 AID COMES ID EAST
Disputes Between Near Eas: States Open New Field
 of Activity

Tielis, Transcaucasia, Dec. 20.-- Colonel William Haskell, high commissioners for the four great powers in Armenia, believes that one of the most difficult que*- ticns of the Near East has been solved by settlement of the dis pute between Armenia, Azerbaid- ian and eGorgia as to which should control the Karabagh district.
 This district lies between the Black and Caspian seas, just north of the former border of Persia and Transcausasia Representatives of the three countries named have agreed to settle the dispute over this territory and to adjust all further disagreemerts by confer ence.
 Colonel Haskell told the Asso- ciated Press that this settlement opens up a much greater field of work for the American committee for relief in the Near East.
 "This organization" he said, "already is housing feeding and clothing 11,000 orphans in 42 orphanages scattered throughout Russian Armenia besides caring for 23,00 sick children, maintain ing IA hospitals and feeding 307,- 900 homeless refugees or destitute persons.
 Before the recent conflict ct Zangebour, the Americans fed 61,- 000 refugees in the neighhorhood of Shusha, the capital of the disputed district. Even then they were unable to reach 58,000 more in the mountainous region known as Karabagh who were cut off by the political complications now settled.
 "It is now hoped to bring relief to more than 100000 Arrnen1sns and Tartars alike in the contested territory who face death this win ter unless outside help is received,
 "hTe United States is the only country endeavoring to help the population of all Transcaucasia, besides whose desperate situation the condition in devastated France and Belgium is described as sim ply child's play.
