HINTS At COERCION
To AID ARMEN|ANS
MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS PLAN TO PUT END
TO HOSTILlTlES,
Possibility Of American Aid for the
Armenians Touched Upon in
Debate by the Assembly Of
the League Of Nations.

Geneva.-A resolution presented by
NJ. Viviani. inviting the council Of the
league of nations to confer with the
various powers with the view of con.
shutting q force sufficient to put an
end to hOstilities in Armenia, which
was joined to Lord Robert Cecil's reso-
luton along the same lines, was adopt
ed by the assembly of the league Mon
day afternoon.
The possibility of American aid for
the Armenians was touched upon in
debate Monday by the assembly of the
league of nations on resolutions de-
manding Intervention by the league in
Armenia
Supporting Lord Robert Cecil's de-
mand that the assembly appoint COM
mittee to examine into means for end
ing the hostilities between the Turkish
nationalists and the Armenians, M.
Spalekjovitch of the Serbian delega-
ton recalled that the United States
senate at one time had approved the
use of the American fleet to succor the
Armenians. 1t was recalled here in
this connection that Senator Harding
was the senator who reported the
resolution.
A. J. Balfour of Great Britain,
speaking on the resolution, said that
if the United States had been willing
to take the mandate for Armenia, she
had the men, money and spirit to make
her an ideal mandatory. The league
has been unable to accomplish any
thing with regard to the Armenian sit.
uation, Mr.. Balfour admitted, because
the condition of Armenia, he argued,
was not such as the league was or
ganized to deal with.

REIGN Of TERROR
BEGUN IN DUBLIN
CIVILIANS AND SOLDIERS SHOT
DOWN IN CLASH between
WARNING FACTIONS.
Small Bodies Of Men Enter Homes and
Murder Victims in Bed or While
at Breakfast-Ten Killed
at Football Game.

Dublln.-This city became the scene

prisal. Not since the first outbreak
Of the vicious civil warfare that has
been shedding blood In Ireland have
the assassinatiOns been so concerted
or the retaliation SO swift and pro-
nOunced.
known dead the attacks arranged
simultaneously all over the city Sun
day morning. The method was the
same in each case, and all the men
assassinated were officers or former
officers, or otherwise in the service
of the government.
Shooting began again in the streets
just before midnight and number of
persons are reported killed.
The casualties in Croke park, where
football game was in progress, are
officially given as ten killed and sixty
five injured, eleven seriously.
Small bodies of men, numbering
generally from six to eight, presented
themselves at various houses, called
their victims out or entered and shot
them in bed, while dressing or at
breakfast. The districts in which the
murders were committed are in some
instances close together; others are
separated by miles; but all the as
sassinations took place about the
same hour, 8 o'clock in the morning.
In the afternoon at Croke park six
teen lorries filled with auxiliary po-
lice moved swiftly up and surrounded
the place.
Accounts differ as to what happened
when. after mounting machine guns
on heights above, the police broke
through the gates. The auxiliaries
were hoOted and, according to eye
witnesses. first fired into the uir and
then into the crowd. 1t is declared
from another source that the Sim
Fein pickets first fired OF the COVE, IL

preaching and that the fire was re-
turned.
Within the park the great assembly
Of $1,000 became panic-stricken. Sew

STATE DEPARTMENT WILL CON.

A NEW TREATY.

press Has Been Called.

grafton and California land controver.
sy before President Wilson goes out
Of office, 1t is declared that there is
no real expectation Of definite action
before the Harding administration
comes In and special session of con-
gress II called.
The object Of the Wilson admins
tration, 1t Is said, Is to avoid a break
with Japan and smooth matters over
pending the change to the Republican
regime. when Mr.. Harding will decide
whether to follow the line Of compro-
mise taken by Mr.. Wilson or to adopt
more radical policy.
In accord with this purpose, the state
department will continue the negotia-
tons with Japan fr new treaty defin-
ing the rights Of Japanese now in this
country, and for a broader gentle
mems agreement" under which Japan
would undertake to prevent the migra.
ton OF any Japanese to the United
States for permanent residence. Even
II the negotiations. should produce a
formal treaty submitted to the senate
before March 4, action upon 1t by that
body before the meeting of the new
congress will be an extremely remote
possibility.
BY that time, however, the Califor-
mia legislature probably will have en-
acted the proposed new law approved
by the referendum, further restricting
the property holding rights Of Japan
csc, and will have brought the con-
trOversy to q head.
Senator Harding has indicated that
he views with sympathy the desire Of
the Pacific coast to exclude Japanese
by statute and to prevent Japanese
now here from extending their land
control. To exclude the Japanse by
statute would require termination Of
the existing treaty. which is possible
upon ak months notice.
