Question; Wilson
Plans to Help

Geneva, Nov. 26.-The attitude
among delegates of the assembly Of
the league of nations toward the
anpeal 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 en-
barrassing question
Behind the admitted necessity OF
doing something for Armenia there
is conflict of European interests
involved. Great Britain. it is -un-
derstood, would look with great dis
favor of Intervention by any power
having rival interests. Action by
the United states In Armenia, 1T is
held. would involve no such COM
plications.
In default 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 70
the various powers, at the same
time the message to President VIII
son was sent.
Committee numberysix of the as

pended, pending hearing, a pro-
