An Open Forum for
Public Debate

States The chairman Of this good band
OF patriots is reported in the press as say
ing: "Our function is 70 determine the
anti-Tammany sentiment and then make
our choice OF candidates. and We may have
a ticket in the field even though there shan
be three tickets" Not 10 mention the
self-assurance OF this. is there any poliu'
cal sagacity in il? DO they want to re-
peat the Tracy-Low-Van Wyck folly
The probability is that every member o.
these RraCe-saying saints was recreant u
his initial political duties in not gong 70

THE DEBT TO ARMENIA
What It Is and How 1t Should Be
Paid.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir Now that the Eastern question is
again up for settlement many OF Us are
earnestly hoping that something effectual
may at last be done for the protection OF
tho Armenians. Europe and civilization
owe them debt which mas gone too long
unpaid.
Geographically Armenia is the bridge
between Europe and Asia. In the early
centuries the Armenians acted tho part
Of Horatius and kept the bridge" de-
Tending the gats OF Europe against the
unciVlized hCrdcs Of Asia-ilrst against
the Persian fire worshippers. whose adj
vance toward Europe the Armenians
checked at the battle OF Avarair in \. ID.
45l and later against successive invasions
OF the Mahometaus. Afterward the Ar
menians acted as guides to the Crusaders
in Asia and supplied them with food when
they were about TO raise the siege OF An
tioch for lack Of provisions. Professor
Minas Tcheraz has just brought out In
Paris n French translation of extracts
from some of the most distinguished Ar
menian poets The little volume contains
one poem that has especial interest ut
this critical time. II was written by RAJ
phael Patkanan. who has been more than
twenty years in his grave, but II might as
well have been written to-day. II is a
Complaint to Europe" and may be thus
rendered, in part:
Six centuries. drop by drop. the tyrant
The last remaining life blood from our
veins,
Yet Europe says. mo strength. no power
have they"
And turns from us her scornful face away.
Have you forgotten. Europe. how the
dart
or the fierce Persian pointed at your
heart,
Until, on that dread field OF Avarair.
Armenian blood quenched his fanatic fire?
Have you forgot the fell and crushing
blow
Prepared for you by Islam long ago?
We would not see your dcsolatOn then,
Burning of cities, massacre OF men.
Two hundred years Armenia, bathed in
blood
Withstood the great invasion's mighty
Europe was safe. our living wall behind,
Until the enemy's huge strength declined.
Have you forgotten, Europe. how of yore
Your heroes In the desert hungered sore2
What then could strength or force of
arms avail
Had we not fed your hosts. with famine
pale?
Ungrateful Europe. heed our woes. We
pray.
Remember poor Armenia to-day!
We owe more recent debt to the Ar
menians for the heroic example that they
set OF fidelity to the Christian faith dur
Ing the great massacres and for the in
dustry. courage and kindness that many
Of them have shown since then as exiles

THE REDS OF THE MIDI
It Was Translated by Mrs. Janvier
Not by Her Husband.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. Permit me 20 offer a correction
RELATIVE to your appreciativc editorial on
the life. work and death OF Thomas \.
Janvier. The Reds OF the MIDI was
translated by Catharine Janyier and not
by her deceased husband. Mr. Janvier
wrote an excellent introduction TO the
mentioned masterpiece Of Felix Gras. l
