LEAGUE ONLY HOPES
FOR WILSON'S AID

GeneVd, NON. Ai.-1HS oI1i1ooS
among delegates of the assembly of
the League of Nations toward the
appeal of the league to President
Wilson to act as mediator in the
Armenian situation appears to be
one of hope without expectation that
the United States will relieve Europe
and the league of an embarrassing
question.
Behind the admitted necessity of
doing something for Armenia there is
conflict of European interests in
volved. Great Britain, it is under
stood, would look with great dis
favor on intervention by any power
having rival interests. Action by the
United States in Armenia, it is held,
would involve no such complications.
In defaunlt of action by President
Wilson, general opinion here is that
France is the country most likely to
offer favorable reply to the mediation
appeal made by the council of the
league yesterday to the various
powers, at the same time the message
to President Wilson was sent. Ac-
ceptance, by France, however, it is
understood would be on condition OF
! full support by the other powers.
The activities of the assembly have
been transferred for the time being
from the hall of the reformation
where the full sessions Of the body
have been held, to the headquarters
of the secretariat. Here the com
mittees and subcommittee were
holding sessions throughout the day
They will continue their labors unit
Tuesday next, when the assembly
will reconvene, hear the first reports
of the committees and take up the
resolution of George Nicoil Barnes Of
Great Britain asking the council tc
explain why it did not intervene tc
prevent the clash between the Pole:
and Russian Bolsheviki last summer
Committee number six Of the as
sembly has finally settled upon the
principle of its report on disarma
ment, the French viewpoint pre-
vailing. The recommendation will be
that disarmament be imposed only
with due regard for the security Of
the different states.
! While a subcommittee is drawing
up this report the committee i:
taking up the question of an economic
blockade as an arm of the league
against offending nations.
Washington, Nov. 27.-President
Wilson received today the appeal OF
the League of Nations that ne act as
mediator in the Armenian situation
The message reached the White
House last night from Geneva and
was delivered to the President this
morning.
| Mr.. Wilson already has consented
to fix the boundary lines of Armenia
i but there was no information at the
White House as to his ideas on the
subject of mediation.

ing the most points, the only world
record was made by Frank Loomis of
the Chicago A. A. in the 40O-metre
hurdles with ;54, second better than
made by c. Bacon in the London
olympics in 1908. In both the hur-
dies and the 100 metre dash four of
the six finalists were Americans, of
whom three ran first in the hurdles
and two first in the 100 metres
A majority of the experts at the fin
ish of the 100-metre event but not the
officials insisted that j. V. Holz of the
University of Missouri was third in
stead of fifth, as officially placed, but
a protest entered by the Americans !
was Withdrawn when 1t WAS realized
there was no going behind the official
decision.
In the other event the heats before
the semi-finals in the SO0-metre run,
all the Americans retained places.
The Americans performances netted
them 43 points in the track and field
events, II in the hurdles, Is in the
