LEAGUE ONLY HOPES V, FOR WILSON'S AID I Geneva, Nov. 27.?The attitude T among delegates of the assembly of the League of Nations toward the appeal of the league to President Wilson to act as mediator in the I Armenian situation appears to be ' one of hope without expectation that tj( 1 the United States will relieve Europe eI - - ? ;__l> ( and the league 01 an eniDarrassing ei . question. pi Behind the admitted necessity of I doing something for Armenia there is a conflict of European interests in' volved. Great Britain, it is under- ^ stood, would look with great dis- j0 ' favor on intervention by any power aj 1 having rival interests. Action by the aj [ United States in Armenia, it is held, w would involve no such complications. 1 In defaunlt of action by President ai . Wilson, general opinion here is that ^ France is the country most likely to . offer favorable reply to the mediation . in ' appeal made by the council of the , league yesterday to the various ^ powers, at the same time th6 message ' to President Wilson was sent. Ac- ? ni " ceptance, by France, however, it is ^ ; understood would be on condition of . ' lr 5 i full support by the other powers. ^ 5 The activities of the assembly have ! J been transferred for the time being j CJ " from the hall ot tne reiormauon 5 where the full sessions of the body } have been held, to the headquarters ? 5 \ ui , of the secretariat. Here the com> ai } mittees and sub-committees were ^ * holding sessions throughout the day. j They will continue their labors until 3 Tuesday next, when the assembly! ^ 5 ' ' 1 0' , will reconvene, hear the first'reports | ? ! li 3 of the committees and take up the i I lc 3 resolution of George Nicoil Barnes of! 5 I CI , Great Britain asking the council to | 1 ' s explain why it did not intervene to I | prevent the clash between the Poles i ^ 3 and Russian Bolsheviki last summer. | ? Committee number six of the as- j a: ' sembly has finally settled upon the j w s principle of its report on disarma,ment, the French viewpoint pre- & 5 vailing. The recommendation will be ^ s that disarmament be imposed only $ ? with due regard for the security of u s the different states. 5 While a sub-committee is drawing ^ up this report the -committee is taking up the question of an economic 5 blockade as an arm of the league j ti '! against offending nations. j ai : Washington, Nov. 27.?President jbi j | Wilson received today the appeal of | a] . j the League of Nations that he act as tc j mediator in the Armenian situation, ai j The message reached the White n , House last night from Geneva and f was delivered to the President this I O i ; j morning. j | Mr. Wilson already has consented i to fix the boundary lines of Armenia, R ' | 1 but there was no information at the * White House as to his ideas on the r subject of mediation. Nineteen heavily loaded freight 1 cars broke loose while being switched from one track to another at Troyes, France, and rushed -downhill towards , \ ti p a station. An employe jumped on a ' bicycle and raced along the track j paralled with the train, and then, f jumping on one of the fast-moving f I* D1 } cars, applied the brakes and prevent- ' r ed a serious colision. L BROTHER AND SISTER st t MAGAZINE AND BOOKS ^ I P( From Detroit News. m [ Translations into the Japanese of c* American and European children's e< | books are made with two versions, s* . one for boys and one for girls. From j the time babies are cuddled in the C1 j grandparent's arms songs of brave warriors are crooned to little master, *s T and proverbs of patient wives recited A ! in baby talk to girts. In games and _n< ' celebrations there is no similarity. 01 | Six years in the elementary school ^ : represent the only time in Japanese p? 1 life when the sexes associate freely ^ J together, before and alter tnat i i short period their lives are separate j 1 in work, in pleasure, in ambitions.! Even the most progressive juvenile magazihes are published in couples? the brother's number and the sister's ^ number. The boys' number contains J pi stories encouraging manly virtues. ce The girl's number has stories of gen- ^ tleness and sacrifice. The interesting as thing is that both have the same; translated serial running at the same j fa time. The magazines are equal in m literary merit, but even the Haku- 0f I * ? ? * ii -i. i . . J_ _ii I Dunkan, tne Dig nouse xnat xeaas an re Japan, is careful to select its material c]( in accordance with the old-establish- fjj ed rule. Were this not done, it is unquestionably true that neither the j m brother, nor sister magazines could be, nc popular or self supporting. rHITE PLAGUE CLAIMS SCORES OF VICTIM uberculosis Takes Heavy Toll / raong Industrial Workers?Plan To Combat Disease. Referring to the fact that the sa! : Christmas seals had been indorse j the South Carolina State Federj Dn of Labor and by Samuel Gom] s, president of the American Fei ation of Labor, J.

"Rig! 3w more than one million persoi i this country are suffering fro: itive tuberculosis. , Of course, the ive had to give up their wor hink of what an enormous ec smic loss this entails.
