MANDATORY RIGHT
OF TERRITORIES IS
ASKED FOR ALL BY
u. s. GOVERNMENT
(By The Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 22.-The Ameri-
can government has sent directly to
the council Of the league of nations
its demand that all allied and asso-
clated nations be given equal oppor-
tunity in mandate territories.
1t was announced today at the state
department that an identical note with
the one on this subject sent to the
British government last November had
been dispatched to the council, which
Is in session in Paris. Decision to act
in this question Notwithstanding an
early change of administration, was
predicted upon the understanding that
the council contemplated immeiiate
action on mandate such as those in
Mesopotamia and Palestine.
Great Britain never has replied 10
Secretary Colbys note OF protest last
November. nor has the United States
received the official drafts OF the man
dates which it requested be sent her.
Paris. Feb. 22.-The American state
department has sent q note TO the
league Of nations on the subject OF
mandates, It was learned here today.
The American embassy In Paris has
notified DR.. Da Cunha, president Of
the league council, to the effect that
the state department Understands the
terms OF the mandate for CORNER enc
my colonies who were 10 be approved
ut this meeting of the council and
adding that the United States had
observations to make on this sub
ject which were considered of the ut
most Importance,
The state department asks the coun-
Gil not to take final action until these
observations are presented In a note
on the subject which is being drafted
and which should reach Paris soon,
perhaps toiay.
This IL tho first note the United
States has sent directly TO the league
OF nations.
The text OF the note had not reach
ed the American embassy UP TO two
o'clock this afternoon. IL IL believed
in league Of nations circles, however,
that II concerns either the Island OF
Yap, the Pacific cable station whose
status is In dispute or the Franco
British Mcsopotamia oil agreements.
Ambassador Wallace's letter will be
read to the council at this mornings
session. 1t was addressed TO Senor
da Cunha, and TO Sir Eric Drummond

tons.

s'L'Amore del Ire Re-
Sung at Opera Matinee
Cigli Makes First Appearance
as Avito and Brings Out
Rearties of Text

Montemezzi's exquisite opera,
"L'Ameor del Tre Re-" was sung at
the Metropolitan Opera House yester-
day afternoon for the first time this
season. 1t was Mr.. Gigli's first ap-
pearance as Avito. While other tenors
have been more romantic, both in ap
pearsnce and action, he sang the music
with poetic feeling and full apprecia-
tion Of the beauties of the text. Mr..
Mardones's Archibaldo, the blind old
king, is now a familiar operate por
trait, so too is Miss Eastons concep-
tion of Flora as highbred chatelaine
of medieval days struggling to fulfill
her duties to her lord against a hope
less passion. Mr. Amato's Manfredo,
was perhaps the most compelling figure
on the stage. He brings rare nobility
and tenderness TO the character, at
once arousing sympathy in difficult
role.
The opera was followed by repeti-
ton Of the new ballet, al Carlton
Magico," with the usual cast headed
by Miss CALI, Miss Rudolph and Mr.
BonfgIio.
In the evening Lucia" was sung by
Miss Garrison, Mr.. Chamlee and Mr.
Danise
