GERMAN EMBASSY
PROTESTED AGAINST
ARMENIAN OUTRAGE
Sickening Details of Turk

OF Relief Society


bostoI December 22.-The German gov

Eaent of Armenians, according to
III. James L. Barton, chairman of the
nathonal committee for Armenian and
Servian relief, who today made public
he text of the protest.
In his statement, DIR. Barton, speaking
for the committee, says that Count Ernest
Won Reventlow, a German naval expert,
in a recent article in the Tages Zeitung
in Germany, and cabled to the United
States, strongly defends Turkeys mas
sacre of the Armenians on the basis of
military necessity. and adds: Zone won

throughout the length and breadth of the
Turkish empire after the men (who only
were capable of revolution, but according
to every known evidence, did not revolt
had nearly all been disposed of. the at
tack fell upon the widows and orphans,
who were driven from their homes by
bayonet.
rs it possible that Won Reventlow
knows that fully one-half of these refu-
gees miserably persisted from violence,
exposure and starvation?

reports made by many eyewitnesses-

PENNY BANK FORCED
TO CLOSE DOORS AND
BEGIN LIQUIDATION
tconinued from Page Fivel

depositors have been so long without
work that they have been forced TO
continually withdraw their funds.
The suspension OF this bank will cause
the keenest regret not only among ne
groes, but among white citizens who have
taken pride in the institution during its
history of quarter century, as an eX-
ample of negro achievement. 1t was
founded by DR.. w. r. Pettiford and nine
associates and Dr. Rettiford was presi-
dent up to the time of his death, Sep
TENDER 20, 1914. 1t develops that the bank
was having a hard struggle even at the
time of his death, and in February of
this year it was consolidated with the
Prudential bank. another negro insttu-
ton, in. an effort to save the situation.
Several years ago the bank built an
office building on Eighteenth street, five
stories high with basement. which has
been pointed to with pride ever since as
an example of negro thrift and attain
ment. The banks capital at the time OF
the suspension was $4,000, and the build
ing is among the banks assets.
The bank always had the encourage
ment and support of the late DR.. Booker
T. Washington, and he was close per-
sonal friend of its leading officers.

HENDERSON STORE
BURNS WITH LOSS
OF TEN THOUSAND

Troy, December 22-( Special)-The store
of Henderson & Hill at Henderson, few
miles south of Troy was burned to the
ground Monday night from an unknown
cause. The firm is composed of Fox Hen

gustus Hill of Henderson. Mr. Henderson

store was built by his father, who did
business there long years ago. He was
born there, as were also several of his
brothers. Gov. Charles Henderson being
one of them. The old frame store which
had been erected by Governor Hender-
sons father, had stood for a quarter Of
century and had been the gathering
place of the people of that section and
was inseparably linked with the history
of the place. This is the first fire the lit
tie village of Henderson has had for a
number of years. and as they have no
fire. fighting apparatus the blaze could
not be extnguished.
The stock was valued at $4,000. partly

bills and medicine. What was she to
do with the Christmas holidays so near
Every gift had gone with the neces-
sary expenditure of money for the ILL
ness.
After several hard hours lighting
with discouragement, she said: Il be-

kindnesses to me. After much debate
with myself as to what could be done
for the sort of gift that had to be
bought seemed out of the question,

"a Christmas promise for each
friend, for instance: One of my friends
had small child and could never
leave him at night as my nights were
all I had free 1 promised to spend
one night month for 9 months with
my friend so she could have the re-

There are only a few hours left now
before the gift must be given, and
every hour is busy one, be sure tc
remember il the purse is small you
may promise a real service as gift
for all the year round.

the silk hose worn out, it will be cher

"A Pron1issorv Christmas Present
Social Service Department
by MRS. SIDNEY N. ULI.NAN

Why not change the Christmas idea
to some extent and let us make it a
time for service instead of a "gift
feast?"
Not long ago 1 heard a young wom-
an say that she had abolished the
custom of present giving at Christmas
time in her home except for the dear
little kiddies, and instead she gave
some act of service in the name of
her husband while he remembered her
through a generous act to some per
son in need.
This was a really great way of re-
Numbering each other and something
entirely unique.
Isn't it a pity there isn't more of
this done? Why not single out some
woman who is lonely in your midst
and invite her out to dine with you,
or to church with you; give some of
your rushing hours before Christina S
to shopping for somebody who doesn' t
get out as easily as you can. Read
aloud to sick friend certain num-
Der of hours for a given length of
time as a gift
There are a thousand and one ways
of serving people and it won't cost
half the energy or worry or nervous
running around you expend in some
foolish gew- gew that is put away to
be given somebody else next year.
Shopping early is real service;
buying T. B. stamps is a service in the
end. Just radiating sunshine and good
cheer all the year round is the great
est service of all.
Several months ago girl in very
moderate circumstances was counting
out her hard earned and carefully
saved money to be used at Christmas
time. After awhile she became ill an6

The word medicine" means mere to
