The World N GENERAL
TURKEY INVITES WAR.


| Refuses to Adopt Proposed Reforms In
! Behalf of the Armenians,
CoNsTANTINopLE, June THE Turk
ish government has asked permission
to delay making reply to the pro-
| posals Of the powers looking toreforms
in the administration of Armenia until
after the Bairam festival, which com
of the powers have declined to grant
the request of the porte and insist
upon having an immediate answer.
CoNsTANTrNoPLE, June 6.-The reply
of the Turkish government to the
| notes of the representatives of Great
Britain, France and Russia in regard
to the proposed reforms in Armenia
has been delivered to the ENJOYS. The
portess answer is not satisfactory. The
Turkish government does not agree to
the principle of the control of the
proposed reforms by the powers. After
receiving the reply the ENJOYS of the
three powers held meeting, at which
they decided to refer the whole matter
to their respective governments. The
position is serious, as last week the
British embassy informed the porte
that Great Britain had resolved not to
accept any modification of the PROPOSE
tions affecting reforms in Armenia,
and the representatives of the other
powers have made the same declaration
to the porte. The reply of the Turkish
government causes surprise, and it is
thought that such an answer would
not have been given without encour
agement from some European power
But the presence of the British
Mediterranean squadron, consisting of
seventeen ships at Beyrout, points to
an agreement between Great Britain,
France and Russia to force Turkey to
comply with the demands of the
powers Consequently, interesting
news may shortly be flashed from
Beyrout, Syria, where it is believed
the British fleet will be called upon to
support the demands of the three
powers.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, June There are
signs of improvement in the Armenian
controversy, and there is now hope
that the sultan will accept the inev
liable as gracefully as possible.

CarInine Bodily Juices.
The coehincal insect Is fat, dark
spherical little creature, looking like a
black currant. and with neither head
legs nor tail to the casual observer. In
TACT, he is so inanisnate that anyone
may squash him between finger and
thumb without any qualms of con-
science. He is nothing but a black cur
rant, sure enough, though the bright
carmine or lake exusion from his body,
which serves him for blood and us for
dye, is a better color than the juice OF
the currant. 1t was the cultivation OF
these pleasant little individuals which
more than a score of years ago, put nc
less than 40 per cent per annum upon
investments into the pockets of the cul-
tivators. Such prosperity was too good
to last. The insect was not introduced
into Teneriffe until 1925, and for a time
1t could not be encouraged to propa-
gate successfully. A priest had the
honor of being the discoverer of the
right method of nurture, and to him
it is due that from 1916 to 1865 an an
nual crop of from two to six million
pounds of cochineal was produced. A
cochineal plantation has singular
aspect. The larvae, being very deli
cate and rather thick-witted have to
be tied upon the cactus plant, which IS
to be their nursery and their nourish-
ment at the same time. Thus one sees

daged with white linen. In this way
the insects keep warm and dry during
the winter and induced to adhere to
the plant itself When they are full
grown they are ruthlessly swept from
their prickly quarters, shaken or baked
to death or dried in the sun. The
shriyeled corpses are then packed in
bags and sold as ripe merchandise at
about SIS a hundredweight.

TO SUSPEND SILVER COINAGE.
Treasury Department. Will Mint No
Dollars During June.


Treasury Department will Mint No
Dollars During June
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The coinage
of standard dollars will be suspended
by the treasury department during the
month of June. The question whether
the suspension will be permanent is
not detnitelyanswered by the treasury
officials. The reason for suspension
at the present time is the fact that
account of stock is taken at the mints
during June and the accounts are
balanced for the beginning of the new
fiscal year. There has been a recent
balancing of accounts at the Phil
adelphia mint, SO that coinage will
not be suspended there SO completely as
at San Francisco and New Orleans, but
the coinage of standard silver dollars
has been carried on chiefly at the
latter minis and will be brought to an
end during the balancing of their
accounts. 1t is not unlikely that the
suspension will continue beyond July
l, unless Secretary Carlisle believes
that there is some necessity for ad.
ditional coinage or there seems to be a
public demand for it, The coinage Of
standard silver dollars during May
was $50, $50, upon which the seign.
forage is about $4,000. The total
coinage of silver dollars under the
Sherman law has now reached $40.
OBJ ,954 and the seigniorage has been
about Ss,24o,ooo, of which S6,977 ,o9s
was earned before the repeal of the
law Nov. 1893.

FEELING is BITTER.

Germany Greatly Displeased at Frances
Attitude.
BERLIN, June 6.--The debate in the
French senate on the question of the
presence of France in formal and
official capacity at the ceremonies at
kiel upon the occasion of the opening
of the Baltic North Sea canal has pro-
duced a thoroughly bad impression in
official circles at Berlin. Although the
speech of NJ. Hanotaux, minister of
foreign affairs, is admitted to have
been a fine display of delicate
diplomatic tact, the feeling generally
is very bitter, and upon all sides it is
France to find some excuse for the
absence of her vessels and representa-
tives from what will be essentially
German celebration. The anti French
feeling is further embittered by reports
that communications have passed be-
tween NJ Hanotaux and the govern
ment of st. Petersburg, tho former
suggesting that the French and Rus
sian war-ships remain at Kiel only
twenty-four hours, taking their de-
parture from that place together and
going to Copenhagen. The Cologne
Gazette, commenting upon the situa-
ton, says II would by no means have
raised an international question if
France, from the first, had declined
the invitation of Germany to take part
in the inaugural exercises, nor would
it disturb Germany, the. Gazette says,
if France should now recede.

MAKE IOWA RICH.
BY Building Up tho Clties Within Her
finra.

:
Elsewhere in this issue is an article
on Iowa products at the state fair. A
question now much discussed in the
Iowa press is this: Shall Iowa grow
rich and build up cities within her own
borders, or send her money away to
build sea-board cities? Over 81, 500, 900
are yearly carried from Iowa for fire
insurance alone, to the vaults of
eastern syndicates We want to
impress on our readers the vast benefit
that would flow to every citizen by
keeping these millions in Iowa and
putting them into factories, new
industries, trade and commerce. 1t
would give labor to the unemployed,
increase the public revenue and add to
municipal, county and state taxes.
These millions with their accumula-
tions year by year passing into the
channels OF business and home
industries would give to our people
thrift and prosperity, and soliditv and
strength to our proud commonwealth.
Every farmer ana business man in
Iowa should see the Importance of
this, and if he has property to insure
ask for some one of the good home fire
insurance companies. The stock com
panies are all good. The law makes
them solid and safe and the state
auditor has personal supervision over
them and keeps a close scrutiny of
their reserve and securities. Give the
home companies the preference and
thus help your neighbor and also help
yourself. These home fire insurance
companies are doing much for u.s.
They employ q large force. 1t is
estimated that the number of people
receiving support from them in Iowa
exceeds 10000. In addition to salaries
and losses. they pay vast sums for.
rents, taxes, printing, stationery and
other necessary expenses. all OF which
goes among our own people, and which
would be greatly increased if their
business was increased by turning to
them the money which is thoughtlessly
sent out of the state by insuling with
non-lowa companies. This paper
hopes to see the day when every dollar
of the millions now leaving the state
for insurance will be placed with Iowa
companies. This line of practice
carried into all avenues OF business
would rapidly enrich and bless our
state would procure present and con
tinued prosperity to Iowa people.

ting ready to lay golden eggs for labor,
To strike now may not kill the goose,
but it might easily frighten her from
her benign purpose. With wages rising
on all sides, trade reviving and the
wheels of industry humning again, it
is Inevitable that wages will advance
in all lines where they are now too low.

will attend to that. with lit5se quiet
