ROME. Dec. 25.-"The world is af- flicted today by five great plaques" said Pope Benedict in replying to the greetings of the sacred college, repre- sented by Cardinal Vannutelli as doyen at the reception to the pontiff today.
 The pope enumerated these as the negation of authority, hatred among brothers. thirst for pleasure, disgust for work and forgetfulness of the su- pernatural objects of life.
 These evils can only be overcome with the aid of the Gospel, said the pope and therefore he would never cease to remind the people of it, this being his mission and his intention.

Scant Prospect Of Agreement to

international News Service.

There is scant prospect OF the
Senate agreeing to President wilson's
recommendation that the United States
assume a mandate for Armenia.
This was the consensus OF opinion
Of Republican leaders today.
Opposition to the American people
being called upon to assume response.
bility for Armenia has been repeatedly
voiced in the Senate by both Repub-
lican and Democratic Senator'S op-
posed to the Presidents attitude on
the League OF Nations and the peace
treaty.
Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts,, the
Republican leader, stated plainly to-
day that no matter what course the
Senate might pursue regarding the
Presidents proposal. there was no
chance Of its acting finally on II until
after the proposed summer recess.
A canvass Of the Republican SEN
ators constituting the majority OF the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
disclosed they shared the view OF tho
Armenian situation taken in General
Harbord's report, instead Of that OF
the President.
When the subject was brought to
the Senate's attention there was sure
to be a bitter controversy over 1t be-
tween the Administratlon ana anti
Administration forces. and a renewal
of criticism OF the league OF nations
plan. IT was freely predicted.
Several Republican Senators declar.
ed there was as much chance of the
Senate consenting TO an Armenian
mandate for this country as there
was Of that body ratifying the peace
treaty and committing the American
people to the league OF nations with
out the Lodge reservations.

KNIFE, GIRL SAYS
Minnie GaIIander, 18, Testifies
At Trial of Her Father
In Brooklyn.

. NEW YORK. May 25.-A Cinder-
ella story from real life was unfold
ed to jury in the county court,
Brooklyn, yesterday, when John Cal
lander, a vaudeville performer, went
to trial before County Judge Haskell
on charge of assault in the second
degree.
His own daughter. Minnie. eight
cen, testified all day to almost un-
believable cruelties she said had been
inflicted on her by her father, her
stepmother (now dead and step
grandmother in their home at $50
Grant avenue. Brooklyn.
Minnie has all actions and manner
isms of child. Long curls hung
over the sailor collar Of her white
MILDLY blouse. and she skunk back
in the witness chair as II in terror
when counsel for her father began
his cross-eXamination.
Never Went to school.
She had never gone to school, and
IL was only after she was taken in
charge by the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children that
she learned to read. But in the two
years she has been the ward of the
society, ever since her charges OF
cruelty were aired in the police court
she has undergone q transformation
that made her a formidable witness
against her father.
Veteran actor, he enacted the role
of defendant in the first tragedy in
which he has appeared in public with
the same tranquility that charactet- =
ized him behind the footlights. As
calmly as IL he were waiting for his
cue in the wings he listened to his
pretty daughter narrate her story.
He was unmoved when she stepped
from the witness stand and. barring
her arm, showed the Judge and jury
hideous scar on her arm which she
said had been inflicted by her step
mother with a red-hot knife in the
presence of her father.
Only once during the trial did she
gaze at her father, and then only at
the insistence OF his counsel. The
father glared at his daughter when
she testified:
Branded with Knife.
II was washing the kitchen sink
when my father hurled a dishpan at
me. striking me on the head. He
then threw knife and fork at me,
and when | shrieked my step
mother deliberately put n knife into
the kitchen stove fire. She with
drew IL and stabbed me with it
and here IL the scar"
Minnie then told OF subsequent ILL
treatment. until she made up her
mind to escape from the house. She
testified:
II took some clothes and n little
food from the ice chest and just
wandered on and on during the day.
At times when I felt so hungry, I
took food from garbage pals when
nobody was looking and drank wa
ter from horses troughs. I don't
know how | stood It. but I did until
collapsed and they took me to the
hospital"

story was shaken considerably. Her

Commoner Takes Direct Issue
With President Wilson on
Accepting Supervision.
CONTINUED from First Pssel

NNohtthueo from first faBeJ
eiple OF democracy. namely. that all
people are capable OF self'govern'
ment.
Nearly 100 years ago" President
Wilson's former Secretary OF state
continued, Henry Clay set forth the
american view on this subject when
dealing with the aspirations OF the
south American Republics. referring
to the old contentious of monarohists
that subject peoples are incapable OF
self-government. Clay declared II
would be a rejection on the Almighty
to assume that He would create peo-
pie Incapable of self-sovernment ana
leave them to the victims OF kings
and empsrors. All Colonial exploits.
tions OF helpless people sare defended
on the theory of their incapacity Tor
self-government.
I'VE cannot indorse this theory. II
would be Injurious to the Armenians
instead of kindness to affirm or sd'
NIT them Incapable of self-govern-
ment II II were once admitted, they
would never be permitted 20 outGrow

consent to their independence would
encourage other subject peoples to
ask Tor independence.

sage to- Congress wherein the con-
viction was expressed that q ma ndate
over Armenia would be expressive or
tho deep Christian sympathies OF
the American people. American
ideas are entirely consistent with
Christianity" the Commoner went on.
I'VE can recognise the Independence
of the Armenian Republic and send as
minister to Armenia a man who has
faith in democracy and who believes
that governments should rest upon
consent OF the governed. He can ad-
wise with the Armenian officials when
they desire advice and help them as a
