WILL GENERAL WOOD
BE NAMED THE MAN?
SECRETARY OF WAR DECLINES
TO DISCUSS POSSIBLE AP-
POINTMENT OF GENERAL
WHO MAY LEAD CAMPAIGN
Washington Dtte.' 1. Secretary
Eaker refused today to discuss
Geneva dispatches stating that
Major General Leonard Wood had
been mentioned as a pnsslblo se-
lection by the league of nations
Armenian commission to lead tho
proposed campaign of the Armen-
ians against Mustapha Kernul
Tasha tho Turkish rationalist
leader.
"It would tie plainly improper
for me to make any comment
until I have received ofleial con-
firmation of the press dispatches"
tho secretary suld.
Geneva Die 1. President Wilson's
acceptance of tho mandate over Ar-
menia created a great Impression
when it was announced today at the
meeting of the council of the league
of nations.
"Poor obi Europe will feel les;l
abandonment" was a remark madi
by a member of the French delegation
whilo discussing tho matter. The
news gave tho assembly great relief
as the Armenian question had become
the bugbear of the assembly.
Thorn Is much speculation os ttf
what form the mediation of Armenia
will take. A. .1. Balfour n leader of
the British delegation remarked to
thn assembly tho other day that in
order to negotiate it would be n-eos-sary
to offer Mustapha Kemal chief
of the Turkish nationalists something
either money or territory and thl
remark Is recalled In connection with
Mr. Wilson's known opposition to the
disposition made of some parts of
tho territory of Turkey by tho Sevir
treaty.
Prediction is made here that in the
end tho Creeks may pay the prlCf
for saving whn remains of the Ar-
menian people.
"President Wilson's action is a big
step toward n solution of one of the
most serious problems before the as-
sembly" was the way Lord Robert
Cecil characterized the American presi-
dent's acceptance.
"This Is wonderful news" ho de-
clared when tho Information was
given him. "It brings relief to all
of us who are trying to find a way
to help tho Armenians out of the dif-
ficulty Mr. Wilson's acceptance- Is
commendable nnd worthy of the best
traditions of tho United States which
have always been a friend of Armenia
and taken tho lead In alleviating her
sufferings.
"Tho decision of President Wilson
Is not in any Benso political from
my point of view and cannot give en-
couragement to nil those who wish
to sen tho United States in tho de
velopment of an old humanitarian
policy."
Dr. FrldtJ of Nansen who had
been one of tho flint- to become In-
terested in Armenia nnd is a member
of tho committee considering devel-
opments In that country wns rather
inclined to posiinlm. When he heard
the news today howovor he beamed
with Joy. "Wo have found the man
the lest will be easy" ho said.
It wns announced this morning that
Spain nnd Brazil had offered to Join
President Wilson in his role of Ar
menian mediator. This offer has been
embodied In the reply to Mr. Wilson
framed by the council.

Edinburgh Dec. 1. Scotland has
at least five dry spots: Kiif.jth San-
quhar KlrkinUlloch Auchterarder nnd
Rutherglen as tho result of the "local

under tho Temperance Act.
Two towns Newport and Lang-
holm Voted for n limitation of the
saloon traffic and tho 37 other Scot-
tish localities voted for "no change."

scribed "O death where is thy
sting?"
In Glasgow 24 wards voted "no
change": nine for limitation and four
for abolition of saloon licenses. As
a result Glasgow's 1604 saloons will
be reduced by 9D and there was much
drinking of health to William E.
(Pussyfoot) Johnson tho American
campaigner with empty glasses turned
down.
"We nro not disheartened" said
Colonel Kyle who led the prohibi-
tionist attack. "It is good work to
have abolished 99 saloon licenses In
Glasgow and when we attack again
It will be different."
The people most perturbed are tho
church lenders. In the light of the
results they are asking If the churches
have the Influence in national life
which they usually claim.
It will bo three years before another
pool can bo taken. Although Glas-
gow where tho battle raged most
fiercely remains wet prohibitionists
derive encouragement from the lnrge
number of Individual ' vo'es in that
city on their side: 142.343 us against
182dKU for "no change" and thu Lon-

"The returns from (ilascow show"

than any American city similar to
Glasgow did after 20 years' calling."
