Wilson to Demand
Batum as Port for
Armenian Republic
Important City OH Black Sea.
Nov Under Allied Rule:
President TO Carry Out
Arbitration of Borders

WASHINGTON, May % (By The
Associated Press)-In arbitrating the
boundaries of Armenia, President viii
son, it is said, will insist that the new
republic be given access to the sea
through Batum, which the Allied Su-
preme Council has tentatively decided
shall be a free port under inter-Allied
control.
Batum is one of the most important
ports on the Black Sea and is the ter
minus of the Trans-Caucasian pipe
lines to the extensive Baku oil fields.
It also is the outlet for Georgia and
Azerbaijian. 1t was to this port that
the President was requested in a re-
cent Senate resolution, to send war
ship with marines for the protection Of
American lives and property there and
along the line of railroad leading TO
Baku.
Under the Turkish treaty, Turkey
and Armenia and the other high CON
tracing powers expressly agree rot
only to refer to arbitration Of President
Wilson the question OF the boundaries
VI al illclt4Nt, DQL etiSO " GCCSpL any
stipulation he may prescribe as to
access to the sea for the independent
state OF Armenia"
The State Department, it is under
stood, has begun the preparation of a
memorandum designed to assist the
President in the determination of the
Armenian boundaries, as the President
will undertake this work regardless Of
the action by Congress on his request
that he be given authority to accept
for this country a mandate over Ar
mena.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, the
Republican leader, announced to-day
that he would seek to call up to-mor-
row the Foreign Relations Committee
resolution proposing refusal of Presi-
dent Wilson's request for authority to
accept mandate over Armenia. Sena-
tor Lodge said there would not be
much discussion Of the measure by Re

IS AWARDED NITTI
BY ITALIAN SENATE
Premier Declares Italy Anx-
ious To Settle AdriatiC
Dispute.
by international News service.)

Rome, April "A resolution eX~
pressing confidence in the Italian
government headed by President
Nitti was adopted by the senate to-
day by vote of 107 to II. Before
the vote was taken the premier
made a speech, declaring that Italy
is anxious to enter into negotia'
tions with Jugo-Slavia at once FOR
a settlement of the Adriatic dis
pute.
Russia must be rehabilitated and
we must place Germany in a posi-.
ton to produce in order to main
tain the equilibrium of Europe,
said the premier. IF the ex-kaiser
was responsible for the war the
German people have already paid
their share for the crime. The ltal-
ian policy will be to appeal to all
European forces to help. There can
be no complete restoration OF Eu-
rope without combined effort"
Premier Nitti said Italy did not
want violence in Turkey, but de
sires troops there for the protection
of the Dardanelles and the Bospho
rus and for traders who are ex.
plotting the riches Of Asia Minor.

ment back-and the future may

grave be roosting. all your chance
of boosting gone. Lay aside

and toot few; squelch the kick

joyful blast or two. Our old
town is sure a pippin and we
ought to boost 1t big; when we

should biff him on the wig. Those
who do not like our city ought
to straight way hit the grit
