LONDON, December reformation
of an international credit commission to
stand between the borrowing and cred
itor nations is being pushed as the re-
suit of the meeting of the council of the
league of nations, which decided to
sponsor such a body for the economic
reorganization of the nations affected
by the war
The chief feature of the plan. accord
ing to the best of authority, is an in
vestment council with the powers of an
international court. Participating Dor
rowing nations. after pledging their
assets with the league to secure credits,
their protection they have the right to
appeal to the council, whose decisions
on these questions will be final and
binding.
Governments. which accept the
scheme. must, if they desire to protect
their citizens investments, do so
through the council.
While the scheme is conceived osten-
sibly in behalf of the borrowing nations
of Europe, yet behind the plan is the
idea that, as the United States must
export, it is expected to approve this
credit plan. even though it will thereby
recognize the league of nations, whose
position will thus be greatly strength
ened-
The relation of the newly formed
American credit companies to the pro-
posed council is bringing considerable

LONDON, December 22.-The Ar

annulled all foreign loans. Especially
the American loan." which the Ar
menian workers have been toiling to
repay. says a Reuter- dispatch from
Constantinople.
The Armenian soviet has decreed
the abolition of private property and
the reputation of all debts and other
obligations, says a dispatch to the
London Times from Constantinople.
The dispatch adds that the Ameri-
can relief committees, which have been
withdrawn, have been assisted in re-
moving all supplies from Alexandropol
by the followers of Mustapha kemal
PaSha, the Turkish nationalist leader.
who also is evacuating the territory.
This fact, says the correspondent, is
regarded as confirmation of the re-
port that the Russians insisted on the
recognition of all territory east OF
the Arpa-Chai river as Armenian.

considerable alarm in official circles
here 1t is feared the next action Of
the soviet army will be an invasion
of Georgia, with the aim of imposing
soviet regime. thus completing the
hegemony of the bolsheviki over the
entire Caucasus.
The soviet organization of Armenia is
preceding along the same lines as those
followed in Azerbaijan. After abolition
of private ownership of property. the
soviets repudiated the country's debts.
People Flee to Ships.
Independent Georgia has been tolerat-
advantages offered at Batum, which
has been regarded in Moscow as a cor
riiOr which permitted the bolSheviki to
bring in supplies from Europe. Reliable
information from Batum, however, in
dicates serious disturbances, the Geor-
gian garrison there having revolted. This
resulted in a panic and people stormed
cape before the arrival of bolshevik
troops. which were reported in. the
neighbohood.
It is understood the allies regard the
situation as so serious that they have
considered sending warships to insure
the evacuation of allied missions in
Georgia.
Food Shortage Acute.

between soviet Russia and Georgia has
not been carried out, and as a conse-

Walter Reed Hospital is to have the
greatest Christmas celebration in the
history of the institution, beginning
tomorrow and extending through
Christmas day and perhaps for sew
eral days thereafter.
School children of Washington and
nearby states, civilians and soldiers
nave joined in planning a merry
Christmas for the 1900 soldier pa
tients at the great military hospital
on north Georgia avenue. Nothing
has been left undone that the Red
Cross and the other agencies working
at the hospital can think of to make
the boys happy.
Letters From Scholars.
AS preliminary to the celebration
proper, every soldier at Walter Reed
today received a letter from. a school
child of Washington. These letters
were written by members of the Ju-
nior Red Cross in the local public
schools.
And every letter will be answered
by some Soldier boy" to whom ad-
dressed. Patiently, and some times
with actual pain. patients today wrote
replies to the childish letters from the
country's heroes.
II hope this jar of jelly won't give
you the stomach ache" wrote one pu-
pill in letter accompanying the jelly.
Hope you will be well when you
get this" stated another child's letter.
Prevents Distributed.
F. w. Doherty, field director of the
Red Cross at the hospital, has been
busy distributing the letters and the
nd
to the soldiers throughout the wards.
Literally thousands Of pounds of can
dy and hundreds of baskets Of oranges
and other fruits have been received
for the patients from the school chill
dren Of Washington.
There is SO much of it, in fact, that
after every patient at Walter Reed is
given a generous share, the remainder
will be sent to the sick at Fort Myer,
the Naval Hospital and other institu-
tions in and around the District.
Festivities officially begin at Walter
Reed at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
in the Red Cross conva1escent house
always busy and popular place with
patients, where men in wheel chairs
may be seen talking to comrades whe
are able to get around on their legs
At 2 o'clock tomorrow Afternoon

