ThenI licked him when he came home, then his father licked him when he came home, then I had to lick him again for his father on him, then his fath- er licked him for sassing me. So you need not lick him this time. HONOR SERVICE M: Raymond C, Gillespie was ap- week, by county Treasurer, Oven D.

San Remo.—The supreme council de-| elded to ask President Wilson to arbi-| trate the boundaries of the new repub- le of Armenia. The council! awarded @ mandate for Mesopotamia and Pales- | tine to Great Britaln and # mandate for Syria to France. The supreme council also has sent! a furmal request to President Wilson | that the United States government take the mandate for Armenia. There seems to be division on the part of the council as to whether the region of Erzerum and its vicinity | should be included in the territory of the Armenian republic. The Turkish nationalists are strongly claiming Erzerum for themselves. In placing Palestine under a Brit- ish mandate the council established | ‘within the ancient limits of the Holy Land what is called, “the national | home of the Jews.” PTT UDO The terms of the mandate protect the national rights of Jewish citizens of other countries. That is to say, 4 | Jew of American, British, French or | other nationality may retain his na tionality, although he is also a citizen of the state of Palestine. The rights of Arabs also are protected, there be ing 600,000 in Palestine and 100,000 Jews.
