All screens ings of buildings will be repaired When the permanent buildings are finished and properly screened, the boys will be assured of healthful home on farm that the state may be proud to advertise"
 1 Dr. Garrison and Mrs. Ellis Brown, statistician, will take up with the Arr kansas Funeral Directors the ques- tion of promptly reporting vital sta-

BRYAN TAXES ISSUE
 WITH PRESIDENT ON
 ARMENIAN MANDATE:
COmmOner Finds Score of Ob-
 iectiOns to the Plan

Washington, May William y. Bryan took flat issue tod,y with President Wilson on the question of American mandate over Armenia, de- claring in a statement that "any mandate is impossible"
 The United States, MT. Bryan said, could do more toward making the world safe for democracy, "even for democracy in Armenia" bv recoGniz- ing the Armenian republic and en- tering the league of nations Gas tke friend of all little countries"
 "Anv mandate is impossible" MT. Bryan's statement said, without o7h- CT preface.
 "The one proposed for Armenia if accepted would involve us in an en- ormous expenditure in time when war taxation is still so grievous a burden that congress has difficulty in finding the monev to do justice to the men who served in the world var "Tt would involve ns in the policies of Europe and would compel us to deal with implacable race hatreds.
 "It would involve us in the fierce II | tries.'
 "Nearly 100 wears ago." continued MT. Bryan, "Henry Clav set forth in dealing with aspirations of South American republics. Referring to the old contention of monarchists that the subject peoples were inca pablo of self government Clay declar- ed it to be a reflection on the AL mighty to assume that he would ere ate people incapable of self-eovern- ment and leave them to be the vic tins of kings an demperors.
 "All the colonial exploitation of helpless peoples is defended on the theory of their incapacitv for self government We cannot indorse this theory It would be injurious tc the Armenians instead of kindness to affirm or admit them incapable of self-eovernment. If it were once admitted they would never be hermit, ted to outgrow the presumption ot incanacitv.
 "Christianitv does not require us to abardon our idea of government ar to adort monarchial forms in ren. derine aid to suffering peoples American ideas are entirely consis tent with christianitv We can rec ognize the independence of the Ar menan republic and send as rerre sentative to Armenia. 9 man who ha' | faith in dmocracv and who believed that governments should rest upor coosent of the governed"
 President Wilson's message askins authority to accept mandate ovel Armenia probably will not be con sidered by the house foreign affairs committee until after the convention recess.
 I There is considerable democratic opposition to the proposal. according \ to democratic leaders. who declare that no attempt would be made t' obtain hasty consideration.

GEDDES DENIES THAT BRITAIN IS SEEKING,
 MONOPOLY IN 0I[
Ambassador Also Defends In. ternatiOnal Policy of
 Nation

New York, May 25.-Sweeping de- nial that Great Britain was seeking to i monopolize the worlds fuel supply was made here tonight by Sir Auck- i land Geddes, British amba ssador speaking at the Pilgrims dinner. Statements that Great Britain had such intention, he added, were as completely without basis as charges i that Britain today was moved by mil itarist impulses. 1 "I say without fear of informed criticism" Sir Auckland declared "that British foreign policy is di- rected against no man but is inspired by the desire to seek peace, to bring order out of chaos, to extend the boundaries of freedom, to improve the lot of the oppressed and to ln- crease the material prosperity of the world. That is our program; those are the principles by which l, as British representative in this land, am guided from day to day."
 The ambassador touched upon re- ports that the British government was trying to pool the war debts of Eu- rope "and drag you (the United States) into the pool"
 "You may seek far and wide for ev- idence on which that statement could he based" he said. "You will not find it. If you look closely you Will find m ygovernment trying to pour oil on the troubled waters of Europe and you will find onlookers who seize the oil as it is poured and throw It lon the firse of anti British feeling 1 here.
 "I realize that traditional hatred and ancient grudges die hard. think I can make full allowances for these things. but I do plead with each ana all to realize that if they have oil to hour they will better serve their day and generation and the cause of all humanity by selecting troubled wa, ters to receive their libation and avoiding smouldering fires.
 Tn answering what he character ized as "wild duck" publications as to British purposes, the amoassaao' dealt first with the British navy, say, mo that while more than thousand ships, including four battle cruisers wera under construction when the ar mistice was signed, one cruiser, the Hood, too far advanced to permit can. ca! cellation, was the only maJor s"'S completed. .;u,,
