League Board Appr0reS
Root W0rld Court Pla1.
Bourgeois Committee Com
pletes York anL Names Men,
bers 10 Draft a Report

GENEVA, Nov. 26 (By The Asso-
ciated Press THE committee pre-
sided over by Leon Bourgeois, which
has been considering the international
court OF justice question, mas virtually
completed its work. arriving at the
decision that the plan prepared at The
Hague by Elihu Root and other jurists
shall stand as amended by the League
Of Nations Council at Brussels. A
sub committee Of ten members was
appointed to-day to draft report
along these lines.
1t will not be possible under the
plan for complaining nation to cite
another nation before the court, hoth
sides to the controversy having to ac-
eept the jurisdiction Of the tribunal.
Otherwise q complainant can have re-
course only to the Council Of the
league.
Elimination OF obligatory jurisdic-
ton in the plan adopted by the COM
mittee was due largely to British in
fuence, though some members Of the
committee who favored obligatory
jurisdiction voted against it because
they regarded it as contrary to the
League of Nations covenant. The Ques-
tion is not considered as finally set
out that the action of the Assembly,
ii it approves the amended plan, shall
not be regarded a final disposition Of
the matter and that it may be re-
opened whenever it may be deemed
advisable.
The Assembly may decide between
organization OF the court under its
own auspices, with election of Judges
at the summer meeting, and q request
to the governments to join in another
conference for the express purpose of
setting up the court

MILAN, Italy, Nov. 26.-Armistice
and peace preliminaries just concluded
between.the Armenians and the Turk
ish Nationalists under Mustapha Kemal
ignore the prerogative given to Presi
cent Wilson by the Paris Peace Con-
ference to fix the frontiers Of the Ar
menian state.
The Treaty of Sevres, between the
Allies and Turkey, despite it's vague
ness, declared that the vilayets Of
Erzerum, Tiflis, Trebizond and Van
were to be Armenian, and provided
that the definite frontiers were to be
dclimited by the President of the
United States. From his decision there
was to be no appeal.
Under the preliminary peace terms
signed by the Armenians with the Ma
tionalists on November 10, not only
was Armenia shorn Of the four vilayets
that had been granted by the Sevres

u. S. AdmirGls Mentioned
For armenian, Mediation
McCully and Bristol Are Near
Scene Of Trouble; President
Could Act Without COngress

From The Trtbunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-The posi-
Bile appointment of Rear Admiral Mark
Bristol or Rear Admiral Newton A.
McCully as the representative of Pres
ident Wilson in the capacity of special
mediator between the. Armenians and
the Turkish Nationalists was discussed
here to-day.
Point was led to the discussion by
the expressed opinion Of State Depart
ment officials that the President would
have power to undertake the task with
out any action by Congress, or even
the Senate, despite the fact that the
United States had not formally joined
the League of Nations.
Admiral McCul,y is the American
High Commissioner at Sebastopol,
while Admiral Bristol Is now stationed
at Constantinoplc, so that both of
them are not only close to the scene,
but presumably are convcrsans with
the details and merits of the contro-
versy.

British Lose Fight

GENEVA, Nov. 26 (By Ine Associ-
ated Press The difficulty Of any sln-
gle power or influence dominating the
League of Nations was demonstrated
to-day when the Council Of that body,
in spite of determined protests by the
British member, decided finally to give
control in the Permanent Mandates
Commission to mandatory powers.
This commission will be composed of
representatives Of five non-mandatory
powers and four Of the mandatory
states.
To-day's action was confirmation
of the decision taken at the Brussels
session of the Council. The decision
has been fought by the British since
it was announced after the Brussels
meeting. They obtained reconsid-
GRAFTON Of the question, but again were
outvoted.
Talk on this quiet day centered about
the expected arrival from Berne Of
Major Marlborough Churchill, head of
the American army Intelligence serv-
ice, who. it has been reported, is coming
to watch the league developments for
any action that might interest his de-
partmcnt
The attitude among delegates of the
Assembly of the League of Nations
toward the appeal 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 viii relieve Europe
and the league of an embarrassing
question.
Cecil Wants Z. S. to Help Armenia
That the United States would be the
best nation to accept the mandate for
Armenia is the opinion of Lord Robert
Cecil, as expressed to the American
newspaper correspondents tonight. The
United States, he added, probably
would have more influence with Mus
tapAa Kemai, Turkish Nationalist
leader, than any other nation.
Lord Robert said $2O,OOO,OOO would
supply the necessary military assist

would be repaid if the Armenian eco
