 $40,000 COMMISSION
 Boiling stated that Sands received s4e . 0c0 commission from the Wallace Downey Shipbuilding corporation for engineering this additional credit When asked by Representative Kelley, on cross-examina- tion, if commission of t40ooo on a credit of a25.0oo was not an excessive amount. Boiling stated the shipbuilding company had paid higher rates in New York.
 The fact was then. brought out by Rep resentative Kelley that previous testl- mony alleged that the s15oOo was not available as a credit, the money being charged. it was alleged, to a savings account in the Washington bank and not subject to withdrawal by check.
 Mir. Tweedale, subsequently in his tes- timony, corroborated the statements of MT. Boiling and said he considered the bank bound for $125,000 "and had any thing happened the shipping board would have gone against the bank. The charges made by Sands regarding the alleged bribe were characterized by Lester Sisler former secretary of the shipping board as an "haliucination'
 Sisler testified he believed Sands made the charges against him in particular be- cause he was peeved ovr his (Sislr) refusal to intercede for him when he was indicted for misrepresentation of certain funds of the Commercial National hank.
 The witness said he had known Sands for a number of years. and that he had been interested in several banking trans actions with him. At one tima ba a d,nl1 he drew check for <, 900 on Sands, hank and later told Sands ''to take care of it." oA

 You offered to the United States the opportunity of under taking the humanitarian task Of using it's good offices to end the present tragedy being enacted in Armenia, and you assure me that your proposal involves no repeti- ton of the invitation to accept mandate for Armenia.
 While the invitation to accept the mandate for Armenia has been rejected by the Senate of the United States, this country has re- peatedly declared it solicitude for the fate and welfare of the Arme- nian people in a manner and to an extent that justifies you in saying that the fate of Armenia has al- ways been of special interest to the American people.
 q am without authorization to offer, or to employ the military forces of the United States in any project for the relief of Armenia, and any material contribution would require the authorization of the Congress, which is not now in session, and whose action I could not forecast.

REPLY NOT RECEIVED

Geneva, November 3o.-The Armenian committee of the League of Nations up
 to late hour tonight had not received President Wilson's reply to the request for mediation in Armenia nor the reply of any of the other governments ad- dressed, and had not yet decided on any , plan of action.
 , The committee has been consulting diff ferent military advisors on various plans proposed, looking to settlement of the hostilities in Armenia. One of the plans discussed was the appointment of high commissioner for Armenia, who would be empowered to receive support to f- nance whatever action might appear pos sible, for instance. the armng of the Armenians themselves and providing of f.cers to conduct campaign against Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish na- ticnal leader.
 In this connection, one of the names
 men tioned was that of General Leonard Wood. but it cannot be confirmed that
 his name has been considered by the
 Armenian committee.

Among officials in close touch with the President, it was suggested that on account of the familiarity of Henry Morgenthau, former ambassador to Cur key. with the near eastern problems. it was possible that he would be the Representative through whom Mir. will son might act The President already has before him much data bearing on Armenia in connection with the task entrusted to him of fixing Armenian boundaries.
 Question as to the fate of the Ar menian nation was raised in the league assembly at Geneva by Rene Vivini of France, who declared that the attitude of the league toward Armenia would constitute either vindication or con- demnation of the league to the world. The Armenian resolution was adop. ed and it was determined to seek among the powers a mediator in the struggle between Armenia and the Turkish na l. tionalists. who since the erection of Armenia as an independent state after the armistice have threatened to over whelm the country.
