the assembly the other day that in

of the Turkish Nationalists, some
thing, either money or territory, and
this remark recalled In connection
with Mr. Wllson'l known opposition
to the disposition made of some parts
of the territory by Turkey by the

"President Wilson's action is a big
step toward a solution of one of the
most serious problems before the as
sembly." was the way Lord Robert
Cecil characterised the American pres
ident's acceptance.
"That Is wonderful news." he de
clared when the Information was giv
en him. "It brlntpi relief to all of us
who are trying to find a way to help
the Armenians out of the difficulty.
Mr Wilson's acceptance Is commend
able and worthy of ihe best tradi
tions of the l'nlted States, which h.-ve
always been a friend of Armenia and
taken the lead In alleviating hor suf
fering. The decision of Preu)ent Wilson
Is not In any sense political from my
viewpoint and cannot lend encourage
ment to oil those who wish to see the
l'nlted SUites In the league. It is sUn
t.iv a natural development of an old.
humanitarian policy."

Dr Frldtjof Nansen, who had been
one of the flr.t to be. i.jnc interested
In Armenia, and a member of the
commlMee considering developments
In that country, was mther Inclined
to pessimism yesterday. When he
heard the news today, however, he
beamed with Joy.
"We have found th" man." he cried,
and the rest will be easy."
It was announced this afternoon
that Spain and Brazil had, offered to
Join President Wilson In his role of
Armenian mediator. This offer has
been embodied In the reply to Mr
Wllon f rnitied by the council.
The reply to the American presi
dent. It eras stated, expresses deep ap
preciation of the president's accept
ance The allied high commissioners
at Consta:ilnople. it says, are being
consulted rS to the best way for Mr
Wilson to proceed

The council! It Is added, believes
there will be no great difficulty about
the president's mediators conferring
with Mustapha Kernel Pasha, the
Turkish Nationalist leader, who ha
been making war upon the Arme
nians. The offer of Spain and Brarll to
Join In the mediation came during thir.
morning's session of the council. That
body left it to President Wilson to de
cide if he desired this cooperation.
