HOMES FOR ARMENIASS
Miss Willard Says These Were Prom
tsed in This Country.


ised in This Country.
London, Oct. 22.-MIsS- Frances VIII
lard has issued Il statement regarding tie
Armenian refugees who have been sent
by Lady Henry Somerset from MarsciliCs
to New York, some of whom have been
refused adm ssion to the United states by
the immigration authorities.
Miss Willard says that she and Lady
Henry Somerset carefully studied the I'M
migration laws of the United States and
saw that they had been made for the pur-
pose Of protecting the American working
men from an influx Of cheap European
workingmen imported under contract by
American corporations. 1t seemed That
the law would be complied with If 1t were
clear that the refugees were not sent under
contract and If the United States were Sc
cured against their becoming public
charge.
In response to cable dispatch sent to
the United States Treasury Department
Miss Willard was informed that IL was not
necessary that the refugees have specific
sum of money as prerequisite To their
admission To this country, and that Sc
Curity against enigrants becoming public
charges was accepted in special cases
Miss willard. therefore. cabled to MEM
bers of the Christian Temperance Union,
living adjacent to New York. asking them
to provide homes for from twenty-five to
thirty Armenians until they found work.
She received replies promising ulaces for
100. She was assured aid in che finding
of homes for the rem aindcr of the refugees
in NJ arseilIes, who desired to go TO America,
by the National Armenian committee oi
New York, and the Salvation Army. She
therefore believed that the Armenians were
| sure OF n safe landing They specially
sought to be sent to America, saying that
the missionaries had always told them that
it was the Lords home for the oppressed.
Miss Willard concludes by saying thai
| she cannot find words To Z XpreSs the anxiety
| she feels lest the refugees be not admitted
| to her dear native land.

No War Feeling IN Venezuela.

New York, Jan. 19.-C. Marxen-
Erase. who arrived in New York
Saturday by the steamer Philadel>
phia, from enezuela, where he
represents the large commercial in
terests of Flint, Eddy " Company,
was interviewed to>day.
Mr.. Marxen- Erase stated that the
reports published in the newspapers
here as to the war-like spirit and cx-
citement in Venezuela were grossly
exaggerated.
He has been travelling for the past
two months over a large portion OF
Venezuela and he was impressed
everywhere with the absence of any
thing like bravado and the feeling
prevailing among Venezuelans that
the pending questions would ulti-
matcly be settled without war.
Nobody in Venezuela seems to
believe in war, and there are no in
clination on the part tof the authori.
ties or on the part of the people tc
precipitate an issue, The country
is prosperous aAd business is pro-
crossing in its usual channels with,
out any disturbance.
The people of Venezuela are en'
tirely satisfied with the prospects oi
arbitration, and both in official an6
unofficial circles there is a determi.
nation to abide by it, whether con-
trary or favorable to Venezuela, but
they are at the same time determined
that they shall not be despoiled by
force without a hearing. Mr.. Marx
enEraso, in conclusion, said tha
nothing but positive aggression OF
the part of England could bring
about war.

New School Plan.

The department of public instruc-
ton in conjunction with the State
association OF school directors, orr
ganized in Harrisburg during the
last week, is formulating important
schools legislation for consideration
by the next Legislature. The most
interesting measure is a bill provid>
inc for the Abandonment of the
country school houses and the cen-
tralization of the schools into two or
or three buildings in each township.
The plan is to have school houses
erected in central localities, and is
already being tried with success in
several townships in the State.
These buildings are to have various
school rooms. The schools will be
graded from primary to grammar,
as is done in cities and boroughs.
Pupils who live at distance from
these central schools will be hauled
to and from the schools in the most
available conveyances, at the ex>
pense of the proper district. The
plan has been tried in Chester coun-
ty Of hauling the pupiles in q large
and comfortable omnibus. owned by
the district and driven by an en-
ploye of the board at salary Of
$40 month. 1t is claimed that the
scheme has been a financial saving,
and has also resulted in the exist
ence or better school buildings and
schools provided with the best appa>
ratus, while the system OF grading
the schools gives additional advan-
tages.

fciencies in various soils, and ex-
planned how to save considerable
money by purchasing the principal
elements in commercial fertilizers
and mixing them on the farm. The
question of stock was also treated by
the speaker. He told what kinds OF
cattle were most profitable for beef
for milk, and for butter.
A question box brought out many
questions of practical interest to
farmers. One that brought out con.
siderable discussion was the use OF
