LONDON, April (By The Associated
Press) An official British protest is
understood to be in prospect as a re-
suit of alleged Turkish cruelties and
atrocities on Greek and Armenian
Christians in Asia Minor. A Turkish
terror lasting three days is reported
to have occurred in Cesarea, in which
many Greek and Armenian Christians
were killed. The Greek Metropolitan
of Sokia, fifty miles southeast of
Smyrna, was arrested by the Turks and
his present whereabouts is unknown.
In official circles it is said that great
numbers of charges and counter
charges from both the Greeks and
Turks have been received in British
quarters throughout the period of hos
tilties. The Greek charges are said to
have been substantiated and the Brit
ish protest will be made direct to the
Turks.

here to-day, to have immigration into

"In the East we have taken in an

Wood urged strong garrisons in the

be one which could easily be moved to

Points Out Inaccuracy
OF Terms of Jap Mandate

ut should be noted that this man
date not only recites Article 119 of
the Treaty Of Versailles, to the ef-
feet that Germany renowned in ia
vor of the principal Allied and as
ISOLATED powers all her rights over
her oversee possessions, including
therein the groups CT islands in the
Pacific Ocean lying north of the
equator but also recites that the
principal Allied and associated pow
ers agreed that in accordance with
Article %, Part l Covenant of the
League of Nations), of tho said
treaty, a mandate should be con-
ferred upon His Majesty the EN-

ly 1t cannot be said that an omission
to do so operated as n cession Of its
rights. 1t may be added, however.
that when the matter was brought to
the attention Of this government in
connection with the conference on
communication in October last, this
government informed the govern
mcnt Of Japan and other govern
ments (by notes Of November 9.
1920 that it was the understandinE
Of this government that the island
of zap was not irclrdcd in the ac-
ton Of May T, 1919. Its position
was subsequently stated at length.
ut is cause of regret to this
government that after and despite
this protest there should have been
any attempt to pass upon drafts of
Pacific Islands, including zap, and
that mandate should. have been ap-
proved or attempted to be put into
effect, which, while purporting to be
made in the name of the United
States, was without the assent Of the
United States. This government
trusts that this action, which it must
assume was taken under msap-
prchcnsion, will be reconsdered.
Refuses to Recognize
Validity Of Mandate
"ln particular, as no treaty has
States relating to the island of zap,
and as no one has ever been au-
thorized to ccde or surrender the
right or interest of the United States
in the island, this government must
insist that it has not lost its right
or interest as it existed prior to any
action Of the Supreme Council or
of the League of Nations. and can
not recognize the ALLEGATION of the
island or the validity of the man
date to Japan.
an this view, this government
deems it to be unnecessary at this
time to consider the terms of the So
called 'C' mandates, or the discus
sion with respect thereto.
This government, as has been
clearly stated in previous communi-
catlons,' seeks no exclusive interest
in the island of zap and has no de-
sire to secure any privileges with
out having similar privileges &C
corded to other powers, including,
OF course, Japan, and, relying upon
the sense of justice of the govern
mcnt of Japan and of the govern
ments of the other Allied and as
ISOLATED powers, this government
looks with confidence to a DISPOSE
ton of the matter whereby the just
interests of all may be properly
conserved"

