|DENIES AMERICAN PLEA
Mosiem ENJOYS Refuse to Attend
Meeting Of Sub-commission.

Lausanne-The American plea for
the establishment of an Armenian ma
tional home in Turkey will be present
led to the Near Eastern conference by
president Noradnnghian Pasha of the
Armenian national delegation. He
was once minister Of foreign affairs in
the Turkish cabinet and has been in
|lvted to appear before the sub-commis-
sion on m1norities to explain the de-
|lsres of the Armenian people.
The Turks have announced their de-
|cision not to attend his meeting. For
one thing they say they made up their
minds definitely hot to set aside any
part of Turkey for the Armenians, for
another, they assert that, as the Ar
|menians are Turkish subjects, they
should plead their cause before the
Turks, not before the conference as a
whole.

Bowlus Advance:-Occasional con-
versations with prominent members
of the Board of Commerce of
Little Falls has suggested the
idea of county gathering to discuss
matters of i'm portance to both the vii
hge and farm populations Of the coun~
ty Such meeting might consist of
delegates from the various precincts,
or it might be free-for-an assembly,
It might be 1-day affair, or it might
be l-week affair. We have reason
to believe that such a meeting would
meet with the general favor and that
every township, village and city would
be represented. There is no doubt that
such gathering could do much good
and help all parts Of the county to
work together for the benefit of all.
A hundred men and women studying
the county for week would be a
pretty interesting affair, and we would
be much surprised if it did not bring
results.
The Little Falls Board Of Commerce
is the logical organization to start
this matter, but there is nothing to
hinder any other Organization from
taking it up.
