wilson Asks for Mandate

DREDICATING his message on a resolu-
ton recently adopted by the Senate, in
which il expressed congratulations and
good wishes to Armenia on the recognition
of its independence and requesting the
President if not Incompatible with the pub
lie interest. to cause Il United States war
ship and force OF marines to be dispatched
to the port OF Batum to protect American
lives and interests. the President makes an
earnest request of Congress for authority
to accept Il mandate over The new republic.
While the sympathy OF the American peo-
pie for the sufferngs OF the Armenians and
Solcitude for their future is unQuestioned,
the President certainly mistakes the tenn
per of Congress, if he expects that body to
grant him the authority he requests. and
in such refusal Congress will reflect the
will of the American people.
The treaty OF Versailles places Armenia
under the protection OF the league Of ma
lions. with the mandate subject to the guild
alcc and direction OF the league and since
this country. by action of the Senate. has
declined to become party TO the treaty
and member Of the league, acceptance Of
this mandate by America would be tanta-
mount to declaring allegiance to the league
without the qualifying reservations which
the Senate adopted as condition precedent
to becoming d member. Aside from the
above. there are many other reasons why
the people OF this country are opposed to
the acceptance Of the proposed mandate. of
which il is sufficient TO say that opposition
is amply justified by the enforced cntangle
mcnt in European politics it would involve.
with the necessity OF maintaining there for
period Of many years force of Amert-
can troops anywhere from 30 900 to 200 600.
al a cost in money 10 American
taxpayers according to the estimate
of tho Harbord commission, of from
$500. 100000 to 81. SOC, 900 900 for the first
i've years. with the further possibility OF
heavy toll OF American lives in the effort to
preserve order in that portion of the tight
ing cockpit OF Europe"
Under secret treaties made during the
war. tho allied Premiers have completed
their plans for the partition of the Turkish
empire, but continuing its rule over por-
ton Of Europe over the protest OF Presi-
dent Wilson, apportoning rich slices of its
territory to themselves. and now with un-
mitigated gall they ask the United States
10 take over the protection and uplift Of
the po"ertyridden Armenian people, with
The virtual certainty of form OF
warfare that would be a heavy tax
upon its resources of men and money to
establish its unchallenged authority and
. provide security and good government for
the people OF that country. The United
States has tremendous problems of It's own
to solve, and obligations enough the
! Western Hemisphere to look after without
going over 10 Europe to assume burdens
which have been committed TO the league
OF nations, for whose operation the Euro
pcan powers have assumed responsibility.

For life is drcary old thing.
And life is n drag in the mart.
And there only is living where nightingales

And where love has its throne In the heart!

But
Crave only the richness OF freedom and health.
And my roof the unmcasurabic SKY!
Palaces rear their proud heads;
Stretching the turrc;s note
OF triumph is matched by the thorn mat

Who has such palace as this

And the breeze from the South brings

Rest me my eyes the wonderful flowers
And the great sky's cerulcan blues.

And it's Natures big banquet for mine!

Silt might be well Tor Inc to call your
attention to AN error which appeared in the

apply TO the rural free delivery service OF

motor vehicle truck service. which is diff
ferent branch of the postal service, and which
was established for the purpose Of bringing
the producer and consumer In closer touch.
THIS latter service Is in cfeci only Ia Inn

space available for the stream of traffic is
increased, but even in the narrow streets,
il parking were confined to one side, there
would be sufficient. On the one-way streets
cars can be parked on both sides. even at

Perhaps the old system was not the best that

is far worse. 1t is so bad that many car
owners are being driven back to the street
