counter claims by opponents and ad-
voca,es OF the league OF nations as to

asserted that they have votes enough
to force the adoption OF amendments
or reservations to the covenant They
claimed 81 votes as certain to I've
recorded for alterations in the docu-
mcnt
The league advocates Just as vigor-
ouSly asserted that the republican op-
position has gone to pieces and that
the covenant will be adopted without
amendment.

league hinted broadly OF an "ex-
plosion that may be looked for with

one senator Another suggested ,ha,

Harems Yield Young

In vain, and broken-hearted mothers

loved ones again."
An important feature of Mr.. JagO's
work since the country was rescued
from the fanatical domination of the
Turks has been the recovery of these
stolen children. From parents and
friends all information possible about
the missing ones was obtained and
this was sifted down and turned over
to the British commandant of the dis.
trict, who, In every instance where the
information was definite, has succeed.
ed In recovering the stolen children.
Among the rescued are many young
girls whose fate In the harems has
been too terrible to describe.
Under the British regime In Ar
menia and that of the French in Syria
the Turks are on their good behavior
and In many cases are cooperating
with the near East relief workers
Even the brutal Kurds. long the op.
pressors of the Armenians, are quiet,
but those who know them best be-

withdrawal of the allied forces for an.
