Wood promptly applied to police head

For the fortieth time IN their history
the Christian inhabitants Of Armenia
have risen in revolt against their Turk
ish oppressors. Probably no territory
in the world of similar size has been
the scene Of so many and such long
continued wars. Thirty-niue times
the Armenians by force Of arms have
won the independence of their coun-
try, only to lose it again. The Arme-
mans are not allowed to bear arms,
being compelled instead to pay tax.
This is only one of the many taxes
levied upon them, the total reaching a
large and almost crushing amount.

500 was rendered in the United States
court in favor of the Pennsylvania Rail-
way Co.. in its suit against the city
