POWERS URGING THIS COUNTRY
TO ACT AS MANDATORY FOR
ARMENIA AND TURKEY
It S. DELEGATES UNDECIDED
u. S. Delegates Feel That Sentiment
Should Develop Before Giving
Any Answer
Paris,—No answer has been return¬
ed by the American delegates to the
peace conference to what is said to be
an. almost unanimous desire of the
other powers that the United States
undertake to act as mandatory for Ar¬
menia and the other severed prov¬
inces of Turkey, Such of the Ameri¬
can delegates, as will discuss the sit¬
uation say they are disposed to insist
this development of the plan for man¬
datories, holding that it is the business
of Europe to look after the Europeans
and the people of the Near East.
Tlie argument used by the other
powers in support of their desire that
the United States assume some of tlie
obligations to care for the welfare of
backward peoples affected by the
peace settlement and assist in their
advancement to a higher state of civi¬
lization is based upon the unlimited
confidence of other governments and
because it is known that the United
.States has no territorial aspirations.
Furthermore, it is urged that the con
fidence of the Armenians and the oth¬
er peoples of the provinces affected,
through the long exerted influence of
Robert College at Constantinople, is a
strong reason for the participation of
America as the mandatory power.
The American delegates feel they
should await as to what duties may
devolve upon the United States in con¬
nection with its interest in the wel¬
fare of dependent peoples.
It seems to be the view in Ameri¬
can circles that the powers granted
the mandatory nations will have a con¬
siderable influence* in shaping the at¬
titude of the American delegation on
this question. If the mandatory is
limited to the employment, of native
constabulary to enforce its mandates,
there might, it appears, be less objec¬
tion to accepting such a responsibil¬
ity than if It were contemplated that
the mandatories u«e military forces of
their own, this latter idea being obnox¬
ious to the Americans.
$1,250,000,000 LOSS ON
WHEAT FOR THE
U. S. GOVERNMENT
Washington.—Grain dealers appear¬
ing before the house agriculture com¬
mittee proposed that the government
pay the guaranteed price of $2.26 a
bushel for the 19111 wheat crop and
sell it to the consumer at the world
market price, which they estimated
would be about $1.25. The witnesses
generally believed this plan would cost
the government probably a billion and
a quarter dollars, but said this loss
was preferable to any attempt on the
part of the government to main lain an
artificial price.
Representative Lever of South Car¬
olina suggested three other plans—
that the wheat movement be entirely
on the pre-war basis; that the move¬
ment possibly be restricted by the gov¬
ernment being authorized to sell or
buy so as to prevent manipulation, and
that the domestic movement be entire¬
ly on the pre-war basis with the ex¬
port movement under federal control.
Embargo Lifted On Food Exports
Washington.—The most sweeping re¬
moval of restrictions upon the expor¬
tation of foodstuffs made since the
signing of the armistice was announc¬
ed by the war trade board. Commod¬
ities removed from the export conser¬
vation list were barley, com and rye,
including flour and meal made from
these grains; oats and oat products,
brewers’ grains, bran and middling,
beans, dried and split peas, sugar and
hydrogenated cotton seed oil.
French Take Pasha's Residence
Paris.—The Turkish authorities, ac¬
cording to The Matin, have requisi¬
tioned the Constantinople palace of
Enver Pasha, the former Turkish min¬
ister of war, as a residence for Gen.
Franchet d’Esperey, the allied com¬
mander in European Turkpy.
City Of New York Seeks To Cecede
Albany, N. Y.—The second “seces¬
sion bill’’ within a week was intro¬
duced in the legislature by Assembly
man Peter Leininger (Dem.) of Queens
county. The measure is designated to
create a state of Greater New York,
to be composed of the counties now
within the city of New York, and Nas¬
sau, Suffolk, Westchester, Putnam.
Duchess. Ulster, Orange, Sullivan and
Rockland counties. Senator John J.
punnigan introduced a bill to provide
for the city of New York being es
tablished as the state of Liberty.

Five Bottles of Cardni
Made Her Well.
Kathleen, Fla.—Mrs. Dallas Price,
of this place, says: “After the birth
of my last child...I got very much
run-down and weakened, bo much
that I could hardly do anything at
all. I was so awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition, was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
•———about my taking Cardui. He
said, It s a good medicine, and good
for that trouble’, so he got me 5 bot¬
tles... After about the second bottle I
felt greatly improved.. .before taking
it my limbs and bands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking It,
however, this poor circulation disap¬
peared. My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road to
health. After the use of about 5 bot
ties, I could, do all my house-work
and attend to my six children be¬
sides."
You can fee! safe In giving Cardui
a thorough trial for your troubles. It
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed of mild, vege¬
table, medicinal ingredients with no
bad after-effects. Thousands of Women
have voluntarily written, telling of

GEORGIA MAH
HAD QUITE A SIEGE
in Hospital, But Improved (My After
Taking Zlrcn Iron Tonic.
In a recent statement, J. H. Martin
of Mount Vernon, Ga., says:
“I was in the hospital with stomach
trouble and had quite a siege. It
seemed I would never get my strength
back after I came out I had been so
ill. I ached all over. I was nervous,
restless and yet did not feel like get¬
ting around. My skin was yellow. My
appetite poor. I was in pretty bad
shape and began to look around for a
tonic. I felt like part of the trouble
was lack of iron in my blood. I was
so easily worried, bo easily upset. I
heard of Ziron and knew It would help
me. I began to take It and the im¬
provement was great. It strength¬
ened me, renewed my nerves and
toned up my eyatem.’’
When you feel that you need
strength, remember that Ziron is a
perfected preparation of iron salts,
combined with dther strength-giving
ingredients. Try Ziron.
