ALL ARE ELIGIBLE
FOR THE PRIMARY

Attorney General E. T. England
has received numerous inquiries re-
Gently for information regarding
the registration for the primary of
young men who will be under q on
the date Of the primary, but will
be of age in time to vote this fall.
In an opinion General England
has held that 'if person is quail
fed to vote in the general election,
he is then qualified to vote in the
primary. If a voter is entitled to
vote at a genera election, he GER
tainly would be entitled to vote at
the primary and assist in naming
the party's nominees" The section
OF the law dealing with the ques-
ton follows
Every person shall be register
ed who Will be entitled to vote at
the first election occurring after
the registration by reason of his
arriving at q years of age be-
fore the time, or by reason Of his
having resided for sufficient length
of time in the state and county,
provided he is otherwise qualified"

Equal Cut in Mesopotamia Pc
troIeum Fields Claimed by

COLBY SENDS Note
Britain Is Told American Government:
Does Not Propose to Be Excluded
in Division-Membership in
League Not Essential.

,Washington-The American govern
ment has Informed Great Britain po-
litely but firmly, that it does not pro-
pose to be excluded from participation
in the rights and privileges obtained
under mandates provided in the trea-
ties of peace, Furthermore, it expects
to be heard regarding the terms Of
those mandates before they are put
into force.
The position of the United States
is set forth in a note by Secretary
Colby to Earl Curzon, the British
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
and the specific question discussed
Is that of the Mesopotamia petroleum
fields.
u. S. Refuses Exclusion.
The American note takes issue with
what is described as the British po-
sition that mandate agreements and
treaties are to be considered only by
states that are members of the League
of Nations 1t states that the United
States, as a participant in the World
wal, "and a contributor to it's success
fnl issue, cannot consider any of the
Associated Powers, the smallest not
less than itself, debarred from discus
sion of any of it's consequence, or from
participation in the rights and privi-
leges secured under the mandates pro-
vided in the treaties of peace"
Mr. Colby say in his note that the
American government accepts the
statement of the British government
that it has refrained from exploiting
the petroleum resources of the man
dated territories in question, land
welcome our pledges" that it is far
from the intention of Great Britain
to establish any kind of monopoly
or preferred proposition in it's own in
~terest."
Equal Treatment Demanded.
Il need hardly refer again." Mr.
Colby continue, ito the fact that the
government of the United States has
consistently urged that it is of the ut
most Importance to the future peace
OF the world that alien territory trans
ferred as a result of the wal with the
Central powers should be held and ad-
ministered in such a way as to assure
equal treatment to the commerce and
to the citizens of all nations. Indeed
1t was in reliance upon an understand
ing to this effect, and expressly in con-
temptation thereof, that the United
States was persuaded that the acquisi-
don under mandate of certain enemy
territory by the victorious powers
would be consistent with the best in
terests of the world.

O'Donnell's machines crashed together
on the Los Angeles Speedway at the
east end Of the grand stand near the
close of the 250-mile race.
O'Donnell was so seriously injured
that it was first reported he was killed.
His skull was fractured and both arms
broken and he died several hours
later.
John Breshnahan, Chevrolet's mech
anician, also was injured seriously.
O'Donnell's a struck the fence on
the east turn and bounded down the
incline, colliding with the car driven
by Castor Chevrolet. Both cars turned
over and piled up at the foot spf the
incline. The four men were pinned
beneath the cars. All were rushed to
the city police hospital.
The accident occurred while Chew.

fighting to make up the half a dozen
laps they were behind the leadere al

WOULD AID ARMENIANS
League to Appeal to Powers to
Mediate Turkish Aggression.
Earnest Debate Which Was Presented
by Vivianna Urging Council To
Take Action Indicated.

