BHRNPATE FOR ARMENIA mm ASKED BY PRESIDENT Woodrow Wilscn Teils Congress He Realizes He is Urging "Very Criti' cal Choice" but Believes it Wish of People That United States Act. Washington. May 24.?Authority to accept for the United States a mandate over Armenia was asked of ; comrre?ss todav bv President Wilson. The executive said he was conscious that he was urging "a very critical choice" but that he did so'"in the earnest belief that it will be the wish of the peopie of the United States that this should be done." , The president's message was read in both the house and senate but was discussed in neither. Each house re ferred it to its commmee on luieigu relations and there was no indication ^wfcen either committee would lake it up. Some Republican leaders in the senate predicted privately that ^nessage would lie in the senate committee indefintefy. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,1 the Republican leader and chairman of the senate committee, had no comment to make on the executive's recommendations. In the past, how i ever, he has declared emphatically ms opposition to a mandate. Senator Harding, Republican, Ohio, chairman of the committee which investigated Armenian affairs, said he, would never consent to taking a mandate over Armenia and added that'he \ did not thiiik the senate would consent. j Opposition in Committee. "The foreign relations -committee," he said, "wras almost unanimous against a mandate,Democrats as well as Repub':"ans opposing such a /step." Senator Harding is the author of ^ the resolution recently adopted by the senate congratulating the Armenian people on the recognition of their independence and asking the presi-! dent to send a warship and American! marines to Baku. President Wilson, referred to this resolution in his message today but s'enators pointed out that this measure was adopted as a substitute, proposing that the United States become the mandatory for Armenia. | The president in his messag' i4 formed the senate that he had acctpt-;' ' ed the imitation of the allied supreme council that he undertake "to arbitrate the very difficult questions ^ of the boundary between Turkey and Armenia," saying he had thought it | his duty "to accept this difficult and \ delicate task." ) Provision for mandates over forjmer subject peoples is made in the treaty of Versailles and it is set forth that such mandates shall ue executed under the league of nations, but since\the United States ;s t a member o& the,, league, admin.st.ation officials said that if congress decided that the'\United States should act for ArmeniaVthe treaty provisions would be waivew- in this case. 1 The question of a mandate over Armenia, headed by Major General . Harbord, wjhich recently was present* ed to the senate. General Harbord ta>uuutbcu Lisitc attcpiiaitLc ui mandate would necessitate the presence of ojO.OOO American troops there. Other estimates, however, have placed it at less, once the Turkish army -bad been demobilized in accordance with the terms o? the Turkish treaty. - - j After ,citing the Harding resolution expressing 'the hope that stable government, proper protection of individual liberties and the full realization of nationalistic aspirations may soon be attained by the communica-j ( tion continued: f j "I received and read this document f wit)i great interest and with genuine ' gratification, not only because it em-, A bodies my own convictions and deal-! H ings with regard to Armenia and its' V r?pnnlp ruif. *isn and more particular rly because it seemed to me the verdict of the American people expressing their genuine convictions and d6ep; Christian sympathies, and intmating the line of duty which seemed to them to lie before us." Not Mere Coincidence. The president said that he could ; not "but regard it as providential,! and not as a mere casual coinci-: dence," that almost at the same time he received the senate resolution thes conference of statesmen at San1 Remo had "resolved to address a defi-. nite appeal to this government to accept a mandate for Armenia." I "In response to the invitation of (the council at San Remo I urgently advise and request that the congress, grant'the United States a mandate over Armenia. I make this sugges tion in the earnest belief that it will be the wish of the people of the United States that this should be done. . . . "I know from unmistakable evidences given by responsible repre-. sentatives of many peoples struggling towards independence and peaceful life