Morgenthau for Armenia.

President Wilson announces the selection OF
Henry Morgenthau as his personal representative
ia the mediation between Turkey and Armenia.
This choice had been discounted, because Of Mr..
Morgenthau's acquaintance with the problem.

are involved. 1t is not SO easy to anticipate the

"Calomel never should be given
