Grimm necessity has at last driven
the American bourgeois government to
remove the trade embargo on Soviet
Russia. After Great Britain had enter
ed into trade agreement with Russia,
with the prospect Of securing the cream
of that country's market, continuance
of the embargo spelled suicide to Amer
lean manufacturers. The action was,
of course, grudgingly taken, but no
other course was possible. Markets
must be secured at once if wide
spread industrial depression is to be
postponed. Signs of its approach are
not wanting, and the astute big fell
lows in industry have insisted that
their government come to their relief.
1t came, all right, even at the sacrif-
ice of pride. Some of the provisions in
the new policy are decidedly amusing.
For instance, the declaration that
"persons trading with Russia do so at
their own risk' will provoke broad
grins, if not hilarious merriment,
among the American manufacturers
Since when did governments become
so paternal as to underwrite the ac
counts of their citizens or subjects
engaged in trade7 Another declaration
mo political recognition is either
granted or implied will doubtless be
be received with CONSERVATION at
Petrograd. Since Russia is now an
industrial government it has little con.
sideration for the empty honor Of
political recognition. However, that
must eventually come as necessary
concomitant of trade agreement, and
any declaration to the contrary is as
insincere as it is absurd. "Thus endeth
the first lesson"
Every citizen of Ohio ought to be
'one-stepping" about with his chest

ARMENIA MANDATE.
!. I. UP TO TO | CONGRESS d S
President Asks Authority TO
Accept
WOULD COST MILLIONS
Caught Between The Russian Botshe'
wiki And Turkish NationaIists-
Mandate Would Require Very
Heavy Expenditures.

Washington.-President Wilson put
up squarely to Congress the response
bility for deciding whether the United
States should accept the mandate over
Armenia.
In a message to the legislative body
the President strongly urges accept
ance as a high christian" duty, de-
volving upon the United States.
Refers To Senate Action.
At the outset of his communication
the President reminds Congress that
as late as May IA the Senate passed
resolution expressing the hope that
stable government, proper protection
OF individual liberties and rights and
the full realization Of nationalistic
aspirations may soon be attained by
the Armenian people"
Il am conscious" his message
reads, that am urging upon the Con-
gress very critical choice, but I make
the suggestion in the confidence that l
am speaking in the spirit and in &C.
cordance with the wishes of the great.
est Of the Christian peoples"
Despite the resolution Of the Senate,
referred to by the President as a
"providentia1 coincidence" with the
request Of the San Reno conference
that the United States accept the
mandate, it is regarded as a practical
certainty that Congress will reject the
Presidents proposal. because of the
costs involved.
Administration officials themselves
admit that they have no hope that
Congress will authorize acceptance,
but because Of the large religious ele-
ments in this country favoring the
proposal, particularly among Prot
estant sects, it is pointed out that the
Presidents action will shift to Con-
gress the responsibility for resisting
this pressure.
Among the Presidents advisers 1t is
declared that as the United States is
not a member Of the League it would
be answerable to the League for its
conduct Of the mandate only in the
ultimate results, and would have the
right to dictate to the other powers,
in the drawing up of mandate pro.
tocol, the terms upon which it would
undertake the task.
In addition to the cost in money and
military forces, which acceptance OF
the mandate would involve, it Is
pointed out among Senators that the
undertaking would involve the United
States in immediate conflict, in all
probability, not only with the hostile
Turks now warning on the Armenians,
but the Russian Bolshevik forces now
in control of Russian Armenia and en-.
gagged in fighting the Armenians.
Following the defeat Of Denekin,
leader of the anti-Bofshevik forces in
the Caucasus, the Russians swept
down into Russian Armenia for the
purpose Of affecting junction with
the Turkish Nationalist forces in a
joint campaign against the British in
Persia. On May 20 they were report
ed by Col. William M. Haskell, Allied
High Commissioner in Armenia, in ad-
vices to the State Department, to be
in full control Of Alexandropol, the
principal railroad center in Russian
Armenia, and to be fighting with Ar.
menian troops from the Armenian cap
ital at Ervinan.

|PEACE.a|[l. /.
PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Goes to President
Wilson for Action
THE VOTE is 228 to 139
Greater Democratic Detection Than
Was Expected-The Six Mary
land Representatives
Divide Evenlv

