LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO
z ADMINISTER ARMENIA
Ambassadors Decide to With
draLD Troops From, Albania.

PARIS, March 25 ASSOCIATED Press) -
The allied Foreign Ministers, holding ses-
sions here on Near Eastern questions, to-
day decided to give over the administra-
tion of Armenia to the League OF Ma
tions and TO leave with the league the
responsibility for supervision and pro-
lection of the mnorities.
The Ministers finished their discussion
Of the freedom of the Dardanelles, but
declined TO make public what det~sion
had been reached. The report of the
financial experts regarding revision OF
the financial clauses of the treaty OF
Seyres was also approved, but the de-
tails were withheld.
Another session will be held to-mor-
row, when the Foreign Ministers will
discuss the status of Thrace, as well as
revision of the military clauses of the
Seyres pact.
The Allied Council of Ambassadors to-
day decided that the international troops
occupying Scutari. Albania should be
withdrawn. These forces are entirely
Italian, although they are occupying the
town in the name of the Allies. The de-
csion TO withdraw the troops is under
stood to be due to civil strife existing in
Albania.
The Foreign Ministers are trying to
plug the news leaks in their own dele
cations following the publication yester-
day of accounts of their differences over
the disposition of the Armenians in Asia
Minor.
Marquis Curzon. British Foreign Sec
retary, is reported TO have complained
emphatically to Premier Poincare against
such matters becoming public. M. Poin-
care summoned before the Cabinet
newspaperman, who refused the sources
of his information, but absolved the
French delegation from blame.
Lord Curzon is then said to have asked
Poincare for protection against French
press methods" whereupon the French
Foreign Office officials examined another
reporter. He was as secretive as the
frst. however so the Foreign Ministers
finally decided the only means Of pre-
venting publication of confidential mat
ters would be to keep the members OF
their delegations from talking.

Government of southern Ireland was
carrying out Its difficult task led him to

Government of Ireland, broadly speak
ing, had been entirely left to Irishmen
it was for them to decide what they
would do with It. "Will they sink into
a welter Of anarchy and strife" he
asked, "or will they rise hopefully and
faithfully to a bright future of peace
and freedom, which Is within their
grasp? 1t is for them to decide.
Their fate is in their own hands.
