LONDON, July 13.-In an editorial on the
political outlook in the United States the
Times says:
MI Sewall seems to have been nomi-
mated for Vice President in order to give
an air OF some responsibility to the demo-
cratic party"
Discussing further Mr.. Bryan's chances
Tor the presidency. the Times saws: eft
seems certain that he must be reckoned
with. and he may go further than his op-
ponents profess to believe possible"
The same paper expresses the fear that
the putting up of another democratic can
didate would only prove the numerical
weakness Of the sound-money democrats.

mains to be seen whether should the cleo

The comment Of the Chronicle upon poll
tics in the United States is as follows:
MI. Bryan's character is as high, his in
tellect Is keen and to many western farm
ers he is political idol dearer. perhaps,
than any man since Lincoln. Given the
uisas,rous SILVER policy, 1t must be admit
ted that MI Bryan is the most acceptable
representative Of 1t. Without sharing Mr.
Smalley's pessimst notions, 1t cannot be
denied that the newspapers of the eastern
states have always made an utterly absurd
diagnosis OF the vast silver movement NJ
lola once predicted that a great class war
would break out. not in Europe, but in a
new country. Is this portentous event real

The fifteenth interr ational Christian En-
deavor convention, that began in this city
last Thursday morning, closes today after
one of the most enthusiastic and success
full gatherings ever known in the history
of the organization. This last day has
been marked by a climax in the spiritual
feeling that has pervaded the city through
out the time of the convention The meet
ings in the tents this morning were attend
ed by enormous crowds. while all the other
features of the program conducted during
the early hours of the day showed that the
Endeavorers have profited well by their
journey to Washington. and that Washing
ton has shared with them the profit of their
coming.
This was international day with the En-
deavorers. The tent meetings bore upon
the worldwide significance Of the great
movement. In Tent Washington one of the
largest audiences Of the convention gath
cred to hear the story of suffering Arme-
MIA, and at the close of the meeting there
was tumultuous scene Of excitement when

The meeting in behalf of the suffering

Ing drew a great crowd, that began to
gather long before o'clock Notwith-
standing the heat, the people streamed into
the tent by hundreds, and waited patiently
the opening Of the exercises at half-past
o'clock. Shortly before that time Direc-
tor Bilhorn called on the audience to sing

the Light Throw Out the Life Line" In
the last hymn Mr.. Bilhorn got the minis

the verses alcne. Before the musical part
OF the program was concluded. Mr. Baer
told Mr.. Bilhorn that several requests had

Secretary Baer then announced that the
various state delegations were all requested
to have representatives attend the conse-
Grafton meetings in the tents and churches
tonight, in order to respond to the regular
roll call. He then made a break into the
stated program by saying: This has un-
questionably been as well If not the best

the efforts of the most efficient local COM

thorough enjoyment of the attractions of
the capital and it's beautiful surroundings.
So 1t is that the Christian Endeavor badge
will disappear slowly from the streets of
Washington. The great army came sud-
denly, but quietly. These soldiers, who are
hghting for purer and more Christian
life in this moving time at the end of the
century. descended upon the city without
bands or trumpets and their coming was
hardly realized until the streets were filled
with them, and the air resounded with
their songs. They will go as quietly, and
IN week hence all traces Of the great
convention just closing will be practically
obliterated to the outward eye; but 1t is
safe to say that these thousands of young
men and women who wear the simple mon
ogram &C. E." upon their breasts have
wrought great work for better living and
for good citizenship in th.o city Of the ma
ton, and the effect of their coming will be
good and lasting.

tween the Black sea and the great Meso-
potamian plain. Their empire has at diff
ferent epochs extended from the Caspian
to the shores of the Mediterranean Their
history dates back 1000 years. They are
mentioned lii Genesis, Chronicles Ezekiel
and jeremiah. the Cuneiform rock in
scriptions Of Assyria and Babylon, in the
records OF Herodotus and Xenophon.
The Armenfans.
The Armenians have their own language
and are distinct people, belonging to the
pest type Of the Caucasian race. Their
character is the resultant of three in
fuences. of which the first is their physical
environment. The air of the table lands,
which range from 1900 to 1000 feet above
the sea, is cool, dry and bracing. The soil
is not overproductive, and demands the
added toll of irrigation. There Is thus no
opportunity for luxury or idleness The
result Is race physically superior. of ac-
tive and sound body. What Webster said
OF the granite state Is true of Armenia.
1T Is place to raise men,"
The second influence is Industrial compe-
titfon and excessive taxation which has
developed in the Armenian the keen and
active mind They have been oppressed for
centuries by their Moslem invaders, as the
Jews have been oppressed by Christian ma
tions. This has driven them into every art
and trade, as well as into agriculture and
commerce. and In every field they have
excelled.
ihe third influence Is that of the Chris
tan religion. and this has developed their
spiritual natures. The Armenlans have a
distinction which will always be theirs, of
being the first to embrace Christianity of
the race. Their king Dertad was baptized
thirty-seven years before the Emperor Con-
stantine issued even the edict of Federation
of Christianity in 313 A. d. The Armenians
are deeply religious people, as their
whole history and literature shows. 1t has
not been a religion of the head, but of the
heart Its evidence Is not to be found in
metaphysical discussion and hair-splitting
theology, as in the case of the Greeks, but
Iii a brave and simple record, written with
the tears of the saints and the blood of
martyrs.
This Is the race, superior in body, mind
and spirit. that after having proved its
fitness to survive by every test of history
and science is threatened with extinction
In our day. From a nation of perhaps T.
OOO,OOO 1t has beeA, reduced to 100000 Of
which only about 2, 5000 remain under the

Turkish Misdule.
This remnant is having the life crushed
out by a system of taxation and misrule
that makes it almost impossible to earn
anything, and that seizes not less than 20
per cent of what is earned. Add to this
the continual plundering by Kurds and
Turkish officials, the frequent blackmail.