Wilson Did Not Consent
To ALLEGATION of Yap

My first information of con-
tention that the so-called decision
OF May 7, 1919, by the Council of
-Four assigned to Japan mandate
for the island of zap was convened
to me by Mr.. Norman Davis in Oc-
tober last. I then informed him that
had never consented to the as
Segment of the island of zap to
Japan.
~ had not previously given par
ticuiar attention to the wcsding of
the Councll's minutes of May z, 1919,
which were only recently called to
my attention. | had on several oc
caslons prior to the date mentioned
made specific reservations regarding
the island of zap and had taken the
position that it should not be as
signed under mandate to any one
power, but should be International
lied for cable purposes. | assumed
mat this position would be duly con-
sldered In connection with the set
tlement of the cable question. and
that it therefore was no longer a
matter for consideration in conncc-
ton with the peace negotiations I
never abandoned or modified this DO
sition in respect to the island of Yap.
and l did not agree on May 7. 1919.
or at any other time, that the island
of zap should be included in the as
Segment of mandates to Japan.
AS matter of fact, all agree
ments arrived at regarding the as
slgnment Of mandates were condi-
tlonal upon a subsequent agreement
being reached as to the specific
terms Of the mandates, and, fur
Their, upon their acceptance by each
of the principal Allied and associated
powers. The consent of the United
States is essential, both as to assign
mcnts of mandates and the terms
and provisions of the mandates
after agreement as to their ASSIGN
ment or ALLEGATION.

peror of Japan to administer the
sand islands and have proposed that
the mandate should be formulated,
az set forth. While this last quoted
recital, as has already been pointed
out IN previous communications by
TINS government, is inaccurate in its
terms, lnasmuch as the United States
as one of the principal Allied and
associated powers had not so agreed
and proposed, the recital again rec
ognizes the necessity of the par-
ticipation of the United States in
order to make the proposed DISPOSE
ton effective
AS, in the absence of any treaty
with the United States relating to
the matter, there was no decision
on May z, 1919, binding the United
States, it is deemed to be unneces-
sary again to examine the brief min
ute of the meeting Of the Supreme
Council on that date. 1t may, how
ever, be proper to say that the min
utes of this meeting, although OBJ
viously without any fnalty, could
not properly be construed without
due regard to the other proceedings
Of the Supreme Council and with
out taking account of the reserva-
tions which President Wilson had
already made in the previous meet
ings OF the Supreme Council on April
81, April 80 and May 1, 1919. The
attitude Of President Wilson Is suf-
ficiently shown by the following
statement which he made to the
Department of State on March 3,
1921:
L beg to return the note received
yesterday from the Japanese Gov
eminent, which l have read, in rela-
ton to the proposed mandate COW
ering the island of zap.

According to the Elko Free Press.
the report comes down from the
north that there Is being maintained
in The jumpers" q big still. the big
gest in the United States. and the
moonshine Is being made on a whole
sale basis. II Is sent out in every d.
rection. and much Of 1T finds its way
into Eiko and a considerable part
passes through { other points.
The Nevada officers can do nothing
and the Idaho officers evidently have
no desire to tackle the moonshiners,
as it is said that 1t would take a
thousand men to successfully raid the
fastness Of the jumpers.
The information from a re-
liable source. continues the Free
Press, and 1t is believed that this is
the source of so much Of the bootleg
booze that Is coming into Elko Coun-
ty. There is . section Of mountain
country just over the N~evada-Idaho
line in the extreme southwest corner
of Idaho, known as The jumpers.
II Is similar to the Hole in the
WALL" and the Jackson Hole. and is
the mecca of law breakers. who once
in the ~fastness, are safe from the off,
GERS of the law, and II is a well known
fact that the first thing the Elko Off
GERS do when they know a horse or
cattle thief is headed northward, is to
get between him and THE jumpers"
as once there he is safe for the time
being.
Just to illustrate and to make this
fact impressive. a story Of the expert
ences of a former Elko County sher-
III will be interesting. We refer to l..
G. Clark, who was sheriff for many
years, until succeeded by Joe Harris.
! Clark was afraid of nothing, man,
beast or the devil, and he was given
a warrant to arrest a certain much
wanted criminal.
He knew that his man had gone to
THE jumpers" and started in after
him. He was stopped by friends who
implored him to turn back. but he
laughed and went on. He did come
back, but without his man, and had
nothing to say for a long time, but
eventually he told some Of his friends
that he had no chance whatever
against the outlaws who we're waiting
for him. Clark was a fair officer and
had the respect of the outlaws, and
as he penetrated the fastness of the
retreat he was held up at the point OF
a gun and told to go back.
