URGES TABLE SEAT
FOR ARMENIANS

LONDON, March 2s-A- P. Hacobian
a director of the Armenian Official
Bureau OF Information, in a recent in
terview expressed the deepest regret
and concern because the Armenian
government was not represented at
the Peace Conference.
No small nation has lost so many
men or suffered more in this war than
the Armenians. We have lost alto
gether a million men. not to speak of
the terrible devastation OF our coTn-
try, and the making of thousands OF
our poor people absolutely homeless"
said Mr.. Hacobian. "and at Paris we
have no official representative.
president Wilson has given voice
to a sentiment in favor Of representa-
IiOn to the delegates that we have
sent from Armenia to inquire into the
possibility of our being represented
at the Peace Conference, but nothing
has been done.
Peru. Chile, Uruguay, Siam and
many other little countries that have
practically done nothing in the war
have been allowed to send delegates
to the congress, and why we are ex-
Guided we cannot understand. When
the tTenCn wanted troops we gave
them willingly. and to the allies in the
East we have given every assistance
and laid down our lives for a cause
we thought just and a humane one.

rights for all OF the small countries.

have suffered so much appear now to

their graves for revenge on the very

have a friend in one or more OF the
great powers.

understanding between certain pow

still considered eligible for fair and
preferential treatment. and that we

WILL TRY TO REVIVE
OMNIBUS BUILDING BILL

In spite of the talk of economy in
expenditures strong efforts will be
made in the extra session to revive
the omnibus public building bill.
This bill was reported out OF the
House Public Buildings Committee,
but it was not passed in the last ses-
sion, much to the disappointment Of
many members.
The proposed District OF Columbia
Armory was put into the bill and for
that reason the talk Of its revival
is of special concern to Washington.
The armory, as now contemplated. is
to cost $1,000, 900 and to be a me-
mortal to the District war heroes as
we'll as home for the national
guard organizations.
