ZEITOUN.

Somewhere ur in the northwestern
mountains OF Turkey, in Armenia, is a
little settlement called Zeitoup. II is SO
inconspicuous that il finds no place in the
atlas, but It will have place on future
maps and in history, for there is to be
witnessed the eliminating atrocity OF
the Armenian "question, TO this date.
1t is suffering a seige that recalls the
horrors of Lucknow, although there can
be no relief FOR the besieged. One more
chapter in the appalling tale OF Turkish
butchery will be written when Zeitoun
falls, and we are likely hear OF its fall at
any hour.
Feebly entrenched in Zeitoun, Is a de-
voted band OF Armenians. They are
armed, they are determined, they are fight
ing for life. Not many months ago they
were peaceful, industrious men, these
desperate Armenians behind the feeble
fortincations OF Zeitoun. Today they
have nothing left to fight for but life and
nothing Of that except to make its sale as
dear as possible to the overwhelming
Turk. They have seen their countrymen
butchered, men, women and children, a
hundred thousand OF them. Their fate
was impending and they seized this town
and its toVihcaticns and prepared to de-
fend their lives and tho lives OF their
women snd their children. For weeks
they have held out, but nothing except
some power 10 stay the rurk can save the
gallant band. Reinforcements are impos-
siblo TO them, but the Turk outside the
walls has, 10 ~ intcnts and purposes,
limitless assistance. Already it may have
transpirod that the hosts OF Islam have
carried tho works nt Zoitoun and every
armenian has been put to the sword.
Europe watches and awaits the bloody
record, but no hand is raised to protest.

That 3 TO 3 Proportion.
Woonsocket Call.

The Providence journal having stated that
the naval strength of the United States. as
compared with that OF Great Britain at the
present time is as is to Z, MIR. Charles IL.
Pierce OF Providence asks The Journal what
the relative strength of the two powers was
in l71G, and in 1872 The Journal doesn' :
answer the question. In 1915 10 was about 100
10 1 against us. and in 1872 it was at least 50
70 in England's favor: yet we whipped her.
The present ratio OF to 3 would quickl-
change in the event Of war. The extemporized
navy we could raise for commerce destroying
would compel England to scatter her war
ships all over the world as conveys for ber
merchantmen, and her present isolation
would require strict watch on Russia,
whom China is to grant n winter harbor on
tho Pacific, against the wishes OF England.
Aud then, none OF the calculations has rs
yet taken into consideration that tho United
states would push the war into the English
channel, right where the British forces wo1id
be veiy much needed. Add TO these things
the troubles In Turkey. in Egypt, Africa and
Canada and 10 can be readily seen that En-
gland could hardly maintain the proposition
OF to 3 in all the places where an active
enemy, M resourceful and determined as the
Yankee with his blood up. could strike her.

the com pany is entirely unclouded by financial
trouble.
The discon tinuance is voluntary. ard IL is
asserted that every dollar will be paid in full.
The closing of this mill will throw about 500
operatives out OF work, and whether they de-
serve the punishment or not. they are un-
auostionably largely responsible for the with
drawal of financial support from the company
and the closing of its mill. olneyvilie has

machinery in Providence valued at Sl4a.7l9.
On this property there was 10 year mortgage
bond of Sl0O. 100 which has been reduced to
500 GOO. The officers at the time of organiza-
ton were as fellows: Arthur Benp, Bradford.

eral manager. These officers were the direc-
tors and sole stockholders Of the company.
The Richmond Print Works property was
leased to the Saxon Worsted Company by
Charles Fletcher, the owner and at the time
f'their removal four-story brick mill was
built especially for them. This mill was
almost entirely equipped with new English
machinery, together with that already owned
by the company. The plant is one Of the
finest in the country, and not likely to remain
idle long. Contrary TO some rumors, Mr.
Fletcher has no interest in the Saxon worsted
Company. and their relations have been en-
tirely amicable.

ward but in our hearts the small selash
spirit OF let-alone. We will go out of ovr
way, IL need be, TO find out what the
trou BILE is about. For the time icing we
will forget that We have SO many troubles
of our own and we will sacrifice ourself

big fellow and the little fellow. We will
try to stop TIE quarrel and IL the big fell
low persists in keeping it up, and we

the big fellow ourselves. We are for
peace, but we shall fight to prevent wrong
being done by the strong upon the weak.
Is not that the spirit OF Christianity,
OF Christmas, OF peace and good will, that
we find so frequently expressed in the
New Testament II not in the Old?
Do you not recall, DIR. RICHARDS,
aud does mote the parable striko you
as pat, the certain man who went down
from Jerusalem TO Jericho and fell
among thieves? II was q priest that
first passed that man by on the other
side. And Levite came and looked on
him and he, too, passed by on the other
side. But certain Samaritan, as he
journeyed, came where he was, and when
he saw him he had compassion on him
and went TO him and bound up his
wounds and set him on his own beast and
brought him to an inn and took care of
him. We will wager that that Samaritan
had troubles enough OF his own-more,
perhaps, than did either the priest or the
Levite. But, judging by the spirit that
characterized his actions, we are OF the
opinion that 1t would have gone hard
with those thieves had that Samaritan
happened along when they were stripping
that certain man OF his raiment and
wounding him. The Samaritan would
have undoubtedly called a halt in the
thievish proceedings, falling to in.
duce which he would have taken the
] part OF that certain man and swatted
those thieves even IL he got hurt n Bit
himself. And that Samaritan will be
held in blessed memory so long as there
Is any humanity on the earth.

NOVELTY IN STRIKES.
AIR. NELSON'S CURIOUS EXPERIENCE
WITH HIS MEN.
They Refuse His Oner TO Turn Over His
Factory to Them at Actual Cost and
without Any Reduction In wages-Pre-
ferred to Remain Employees.

A st. Louis manufactures, Mr.. N. o.
Nelson, has had curious experience in
the attempt TO transfer his factory To his
employees at just what IL cost him and
without reducing their wages. Mr.. Nelson
has for some years followed the custom of
sharing the profits of the business with
the men, making them yearly payments.
Not long ago he decided to sell his factory
TO the mon, instead Of sharing the profits
with them-that Is, instead Of receiving n
certain amount of money each year, over
and above their wages, they were To re-
ceive shares in the ownership Of the bust
ness, which would thus, at the end OK a
few years, bc entirely their own.
Mr.. Nelson says that, as far as no
knows, this Is the first instance of such an
offer being made by MANUFACTURER to his
workmen. Possibly the unfamiliar idea
repelled them, but for this or some other
reason they refused TO accept 1t and actu-
ally struck, demanding that IL anything
was to be given them IL should be money.
AS Mr.. Nelson was wholly disinterested
in the matter no took them back on the
old terms, saying that 1t was for them TO
decide.
The offer on the part of tho employer
was 80 unusual, and the attitude of the
men so curious, that it Is perhaps hardly
possible to draw any definite conclusions
from it, hut 1t suggests Discrimination on
the part of the workmen to assume any
responsibility involving possible loss,
while they were perfectly willing TO accept
a share of the profits, SO long as some one
else carried the financial responsibility
and supplied the necessary head work. IL
there Is anything In this suggestion, it
ought TO furnish food for thought to those
people who believe in the equal division
of all profits. 1t even points TO possible
weakening Of the element of Independence
i'm men by the policy Of profit sharing, al
though moro than one such instance would
be necessary to establish such a theory.
At all events, it shows that in this partic-
ular case the men were better content with
the position of employees than they would
have been with that Of proprietors.
