Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 22.
President Wilson to-day dropped a
depth bomb into the currents of Euro
pean politics by proposing world
concert of action in dealing with the
Russian Bolshevist problem. The
President took advantage of the fact
that the League of Nations assembly,
after having invited him to act as
mediator in the Armenian situation.
developed an amazing indifference
toward it's own invitation. Instead of
Offering the President cooperation in
mediating the Armenian question,
Paul Hymans, president of the league
assembly, sent telegram to the Presi-
dent under date of January 23 sug-
gesting that Mr.. Wilson instruct the
American High Commissioners at Con-
stantinople to confer with the allied
High Commissioners on the subject.
The Presidents reply written in the
name of Acting Secretary of State
Davis. is addressed to NJ. Hymans and
refuses to accept this suggestion. The
President says he has already decided
upon Henry Morgenthau as the man
to represent him.

Policy of watchfuI waiting.

With this background conveniently
furnished him, Mr.. Wilson calls attention
to the fact that Russia furnishes the
KEY TO all of the difficulties in the Near
East as well as being the chief obstacle
TO general :apace. BY irdjpction fe
notes the fact there has been no concert
of policy in dealing with Russia and
proposes there shall be such n concert
and offers the American policy toward
Russia as the basis for 1t.
The President is not absolutely ex-
plicit in his suggestion of plan for
dealing with Russia, but he definitely
opposes any plan of dismembering that
country and proposes there shall be
universal policy of watchful waiting.
He deprecates any military method of
dealing with the Russian problem and
at the same time excoriates the present
Bolshevist regime as tyrannical minor
ity. His statement is susceptible of the
Interpretation of being criticism of
the Japanese policy toward Russia in
Asia, of the evident French policy of
Joining hands with Poland and of the
British policy of opening trade relations
separately with the Bolshevist Govern
ment.
The letter Is timed TO confront the
allied Premiers at their approaching
meeting in Paris.

looks after the morals of Harlem, re-
ceived letter the other day from an
rate husband. The writer informed
Inspector Cahalane that he might send
couple of detectives to an apartment
house in West 129th street near
Eighth avenue and obtain some mighty
interesting information.
According to the text of the letter
the complainant's wife was giving too
much attention TO the happenings at
New Orleans and Havana. or, in other
words, betting on the races. He felt
that proper action by the police would
insure him little more happiness and
perhaps a dinner or two on time.
So Inspector Cahalane sent two Of
his best hammered young men around
to look over the situation. The job
fell to Detectives Miller and Matthews
because they are natty dressers and
can talk themselves in anywhere.
Beginning of the Raid.
Early yesterday afternoon Matthews
They stood in a doorway across the
street and watched for the fashionable

wasted their money there. Presently
they saw two young women wearing ex-
pensive fur wraps alight from taxi
cab and trip through the entrance to
the building. Matthews and Miller fol-
lowed
Failing in behind the two detectives
as they walked into the entry of the
apartment building came relnforcements.
Inspector Cahalane was there and so
we're four others of his detectives and
eight uniformed men. They took various
posts Of vantage. some going TO The roof
Of the house and others to the courtyard.
Two stationed themselves at the cellar
end OF the dumbwaiter.
Miller accompanied the two women to
the fourth floor in the elevator. Mat
thews. who was running up the stair
way. got TO the fourth floor landing just
as a door was being opened. There was
no necessity for a signal by the leader
Of the raiders. Miller's foot wedged it,
self in the opening of the door and the
screams of fright that followed 1t
brought Inspector Cahalane and his
squad into the action.
As the detectives entered the apart
ment the twenty-three women there tried
TO leave by windows and the dumwaiter.
Some of them were as old as 65 years,
but they proved spry. and moved around
so rapidly that Matthews lost the count
once and reported eighty-seven persons
present when there were really only
thirty.

Text of the Note.

The text of the note follows
your telegram of December &c, 1920
transmitting message received by the
council from the British Government
concerning Armenia, stating that Ar
menia is reported to be under the con-
troi of Soviet Russia. and suggesting
that the President instruct the Amer
ican High Commissioner at Constanti-
nople to take up the matter with the
Allied High Commissioners, has been
received and read with interest by the
President, who instructs me to reply as
follows:
"'rhe President does not deem II prac-
ticable TO instruct the American High
Commissioner at Constantinople to act
for him in this matter. AS was stated
in my telegram of December 16. 1920,
he has chosen the Hon. Henry Morgen-
thau. who has been prepared to act for
him I'm such steps as may be taken.
Before instructing hir, to proceed. how
ever, the President has been awaiting
the definite assurances and information
from all the principal Powers inter-
csted, as requested in his cable of No
vember 80. 1920. defining the conditions
under which he would endeavor to
mediate.
THE message from the British Prime
Minister transmitted by your on De
cember 26 would seem to indicate the
i,npracticabiity or futility of the Presl-
dent addressing himself. at least I'm the
first instance. TO the Armenians and
Kemalsts. The President Is inclined to
share this view ana to feel that no solu-
ton can be had without first getting at
the source of the trouble.
Cause of the Trouble.

assurances requested by the President
In his telegram of November 30, 1920, 1t

possible remedies. II would appear that
the immediate cause Of trouble In Arme-
MIA and Turkey has been the Treaty of
Sevres. Admittedly, this was difficult
question with which TO contend, but the

Rebekah Social Club.

