W V SI ARMENIA MANDATORY QUESTION UP firiadter-General Hrrbord and Party of 40 to Make Trip on Cruiser as Far as Batum. BY LT.VCOLN EYRE. (Copyright by th- New York World. Pub lished by arrangement.) PAX:iS. Aug. 11. (Special Cable.) The greatest pressure is now being brought to bear upon the United States to tale over the mandatory for Ar menia, and our mission will be to in quire into, the situation there," said Briiraditr-Goneral James G. Harbord, who was General Pershing's chief of Ejaff. and who will head an American 7nisHion which -will leave Paris tomor row. "We will expect to return to r&ris early in October and to bring w ith us a detailed report as a guide toward a final decision by President "V i"son and congress. "While our main object -will be to study the Armenian situation, we hope the presence there of an American mis sion will have the effect of preventing attacks upon the Armenians by hostile elements. With General Harbord will go Brigadier-General F. McCoy, who was di rector of the American expeditionary force transportation service following the armistice, and who will investigate the conditions of harbors, roads and agriculture and also the feasibility of raising an Armenian policing force. C ruller to Be I sed. About 40 persons will compose the fr-ission. The route will be by sea from Brest on an American naval cruiser to Constantinople, thence by the Black ca to, Batum. President Wilson decided upon the mission to Armenia before he left Paris. Speaking of the possibilities today. General Harbord' said that, if the tnited States should take over the mandatory, American troops must be sent there. It will be the task of the mi ion to estimate the size of the force that will be required. General Harbord had a long talk with Assietant Secretary of State Frank Polk, who gave him the final instruc tions that had been received from Pres ident Wilson. It is supposed that the entire matter of American policy in Armenia will de pnd on the report of the mission, whose work ia thus considered of great importance. F rance and England, with national interests in the near east, will aLso a'wait with keen interest the re port of the mission. Armenians Offer Aid. Since it became known that the mis eion would go to Armenia, General Har bord has received numerous offers from nationals of Armenia, all desirous of placing all the information they pos seas at the service of the investiga tors. A staff of army and navy experts have been chosen to accompany Gn eral Harbord. The party will include Brigadier-Generals G. an Horn and .Mo.sely and various officers of rank and civilians. It is hoped that the mission will reach Armenia in time to prevent further mas sacres of the people, and to check the war into which the Turks, Persians, Tartars and Georgians are drifting. Missionary and social service workers in Constantinople and in Armenia who were influential in persuading the A merican government to appoint and dispatch a mission are expected to be very useful in facilitating the progress f the investigation.

Health Officer Recommends Com mittal to Asylum if Cure Is "ot Effected on Farm. Twenty-nine drup addicts last night occupied quarters in the city jail, eome at their own retuest and others upon order of City Health Officer Parriah, where they will be held incommunicado until they have been cured of the habit. Dr. Parrish estimated that all should be through the acute stage of craving within a period of two weeks, after which he suggested they be trans ferred to the county farm, where they may become self-supporting and kept there under guard for periods of from six to ten weeks. Attorneys and 'friends will not be permitted to visit the drug addicts at the jail. No food may be sent to them and all clothing reaching the jail will be thoroughly boiled before delivery to patients. If, after being discharged from the county farm as cured, the patients return to their old habits, Dr. Parrish recommends committing them to the asylum at Salem for a period of one year. Dr. Parrish has obtained the names of four Portland physicians who are said to have supplied some of the drug users. The jail capacity is estimated at from 70 to 75, and Dr. Parrish, who received three new reports late yes terday, looked for other quarters. Dr. Parrish said most of the pattents contracted the habit through associa tion with friends. By keeping the patients away from the outside world, Dr. Parrish feels that the 6esire for drug can be broken completely. Sacajawea, Mrs. Jane Burns Albert; Columbia.
