of Eighteen Men.

The actual task of rounding up
Brooklyn and Long Island draft dodgers
began yesterday when Federal Judge
Howe, sitting In the Federal Building in
Brooklyn. signed bench warrants for the
arrest OF eighteen men. The warrants
were placed before Judge Howe by As
sistant District Attorney Gilmore and
are merely a first batch. as 2,lSl In
dictments have been returned.
The District Attorneys office wrote
letters to the eighteen men against whom
the campaign has started and waited ten
days before taking action. The burden
of going out and bringing the men In
falls upon Marshal James M. Power.

LEAGUE SEEKS TO
HELP ARh|EN|ANS
Appeal to Powers Is Agreed On
Against Aggression by Turk
ish Nationals.
.PLEADS.PR0MPT ACTION
ealfour Explained Failure of Council
to Find Mandatory for Armenia
-Refers to Failure Of y. S. to
Accept Mandate.

Geneva-The assembly of the
League of Nations decided, without a
dissenting vote, to appeal to the
powers in the hope of finding a gov
eminent willing to undertake media
ton between the Turkish Nationalists
under Mustapha Renal Pasha and the
Armenians.
Earnest debate preceded the vote on
the resolution, which was presented by
M. Viviani, former premier of France,
inviting the council to take the action
indicated. It threatened at times, how
ever, to justify predictions Of the
leagues opponents that the work of
the assembly would founder on the
rule requiring a unanimous vote.
Mr.. Balfour of England explained
the failure of the council to find a
mandatory for Armenia. He .eferred
to the refusal of the United States to
accept a mandate and hoped that the
committee OF the assembly might do
better.
viviani Pleads Earnestly.
M. Viviani pleaded warmly for
prompt action, provoking the first en-
thusiastic demonstration of the assem-
bly,. He declared that if the assembly
was unable TO do better than name an
other committee it would proclaim it's
own impotence.
It was remarked that Lord Robert
Cecil applauded vigorously from the
South African bench, while the Eng
lish delegates, Mr.. Balfour and H. A.
l.. Fisher, remained Indifferent It
seemed against an eventual military
expedition more than against media
ton, as proposed by NJ. Viviani
Although DR.. Frithjof hansen was
the only one to speak boldly in favor
of an expeditionary force to deal with
the Turkish Nationalist leader, all
others, except Mr.. Balfour, approached
as closely as they could to this even
tuality without actually saying so.
Fight Seems Imminent.
The genera impression, after the
debate, was that the assembly favored
fighting Renal Pasha, If no other way
was found to end the conflict in Ar.
menia.
There was moment of supreme
tension when the vote was reached as
the attitude of Mr. Balfour seemed to
indicate he would prevent a unanimous
vote.
NJ. Viviani, Castor da Cunha, Lord
Robert Cecil, M. La Fontaine (Bel~
gian), H. Branting and Dr. hansen con-
ferred and decided to combine on the
proposition as advocated by the French
and South African delegates.
To the great relief and surprise Of
the assembly Mr.. Balfour was one of
the first to rise and vote for the reso-
luton.

LEAGUE DISCUSSES GERMANY

Considered Doubtful.

; Geneva-Mandates, open diplomacy
and the admission of former enemy
states to the League of Nations fur
nished material; for discussion in the
assembly Of the League Of Nations
For tho first time the word revision"
was pronounced-in connection with
Article eighteen OF the covenant Of the
League. which provides for the regis
tration Of treaties or international en-
gagements. For the first time, also,
the viewpoint Of labor as regards the
League was presented.
=. Twice again the admission Of for
mer enemy states into the League was
advocated. Labor was quoted by Mr..
Barnes az in large majority demand
ing it. There now have been repre-.
scented in the demands for the admis-
'ison Of the former enemy states South
Africa, Great Britain, Switzerland, Ar.
gentjna and Scandinavia. It still ap
pears, however. that no one Of the de-
legations is ready to take the initiative
in proposing the election Of Germany

The Herald appreciates the fact that
numerous unsolicited subscribers have
joined our. large family of readers of
late, and that our old subscribers are
rapidly renewing. And Mr.. Subscriber,
did you notice that our paper was con-
siderably enlarged couple Of weeks
ago-equal to five and one.half col.
umns Of reading matter and this besides
the eight columns that were added a
year ego, making an increase in space
over the old size Of 30 per cent. In
other words, although the cost Of issu'
ing paper has enormously increased in
the last four years, more than the in
crease in the subscription price has
been put back into the betterment Of
the paper. "Uncle Dudley's Column, !"
"Hogville News" "The Clancy Kids"
and "Daddy's Bedtime Story" are
alone worth more than the price Of the
Herald g subscription, and these are but
a small part Of the excellent matter
that appears in the columns of the pa
per, throughout the year, aside from
.chronicling the various doings through
out the city and county. You could
attend to that Herald subscription
NOW.
