only wished for the protection Of their
i lives and property. President Low was
satisfied that the Armenians We're not
getting justice from the Turks. and ad-
Vised such action as the Armenians
saw fit. The bishop informed him OF
the massacres Of the Armenians in
their own country by the fanatical
Kurds, the soldiers Of the sultan. The
difference in religion is the main cause
OF me massaCres.
Fhe Armenians expect a good deal
Of opposition from the Turkish govern
ment whose spies are now watching
every move Of the Armenians in this
country. For that reason the Arme-
mans desire to keep everything as quiet
as possible and not put the Turks in
a position to do their countrymen any
injury.
The Armenians' claim for protection
has been recognized by two peace con
ferences Of the past years. At the Ber-
lin peace conference, article s. was
granted them, which was supposed to
afford them protection to their lives
and property. The massacres which
shocked the world few years ago did
not make the protection granted them
by the peace conference appear to
amount to much. The Armenians are
DESTROYS TO try every means in their
power to restrict the power Of the sui
tan and have their nation placed on
much the same footing as Greece.

In the case of admirals and vice ad-

WHAT LITTLE FOLKS CAN DO
The Pansy Club to Have Another Fair for
Benefit of Poor Children.

At least d score or two Of worthy poor
children are going to enjoy d summer
holiday in the country this summer, if
the good people Of the city will but
listen to the appeal of the Pansy Club
and attend their annual fair, which is
TO be held at the residence Of DR.. and
Mrs. George Z. Adams, on Thursday
afternoon and evening.
Although this club is but in its sec
Ond year its annual fair has come TO
be looked upon as a charitable insti-
tuition and an object worthy of receiY-
ing generous encouragement. The
idea started with little Miriam Adams,
and last year there were but four
members Of the club-MiTiam Adams,
Gertrude Taylor, Cenia and Amy Smith.
Their first fair was held at the Adams
residence last April and the proceeds
were more than 800 and this money
was placed with DR.. Eldridge Mix for
use in sending poor children into the
country
The members Of the club We're made
happy in the thought that through their
efforts 80 children were enabled to run
and romD in the green fields. and thus
regain in many cases their health and
strength. This year eight new mem
bers have been admitted to the club
Helen Bradley. Susie Orr. Frances
Wood. Aline Gates, Dorothy Turple,
Beatrice Dunton, Bertha DuntOn and
Nary Allen. The annual fair is to be
held at the residence Of Dr. and Mrs.
Adams 9I4 Main street. on Thursday.
and already $50 worth of tickets have
been sold.
The little folks are to have on sale
all kinds of fancy articles. every va
riety Of doll. homemade cake and
candy, a grab-bag and ice cream and
cake. They feel certain that they will
be able to realize largely increased
sum this year, when the public knows
that the entire proceeds are for the
fresh air work under the care of the
Worcester City Missionary Society.
and that the finds are to be used IN
der the direction Of DR.. Mix. They
would feel grateful if those who have
articles suitable to place on sale would
send them to DR.. Adams previous to
the day of the fair.
