Arxneflians Seek Il. s.

PARIS, April Is (By The Associ-

aggression has caused the Armenian
delegation now in Paris to consider
making an appeal for assistance in
organizing an Armenian army to drive
the Turks from the newly formed re
public. Their requests for the occu-

has brought from the peace con-
terence. according to Avetis Ahroun-
IAN. president of the Armenian dele
cation, only promises of considera-
ton.
A report just received by him from
the Armenian Foreign Minister de-
cIares that the Turkish menace is in
creaslng daily and that unless radical
measures are adopted there can be no
other results than domination of the
country by the Turks. Grave appre-
henslon Is telt that this would be
accomplished by massacres

Exile for Wilhelm
NOic Is AdU0caied
General Tnfer-4lIied Court
Martial Also Proposed
FOR German Var lords

PARIS, April 18 (By The Associated
Prcss) The plan of the Council of
-Four TO have Belgium prosecute the
former German Emperor on the charge
of responsibility for the war is meet
ing with objections which again are
bringing up the whole subject for re-
vision.
Those who have the matter in hand
divide the question Of war RESPONSE
bilities into two distinct classes. The
first class includes military and naval
offenders like General Ludendorf and
Admiral Won Tirpitz and those accused
Of various excuses against the usual
rules of warfare The second class in
cludes former Emperor William, ex
Chancellor Won Betbmann- Hollweg
AMI others whose offence is chiefly of
political nature.
One Court Martial Proposed
Concerning the first class, that OF
military offenders, it US agreed there
is no international court martial suit
able to undertake such military trials,
but it is pointed out that every coun-
try has its own system of court mar
tial for military otfenses committed
within its borders.
This has developed the suggestion
that these countries combine their
courts martial and act under single
military procedure codifed from all
the separate military codes. A joint
court martial would thus he consti-
tuted capable of dealing with offend
ers of the first (or military and navaN
class.
Concerning the political offenders, it
IS said that tribunal is not necessary
and would be ineffective. owing to the
legal immunity of political offenders
Therefore it is maintained that the ac-
tion against Napoleon furnishes q
precedent for the determination of the
Allied course as a general measure Of
policy.
May Exile Ex-Kaiser
In the case of Napoleon there was
no trial, but he was confined on the
Island OF st. Helena as general meas
are of policy for the tranquility of
Europe. Some such general policy is
designed to reach ex-Emperor William
and other political offenders, with Bel
GUM or another country against which
the political otfenses charged were
chiefly directed, acting for the pun
pose of securing the extradition OF the
Individual as preliminary to putting
the general policy into effect.

Toxic Cable Also Reports
6,4OO Troops Landed
at Fusan 20 Suppress
Revolutionary Uprising

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13. - Two
divisions of Japanese troops have been
ordered to Corea to suppress revolu-
tionary uprisings. according to a cable
gram received here to-day by the
Japanese American" q newspaper
from Toxic agent.
Another cabegram to the paper from
Fusan, Corca. by way OF Toxic, said
that 5000 Japanese troops and 400
gcndarmes had landed at that place
The Japanese government suspects
'onc or two American missionaries of
n connection with the present upris-
ing in Corea," but has followed "the
most considcrate method of dealing
with the matter and has not arrested
either of them' according to an of
fetal cable message from Toxic, made
public here yesterday by Chonosukc
Yada. Japanese consul general IN New
York.
The cableeram denied reports chat
at Ping yang "a Japanese soldier struck
an American lady missionary with the
butt end of his gum or that at No
DuruKawa "our soldiers searched the
home of an American missionary and
forced their way into the bedroom of
his wife Thorough investigation of
the Ping-yang incident, the message
said, showed "the report originated
from the action of a Japanese soldier
trying to force back the passage of
a crowd with his gun held hori
zontally"
Asserting that the riots have been
sponsored bv zone Son Heiki, who is at
the head of cult called Tendo- Kyo
(Hcavenly Way and harbors mutin
GUS ambition of bringing about a coup
d'etat," the message continued;
at is a matter of exceeding regret
that certain portion of the mission
ary body has inspired the suspicion
that they have indulged in words and
actions> >suseeeptiblc to political con
structon. But the authorities have
ever respected the freedom of faith
and at no time and in no instance have
they closed the churches conducted by
the missionaries. Only those among
the leaders of the Tcndo cult and the
Corean missionaries who have had an
intimate connection with the present
rioting have been put under arrest"
The message asserted the reason
certain native Christians and Corean
students had joined the movement was
because they misinterprcted the sig
nihcence of the league of nations and
the doctrine of clf-determination"
Leaders of the uprising the message
added, had forced them, through
threats, to join the rioters, ''in order
to gain public sympathy'
After denying reports of cruelties
practiced on the Coreans, the cable
gram declared armed forces had been
employed only in certain remote sec
tons where police powers were made
