Herbert A. l.. Fisher, British min
lister Of education, representing Great
Britain, read a report on the Armenian
situation, advocating the constitution
of a state Of Armenia on free and
independent basis. The best means
for reaching such a solution, the re-
port said, was the acceptance Of the
mandate for Armenia by some state
under the. League of Nations. AS to
what state would be willing to accept
this responsibility would depend, ac-
Icording to the opinion Of the council
of the league, partly on the military
measures necessary to liberate the soil
from the enemy, the financial consid-
erations and the maintenance of the
state afterward. The council did not
consider that it was in its province
to examine into the military situation
lin Armenia, the report said.
AS the league council does not meet
Iagain before autumn, it will enter into
communication with the supreme coun-
ell to ascertain what provisional fl
.nancial arrangements can be made to
facilitate a solution Of the Armenian
problem
Count Bonin-Longare, Italian ambas-
sador to France, read a report on the
prisoners of war in Siberia. The coun-
Gil resolved to investigate the facts OF

which can be taken to expedite the re-
patriation Of the prisoners.

ection Of minorities. AS the guaran-
tee clauses have not yet been settled,

Paris.-The Earl of Derby, British

OF Cancellation, according to semi
official communication, and allows OF
the hope that within brief time the

The note will not be made public
by the French government, but it is
earned that it attaches special import

France is reserving liberty of action

Ansnnfs. IA, answer to the Texas OIL
companys bill for an injunction to pre-
vent the state oil department from col
lecting oyerplus fees for oil inspections
was filed in the United States district
coprt by attorneys representing J. J..
prown state commissioner of agricul-
ture. and other defendants in the suit.
Al the same time the defendants filed
n motion alleging that the Dill Oh the
oil company was vague, uncertain and
insufficient and asking that the court
order the plaintiff company to make a
better statement of its allegations,
The answer of the state officials
denied that the collection of revenue by
tho oil department was in violation
of the state and United States constl-I
tutions as alleged in the bill OF the
Tavas company, and denied also that
the inspections were made whlle the,
ous were in interstate commerce
which VISA the allegation on which
the oil company had based its charge
that the oil departments operations
conflicted with the constitution.
II was set out in the answer that
the oil company brings its oils into
this state in tank cars consigned to-
the company itself; that the cars are
placed on private sidings belonging
to the company and that the oil is
later transferred to stationary tanks
from which it is delivered TO the pa
irons of the company. Therefore, it
was contended that the oil is not in
spected by the state until it has passed
out of the hands of the carrier and
has reached it's final destination in
! this state.
The answer sets out further that the
state has the right to refuse to lnspecp
the oils until they have been placed
in barrels OF cher packages for the
trade, but that this had never been
insisted on and that the state had
made it's inspections while the oil was,
in the tank cars at the request or
the company.
