By Associated Press

Geneva, November 24.-Action in ccu- formity with the resolution for Armenian intervention recently passed by the as- sembly of the league of nations, was taken today by the council of the league.
 The council decided to ask the general secretary of the league to prepare and submit a telegram to be sent to the powers in pursuance of the resolution of tine assembly that a government willing to undertake mediation between Musta- pha Kemmel Pasha, the Turkish Ma tionalist leader and the Armenians, be sought.
 It is expected that the United States will be among the powers to whom the telegram is sent concerning intervention in Armenia.
 It transpired today that the council on Sunday invited Sweden, Norway and Denmark to join in the Wilma expedition, sending ten men each.
 The efforts of the council committees to keep their deliberations under cover without offending too much the strong sentiment in the assembly for absolute openness. are provoking considerable comment and amusement There even
 s talk among the more independent del- egates of a revolt against what they con- sider sln effort on the part of the coun- ell secretariat to override the assembly.
 The committees, suo-committees and steering committees of the assembly and council of the league were all in session today but beyond the announcement of the councils decision in the Armenian .ase and that regarding the Wilma expe- dition little could be learned of what was accomplished.
 TYPHUS COMMISSION REPORTS
 The subcommittee on typhus heard the report of the typhus commission which recently returned from Poland. over crowdpg of the population in the area recently evacuated by the bolsheviki af- ter the restruction of great hsny houses, mas intensified the spread of this disease, according to the commissions re- rort.
 Cholera also broke out in the same re- zion in September, while the prevalence of typhoid completes the picture of mis- cry presented by the commission. The council was unable to get the powers 10 unite a necessary programme of relief and passed the problem on to the assem- hly.
 It is understood the committee on ar rcament, new members and amendments
  No amendments this session and no gen. eral armament until conditions have be- come more settled in eastern Europe and execution of the peace treaties is as sured.
 The admission of Austria, Bulgaria, Luxembourg and Finland to membership and postponment of action 'on other ap- plications.
 It was pointed out by some delegations that the speed shown by these commit tees in getting on with their work may mean prolonged discussion when their reports come before the assem mbly as the committees may decide by a majority vote while that of the assembly must be unanimous
 The question of amendments notably promises further debate, as the Scanti- navians do not accept the report of the amendments committee and will fight it on the floor. Of the most important subjects on the agenda there remain the economic blockade, the international court mandates and the relations be- tween the council of the league and the assembly The last named subject is eX- pected to give rise to the sharpest con- tention. It involves discussion of the proposition of Honorio Pueyrredon of Ar gentina, that all members of the council be elected by the assembly which might take control of the council from the powers who, under the treaty of Versail- les. were given five out of the nine mem bers of the council to be appointed by themselves
