BANDITS HOLD UP "ALTON
HUMMER" NEAR SPRINGFIELD
Engineer Is Forced to Cut Off Ex-

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 26.-The "Al-
ton Hummer" the Chicago & Alton

Protection for Armenians.

In a news letter from Jerusalem,
printed In The Living Church (Mil-
waukee), information is given of addi-
tional massacres of Armenians in Kur-
distan last summer which have hardly
been reported in this country. In this
connection The Living Church says
editorially: "One feels that in the
final settlement of questions between
the Turk and Christendom, this matter
of protection to Armenians ought to be
included. True, the Balkan states
themselves can hardly claim to extend
their protectorate over these perse-
cuted Asiatic Christians They have
no common bonds of race or even OF
communion with Armenians as they
have between themselves and Mace
domains and Albarians. Here is one
belated thing that the powers can yet
do, before tn Turk receives his clean
bill of health. They are bound by
their treaties to guarantee safety to
Armenians, and these afflicted people
have no cousins who can arise and do
for them what the Balkan states have
done for Christians in European
turkey"

London, Dec 27.-According to a
dispatch from Constantinople, all the
Turkish officers on leave from the
Tchatalja lines have been ordered to
return to their regiments within twen-
ty-four hours.
The dispatch indicates that Turkey
evidently believes there is POSSIBLE
ity that hostilit.es will be resumed.
Lacking official confirmation, the dis
patch is accepted with considerable
skepticism, as the proceedings of the
peace conference, although moving
slowly, tend rather to a peaceful solu-
ton of the matter.
Constantinople, Dec. 27.-Turkey
has sent its delegate to the peace con-
ference in London, counter peace pro-
posals. The proposals were arranged
at a council of ministers, which lasted

but it may be stated that hopeful
view of the situation is entertained.
