SAVE ARMENIA
PLEA TO LEAGUE
(By Associated Press)

GENEVA, Nov. 10. - At the OPEN
ing of today's session of the assembly
of the league Of nations President
Paul Hymans read President Wilson's
reply to the message sent him Mon
day.
Gen. Nicoll Barnes, British dele
gate, began the discussion on the re-
port of the council of the league, es-
pecially dwelling on the necessity for
assisting the Armenians. "They are
hemmed in by the brutal Bolsheviki on
on one side and by inhuman being on
the other" he said.
He said the great majority of the
laboring people of Great Britain fav-
ored the immediate admission Of Ger
many and other former enemy states
to the league. He said not to forget
that Germany plunged the world into
war, but the question now is to rescue
the world from ruin and the co-opera-
. ton of former enemy states is needed.

it was on this ship that the Japanese
were brought to La Bomba. The au-

real owners of the boat. They are
also trying to find out where the Jap

CALEXICO, Nov. 19.-Here is a
good story that the husband of one
of the members of the wOman's
club tells cf a party Of local wo-
men who were going to Ell Centro to
attend the club federation meeting
there:
They went out through No. 6 and
at the second crossing of New riv-
er they found the roads badly flood
ed, but they had to go on and finally
things got so bad that their car
stuck in a particularly muddy spot.
All efforts to get it out failed,
and finally the resOurceful club
women took off shoes and stock
ings. tucked up their skirts, and,
getting out in the mud, placed grass
and weeds before the wheels, got
out in due time, donned their shoes
and stockings and went spOtlessly
arrayed to the sessions of the fed
Grafton.
The husband absolutely refused
to reveal the names of the ladies'.
