remain in the custody of Mr. and Mrs.

enough coal to last until September
He believes the coal situation will be
somewhat relieved by that time.

HOUSE WRITES
ON DIPLOMACY
Discusses League Publicity
And Our Need for Light
On World Affairs.
BY COL. 4. M. HOUSE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-There is
no more important question before
the league of nations than the ques-
tion OF publicity. 1t marks the diff
ference between the old order and
the new; between the diplomatic
failures of yesterday and the de-
OF the people today to
know in advance where they are
being led and by whom.
In no great country, excepting
Russia, is there such need of gem
eral education on foreign affairs as
there Is in the United States. We
do not yet understand the intimate
relations between the happenings
abroad and ourselves, or how mex
tricably We are tied to the civiliza-
ton of that part of the world to
which We are bound by blood and
as well as by commerce.
it is to our interest
to know the forces that are at work
in Geneva in order that We may
pass judgment on the men and the
motives guiding them.
Foreign Offices for Secrecy.
The foreign Offices of the world
have, with but few exceptions,
looked askance at the league and
its purposes. They and not the
people, are for secret rather than
open diplomacy. 1t has been the
few behind closed doors who have
heretofore decided upon policies
which have led up to wars, wars
that the people have fought and
through which they have suffered.
If the United States had imme-
diately Joined the league we would
surely have led the fight for open
diplomacy. This was known in the
chancellories of Europe. and some
OF them were already planning to
it.
Lord Robert Cecil has done what
he could for open diplomacy. and
has met the expectations of his
friends and admirers. but he is un.
der a great handicap. He is not
representing Great Britain and he
has not the weight of that govern
ment back of him.
Too Much Publicity Feared.
On the contrary it seems certain
il the United States had been rep
resented at Geneva to voice this
cause. that We would have had
back of us the liberal sentiment of
the world and this would have
given it an irresistible impetus.
There is something to be said
against too much publicity in dip
negotiations. If every step

ENDWAR
WITH ARMENIA
Near East Republic Agrees
To Boundaries Named
At Brest-Litovsk.
By GUGLIELMO EMANUEL.

ROME. Nov. 2s.-ohcial reports
from Tifis confirm the end of the
war between the Turkish National
lists and Armenians.
Peace negotiations were begun
yesterday on the basis of the ar
mistice already signed November ls
by which Armenia will be restrict
ed to the frontiers fixed by the
treaty of Brest-Litovsk. This rem
ders superfouos Wilson's trbitra-
tion on Armenian frontiers.
The rumor that the remnants of
Wrangers army will be conveyed
by French warships to the Adriatic
port of Cattaro has raised a storm
of protest here. Count Sforza, Ital-
ian foreign minister at the London
meeting. will. it is understood,
oppose strenuously Russian coloni-
zation of Adriatic territory. The
paramount reason for the Italo-
Jugoslav agreement was the COM
mon interest that the Adriatic
should belong solely to these two
countries.
Italy does not understand why
two years after the armistice, GER
tain powers signatory to the peace
treaties should still consider the
Adriatic ports as naval bases at
their disposal.
Italy, it is declared, paid dearly
for the hurried permission by Or.
lando and Sonnino to make Fiume
the supply base for so-called army
of the Orient. There are ALREADY
too many Observation-Disclosures In
French-Italian relations to allow
the new pretext to make Cattaro a
French Russian base.
