Such is Opinion of Anonymous
Expert in Columns of the
Chicago Tribune

n 81
The Chicago Tribune recently pub.
lished the following: 4s. ~. 70. t-.:..z.,
| s. WASHINGTON, d. C.-In view, Of
the threatening aspect of the dispute
with Germany The Tribune. has OBJ.
tanned the following statement of our
military preparedness from an expert
whose name cannot be revealed.
The first line Of the navy could be
put in fighting shape in from three to
four months by concentrating upon it
enormous energy: The crews could
be filed up among recently retired
sailors and by drafting men from the
vessels Of secondary importance. The
state of discipline in the, navy, never
as high as the best European navies
has considerably deteriorated under
the influence Of Secretary Daniels, and
would need fully this time to bring y
up to- battle condition.
Target Practise Below Par.
The target practise is also fac be,
low tho efficiency Of the English and
Germans before the start Of war, and
its efficiency has been decreasing
while that CT the English and GcrMa rs
has been bettered during the month"
or tension.
To man the rest Of the ships Or tn
navy and to drill the crews and to rv:
them in battle condition would tax:
It least one, more likely two years
and then the LACK of scout boats. edo

Brighter Prospects at
The Oil Well Reported

Several car loads of people from
this city visited the oil well last
Sunday and bring back encour-
aging news of the work on this
important enterprise. The writ
er was shown a sample from the
we'll but not having had any eX-
perience it did not bring forth
any expert comment. The sam
pie was oily alright but lacked
odor of petroleum. This, how
ever, he is told is no detraction
as crude oil has no odor.
Those engaged in the work arc
encouraged and confident they
will find the real article within
a reasonable depth. Such faith
and perseverance deserves re-
ward and the prospects justify a
continuation of the work to a
definite conclusion and The Timef-
Herald hopes the undertaking
will prove successful.

High School Com
mencement Program.

The commencement exercises
of the Harvey County High
School were held at Tonawama
last evening and the house was
crowded to capacity. All the
available seats were filled long
before the program started and
many who desired to attend were
prevented as they could not gain
admittance to the house.
Each of the graduates were on
the program but it was "A short
one. Fred Smyth rendered a
vocal solo; Dorman Leonard de-
livered the valedictory The
Sacrifices Made by Parents to
Give Their Children an Educa-
ton" This was an excellent
paper and showed considerable
thought in preparation; Misses
Ethel Brown and Lois Sweek
played a piano duet; Owen Cawl-
field rendered a vocal solo. In
addition to the above the school
furnished two chorus selections.
Rev. DR.. Benson delivered the
address to the class which was
pronounced a fine one. Princi-
pal Shirk presented the diplomas
with a few appropriate remarks.

TORTURE PHILADELPHIAN'S KIN
Parents, Brothers and Sister Put to
Death With Horrible
Cruelty

Armenian massacres by the Turks are
brought vividly home to Philadelphians
today by letter received from Professor
Urchain, in Tifis, Transcaucasia, by r.
Hashishian, a tailor of 612S Media street.
Hashishians parents, two brothers and a
sister, according to the professor, were
put to death by terrible tortures.
The tailor became worried over his peo-
pie some weeks ago, following the report
of Armenian massacres, and wrote to them
at his old home. His letter arrived after
they had been slain, and fell into the
hands of Professor Hashishian, who wrote
in reply as follows:
"They were first tortured with vises,
which destroyed their fingers; then
clamps containing teeth were clapped
around their arms. puncturing their
arteries. They were then thrown into the
streets, where they died from loss of
blood"
Regarding other Turkish atrocities the
Professor said:
"At Celiga all the Armenian women and
children are being chased out, many drag
ging their way to Palestine The streets
are Uttered with the bodies of those too
weak to flee, while many die of starva-
tion. Only those who accept the Moham-
medan religion are spared.
AT Yentisia, children are being torn
from their mothers arms, while the
mothers are sent to exile and the chill
dren drowned. At Diriranguard 1000 Ar
menian women and children were massa-
cred"

PENROSE FOR PRESIDENT
Wayne County Candidate for Dele
gate to Republican National Con-
vention Declares for Senator

A movement to line up the Pennsyl-
vania delegation to the next Republican
National Convention in support of United
States Senator Boies Penrose for the
nomination for President has been
launched. The first move was made last
night, when Charles H. Dorfiinger a
wealthy glass manufacturer of Wayne
County, Pa, announced his candidacy as
a delegate, and declared himself in favor
OF Penrose for President.
Since Governor Brumbaugh exposed
his part OF the deal by which Thomas b.
Smith became the Organization "har-
mony" candidate for Mayor, friends of
Senator Penrose have been active in all
parts of the State lining up the organi-
zation men in favor Of the Senator 1t
is improbable that Penrose will be a can
didate, but, with the Pennsylvania dele
cation pledged to him. he could go to the
convention next year as the dominant
figure, as Quay did In 1895.
Dorfinger is the first man TO announce
his candidacy as delegate. He was a
delegate to the Chicago Convention of
1908 from the Bradford, Wayne. Susoue-

the assault launched yesterday afternoon
with 10000 men against the French POSI-

Of the German front from the deaoiy hf'
poured upon It by the French guns
On other portions OF the front the usual
artillery duel is still in progress
The official communique follows:
"In Artois there occurred last night a
conflict with grenades and rife hrlng
from trench TO trench in the sectors OF
Neuville and Roclincourt. A rather sharp
cannonade took place to the south OF
Arras And in the region of Roye'
In the Argonne, in the region OF Fon-
taine aux Charmes, violent combats TOOK
place during the entire night. The~G
mans renewed their attack with great
fury. our line, with the exception Of the
trench east OF Birnville, was everywhere
maintained. We took some prisoners ana
captured a rapid-fire gun.
''In Lorraine, in the Forest OF Parsoy,
some advance post engagements were re-
ported in which we had the advantage.
I'm the Vosges, nghting with grenades
occurred on the heights to the east OF
MetZeral.
FIFTY shells were thrown yesterday by
our aviators on the station at Challe-
range Between and o'clock last night
one of our dirigibles bombarded the sta
ton and the mills at Nesle."
Observations on q recent tour OF the
battle front leads to the conviction that
the Allies are ready for any event,
whether offensive or defensive. II the
sudden display of activity reported In the
Argonne last night means a real German
drive southwark to Isolate Verdun fortress
than the Crown Prince is due for a sur
prise.
Considerable significance is attached TO
recent events in the world war, including
the fact that the Gear has assumed su-
preme command Of the Russian army
and navy, General Joffre's visit to Italy,
following on Lord Kitchener's visit to
France King Albert's visit to Joffre and
other visits between commanding officers.
All these things, together with official
admission that the British now hold
more extended line on the western front,
enhance the impression that the Allies
plan concerted action in new offensive.
