NEW BURDEN
FOR NEW LEAGUE
Government Of Armenia May Be Turn
ed over to League Of Nations
As Additional
Problem.
TBy Webb Miller. United Press Stan

LONDON. March "A third lmpor-
tant burden soon is to be placed upon
the shoulders of the infant league OF
nations, according to authoritative IN
formation today.
The council of premiers, 1t was sald'
has decided to turn over to the league
the task of taking over the govern
ment of the new Armenian notion.
The councils decision, it was under
stood, will be announced with compile
Ition of the treaty of peace with FUR
key.
League proponents were frankly dis
pleased with the councils attitude TO-
ward their baby organization. Inc
league, they said, while still an en-
bryonic organization, was being bur
dened with tasks which might over
whelm easily even an experienced or
ganization. They expressed sur
prise at the councils change of poll
CIV toward the league" Some league
hackers even indicated their belief
that the premiers intend deliberately
to bury the society of nations before
it becomes a really effective machine.
League enthusiasts were particu-
larly dissatisfied with the councirs
decision to assign to the society.
through it's labor bureau. the task of
reporting on conditions in Russia. This
mission they saw as filled with dyna-
mite" They feared also the coup-
ellis tendency to shift the world flnan-
cial problem to the league. This
Question, the organizations hackers
believed, is sure to "back-fire," and
they insisted that the league should
not be made to bear the blame for
the almost inevitable popular condem-
notion, which they assert is sure to
grow out of any decisions on meas
ures to restore the worlds war
wrecked financial structure. 1t was
intimated that unless the council dele
gates specific powers to the league as
to the financial conference and the
Russian investigation, agreeing to
abide by the leagues decisions or rec
concentrations, league officials will
deem it futile to proceed.
"And if the council does intend to
take the league seriously, zone promi-
ponent said, why is it that the pre-
miers keep turning various problems
over to the league, and at the same
time continue their own deliberations
on the same measures?
The Armenian mandate, these men
believed, will be acceptable to the
league only, with the understanding
that the league is not to be interfered
with, and shall have the power even.
tually to take over Constantinople
should the Turks violate international
rights: One league advocate sum-
med up the situation thus:
"The league of nations does not-at
its very start-want to be placed in
the position of messenger boy, or
a servant of the council of premiers."

World of recent date contained an
article concerning a prominent
leader Of the l. W. w. who had de-

confessed his error.
His espousal of the cause of l. w.
W.-ism in the first place was largely
a matter of impulse and adventure.
Social revolution had a strange and
wondrous sound to his ears, and for
a long time he let his fancy have
free rein. After a while. however,
his sound sense began to assert itself
and he endeayored to take the inner

EYES ON CALIFORNIA
.CUniyersal serviee.)

Following a report at the head
quarters of the National Woman's
party here yesterday, that Gov. Rob
erts of Tennessee would call q spec
cial session of the legislature on
August 9, to vote on the suffrage
amendment, Miss Alice Paul, chair
man of the woman's party, declared
that credit for ratification of the
amendment would go to the Demo-
Gratis.
Miss Paul declared that IL an ac-
ceptable candidate were nominated
at San Francisco. the bulk of the
woman vote, which will be fully half
of the electorate. will be cast for
Democratic candidates.
Suffrage leaders declare that rati-
fication of the amendment by the
Tennessee legislature Is a foregone
conclusion. as they already have as
surance of support from consider
ably more than a majority of the
members. They regard the victory
as complete and final, and will make
no further serious effort to capture
the legislatures of other States that
have failed to ratify suffrage.
Primary Loss Regretted.
Miss Sue White. Tennessee chair
man of the National Woman's
party, expressed disappointment that
Gov. Roberts did not call the legis-
lature at an earlier date, so that
the newly enfranchised women OF
Tennessee could vote at the State
primaries, which are to be held Au-
gust 5.
A telegram received at suffrage
headquarters from Senator Carter
Glass. of Virginia, chairman of the
resolutions committee of the DEM
ocratic convention, said that the
suffrage plank to be presented by
the committee to the convention
will be identical with that drafted
by the legislative department OF the
