ARMENIA NEARS
COMPLETE RUIN
Turks and Reds Combined
To Stamp Out Existence
Of New Republic.

LONDON. Nov. Spending efforts
of the assembly Of the league of
nations at Geneva next week to
find someone to replace the United
States in taking over a mandate for
Armenia, that unhappy country Is
undergoing a severe test Of endur-
ance' which may result in its finally
being swallowed up either by the
Turkish Nationalists or the Russian
Bolshevists-
Advices received in London today
confirm news Of the fall of .Kars,
one of the last Of the Armenian
strongholds on trans-Caucasian ter
ritory. 1t is feared here that the
Turks will now be able to join
hands with the Bolshevists after
overrunning the province of Eri-
van.
In British military circles this is
regarded as meaning not that-tne
Armenians' existence is menaced.
but a most serious kind of threat
to British possessions in the Eass-
This fear, however, does not seem
to be shared in well-informed diplo-
matte quarters, where 1t is consid-
cred that Soviet Russia, IL IL has
not yet reached the end Of its teth-
er in military aggressiveness. has
at any rate realized that an essen
tial of its existence is trade with
Great Britain, and that this essen
tial will be denied unless schemes
of conquest are abandoned.
In this connection, IT is reported
tonight that the British government
will within the next few days rel
sumo consideration of the question
of trade relations with the Soviet.
1t is expected that the issue from
this consultation will be final and
successful.
Three points remain to be cleared
up. They are: First, British pris-
oners in Russia. second Soviet
propaganda in England; third. Rus
sian aggression in the East. As re-
CARDS the first two, the British gov
ernment appears to be satisfied that
the evacuation treatment Of the
prisoners in Siberia and Baku has
been satisfactory and that propa-
ganda by the Soviets has not been
in evidence.

COURT TO TEST
JAPLAND
Suit Planned to Determine
Right Of Californians
To Bar Aliens.

Papers already are being prepar-
ed in an American taxpayers suit
to test the constitutionality of the
new anti-Japanese land law in CALI
fornia, II was learned officially at
the State Department yesterday.
The suit will be pushed through to
the United States Supreme Court.
where a motion will be made to
advance It TO first place on the cal
endar.
The suit is the result of a con-
viction in the minds of many Cali
fornians, particularly among mem
bers of the San Francisco Chamber
OF Commerce. that the new refer
endum law is actually in violation
OF the United States Constitution
and clearly In violation OF the ex-
listing Japanese-American treaty of
1911.
1t Is indicated that the suit will
be brought by an American citizen
seeking to dispose Of real estate TO
a Japanese. In the preparation Of
the papers great stress is being laid
upon the decision of the United
States Supreme Court involving va
lidity of ordinances enacted in Bal
timore, Louisville and St. Louis to
segregate the negro population into
particular sections.
Ordinances Invalid.
The court held the Louisville or
dinance invalid under an act of
Congress of 1870. and under the
Fourteenth amendment, on the
ground that IL transgressed the
basic rights of a citizen to acquire,
use and dispose of his property.
In the proposed suit the taxpayer
will protest that the new law inter-
feres with his constitutional right
10 dispose of his property to Japan
ese or any other person whom he
may elect
Opponents of the California land
law in official circles here hold that
IL is in direct contravention of the
treaty of 1911. which guarantees to
the Japanese full privilege, liber-
ties and rights and the possession
of goods and effects of any kind
States.
Say Realty Included.
Such goods and effects" they
maintain clearly includes real estate
and property of any description
whatsoever.
State Department officials main
tanned here yesterday that the ex-
isting treaty is superior to any
State law.
Negotiations between the State
Department and Japan in connec-
tion with the new treaty, now near
ing completion, will proceed during
the progress of the suit. No matter
what the outcome in court, the
treaty which gives "full civil rights
to Japanese now legally in the
United States will be submitted to
the Senate.
If the Supreme Court decides Jap
anese are not entitled to full civil
rights" the treaty will be with
drawn. In such event the Japanese
can obtain redress only through di-
plomacy.

PROBLEMS

One out of every ten people in con
tinental United States is a negro
The present population is between
ten and eleven millions-mOre than
double that of 1865.
The negro population has not in
creased as rapidly as the white.
At the time of the last census there
were $4,000 more female persons than
This means that for every 1000 wOm-
en- there are 9S9 men.
Among the whites the situation was
different; there were 1868 white male
persons for every 1000 white female.
In 1910, thirteen southern states re,
ported negro populations of more
than 100000. In eight of them the
number exceeded 100000. These thir-
teen states contained six-sevenths of
the negro population of the country.
There are 1850 counties in the six
teen southern states; in SIS of them
negroes comprised one-eighth or more
of the total population in 1910; while
in 264, more than half the population
was negro.
There are special problems con-
nected with the adjustment of colored
women in industry and probably in
domestic and personal service.
Welfare agencies, boards, women's
clubs and associations have helped to
secure training and industrial Oppor-
tunities for negroes in towns and cit

Mr.. HOOVER

After being discovered, and his in
ner nature turned to the spotlight, it
turns out that Mr.. Herbert Hoover is
as mortal as most men, and for thai
matter just a little more "medinary.'
For example:
He let the announcement go forth
that he urged the president to buy up
the sugar crop of Cuba at a time
when it could have been purchased
very moderate price.
He let the statement rest there. He
did not let it be understood that his
urging was accompanied with certain
conditions. What were those condI
tons? That we extend credit to Eu
ropean nations at time when con
gress and our government had deter
mined to stop advancing money tc
European government. Another con
ditiOn was that we empower congress
through the board of equalization tc
control the distribution and price OF
the sugar so purchased.
Congressman Byrnes of South Car
olina says that the strange thing
about it is that Mr.. Hoover never
sought to create the impression that
president in this matter until withiu
few weeks when he became an act
i've candidate for the republican nom
nation for the presidency.
In the course Of a speech in con
gress Mr.. Byrnes went on further tt
say:
eff the president of the United
States under the war legislation hat
purchased the sugar crop last August
ten months after the cessation of hos
tilities, and there had been a goot
crop in Louisiana and sugar had de
creased in price, the very gentlemen
who now criticise him for not having
purchased the sugar would have criti
cised him for going into the grocery
business under war powers long aftel
hostilities had ceased"
How true Congressman Byrne:
states the case.
