BRITAIN DIFFERS ON
ARMENIA PROBLEM
Not Entirely in Accord With
Mediation Proposal Ac-
cepted by Wilson.
LEAGUE ACT QUESTIONED
It's Right to Interfere in Mat

Doubted.

Special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1920, BY THE New YORK HERALD
GENEVA, Dec. 3.-New complications
have arisen In the Armenian matter In
the bringing up of the question of the
right of the League of Nations to inter-
fere in matters of this kind. tele-
gram was received from Earl Curzon,
British Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, which reveals Englands posi-
ton as being not entirely in accord with
the mediation proposal accepted by
President Wilson This telegram has
thrown the Council into a greater state
of perplexity. Here is the text of Earl
Curzon's message:
Since the receipt on November 2S of
the telegram from the president of the
Council OF the League of Nations to the
Prime Minister we observe that the
President of the United States has ex-
pressed his willingness to designate
personal representative as mediator
with view to ending the hostilities now
being waged against the Armenian
people. Our information Is not clear re-
garding the extent to which the Ar
fhenians may have anticipated this ac-
ton by concluding peace with either or
both their neighbors.
We are not in position to accept
any independent mission regarding Ar
menia II this was contemplated by the
telegram (from the Council of the
league, asking Great Britain il she
would undertake to act as mediator be-
tween the Armenians and the Turkish
Nationalist. similar request having
been sent to all the Powers), which is
now under reply but the President of
the United States may rely upon us to
second his efforts in every way by moral
and diplomatic support, for which he
appeals Cr1RzoNo
This bears out Geneva dispatches to
THE NEW York HERALD that the AS
sembly had compelled the Council to
trespass on ground dangerous to Great
Br1tains interests. as was indicated in
the speech by Arthur J. Balfour, of the
British delegation here. before the AS
sembly when he brought up the question
OF the leagues diplomatic functions.
LONDON, Dec 8. Premier Lloyd
George OF England, Premier Leagues of
France and Count Sforza, the Italian
Foreign Minister. have decided that Ar
menia could not be admitted to the
League OF Nations now because her legal
existence depends upon the treaty of
Sevres which has as yet not been rati-
he'd. Therefore Armenia has no def
mite status and no fixed frontiers. The
conferees have notified the League of
Nations at Geneva of their disapproval
of Armenia's admission in these circum-
stances.

Pastoral Admonition, Gently Conveyed,

Even Choir Boys.

The pastor of small parish in a
New Jersey town was known far and
wide about the countryside for his
quaint ways and eccentric habits. He
had small choir which he augmented
on special occasions with boys from
the eighborhood. These recruits were
sometimes unruly and he did not al

the proper bounds.
In the course of a Christmas morn
ing sermon several choir boys began To
eat peanuts surreptitiously and the
cracking of the shells was plainly
audible 10 the congregation. At first
the rector paid no attention 10 them.
hut finally they got on his nerves.
Pausing after an impassionate out
burst Of oratory. he fixed his gaze
sternly upon them and thus addressed
them In reproving tones:
"Boys-you choir boys. ! mean. II
You must eat peanuts in church. please.
oh. please. do not crunch the shells.
then turning again 10 the congregation,
he resumed his discourse.