Fifteen Big Chrfstmas Trees.
There will be about fifteen bis
Christmas trees at Walter Reed. and
fifty smaller ones, every ward beine
supplied with tree, and every tree
to be trimmed with red, white and
blue electric lights. Trimming the
trees will be the big order Of business
beginning at 4:s0 o'clock tomorrow

ator Kenyon asked Mr.. Morrow.
I'VE did, and the commission issued
it, with some changes" the witness
told him. .
Mines Freed From Contracts.
"And its general effect was to free
mines from their liability to furnish
coal they had contracted to deliver!
Senator Kenyon continued.
only in SO far as the release was
in the public interest and necessary
to get supplies to keep people in the
northwest and New England from
freezing this winter" Mr.. Morrow re-
turned He added that the contract
breaking allowed the coal to move to
the great lakes during the summer.
Senator Kenyon developed that the
national association had agreed to go
into the courts and defend the order
in case any operators brought in
junction proceedings against it. that
a number of the association members
dissented from the policy, and that
Colorado local association Withdrew
as body because of it.
The payments to the geological sur

figures, Mr.. Morrow said, allowed the
maintenance of practice started
during the war, for which Congress
later reinstated appropriations. IL
cost the association $4,000 up until
last July, and he said that furnishing
the money had not allowed the asso-
citation to control the compilation
Senator Kenyon challenged this and
produced several letters passing
through association channels con-
corning the weekly statements as to
how compilations should be arranged
and for what purpose the figures
could be used.

D. w. Wentz, the associations pres
ident, testified to purchasing for the
War Department at the height of the
shortage 10000 tons of coal, for
which the government paid $11.50
ton, while another corporation which
he controlled was mining and selling
contract coal for 1920 and $3.S7 q
ton.
Correspondence Is Revealed.
The examination of the two Of
ficials of the association was en-
livened from time to time as Sena-
tors produced correspondence taken
from the organizations files during
an unnannounced search of it's Offices
in Washington last Saturday and
Sunday, and questioned sharply the
purpose and public interest of the
steps taken by the association and
government agencies alike.
Mr.. wentz declared that his pur-
chases of coal for the War Depart
ment had been made over protest. and
agreed to a suggestion of Senator
Calder, republican, New York. that "it
and increased the difficulty for the
public"
"A representative of the War De-
partment came to me and said that
the department had ordered all its
coal for the winter bought Immediate
~ during September" Mr.. Wentz said.
Il said that the department should
buy little then, a little later on. and
not go into the market for the full
amount, because it could all be OBJ
was informed that the order was to
buy Immediately. The story I got
was that the Secretary of War felt the
step necessary"
Got $4,000 Commission.
Mr.. wentz said he received commits
sions amounting to $4,000 on the pur-
chases. Senator Calder. producing a
sheet Of figures, said that millions of
tons" had been obtained for the Army
by other buyers during September
and October at prices ranging from
81. 80 to SIC. Another report from the
Shipping Board, saying that bunker
coal at Hampton roads during the
summer and fall had cost the Shipping
Board $3.50 a ton, in quarantine. Mr..
Morrow treated by stating that it
was as inexcusable an example Of
government inefficiency as I ever
saw"
Chiefly the examination touched the
factions relative to coal shortage taken
'by the government agencies, pre-