A pleasant evening was spent
at the home Of Mrs. j.. P. Soren-
son last Friday evening, wher
the Rebekah teachers, Misses
Lottie Dunham, June and Doro
thy Cole, Roxie Roe, Madge Mil
ler, and Ruth Scott entertained
the club.
The home and table were dec
GRATED in pink and green in re-
membrance of the order.
The evening, until a late hour.
was spent in fancy work, music,
games and jokes, with all doing
Justice in their share of laughter.
Then each member located her
self at the table by place cards
where all did justice to a dainty
two-course lunch.
When the hour came to depart
it was decided that the only fault
that could be found was that the
teachers don't entertain quite Of
ten enough.
The invited guests were: Mrs.
Pennell, Mrs. Rantz, Mrs. Milton
Mitchell and Miss Scott s mother
who is visiting here from Mos
COW. Members present: Mes
danes Thompson, Heston, Walk

meeting. All members are in
vited to meet at the home of Mrs.
Emerson the next meeting.

lack of proper cooperation be-
tween the rehabilitation depart
ments are the two principal
counts against the government.
But two and a half years have
elapsed since the signing of the
Ermistice and tens of thousands
of veterans are destitute, some
unable to get compensation $780,
900 cases disallowed-thrown
down-out of half a million ap-
plications) and tens of thousands
more veterans are in county jails,
insane asylurns, charity hospitals
or sick at home, because they can
not get recognition for their cases
from the Government, and be-
cause there are not enough gov
ernment hospitals for a fourth of
them if they could get that rec
ognition.
Are you proud of that record
for the richest and most prodi-
gal country on the globe, whose
congress, already having been
made aware of these conditions,
passes them by and bubbles on
the question of advancing a bill

to stimulate their Industries? Re-
question, would we not be more
justified in using that billion dol
lars in the care of those who are
still at war, within our own boun-
daries?
Of course many sincere and in
telligent men in places of power
have done nothing because they
are not aware of the conditions.
Many more have done nothing be-
cause they don t care. / will lat

Mrs. Ruby Adams -Shoff Buried
Here.

The remains of Mrs. Harry B.
Shoff, who died on the 10th in
stant at the family home in Port
Eland, were brought to this city
last night and funeral services
were conducted from the Christ
ian church at IL o'clock this

ago.
Ruby Adams was born near
Spokane on July &c, 1895, and
moved with her parents to this
section while she was yet child.
She attended school here and
graduated. from our high school

Cottonwood Also Shows Civic
Pride.

At special meeting held by
the city council in their council
chambers Wednesday evening,
the council by a unanimous vote
authorized the purchase of four
acres of land from r. S. Curless
lroar the Frank Terhaar home,
the purchase price being 1925 an
acre, to be used for a permanent
play ground by the city of Cot
tonwood. The council also auth
orized a week s work done at the
Axpense of the city. The city
fathers at their regular meeting
Monday evening took up the mat
ter of purchasing the tract but
tabled the matter until members
of the council could for them
selves personally investigate the
tract. A petition bearing the
signatures of many tax payers in
Cottonwood was presented to the
council Monday evening asking
them to purchase the site.
A permanent base ball park
and play ground has been under
discussion for some time. In
former years all work and money
expended on undertakings of this
kind has been practically thrown
away on account of the grounds
always having been leased and
consequently the work had to be
done over again when new
grounds were leased.
The tract purchased by the,
city is considered to be an ideal
base ball ground having excep-
tionally good water drainage. All
work upon the grounds will be
done with the idea of permanent
cy and it is hoped that within a
few years Cottonwood will have
as good a diamond as is to be
found on the prairie.-Chronicle.

Double Suicide BY Poisoning.

Mrs. Thomas Stevens and her
daughter, Mrs. Gray Hosley, re-
siding about five miles east of
Forest, in this County, committed
suicide last Saturday afternoon
by stlychnine poisoning. At the
inquest, conducted on the follow
ing morning by County Coroner
DR.. J. F. Gist, the evidence of
suicide was brought out in a note
left by the woman, but no motive
for the deed was made apparent.
1t is presumed, however, that an
illness on the part Of the younger
woman through which she had
been confined in the sanitarium
at Orofino until about six weeks
ago, had brought on desponden-
cy.
The women were still alive and
suffering intensely from the eff
fects of the poison when Mr..
Hosley happened on the scene
and he hurriedly summoned med
ical aid, DR.. Mclaughlin from
Winchester, responding, BIZ.
scarcely had he reached the place
when Mrs. Hosley expired and
her mother lasted but a short
while longer.

her husband and one son, and
