least 1 per cent throughout the United States. If the law is disaf firmed by the supreme judges, it will mean that the farmers of the United States will have to pay an additional $40,000,000 interest , on their loans, he said. -;- ADVERT1SKMKNT Is Cure a Cold in One Day Take'lLJrove's LAXATIVE BROMO QUI NINE tablfts.