again that the government of the, United States is looked to with extraordinary trust and confidence, and 1 believe that it would do nothing less than arrest the hopeful processes of \ivilization if we were to refuse the 1 request to become the helpful friends * and advisers of such of these people as we may be authoritatively and formally requested to guide and assist, j "I am conscious that I am urging' imon the conerress a verv critical I choice,'but I make the suggestion in the confidence that I am speaking in the spirit and in accordance with the wishes oi\ the greatest of the Christian peoples. "It is therefore with the most earnest hopefulness and with the feel-, jng that I am giving advice from1 which the congress will not willingly; turn away that I urge the acceptance of the invitation now formally and solemnly extended to us by the council at San Remo, into whose hands has passed the differences of government in the one time Ottoman empire and the maintenance oi order a;:d tolerable conditions of life in those portions of that empire which it is no longer possible fn the interest of I % [civilization to leave under the gov-j . ernment of the Turkish authorities ! themselves." j "The Street Called Straight." [ An all-star oast may be seen in: j Basil King's "The Street Called I Straight," an Eminent Authors pro-1 i auction presented by Goldwyn at! thejbpera house Thursday. ! directed by Wallace Worsley, this photoplay is acted with precise understanding of the character values of; each role. Charles Cleary does excellent work as Henry Guion, the oldest living rep-! resentative of a New England family,! who misuses funds entrusted to him j rin order to keep up appearances. Naomi Childers is seen as Olivia j Guion, his stately, proud daughter,1 whose assured position in society' makes her see life in terms of cyni-l cism and boredom. From this she is aroused by the generosity of Peter j Davenant and his absolute indiffer-' ence toward her. In realizing herj own limitations, she learns to appre- j ciate nis possiomties. * ^ i Milton Sills has the role of Peter Davenant, a. chivalrous, good-looking young man who gladly advances his all to' aid a friend in trouble. In direct contrast to Davenant is Colonel Rupert Ashley, played superbly by Lawson Butt. He seems to be consecrated to the idea of being worthy of his ancestors. ? Irene Rich's magnetic personality and charming presence add distinc-, tion to the part of Drosilla Fane, an; otfmpf.ivp widow. Alec Francis is always good. His work as Rodney Temple is just another example of his consummate skill on the screen. Lydia Yeamans Titu3 gives a splendid impersonation of Aunt Vic, Mme.1 De Melcourt, and Jane Sterling as Mrs. Temple completes an excellent cast. TRAITORS IN CARRANZA PARTY j KILLED CHIEF, AIDS DECLARE . . ! Mexico City, May 23.?A dispatch received from Juan Barragan, chief of staff of President Carranza, says Car-rn-nra mpf; his death at the Hands of Gen. Rodolfo Herrero's forces at Tlaxcalantongo. The dispatch did not give the exact date. The dispatch follows: "Villa Juarez, State of Puebla, May 22. , "To Gen. Alvaro Obregon: "Referring to your tjelegram of this date, Herrero joined the column at Palta, professing loyalty. Arriving at Tlaxcalantongo, Herrero offered hospitality to Carranza, placing sen+;r>oio wlm Vtipw the terrain. At 4 UlllV-Afc? f? ?fV .. ? o'clock in the morning his men, abusing the confidence imposed in them,' surrounded the shelter where Carranza was sleeping, firing their rifles furiously into the hut. Every one offered resistance, although with the natural demoralization caused by the unexpected attack. ! "Gen. Francisco Murguia fought valiantly in the obscurity (semidarkness). repulsing the traitors who surprised the defenders when they were leaving their shelter to attack the enemy. j ?e *.!? "Tne unexpectedness ui mc aiw?.A enabled us to clear our military honor. The defense was general to such an extent that the attackers were forced to take sixty prisoners, among them Mario Mendez, Paulino Fontes, Gil Garias, Gen. Perez, Col. Gomez, Gen. Villela and Carranza's military aid. , (Mendez formerly was director of the national telegraph lines. Fontes was former director of national railways and Garias was Carranza's private secretary.) "Our conscience is clear. Our grief for the death of the president is inconsolable. We are satisfied that we did not abandon, him for one moment. .J "The few men wounded* and dead is explained by the fact that