SUPREME COUNCIL AT SAN RENO
DESTROYING CONTROL OF
SMALL NATIONS.
western Newspaper Union New. Service.

San Reno, April 26.-The Supreme
Council is sending a formal request to
President Wilson that the United
States government take the mandate
for Armenia. The council is leaving
to President Wilson the arbitration of
the differences over the boundaries of
Armenia. There seems to be division
on the part of the council as to wheth-
er the region of Erzerum and its vicin-
ity should be included in the territory
Of the Armenian republic. The Turk
ish n~ationalists are strongly claiming
Erzerum for themselves.
Dispatches from San Reno announc-
ing the decision of the Supreme Coun-
ell to make Armenia an independent
state, said that the boundaries of the
new republic had not yet been de-
fined.
The new republic, the dispatches
add, would probably be contracted,
owing to the belief that the smaller
the country the more easily it could
protect itself and the fear that IL too
many Turks were left within Armenia,
they might overthrow the government.
San Remo.-The Supreme Council
has decided to ask President Wilson
to arbitrate the boundaries of the new
republic Of Armenia. The council
awarded a mandate for Mesopotamia
and Palestine to Great Britain and a
mandate for Syria to France.
In placing Palestine under a British
mandate the council established with
in the ancient limits of Holy Land
what is called the National Home for
the Jews" The terms of the mandate
protect the national rights of Jewish
citizens of other countries. That Is to
say, a Jew of American, British,
French or other nationality may retain
his nationality, although he is also a
citizen of the state of Palestine.
The rights of Arabs also' are pro-
tected. there being 100000 in Palestine
and 100000 Jews.
The mandate is limited generally by
what is known as the Balfour declara-
ton. British forces have been in &C.
cupation Of Palestine since the defeat
of the Turkish forces by the British
field marshal, Viscount Allenby.
France has been the protector of the
Christians in Syria since the Middle
Ages, having been designated for the
purpose by the Holy See.
The question with regard to Syria
has been in serious controversy be-
tween the French and British govern
ments since the armistice was signed,
particularly over the point whether
France shall have all of what is geo.
graphically outlined as Syria, or only
certain parts.

DAIRY
TO PREVENT GARLIC FLAVOR
Few Simple Precautions In Herd
Management VIII Keep Out Dis
agreeable Odor In Milk.

Dairymen and creamery men in
many states are troubled every spring
by garlic or onion flavor In the milk.
garlic or wild onion, n Of the first
plants to start in the pasture in the
spring. The trouble from garlic is not
likely to last very long, as this weed
is soon cropped off and the grass be-
comes plentiful enough for the cattle
to feed on 1t In preference to the
onion.
Garlic flavor in milk can be removed
by heating the milk to 145 degrees f.
and forcing air through 1t at this tenn
perature for 80 to 60 minutes, accord
ing to Farmers Bulletin 608 of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. AS this method requires a GER
tain amount of equipment, 1t is much
nor satisfactory for the average
dairyman to keep the odor nut Of milk
by a few simple precautions in herd
management.
There are two ways of protecting
the milk from garlic flavor. First, pre-
vent the cow from obtaining garlic;
and second, manage the herd on garlic
pasture, so that there will be the least
possible chance Of getting the flavor
In the milk.
Often the garlic is found only In one
patch In the pasture, and this can be
temporarily fenced of and pastured
with other animals not producing
milk.
Where garlic is scattered all over
the field 1t will be impossible to keep
the cows away from 1t, but by remov-
ing them to some other field three OF
four hours before each milking the
flavor viii be reduced to a minimum.
The odor In milk is strongest from
cows which have just eaten garlic,
and the odor is reduced as the time
between the eating of garlic and milk
ing Is increased.
In case no garilc-free pasture is
available, 1t would be advisable to
drive the cattle to the barnyard three
or four hours before milking and feed
them on hay and silage. AS the sea-

to drink two of the cows (they
were the good-natured one) only
smiled at each other. But the
third COW Ga surly old creature
with long, sharp horns)) told him
not to be silly.
Well, Sandy Chipmunk saw that
he could get no milk there. And
he was feeling quite downcast
when he chanced to meet Henry
Skunk, to whom he told his trou-
bles.
"Of course the cows couldn't
give you any milk" Henry Skunk
said. TITS not milking time yet.
So what could they do? You go
down to the barnyard late this af-
ternoon and you'll find all the
milk YOU could drink in thousand
years,
Sandy Chipmunk thanked him.
And somehaw he managed to wait
until the afternoon was almost
gone. Then he skipped down the
hill to Farmer GREEN'S barn. He
thought IT must be milking time,
because Johnnie Green and old
dog Spot had driven all the cows
home. 5