Geneva-The assembly of the
League of Nations decided, without a
dissenting vote, to appeal to the
powers in the hope of finding a gov.
eminent willing to undertake media.
ton between the Turkish Nationalist
under Mustapha Renal Pasha and the
Armenians.
Earnest debate preceded the vote on
the resolution, which was presented by
M. Viviani, former premier of France,
inviting the council to take the action
indicated. 1t threatened at times, how
ever, to justify predictions of the
leagues opponents that the work of
the assembly would founder on the
rule requiring a unanimous vote.
Mr.. Balfour of England explained
the failure of the council to find a
mandatory for Armenia. He .eferred
to the refusal of the United States to
accept a mandate and hoped that the
committee of the assembly might dc
better.
Viviani Pleads Earnestly.
NJ. Viviani pleaded warmly fol
prompt action, provoking the first en-
~thusiaStic demonstration of the assem-
bly,. He declared that if the assembly
was unable to do better than name an.
other committee it would proclaim its
WI impotence.
1t was remarked that Lord Robert
Cecil applauded vigorously from the
South African bench, while the Eng
fish delegates, Mr.. Balfour and H. A
L. Fisher, remained Indifferent. II
seemed against an eventual military
expedition more than against media,
ton, as proposed by M. Viviani.
Although DR.. Frithjof Nansen was
the only II to speak boldly in favor
of an expeditionary force to deal with
the Turkish Nationalist leader, all
others, except Mr.. -Balfour, approached
as closely as they could to this even
tuality without actually saying so.
The general impression, after the
debate, was that the assembly favored
fighting Renal Pasha, if no other way
was found to erd the conflict in Ar
menia.
There was a moment of supreme
tension when the vote was reached as
the attitude of Mr.. Balfour seemed tt
Indicate he would prevent a unanimous
vote.
M. Viviani, CASTOR ,da Cunha, Lore
Robert Cecil, NJ. La Fontaine (Bel
gian), Fl. Branting and DR.. Nansen con
ferred and decided to combine on thu
proposition as advocated by the French
and South African delegate.
To the great relief and surprise D
the assembly Mr.. Balfour was one O
the first to rise and vote for the reso
luton.

Announcement of New Charita-
BILE Organization Made
in Chicago.
HOOVER is CHAIRMAN
Coordination of Work in Europe to
Support 100000 Children Who
Have Seen Dependent on Amer
lean Charity Urged.

Chicago-Formal announcement OF
the organization of a European Relief
council with headquarters in New
York, composed of seven American or
CARNATIONS was made by Herbert
Hoover, former United States food ad
ministrator. Continuation of Ameri
can support in feeding the under-nour
ished peoples of Europe was urged by
Mr.. Hoover, who will act as chairman
OF the council. The dinner, rendered
by Howard J.. Jackson, formerly vice
president of the United States Grain
corporation, was attended by 800 Chi
chagoans.
Mr.. Hoover's address follows in
part:
Il v to announce the formation
of the European Relief council, com
posing the American Red Cross, the
Relief administration, the Quaker ser,
vice committee, the Knights of Colum,
bus, the Allied Church council, the Y.
M. G. A. and 7. W. C. A.
"The council, after full investigation
has decided that complete priority
should be given to American relief in
Europe to support 100000 children
who have, since the armistice, been
dependent on American charity, until
the children are secure over the win
ter.
"This relief will extend over Finland,
E%sthonia, Letva. Lithuania, Poland,
Germany, Austria, CzechosIovakia, Ser
bla, Roumania. Hungary and Armenia
1T is not a perpetual charge on Amer
lean charity. 1t is an emergency de-
mand. 1t will cost $23, 900, 900, about
one dollar per member per child until
next harvest. For every American dol
lar another dollar of local support is
provided in equipment and food, to-
gether with a vast amount of volun-
tary service. We have but to supply
them with their deficient milk, fats,
clothing and in some countries, bread
and they will succeed; without it they
fail.
ITO me it is a glory to the United
States that $500, 900 hungry waits
should sit every day at our table. l
would rather have the American flag
implanted in the hearts of the children
OF Europe than flying over any citadel
of victory. Twenty years from now
they will form the basis of civilization
in Europe. If we are to preserve the
foundations of society in the East, if
we are to keep open the love of human
ity in the West, our duty is clear be-
fore u.s."
