A. at eight o'clock They are travelling under the auspices of the Near East Relief As sociation which has saved hundreds of thousands of people in that part of the world from death by hunger and cold.
 General AZgapetian served in the Russian armies in the Caucasus against the Turks. His wife, who ac companied him to the front, did noble work for the wounded and sick, and-it was while in this service that her baby was born in a hospital tent during battle. With the collapse of the Rus sian armies after the Bolshevist Tevo- lutiOn the Azgapetians returned to Ar menia for brief spell and did their best to alleviate the suffering they found on every hand. But with Fur kish price on his head the father final ly made his way with his family through Russia to Finland and then to this country.

 Tn turn, Representative Lea's minor ity report replie to the majority findings as incorporate, biased and yituperative, an exaggeration of alleg- ed mistakes and misstatements," a 'gratuitOus reflection up men who faithfully served the government dur ing war and a repetition of defam- atory charges admittedly unsustained by evidence"
 Answering the charge of the major ity report that only 213 planes had been shipped to the front up to the ar mistice and that these were De Havi- lands, dangerous and known as fly ing cOffinS,' the minarity report quoted Brig. Gen. NJ. 4. Patrick, direc- tor of construction and forestry opera tons of the American expeditionary forces. as saying that no larger per centaSe of De Havilands came down in flames than other types MT. Lea asserted that only B De Havilands out of AT sent over enemy lines we're lost The majority declared more American aviators would have been killed except for the failure of Gen. Pershing to receive more than 213 De Havilands."
 Sending American aviators to the front in this type of plane, the ma jority report said, was more waste full of human life than "equipping shock troops with woodn guns"

WILSON PROTESTS GRANTING IF
 HUME TO ITALY BY COUNCIL

and an entirely new plan was drawn up without participation by America and forwarded in the shape of an ul-
 timatum to the Jugo-Slav govern ment. The basis of this was the rec ognition of Italy's title to much of the eastern coast of the Adriatic and Dalmatia and there were other sub stantial additions to Italian claims which did not agree in principle with the original understanding
 The latest American note was in the nature of protest against this meth cd of procedure. It was not an ul- timatum or a threat. but pointed out that if persisted in, this would put the United States in the position of
 being expected to ratify a treaty which confirmed boundary lines be- yond readjustment which it already had declared to be wrong And, fur thermore it was recalled that this latest move had been made by the premiers without consultation or ad- vice from the Washington govern ment, though this country would be bound to abide by the results should it ratify the treaty.

 When the debate was reopened the prsvate negotiations for a compro- mise apparently passed into the dol drums and some of the treaty's most active friends on both sides of the chamber predicted there probably would be no settlement until discus sion on the floor had spent itself.
 Acting under an agreement with Democratic leaders, Senator Lodge asked unanimous consent that the treaty be taken up and then pre- scented the first of the proposer res ervation changes he made public last week. His amendment would make the withdrawal reservation stipu- late that notice of withdrawal from mem bership in the league of nations could be given by the president or hv congress acting alone. whenever the majority of both houses may deem it necessary" Tn the original draft the notice might be given" by con current resolution of the congress of the United States"

 Although considered by the bi-part- iSan conference, the modification was not agreed on there and Senator Hitchcock indicated that he and many other Democrats expected to vote against it.
 Most senators were inclined to be- lieve that it might be several days before action was reached on any proposals to modify the IA Republi- can reservations as they were adopt ed at the last session of congress.

addition to the cash which the police
found in the Elwell residence on Fri
day they have discovered check for
$4,000. dated June 10 and signed by
man named Rutherford. They also
found a quantity of liquors, although
it is said that Elwell was never a
heavy drinker, being continually de-
sirous OF keeping his head about
him"
The 5000, 900 trust fund, 1T was said,
was established by Elwell himself,
and upon his death 1t was to have
passed to his son, who has been liv-
ing with Mrs Swell, the wife from
whom he separated several years ago.
Mrs. Elwell, who is a writer with
the pen name OF Florence Irwin, told
the police that il had not been neces-
sary for her to see her husband since
their separation. She said that she
had received a check for $3.50 from
him each month. and that he had fur
ther provided for the education OF
their son.
