 Forces of U. s.

 It requested that the horrors of the Armenian tragedy "be brought to the entrusting some power with the task of taking the necessary measures to stop the hostilities in Armenia" The United States, although not a member of the league. was included among the nations of the world to whom the broadcast invitation was issued.
 Adoption of the resolution was pre- eeded by some discussion of the feasi- bility of organizing an international fore to intervene In Armenia, assailed alternately by Turkish nationalists, the bolsheviki and other trans Caucas-l ian elements.
 In his reply. however, Mr. Wilson
 said he was without authorization
 to offer or employ the military

 Since Friday the sky nightly has been lighted by the glare of incendiary fires which have destroyed dozen large busi- ness buildings, causing losses estimated at about $1.5OooOo.
 Early today second unsuccessful at- tempt was made to burn the city hall which recently was badly damaged by a bomb explosion and fire. No less than five Sim Fein clubs have been destroyed.
 The present serious fires followed warnings tl1t reprisals would take place until three army officers kidnapped re- gently from a train at Waterfall were returned unharmed. A report, which has not been confirmed. is to the effect that the bodies of all three of the officers were found in field near Waterfall.

 forth, and when the Thomas Ashe Sim F'ein club was set on fire today they refused to leave their quarters until the protection of two lorries loaded with soldiers was afforded them.
 The fires usually have been started with incendiary bombs and petrol in buildings the owners or occupants of which are believed to be Sim Feiners. Not infrequently the fires have spread to adjoining property.
 Explosives and fusillades from rifles and revolvers almost invariably furnish a terrifying overture and accompaniment 70 the eonflagrations.
 As result of these fearful nightly or deals Cork has become a city of nerves Business is almost at a standstill, and many persons are afraid to venture abroad, even in daylight. Large numbers of the townsfolk have left Cork for less troubled districts.
 One effect of the prolonged strain, ac- cording to physicians, has been a sharp increase of patients admitted to insane asylums and also an increase in heart disease It also has resulted in the de- velopment of curious goitre among adults, especially women, and St. Vitus' dance among children, the physicians declare.
 The newspapers publishers frankly say that they are intimidated to such an ex- tent that they now are printing tele- graphic accounts containing the rarest and most perfunctory stories of the troublous times The panic of the people is so intense that they are reluctant to discuss. the happenings and when they can be induced to talk. they speak in whispers.

PROPOSES PLANS FOR RESUMPTION
 FULL RELATIONS
Colby Proposes That Mexico and U. s. Name Commits
 sioners to Formulate Treaty
By Associated Press

Washington, November 30-A formal proposal from Secretary Colby that commissioners be appointed by the United States and Mexico to draft a treaty upon which can be based re- sumption of full diplomatic relations between the two governments has been taken to Mexico City by Roberto v. Pesqueira, Mexican confidential agent in Washington.
 This was disclosed tonight when the state department made public MT. Colby's answer to MT. Pesqueira's re- cent letter urging recognition by the United States of the new government of Mexico. It was handed to the Mex ican agent before his departure before Thanksgiving Day to attend the in- auguration of President t-elect Obregon of Mexico, December 1.
 Referring to his conversations with MT. Pesqueira, Secretary Colby in his letter said that they served to leave no reasonable doubt "of the high and enlightened purposes that actuate the present government of Mexico"
 As to article No. 27 of the Mexican constitution, long a stumbling block to complete understanding between the two governments, MT. Colby said the statement in Mir. PeSQueira's letter that it lis not and must not be interpreted as retroactive or violative of valid property rights" should "aliay the fears of those who have acquired valid titles" in Mexico adding:
 T can conceive of nothing better calculated to correct this misunder- standing"
 Tt only remains" MT. Colby con- tinued, ito give these understandings a form which is usual in dealings be- tween friendly states, and l have the honor to suggest : that commits sioners be promptly designated by both Mexico and the United States to for mulate a treaty, embodying the agree ments which have been reached as the result of your successful mission"
