League Looks to
Wilson to Take
Care Of Armenia
Great Britain Favors United
States Acting as Mediator
In Present Extremely Deli
cate Situation In East.

Geneva, Nov. 26.-(By the Asso-
ciated Rfess. 1.-THE attitude among
delegates of the assembly of the
league of nations toward the appeal
of the league to President Wilson
to act as mediator in the Armenian
situation appears to be one of hope
without expectation that the United
States will relieve Europe and the
league of an embarrassing question.
Behind the admitted necessity Of
doing something for Armenia, there
is conflict of European interests
involved. Great Britain, it is un-
derstood, would look with great dis
favor on intervention by any power
having rival interests. Action by
the United States in Armenia, it is
held, would involve no such COM
plications.
France May Act.
In default of action by President
Wilson, general opinion here is that
France is the country most likely
to offer favorable reply to the media
ton appeal made by the council Of
the league yesterday to the various
powers, at the same time the message
to President Wilson was sent. Ac-
ceptance by France, however, it is
understood, would be on condition
of full support by the other powers.
The activities of the assembly
have been transferred for the time
being from the hall of the reforma-
ton, where the full sessions of the
body have been held, to the head
quarters of the secretariat. Here the
committees and subcommittee were
holding sessions throughout the day.
Assembly Meets Tuesday.
They will continue, trtir labors
until Tuesday, next, when the as
sembly will reconvene, hear the first
of the committees and take
tip the resolution of Gtorge Nichol
Barnes OF Great Britain asking the
council to explain why it did not in
tervene to prevent the clash between
the Poles and Russian bolsheviki
last summer.
Committee No. b OF the assembly,
has finally settled upon the principle
of its report on disarmament, the
French viewpoint prevailing. The
will be that disarm-
ament be imposed only with due re-
gard for the security OF the different
states.
While subcommittee is drawing
tip this report the committee is TAX
ing up the question of an economic
blockade as an arm of the league
against offending nations.
Wilson Receives Note.
Washington, Nov. 26.-President
Wilson received today the appeal of
the league of nations that he act as
mediator in the Armenian situation.
The message reached the White
House last night from Geneva and
was delivered to the president this
Mr.. Wilson already has consented
to fix the boundary lines of Armtnia,
but there was no information at the
White House as to his ideas on the
subject Of mediation.

tary OF State Colby, Sir Auckland

port on the murders OF the British
officers by Sim Feiners i'll Dublin
last Sunday.
The report describes eight raids
IN which IA British officers and gov
ernment agents were killed in cold
blood, many OF them in their beds.
The document is replete with thrill
ing, blood-curdling details of the
atrocities committed in the private
houses invaded by the Sim Feiners.
Neither the secretary of state nor
the ambassador would discuss the
nature of their conference, but it is
surmised that Sir Auckland desired
TO acquaint the State department
with the contents of the report he
was issuing, if not to present his
views of De Valera's appeal to
President Wilson for the recogni-
tion of the Irish republic.
Referred to Colby.
The appeal was referred by the
president to the State department,
which is expected to reply to it
soonr or later, explaining that rec
ognition is not warranted.
The eight Sim Fein raids and the
murders committed in connection
Herewith are described in the re-
port:
Case A, % Erlsfort Terrace. One
murden The murderers' leader
rang the bell and asked the maid
Tor Colonel Fitzgerald She dis
closed the whereabouts of the bed
room OF Colonel Fitzgerald. The
leader then called on about 20 men,
whe were in the half. The leader
entered Fitzgerald's room. The maid
heard his shouts and the assassin's
voice say: Come on Four shots
were fired in rapid succession. The
police found the body in bed in
pool of bioor. Fitzgerald was un-
armed and was the son of Upper
airy uOCtOI, WHO Hdu DetH IcCClltiy
employed as defense officer at the
police barracks in Clare: Some
time ago he was kidnapped by Sim
Feiners, who tried to shoot him with
his own revolver which missed fire.
They then twisted his arm until it
was dislocated, dragged him to
field, propped him against a wall
and fired at him. He leaped over
the wall and escaped, and had come
to Dublin for surgical treatment for
his arm. He was only few days
out of the hospital before he was
assassinated.

The Associated Press.) - Senator

of his short visit at the Pacific ter

Brigadier General Kennedy, COM
mander of troops in the canal zone.
and had a long ttfk with that Off
Ger. During his motor ride he in
spected the forts off the Pacific end

from comments heard afterward.
"The cordially of your greetings
and the fine spirit of your good
wishes stir me deeply" ne said, fac.
ing President Porras. I'VE are
rather more than friendly neighbors,
quaffing the cup Of most cordial as

"Your freedom and cur genius and
resources combined to link the
oceans, and the day will come when
the commerce of the world will stage
its surprising pageant here. One
cannot escape the inspirations and
the impelling influences of COM
merce and trade. The adventurous
navigatorsi and discoverers came
hither and revealed western con-
tinent to the old wcrld, but they
came because they were inspired by
trade. Trade has made peoples
eminent throughout all time, apd this
fact is no less true today than in
the past.
I need not assure you anew of the
friendship OF our United States for
your republic. We ale deeply inter-
ested in the development Of your
good fortune. More, we want our
proven friendship for you to add to
the confidence of all America, North.
Central and South, in our people and
our government. We crave friendly
relations, and we wish to promote
them and make them abiding. We
want spirit of fraternal American
ism which BELTS the American con-
tinent, not in selfishness, not in
rivalry of the old world, but in n
mutuafity of interest and helpful
ness to one another"