the attackers planned their crime, knowing the place where the president, who had placed his confidence in Herrero, was sleeping. The loyalty and courage of the presidents followers were useless against the treason of those criminals." . | The message was signed by Barragan and Marciano Gonzalez, Fedprim Montes. Francisco de H. Maria and others. ! The flags on the American embassy and all the other embassies and lega- j t'ons were placed at half mast when the news of the assassination of President Carranza arrived. Only Two Persons filled. Mexico City, May 23.?President j Carranza and Gen. Morales Y. Molina: were the only persons killed (at Tlaxcalantongo, according to newspaper dispatches received here today, j Gen. Rodolfo Herrero is quoted W the dispatches as saying that he only desired to kill Carranza and Ygnac o Bonillas. Gen. Morales Y. Molina is said to' have been mistaken for Bonillas. j The dispatches add that the generals and two members of Carranza's cabinet who at first were reported to have been killed have disappeared and probably are in hiding. j BLOODY REACTION MAY FOLLOW KILLING OF PRESIDENT CARRANZA I Indignation of People Over Death of j Deposed Chief Causes Tense Situation in Mexico?Armed Opposition Expected. Mexico City, May 24.?Adolfo De La Huerta, Governor of Sonora, was j named president ad interim of Mexi-| co by extraordinary sessioi? of con-! gress this evening. He received 224 j votes against 28 for Pablo Gonzalez, j | Washington, May 24.?Official in-1 jterest in the Mexican situation was] j intensified today by reports of a wide-1 1 spread reaction resulting from the ! killing of Carranza, the deposed J ' president. These indications were j accompanied by information that the i : defacto government might have to I face almost immediate1}' not only the [ problem of reducing Villa, the !ong time rebel leader, to submission but also more important armed opposition. j Rep01 ts reached Washington today! from the Mexican capital that men prominent in political affairs were -suspected of preparing to take advantage of the indignation caused by Carranza's death to lead an avenging movement as did Carranza , when; Madero was assassinated in 1913.

One development in the situct'on; occurred here today when Luis Marones, a confidential agent sent to. the United States by Obregon, called1 at the White House to leave for! President Wilson a message signed by; Obregon containing reassuring decla-! rations as to the aims of the revolu-j tionists. One menace to international rela-; tions was eliminated by the reported' release of George Miller, British! manager of tne Alvarado Mining and j . Milling Company who has been held prisoner by Villa and by the announcement that the oil companies had complied with the demands of the defacto authorities regarding the payment of the export taxes. The oil: companies had delayed their payments nn+ii tl-xav rrtnlH rkhtum rPARSiirancea i as to whom the taxes should be paid. The taxes were paid at Mexico City. Manuel Palaez, to whom the oil; companies have paid tribute for several years, but who was announced' to have joined in the revolutionary movement was reported to be on his way to the capital after making a public statement that he favored the "movement of Obregon and Gonzalez. His endrosement of the plan of Agua Prieta, the revolutionary program promulgated in Sonora, was withheld. 1 1 1 * 1 1 ' w CARRANZA IS BURIED IN AN HUMBLE GRAVE Mexico City, May 24.?Venustiano Carranza was buried this afternoon in Dolores Cemetery. In compliance with a request in his will, the coffin was lowered into a humble grave in the midst of others where lie the bodies of people who occupied lowly _ and obscure stations in life. With the whole city in mourning, a hundred thousand people attended the funeral. The members Of thei diplomatic corps were headed by Mr. Summerlin, attache of the American' embassy. j A meeting of the Mexican congress j to select a provisional president was! delaved for hours because of inabilitv! to obtain a quorum. It was the week before little Willie's birthday and he was on his knees at his bedside .petitioning Divine Providence for presents in a very loud voice. "Please send Me," he shouted, "a bicycle, a tool chest, a?" "What are "you praying so loud for?" his younger brother interrupted. "God ain't de'af." "I know he ain't," said little Willie, winking toward the next room, "but grandma is."?London Opinion. . SPECIAL ELECTION IN BUSH RIVER SCHOOL DISTRICT, i NO. 43.
