Washington, Nov. SO.-President
Wilson today proffered his personal
mediation through a representative
whom 1 may designate" to end hostil-
tiles in Armenia. ~.
The offer was in reply to an invita-
ton from Paul Hymans.: president of

transmitting a resolution adopted in
behalf ofArmenia by the assemb.,
r the league ut Geneva Novmber %.
1t requested that 1.-The horrors of the

lntrusting some power with the task
of taing 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-
ceded by some discussion of the feas-
ibility of organizing an International
force to intervene in Armenia, assailed
alternately by Turkish Nationalists,
the. Bolsheviki and other Trans-Cau-
casion enemies. In his reply, how

 She reported On returning that most of the residents are in good health and none seriously afflicted. There were a couple of cases of whooping cough and case of supposed spinal mein- gitis. but the latter patient is now well on the road to recovery.
 A movement is now on foot to build q hospital in Unalakleet by private contribution. The few who have means have contributed generously, the dena- tions ranging from $25 to $20O. Mir Almquist. the missionary. was the heaviest contribution to the fund.
 It is understood that the mission is sending in equipment for the projected hospital valued at $1.OoO. which includ- es furnishings and fittings for the op- erpting room.
 The mission, with conmendablc generosity. is thus returning to the ma tives in the form of hospital equip mont, part of the money derived from the sale of reindeer given by them to tho mission to assist it in supporting and helping the natives in time of stress.
