Britain Acts to Keep
Oil Supply From U. S.
Seeks Control Over Firm, Fear
ing American Interests, Says
'sThe Daily Mail''

LONDON, April 26.-Negotiations
are in progress between the govern
ment and the She'll Transport and
Trading Company with a view to some
form of government control over this
big oil firm, according to "The Daily
Mail"
The newspaper says there is reason
to believe that as result of Great
Britain's war experiences and the pres
ent feverish activity by American oil
interests, the government has resolved
that steps must be taken to insure
that the vast interests of the
Shell company will never pass out of
British control. The negotiations in
volve a plan for exchanging govern
ment stock for Shell company shares.
Celebrating its reference to the ac-
tivities Of American oil men and the
view that "their oil fields are showing
signs of exhaustion" "The Daily Mail"
intimates that the governments ac-
tion has as its motive a desire to pre-
vent Americans from absorbing COM
panies controlling actual or potential
sources Of Great Britain's oil supply.

Educational Mandate
In Near East Foreseer
Movement Here Foreshadows
Merger of 500 Colleges in
Old Ottoman Emnire

An "educational mandate" for the
Near East is foreshadowed in the or
ganization Of committee of experts
in this city to work on plan of
STANDARDIZATION Of educational meth
DDS. This committee seeks to merge
the interests Of more than five hun
dred educational institutions in the old
Ottoman Empire, including Robert Col
lege at Constantinople, the Constanti-
nople College for Girls and the Ameri-
can University at Beirut. Syria, in or
der that there may be economy in
effort and outlay
The work is to be privately sup
ported and under the direction of a
"Committee of Cooperation of Ameri-
can Education in the Near East" in
charge of Albert w. Staub, formerly
acting manager of the Atlantic Divi-
sion Of the American Red Cross.
The plans Of the committee contem-
plate the inclusion of 564 primary and
secondary schools in Syria, Palestine,
Arabia, Mesopotamia. Anatolia, the
Balkans, the Caucasus, and eventually
Persia and Egypt and even Abyssinia.
In this territory there are 1876
American teachers, 1,O79 native teach
ers and 31,329 pupils. There are
twelve colleges with 165 American
teachers, 200 native teachers and 4,572
students. Physical property owned
and controlled by these American col
legeS is valued at $4,078,136.

Pren1iers Nod as Tension
At Council Table ReInres
Formal Atmosphere Disappears and Mild Pleas

Peace Task; Nitt Makes a Forceful President

face, which SO we'll matches his man.
ncr at the discussions Of the con-
ference, contrasts sharply with those
of the other two great leaders. In
tense moments the French Premier's
voice takes on a curious high timbre,
which still further increases the i'm
preston he gives of great and intense
earneStness.
The meetings Of the conference, al
though carried on in a businesslike
way, sometimes get pretty dull for
tors most Of the time. On such occa-
sions there is great temptation for
them to relax consciousness. At a
meeting recently, when Signor Scialoia
showed signs of nodding, Premier
Nitti, having written the words "Good
night" on slip Of paper, laid it fur
lively on the table in front of Signor
Scialoia's nodding head while one of
the other premiers was making a long
speech.
Balfour Too Busy to Sleep
Every conference has it's sleeping
members. At the former one in Paris
Arthur J. Balfour was the chief delin-
quent in this respect. The Allied min
listers employ various methods and
postures for sleeping at the table.
For instance, Signor Scialoia doesn't
sleep without certain amount of
provocation. Mr.. Balfour, on the other
hand, is likely to be attacked by slum-
Der at any time, and he sleeps frankly
and openly, with his head back and
feet outstretched under the table.
Others of the conferees, like Signor
Scialoia, indulge in short lapses of
consciousness.
Mr.. Balfour, who is now visiting San
Reno, was summoned here by Premier
Lloyd George for consultation on the
settlement of the Turkish question,
but he doesn't attend the conference
and has had no opportunity to sleep
at the San Reno sessions. Despite his
seventy-siX years Mr.. Balfour spends
the day playing tennis with other en-
thusiasts here, among whom is Megan
Lloyd George, the British Premier's
daughter, who celebrated her cigh-
teenth birthday last week. The dinner
party on her birthday, at which Pre-
mier Mllerand and his son were
guests, and another dinner two days
later at the French Premier's hotel, did
more to reconcile the two premiers
than all the meetings held in the Villa
Dcvachan.

