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.

PASSING THROUGH ACUTE
STAGE. OF CRAVING. .
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.
