In the marketing of hay and rough

haul to the point of delivery. The
United States department of agricul-
ture points out that this means much
extra labor for the men and teams on
grain and crop farms, and much fer

PETITION PRESIDENT
women's College DESIRES United States
to Accept Mandate Over Armenia

A petition has been signed by President
Mary r. Woolley and 5sl members of the
faculty and students of Mount Holyoke
College and sent to President Wilson. the
president of the Senate and the speaker
Of the House of Representatives. urging
the United States to accept "A mandate
over Armenia. The plea is based on the
absolute necessity of preventing future
massacres. on the need for strong
Armenian state. and on the fact that
none of the great European powers is in
a position to accept such mandate. On
the other hand. the United States is
peculiarly fitted for such task. Through
mr. missionaries, America has already
acted as guardian Of the Armenian peo-
nls and In wealth and resources she ia
we'll equipped. The United States is
known to have no material interests in
that part Of the world. and the inhab,-
tants Of the Turkish Empire have more
confidence In Americans than in any
other people. Throughout her history,
America has consistently stood for free
dom from oppression and for moral rather
than material interests.
