us. DOES NOT WANT TURKISH MANDATE PRESIDENT WILSON
 INFORMS COUNCIL
Neutral Countries Becoming Suspicious of German and Austrian Groups, Who i Are Trying to Avoid
 Indemnity Payment
By Associated Press

Paris, May 24.-Presldent Wilson has informed the coun- cil of four, it was reported in peace conference circles today, that the other members of the council should be prepared for the United States not to take a mandate for Constantinople, or any other part of Turkey.
 This is interpreted not as the personal inclination of the President against mandate. but as precaution in case, Congress does not approve of Turkish mandate. the reported stand of the President has had the effect of starting two distinct movements with relation to the Turkish problem. The first is to place Constantinople under an interna- tional commission in which all the great powers would have great voice. Should this not prove acceptable, the second plan will be put frward. This plan Is based on the assumption that if the riv- alries among the great powers of Europe make it inexpedient for Great Britain or Italy to take the mandate to entrust it to Greece with the support of the great powers.
 Premier Venizelos of Greece has let 1t be known that he is not urging this plan, but that Greece is ready to assume the mandate if neither the United States nor an international commission is pre- pared to assume responsibility

Several districts of the for Iner central powers, desiring to avoid participation in the payment of indemni- ties, show disposition to vote in the plebescites for financial rather than na- ticnal reasons. As a result neutral coun- tries are becoming suspicious of certain German and Austrian groups.

had its origin here as the result of
the authorities confiscating five cases
of wine which arrived here over the

way consigned to st. Joseph's hos

a year or more ago the hospital au-

purposes and arrangements were
made to procure such permission.
Evidently through an error of the
shipper the cases were marked sac

wide prohibition law to go through a

Rev. Shaw, of the Baptist church.
According to a Minneapolis paper,

ever, that after their arrival in Min
neapoiis, Nelson and the girl had
planned to secure a license and be
married, but unfortunately the would
be groom from South Dakota went
in quest of a purchase and forgot
about the license and the girl, so
when the police investigated Nelson's
story about losing his money they
found the girl waiting at the hotel
for Nelson. After all had been ex-
planned to the entire satisfaction OF
the superintendent OF police at Min
neapolis, the couple returned at once

jewish RELIEF FUND
IN THIS THE DARKEST TRAGEDY
OF OUR RACE.

| wish to sound for you the most
terrible cry, the most urgent call for
aid that Jewish ears have heard in
3 900 years! | wish to have you
hear the final call before the death
of a whole Jewish people about to
die! l wish to ask you TO look with
me at a scene of absolute misery and
starvation that Jewish martyrdom in
all its history has never equalled.
wish to ask you to look with me upon
a whole Jewish people actually about
to die!
/ cannot possibly paint this terri
BILE picture for you. And yet, must
see the awful tragedy in which I'M
known thousands of your brethren
are starving.
Today, in Poland, in ,Galicia, in
Lithuania, in Russia. in Palestine and
Turkey, old men are dying, mothers
are wandering homeless with babies
in their arms. Thousands, yes thou
sands of little suffering children,
whose feet and arms and little faces
are swollen, are dying from disease,
and oh, God! from awful hunger.
In this blacklist tragedy of our
race, I ask your aid. You may have
already given. We all have given,
We all must give again.
WI have not yet sent enough TO
keep them alive. Even doing out
but barleysteeped in warm water to
our brethren, we have actually failed
to send enough for all. And daily,
from the long lines, hundreds are
actually turned away to starve with
their families through another day,
because there is no more, because,
even OF this poor food, you and / do
not send enough.
And Ii cannot ven be promised
that we may entirely save these peo-
pie. But we can at least prove our
generosity, prove ourselves their
brothers and postpone the end. We
need not, we must not let them die.

.ATROCIOUS CRIME BY UNNAT-
URAL PARENTS NEAR
COURTENAY, N. ID.

Jamestown N. D., March 21.-Lit-
tie Eta Mcdonnell was beaten to
death by her father and by her moth
er in their home near Courtenay last

fession.
Mrs. Mcdonnell was in her bed

ter's cries for mercy, but did not so
to the aid of the child. She said she
was always afraid to interfere with
her husband when he was correcting
the children.
Battered and bruised, lying sense
less upon the floor, the baby was at
tackled a second time, this time by
the mother who used a board ripped
from an apple box. Blow after blow

nay, also heard the woman's story.
At $50 O'Clock the child regained

escape further maltreatment, she
tried to make her way to another
room. only to stagger and fall to the
floor again. The baby, bleeding from
the wounds that had been inflicted
upon her. was then carried to the bed
from which she had been previously
thrown by her father, and at 4 O'Clock