Divide Evenly.
Washington.-The House OF Repre-
sentatives adopted the peace resolu-
ton by a vote of 228 to 139. Having
accepted the resolution as it was
amended by the Senate it now goes
to President Wilson for his action.
A veto is expected and the vote by
which the resolution was adopted does
not indicate that the resolution can
be passed over the Presidents veto
by the necessary two-thirds vote. The
vote approving the resolution was 228
to 139. =
Party lines were drawn tight.
Twenty Democrats voted with the
Republicans and two Republicans,
Kelley, Of Michigan, and Fuller, Of
Massachusetts, voted with the Dem.
ocrats, indicating greater Democratic
detection than was expected; never.
theless the Democratic leaders de-
clared themselves satisfied with the
way in which they held their party in
line.
Democratic supporters Of the reso
luton were: Ashbrook, Ohio; Cald
well, New York; Carew, New York;
Cullen, New York; Dooling, New York;
Evans, Nevada; Gallivan, Massachu
sets; Ganly, New York; Goldfogle,
New York; Hamill, New Jersey; Hud
dleston, Alabama; McKiniry, New
York; McLane, Pennsylvania; Maher,
New York; Mead, New York; O'Con.
nell, New York; Olney, Massachusetts,;
Sullivan, New York; Tague, Massa'
chusetts.
The Senate vote on passage last
week was 43 to 80.
The House total lacked II votes of
the two-thirds necessary to override
the veto. Seven Democrats against
the measure, which was substitute
for the House resolution, were paired
with Republicans favoring it. Two
Independents also set of each other
in the vote. Representative Cars,
Minnesota, opposing the resolution,
and Representative Kelber, of the
State, favoring it.
Final action by the House came
after an hours debate, the Republi-
cans refusing to grant the Democratic
request for more time. The spokes.
men for both parties in the course
of the debate announced willingness
to enter the political campaign on
their present records.
Only one Democrat, Representative
Huddleston, Of Alabama, expressed
fear Of possible political consequences.
He declared the Democrats were rid.
ing to defeat because of their course
in regard to the question of peace, and
asserted that If the San Francisco
convention approved President VIII.
sons treaty position it should nomi-
nate him for third term $50 he could
go to his defeat"
Other Democrats warmly defended
the President, while Republicans at.
tackled him, declaring that his uncom-
promising attitude meant continuance
Of war powers that the resolution was
designed to end.

Protect Him
60 WERE TAKEN PRISONERS
Statement BY Members Of carranza's
Entourage-Herrero Wanted To
Kill Only carranza And
BoniIIas.

MEXICO C1Ly.-A 0lSpatcQ received
from Juan Barragan, chief Of staff ol
President Carranza, says Carranza
met his death at the hands Of Gen
Rodolfo Herrero's forces at Tlaxacal
antongo. The dispatch did not give
the exact date
The dispatch follows:
"Villa Juarez, State of Puebla, May %
ITO General Alvaro Obregon:
Referring to your telegram Of this
date, Herrero joined the column al
Patla, processing loyalty. Arriving al
Tlaxcalantongo, Herrero offered hos
pitality to Carranza, placing sentinels
who knew the Terrain. At "A o'clock in
the morning his men, abusing the con
f1dence imposed in them, surrounded
the shelter where Carranza was sleep
ing, firing their rifles furiously into the
hut. Everyone offered resistance, Al
though with the natural demoraliza'
tion caused by the unexpected attack
"Gen. Francisco Murguia fought
valiantly in the obscurity (semi-dark'
ness), repulsing the traitors, who sur
prised the defenders when they were
leaving their shelters to attack the
enemy.
Sixty Surrendered.
"The unexpectedness of the attack
enables US to clear our military honor.
The defense was general to such an
extent that the attackers were forced
to take go prisoners, among them
Mario Mendez, Pauline Fontes, Gil
Garias, Gen. Heliodoro Perez, Col.
Che Gomez, General Villela and Car
ranza's military aid.
'fMendez formerly was director OF
the national telegraph lines; Fontes
was former director of national rail-
ways, and Senor Carries was Car
ranza's private secretary.
"Our conscience is clear. Our grief
for the death of the President Is in
consolable. We are satisfied that we
did not abandon him for one moment.
"The few men wounded and dead is
explained by the fact that the attack
ers planned their crime, knowing the
place where the President, who had
placed his confidence in Herrero, was
sleeping. The loyalty and courage Of
the Presidents followers were useless
against the treason Of those Grim
inals."
The message was signed by Barra-
gan and Marciano Gonzales, Federico
Monies, Francisco De H. Maria and
others.
The flags on the American Embassy
and all the other embassies and lega-
tions were placed at half-mast when
the news of the assassination Of Pres
ident Carranza arrived.
Only Two Killed.
President Carranza and Gen. Mo-
rales Y Molina were the only per.
sons killed at Tlaxcalantongo, accord.
ing to newspaper dispatches received
here. Gen. Rodolofo Herrero is quoted
by the dispatches as saying that he
only desired to kill Carranza and
Ygnacio Bonillas. Gen. Morales y
Molina conducted the military trial Of
Gen. Roberto F. Cejudo, former COM
mander-in-chief of the forces of Emil
iano Zapata in Hida1go, who was ac-
cused of dealing with the rebels. He
is said to have been mistaken for
Bonillas.
The dispatches add that the three
generals and two members Of the Car
rama cabinet who at first were re-
ported to have been killed have dis
appeared and probably are in hiding.
