In this respect It differed greatly from the morning session, which took up the problem of providing, a national home for the Armenians. Angry at the allies’ attempt to bring the Armenian question into the official discussion, Rita Nur Hey, the second Turkish delegate, delivered a short but violent at tack on the allies, then brusquely nmrg&ed out of tbe meeting ball.

OPPORTUNITY FADING WASHINGTON.—(By TTie Asso ciated Press)—The possibility of my development abroad to change tlic policy of Franco and bring Amen, an eld into tho reparations breach in Europe appeared Satur day night to be fading hour by hour. Thore la reason to' believe that the Washington government not only sees no further opportunity at this time to euggeit a way . to France-BriUsh reconciliation, but lacks also^any Intimation that It# solid offices will be sought from across the Atlantic, at least 1% ad vance of an actual teat of the French theories on reparations. Once the French plan has been tried and Its resnlt demonstrated, the situation with respect to Amer ican aid may change.