BERLIN, April 25.-Russia's stock
of grain amounts to 500,00o,000 BUSH
els, M. Krassin, chairman of the Rus
sian trade commission, now in Copen-
hagen, told the correspondent of "Die
Freiheit," that newspaper says to-day.
That supply, however, which the So
Wet government stands ready to trade
with other nations, cannot be moved
from it's granary in the Eastern and
Southeastern governments and in the
Caucasus until the railroads are re-
lieved of the military work that still
burdens them and are supplied with
rolling stock.
Bids for Reconciliation
reconciliation between Russia and the
countries of western Europe. Russias
task now, he says, is to devote her
whole power to restoring agriculture
and industry, but the nation needs
the cooperation of European and
American industries. If left to herself,
he added, the process of recovery
would be so slow as to involve danger
for all of the half ruined countries
of Europe.
Krassin demands as prerequisite
to an understanding with other nations
that they recognize Russa's right to
determine her own economic system
according to her own ideas. Russia
is willing to negotiate for the restora-
tion of trade relations, he says, but
will not sacrifice it's principles. He
points out that the efforts of the AL
lies to subdue Russia through war
and blockade have broken down, and
asserts that Russia is now, less than
ever, willing to capitulate on the So
Wet constitution.
Nevertheless Russia does not insist,
Krassin continues, upon the Immediate
resumption of diplomatic and consul
lar relationships, but would reopen
trade if and when the state of war is
ended and the blockade is lifted.
Would Grant Concessions
AS the immediate restoration of the
Russian railways is necessary to ex-
oedite the expectation of foodstuffs
from Russia, Krassin says, the Soviet
government wants to buy locom olives,
rolling stock and repair shop machin-
cry, giving in exchange both food and
raw materials, deliverable at a sea-
port or on the Russian frontier. Rus
STA is willing to grant concessions to
foreign capitalists, Krassin says, for
the exploiting of mines, forests and
fisheries, but these concessions arc
based upon division of profits with

spirit Of justice but in spirit of
charity. Germany can be asked sac
rltices that she can afford, but she
should not be asked that which would
prevent her from returning to
normal, economic life and thus bring
despair and revolution. The destiny
OF every country, whether victor or
vanquished, is interrelated, and the
fall of one to ruin will bring down the
others"
The conversation turned again to
states of mind, war and peace
THE university life of Europe has
stood still for six years." Premier
Nitti declared. "Intellectual creative
work has ceased and we are having no
great literature or art"
Free to Deal With Russia

"The resumption of intercourse with
Russia will have several useful con-
sequences. l doubt if Russia has much

with us now, but next year and in the

Another good result will be that the
dlscontented Russians, now in misery
and disorder, can estimate the worth
of the ideas of government which have
brought Russia to her present condi-
ton. They can then no longer regard
Russia as sort of Eldorado of liberty
and happiness"
Signor Nitt declared, as Premier
Lloyd George has already said, that as
the Allies have never been at war with
Russia each Ally is free to deal with
her as it thinks proper

