deposits may be withdrawn at any

over dozen speeches by members of
the retiring executive committee and
the new committee. These speeches
touched on the bonus, the next Iegis-
iature, on the task of adding to the
present $4,000 members of the Le-
s1on In 81 posts of the total $4,000
service men in Connecticut with
good deal of remembrance of the
sick, the injured and the poor, in
which Captain Charles E. Lockhart

only outsider present, was recognized
as leading expert Mr.. Bannigan

The speech by the new command
er, John F. Pickett, superintendent of
| schools of Ansonia, was a glowing
tribute to a man dear to the Legion.
Especial reference was made to Mr..
Calhoun's organizing ability and the
wisdom with which he handled the
problems coming thick and fast in
the early years of the great order
which is destined to play such
large part in American life.
In his response, Mr.. Calhoun, the
retiring commander, enjoined the
men to read the bulletins and to
stand by the posts. 1t is not enough
to hand them charter and say

p. E. Fox of Hartford, the field
secretary, spoke briefly, and Father
Cassidy, of Hartford, after praising
the men he met at the Bridgeport
convention as of the finest, tossed a
mild bombshell into the company by
applauding the defeat of the bonus
proposal at that convention and
recommending that the Connecticut
Legion advise the Cleveland conven-
ton to substitute for bonus the Con-
necticut plan of relief. He had him
self distributed some $4,000 within
the past few months and it proved of
great help in many cases.
Captain Lockhart, commander of
the local post, was received with en-
thusiasm. He was forced to discuss
Father Cassidy's comments; he
thought not all understood the status
of the bonus.

THE MANDATE
FOR ARMENIA
Supreme Council Offers II
TO U. S.
The QUESTION OF FRONTIERS
The Council Also Awards A Mandate
For Mesopotamis To Great Britain
And A Mandate For Syria
To France.
THE QUESTION OF FRONTIERS

San Remo.-The Supreme Council
is sending a formal request to Presi.
dent Wilson that the United States
Government take the mandate for Ar
menia, The council is leaving to Pres
ident Wilson the arbitration OF the
differences over the boundaries Of
Armenia.
There seems to be division on the
part Of the council as to whether the
region of Erzerum and It's vicinity
should be included in the territory
Of the Armenian republic The Turk.
ish nationalists are strongly claiming
Erzerum for themselves.
The council awarded a mandate for
Mespotamia and Palestine to Great
Britain and a mandate to Syria to
France.
In placing Palestine under a British
mandate the council establishes with
in the ancient limits of Holy Land
what is called "The National Home Of
the Jews"
The terms of the mandate protect
the national rights of Jewish citizens
Of other countries. That is to say,
a Jew of American, British, French or
other nationality may retain his ma
tionality, although he is also citizen
of the State of Palestine.
The rights Of Arabs also are pro
teeted. there being 100000 in Pales-
tine and 100000 Jews. The mandate
is limited generally by what is known
as the Balfour declaration. British
forces have been in occupation Of
Palestine since the defeat OF the Turk
ish forces by the British Field Marshal
Viscount Allenby.
France has been the protector of the
Christians in Syria since the middle
ages; having been designated for the
purpose by the Holy See. The ques-
tion with regard to Syria has been in
serious controversy between the
French and British Governments since
the armlstiee was signed, particularly
over the point whether France should
have all Of what is geographically out
lined as Syria, or only certain parts.
Dispatches from San Reno on FRI
day last, announcing the decision OF
the Supreme Council to make Ar
menia an independent state, said that
the boundaries Of the new republic
had not vet been defined The new
republic, the dispatches added would
probably be contracted. owing to the
belief that the smaller the country
the more easily it could protect itself
and the fear that if too many Turks
were left within Armenia they might
overthrow the government.
