GENEVA, Dec. 1S.-In the last
round of the contest in the League of
Nations between the various forces
endeavoring to decide Armeniss fate
france won the final advantage Just
before the Assembly finally adjourned
to-day, when she obtained the dissolu
tlon Of the special committee Of six un-
der Lord Robert Cecil, which had been
charged with determining the fate of
the Armenian state. Cecil had hoped
that his committee would be allowed
to 60 on sitting after the Assemblies
adjournment
The whole responsibility for Ar
menia now rests on the league Coun-
Gil, where it was placed by the adop-
tion of motion to this end offered
IN the Assembly by Rene Viviani, of
the French delegation. The fate of
the Armenian nation now once more
hangs on the Near East greement
between Great Britain and France and
will be fought out in secret in the
depths Of tho league Council and Of
the chancellories of the Allied powers.
ia Allies realize that since the Ar
menians began toying with Bolshevism
the league and the Allies stand face to
face with possible war with Russia un-
less they move carefully in the disposi-
ton Of the Armenian case. France is
understood to favor strong action
against the Bolshevik tendencies in Ar
menia, just as she has consistently op-
posed the westward march of Boil
shevism in other places.
Britain Deprecates Force
Great Britain, on the other hand, is
opposed to armed action, believing that
the opening of normal relations with
Russia will kill Bolshevism quicker
than any other means. Moreover, the
British are afraid that if Bolshevism
should be beaten by armed force in the
East it might fame out with create r
intensity elsewhere and set fire to the
West.
The question of mandates also has
gone back into the hands of the Coun-
ell, when in reality rhey never wholly
left. The Assembly tried desperately
terms, but the Councils ban on pub
licity made it impossible for the As
sembly to do much more than make
the recommended on that they be made
public at the earliest opportunity. The
Assembly did win one victory on this
question, however, for it forced the
publication Of the terms of the man
dates of Class C-i. e., those affecting
the former German colonies in the Pa
cfc and in southwest Africa.
Lord Robert Cecil, Newton W. Rowell
and DR.. Giuseppi Motta stand out at
the close of the Assembly sessions as
the three figures chiefly responsible for
the remarkable success which the
Geneva meeting has achieved. These
three men more than any others stood
up for principles in a sea of national
politics with which they were sur
rounded. 1t is true that Mr.. Rowell

Writes O'Flanagan His In
sistence on Recognition
of Republic Closes Door
to Own Good Counsels
Will Not Parley
With De Valera
Erin's Vice President
Had Denounced British
for 'Fiendish' Outrages

LONDON, Dec. 18.-The correspond
ence which has been going on between
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
Father Michael OFlanagan, "Vice-
President of the Irish Republic" in an
effort to obtain a truce between Eng
land and the Sim Fein organization
apparently has been brought to an end
Father O'Flanagan, in his latest mes
sage to Mr.. Lloyd George, declared the
only way to reconciliation was by "di-
rect negotiations with the official head
of the Irish nation-President De
Valera"
In his reply sent to-day, the Prime
Minister said: "This attitude closes the
door to those counsels Of good will
which you invoked by beginning this
correspondence
Text of Priests Message
Father OFlanagan's message read:
-" hlle sending, through message
peace and good will to the people OF
Ireland, your government have intens-
fed their fiendish attacks upon ou,
lives. our liberty and our property.
How hollow your fair words read
IN the newspapers. sandwiched in be-
tween the burning Of Cork and the
murder Of Canon Magner and Timothy
Crowley,
IF you really wish for peace, allow
the constitution adopted by the Irish
people at the last general election to
perform its legitimate functions, and
acts Of violence Will soon become as
rare in Ireland as in any of the most
peaceful nations Of THE world Then
arrange the terms of treaty by direct
negotiations with the official head of
the Irish nation-President De Valera
This is the only possible road to that
reconciliation which vitality interests
both nations.'
Premier Sends Reply
Mr. Lloyd George replied as foljows.
had hoped that with moderation
and common sense on both sides ii
might have been possible to reach an
understand which would put a stop
to strife in Ireland and pave the way
to reconciliation. You now imply that
in your judgment the only road to
peace is the recognition Of an Irish
republic and the negotiation of a treaty
with some one you designate as the Of
nclal head and president of that re,
public.
II have never failed to make it clear
that there is no possibility of settle
ment so long as the Sim Fem demands
an irish republic, and that, though l am
willing 10 explore every avenue toward
an honorable, constitutional settlement
there is no road to peace so long as
the Sim Fein persists in trying to
compel any sett. cement by means OF
assassination and violence.
"The only way to peace is that the
leaders Of the Sim Fein should recog-
nze these Fundamental facts. Their
present policy is only leading Ireland
ever nearer TO chaos and ruin.
81 deeply regret that you should
close the door to those counsels OF
good will which you invoked at the
beginning of this correspondence"

sofa Lumber Camp Sur
rounded by Canadians.

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. Strapped
by a large posse of mounted police,
two. bandits, of the four who held up
the Red Deer lumber camp at Bar
rows, Man.. a week ago, were killed
Saturday afternoon after a terrific gun
battle which ragged for. five hours.
The men were found in a hay stack
and every chance for escape was cut
of when police hurriedly surrounded
their refuge.
Despite the h~opelessness Of escape,
the desperadoes apparently determin-
ed to sell their lives as dearly as pos
sible. and for five hours they held the
police at bay with a hail of bullets.
None of the police was injured.
Attempts t. get the men to sur
render failed. When several police
started toward the stack with a white
flag waving, they were fired upon and
hastily reiterated.
The hay stack finally was set on fire
and the bodies of the bandits were
charred beyond recognition. Binder
Irvine was used, a cotton ball being
placed in the center The ball was
set on fire and the police taking hold
of each end of the string, worked it
toward the stack. setting it on fire.
The battle with the desperadoes was
the most desperate ever fought be-
tween police and bandits in western
Canada. The two other bandits were
arrested while at breakfast in a lonely
section house.
