FILLS CONGRESS

Will Investigate Conditions in J
Armenia With a View to j
Mandatory
Washington, Aug. 28.—Members)
of Congress arc reading with no lit- I
tie astonishment various cables ;
from Paris which tell that General j
James G. Harbord, Chief of Staff of ;
the American Expeditionary Forces, j
at the head of a strong body of !
American military and naval offi- |
cers, has gone from Paris on a mis- |
don to Armeria and the Trans- j
Caucasian region. General Harbord
is not going on an outing excursion |
but will proceed under instructions
from the President. It is admitted I
that the object of the mission will
be to find out all the information
possible about existing conditions
in the Trans-Caucasus, especially in
Armeria. By personal investigation
he will look into the questions in
volved in the possible taking over i
of Armenia and Trans-Caucasia by j
the United States, it being proposed ;
that the United States act as man- j
datory under the League of Nations, i
It is plain there is a powerful !
movement intended to drive the !
United states into the assumption i
of this great task. Likewise it is

THURSDAY EVENING,
plain that the Administration has
given it encouragement. It is now
generally believed thut once the
League of Nations begins to operate
there will be a definite proposal
that the United States act as man
datory for the region in Question
| and perhaps for all Turkey.
This matter will not be left, how
ever, entirely to the decision of Gen
eva and the President. Congress
will have the final say and if the
tenor of opinion which is now voic
ed at the Capitol with reference to
the General Harbord mission is any
index, it is a safe assumption that
the mandate will be refused. It is
a certainty the President cannot
line up his own party in Congress
for a proposition which would in
volve the maintenance of a large
naval force in near eastern waters
and the establishment and main
tenance of garrisons in numerous
points in osuthwest Asia. How
many troops would be needed to
keep the territory properly admin
istered General Harbord will in
dicate in his report.
Theives Driven Off by
Farmer With Shotgun
New Freedom, Aug. 28—An at
tempt was made on the farm of
Elmer Rehmeyer, near here, to steal
a number of turkeys, but it was
frustrated by the discharge of a
shotgun. The turkeys were roosting
on the apple trees and the thieves
used an electric flashlight. They were
first seen by Mrs. Rehmeyer, who
immediately summoned her hus
band. He got his shotgun and blazed
away, but the thieves kept going.
SAYS CONFESSION
IS NOW NEEDED
German Writer Declares Hon
est Indictment Is
Recommended
Berlin, Aug. 28. —Professor F. W.
Foerster, Bavarian Minister to
Switzerland, recommends an "honest
national self-indictment" for the
Germans Writing in the Tageblatt
on the questions of war guilt and
the conduct of the war, he says:
"We must investigate our own
part in this world brutalizing pro
cess quite as much us we should our
opponents abroad. Not until then
are we able to understand the Paris
decision as the tragic result of our
own national guilt. The ruthless
cruelty with which we were treated
we ourselves practiced in the oc
cupied territory.
"Who ever has the slightest con
ception of the rigorous measures we
adopted in the treatment of pris
oners and the systematic destruction
of industrial plants and the deporta
tion of thousands of young girls will
readily understand the resentment of
the French people.
"We must be perfectly clear in
our own minds in respect of our own
guilt if we are to be born again na
tionally. We must always remember
that, while the whole world is prac
ticing the politics of might, we on
the other hand have systematized the
politics of might and elevated it to
a new political philosophy."

RESENTS INVITATION
Waynesboro, Pa., Aug. 28.—The
Chambersburg Home Welcome com
mittee. it seems, is offering return
ed soldiers $1 and expenses to come
there Labor Day and participate in
the parade. This is regarded by
those in charge of Labor Day cele
bration here, as a species of bribe,
the effect of which in this territory
would be to take our soldiers away
and keep them from joining in the
local demonstration.

High Living Costs
Break in Chicago
Chicago. Aug. 28.—A drop of $1
a hundred pounds on the average
for hogs with lower prices for beef
cattle at the stockyards yesterday
was ascribed to several reasons, in
cluding the general protest against
the high cost of living. Market men
said the tendency was for still lower
hog prices, particularly after the
fall marketing and they professed to
see a break in high living costs.
The public has curta'led its buy
ing of pork and beef recently while
livestock receipts are large. The
eastern market failed to act as an
emergency outlet and the packers
virtually withdrew thctr buyers from
the pens to-day, leaving thousands
of hogs and cattle without buyers.

CAPTURE WOMAN
IN SOLDIER SUIT
Canadians Find Her Among
the Uniformed
Bolsheviki
Kem, Russian Lapland, Aug. 28.
—Among the uniformed Bolsheviki
captured by the Allied troops on the
Murmansk railway front, where
American railway troops operated
for several months, was a woman,
Olga Semenova Petomtzeva, now
serving as a cook for a Canadian
mess, who presented the strange
contrast of an Amazon who cried
over a baby's photograph.
Mrs. Petomtzevu, who is 22 years
old, was taken prisoner by Canad
ian troops at Urosozero, when dress
ed in a Red Guard uniform, trousers
and all, and with the Russian am
munition pouches strung over her
breasts.
She said she had left Petrograd on
April 4, to join her husband, who
was a soldier in a Finnish regiment
fighting the Allies on this front. For
some time she led the life of a sol
dier, with her husband. The latter
escaped at Urosozero.
Mrs. Petometzeva broke down and
cried, say Allied officers, when she
was questioned about a scrapbook
she carried, in which she had pasted
pictures, cut from magazines, of
many babies. She said her own
baby had died and that she had no
photograph of him. and that she
was trying to find in the magazines
a picture that resembled him.