LOS ANGELES, April 25.-Thc city
of Guaymas, Sonora, on the Gulf Of
California, was captured April 12 with
out shot being fred by 5000 Sonora
state troops commanded by General
Angel Flores, according to Captain N.
K. Jacobson, of the Gulf mail steamer
Nehalem, from Corinto to San Fran
cisco, which arrived at Los Angeles
harbor to-day.
According to Captain jacobson the
attempt at defense, and the custom
house, railroads and warehouses, con-
tanning large quantities of foodstuffs,
were Immediately Communicated by
the Sonora force.
The only move toward defending the
city, it was said, came when $50
marines were sent ashore from the
Mexican gunboat Guerrero. But they,
it was declared joined the revolu-
tionlsts as soon as the Sonora cavalry
entered Guaymas.
In addition to taking Guavmas the
revolutionists also took over the gun
boat Guerrero, and had it towcd off
Mazatlan. There her engines were to
be repaired in preparation, it was re-
ported, for an attack on Mazatlan.
Captain jacobson said General
Flores, on the afternoon of April 49,,

Wilson to Consider

Refuse Mandate, He
May Take Arbiter Post

WASHINGTON, April 25.--An Amer

by the San Reno conference, is ex-
pected to be refused by this govern.
ment, due to the opposition in Con-
gress to the further employment of
American troops in Europe, but Prcsi-
dent Wilson is expected to consider
seriously the request that he serve as
arbiter of boundary disputes involving
the new Armenian republic, according
to the best authority available here to-
night.
While President Wilson has shown
the keenest sympathy for the Ar
menian people and bitter opposition to
the Turkish government, the DISPOSE
ton Of Congress at the present time
is to withdraw speedily from active
participation in the policing of any
European nation. Grave doubt was ex-
pressed tonight that Congress would
ever consent to the dispatch of any
military force, no matter how small, to
ARMENIA to serve in any mandatory
program that might be evolved.
The question of arbitratine boundary
differences involving Armenia, how
ever, was said to be wholly within the
province of the Executive, and nothing
more pronounced than verbal opposi-
tion to Mr.. Wilson serving as an arbi
ter is likely to result from Capitol
Hill.
The President, however, is believed
to be committed to including all of
Turkish Armenia in the new republjs.
In the State Department announce
ment yesterday of the recognition of
the new republic by this government
the present boundaries Of Armenia
were defined. In referring to additions
to be made to the present territories
of the government, the State Depart
ment announcement said:
Turkish Armenia, when its limits
are defined, will presumably be added
to the present republic, thus forming
united Armenia.''

SAN RENO, Italy, April 25.-The AL
lies are beginning to discuss the real
problems of the peace conference, but
a change has come over the conference
chamber. The stiff atmosphere that
prevailed heretofore is gone and the
members relaxed, even indulge in mild
pleasantrcs.
The conference meets in richly and
somewhat over-decorated room Of mod
ern rococo style in the Villa Devachan.
In that luxuriously appointed chamber
the Allied Premiers sit around horse
shoe table. All are dressed in lounge
suits. Premier Nitti always in black,
Premier Millerand in dark blue. Pre-
mier Lloyd George INDUCES in clothes
of somewhat gayer hues, having par
ticular liking for grays.
Both Nitti and Lloyd George, out of
compliment for France, wear the red
rosettcs of the Legion Of Honor, while
Millerand displays the green rosctte of
Saint Maurice ct Lasarc.
Premier Nitti, because the conference
is held in his country, presides at the
curve of the horseshoe. On his right
SltS NlttOrlo Sclalola, the Italian For
eign Minister, and beyond him sits Pre-
mier Millerand and Philippe Berthelot,
political director Of the French Foreign
Office. Premier Lloyd George sits on
Premier Nitti's left; then comes Earl
Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary.
Lloyd George Appreciates Comedies
Nitt makes forceful presi dent
Standing about 5 feet high, with very
broad shoulders, and having forceful
features and piercing black eyes, the
Italian leader is easily the first among
his colleagues at the table in volubility.
He has way when he is speaking of
putting himself up, and this adds to his
impressive personality.
Lloyd George, who, besides being a
skillful conferee, keenly appreciates
life's comedies and dramas, probably
extracts more entertainment from the
meetings than the other men at the
table. He listens to Premier Nitti's
words with obvious interest and ad-
miration, recognizing the Italian as a
master in the matters in which the
British Premier himself is adept
