Paris, Dec. I.
There is absolutely no truth to the
report that Jules ]. Jusserand contem-
plates resigning as French Ambassador
to the United States" high authority
in the Foreign Office here told THE New
YORK HERALD correspondent this after
noon when he was asked about reports
that Ambassador Jusserand was consid-
ering presenting his resignation rather
than continue in his present post during
the Harding administration.
Reports that NJ. Jusserand contem-
plates resigning are untrue. First, be-
cause the French Government has ex-
pressed the most complete satisfaction
with his work in Washington" the off,
cial continued, "and has assured NJ.
Jusserand himself 1t does not desire to
transfer his activities to this side of the
Atlantic, and secondly, because the
American public as well as the Ameri-
can press, never gave such praise to a
French envoy as that accorded our
present Ambassador to the United
States.
at would be little short of a calamity
IL. in the present circumstances. the
French Government had to seek a sue
cessor to Ambassador Jusserand who
alone is capable of carrying on the ideals
of this country in diplomatic circles in
Washington He knows this well.
Undoubtedly M. Jusserand has been
close to the Wilson Administration. That
is only another proof that he is ca
pable diplomatist. Also he was close to
Mr. Roosevelt. and has faithfully inter-
preted the ideals of France abroad
throughout his diplomatic career
THE intention of the French Govern
ment Is not to change its foreign poll
cies and representatives II it can be
avoided. 1t was only with the sincerest
regret that the Government accepted the
| resignation of Paul Cambon as Ambas-
sador in London.
There is no reason to believe that
Ambassador Jusserand will be unaccept-
able to the Harding Administration"

BERLIN VETOES ALLIED
PLEBISCITE CONCESSION
Refuses Delay to Upper
Silesia Non-Residents.

CopUight, 1920, bv THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau
Berlin, Dec. 1.
Arrangements reported TO have been
made by France and England whereby
non-residents of upper Silesla may vote
a fortnight later than residents in the
forthcoming plebisclte there will not be
agreed to by Germany. Elections on
this basis. it was announced. would not
be recognized.
The German Government holds that
the conditions OF the plebiscite were es-
tablished by the Treaty OF Versailles
and cannot be amplified by one party
without the assent of the other. Prece-
dents were cited in the case of the West
Prussian and other plebiscites. where no
distinction was made between residents
and non-residents.
The fear here Is that a German ma
jority in upper Silesia may be obtained
only through the vote of non-residents
and that the Supreme Council will be
guided by the wishes of the residents
alone

GENEVA, Dec. 1.-The text of the mes
sages of Spain and Brazil regarding
Armenian mediation have been made
public. Spains acceptance was signed
by Premier Dato and is as follows:
In reply to the telegram of November
26. I have the honor to say that the
Government of his Majesty the King of
: spain. although not in touch with the
circumstances connected with the tragic
situation in Armenia. regards with the
most profound sympathy this unfortu-
nate people. which is the victim of so
many sufferings. and although the
Spanish Government is unable by the
terms of the resolution of the Assembly
to appreciate It's exact scope, neverthe-
less 1t holds itself ready to contribute
gladly to any action of a moral or diplo-
matte nature looking to a peaceful solu-
tion, pursued with so much zeal and
devotion by the League of Nations"
The telegram from Brazil, signed by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, says:
in reply to the telegram as to the
resolutions of the Assembly regarding
Armenia. l have the honor to inform
your Excellency that the Government of
Brazil Is ready to contribute alone or
end to the situation of suffering Ar
menia."
Austria was unanimously voted a
member of the League of Nations by the
Commission for the Admission of New
states here to-day. 1t is expected the
Assembly of the league will ratify this
action.
As TO the application by Bulgaria for
admission, Serbia, Greece and Rumania
have indicated they were seriously OPP
posed to the admission of Bulgaria. and
1t appeared probable they would make
an Issue of the matter
The Council of the league to-day unan-
imously approved the invitation drawn
up by the Military Commission calling
on the United States to name a repre-
sentative to sit on the commission The
invitation expressed the view that the
general consideration of the subject of a
reduction of armaments would be
greatly facilitated" If the United States
Government could see it's way to send a
representative to sit in a consultative ca
paclty with the commission.

GENEVA. Dec. 1.-Three nations, the
United States. Spain and Brazil are to
conduct the negotiations on behalf of
Armenia with Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
head of the Turkish Nationalist move
ment, which Arthur j. Balfour of the
British delegation here described to
the Assembly of the League Of Ma
tions last week as bargaining with a
bandit"
President Wilson's acceptance of the
mediation proposal arrived here stimuli
taneously with the acceptances of the
two other Powers, thus obliging the
council to accept all three offers, and
leaving the details of the joint plan of
mediation to be worked out later. In

Situation Is Complex.

The situation which has arisen seems
not to have been looked for. and in some
quarters it is regarded as regrettable be-
cause of the complications of the eti-
quette of the procedure involved. On the
other hand. many hold that joint media
ton will have greater weight. especially
since two of the participants are New
World nations and one a European neu-
trail.
Unquestionably the diplomatic situa-
ton which has now arisen is difficult
and delicate. because President Wilson
has put 1t up to the council to virtually
tell him what to do. Thus the council
has become involved in the Turkish
treaty situation. which the British and
French Premlers are discussing in pur-
suance of the plan which virtually. ig-
nores the council of the league in such
matters.
The replies to the three offers are be-
ing drafted tonight by Paul Hymans.
president of the assembly; Mr.. Balfour
of the British delegation and Rene vi
viani of the French delegation. Mr.. Bal
four made 1t plain that while joint me-
diatlon was suggested the council ex-
pected the United States to assume the
leadership.
Just what course the council will
suggest. where 1t will propose that the
representatives of the three nations meet
Mustapha Kemal, who is not recognized
by any nation, and what procedure will
be followed by the representatives of the
Powers which have entered upon this
extraordinary undertaking nobody here
seems TO know tonight. the Council
evidently being in great perplexity.

son, though the leagues note asking for

in his individual capacity. offering per-

aged in the councils request.
