APPEAL TO TURKEY

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-An appeal
for relief of Armenian Christians in Tur-

explained The foreign minister said:
The presence of our troops in Persian

were sent to that country some years age
for the definite purpose of establishing and
maintaining order in districts continuous
to our possessions, Of high economic I'M
portance to US, also to prevent the seizure
of some of these districts by the Turks
who openly strove to create for themselves
there, especially in the district of Uru

tons against the Caucasus. The Persian
government, not having the actual power
to maintain its neutrality, met the Turk

which, however, had no results

Entertainment Enjoyed.

The entertainment staged at the
Lyric Theatre last Saturday evening
under the auspices of the Auxiliary
club was most enjoyable one. Roy
Hale delighted his hearers with a
bass solo which was encored. Mrs.
Shirley Keene and some of her pro-
teges appeared in original dances, an
adaptation Of the fox trot, maxixe
and an original one-step, the "Shirlee
whirl." After reel of pictures Mrs.
Henry Provost sang in a charming
manner that most beautiful of waltz
songs, Beautiful Lady" and was
accompanied by the dancers in a
dream hesitation waltz. Lighting
effects lent greatly to the effective
ness of the feature. Mrs. Provost
has beautiful soprano voice and
her many friends hope to have the
pleasure Of hearing her again in the
near future. Ashland is indeed for
tunate in having an artist of the
ability OF Mrs. Keene. Her ability
as teacher is amply exemplified in
the work of those who appeared with
her Saturday evening.

University Troupe
at Vining Monday

Professor Reddie, head of the pub
lie speaking department of the Uni
versity of Oregon, accompanied by
three of his best students, will appear
at the Vining next Monday evening
August 16, and it is expected that a
very large crowd will attend, for Pro-
fessor Reddie and his students have
gained statewide name in their
work.
This troupe is called the University
of Oregon Concert Company, and ap-
pear in Ashland after having played
for the last seven weeks in nearly
every county of the state of Oregon.
They have been touring by automo-
bile through the entire central and
eastern part OF the state. One of the
remarkable features of their tour has
been that they have had crowded
houses in every town, which speaks
well for the excellence of their even
ing. Many return dates that they
have PLAYED also speak well for them.

minated or rather cultivated with
feed which would be a credit to any
hotel in the country. This is prob
ably the final of the class reunions

members leave this week or next for
college or for their winters Occupa
tions. All look forward to a big time

Come to Grief on
Medf0rd Return

A party consisting of A. NJ. Walker,
William Radcliff and Duff Harring-
ton, with man by the name of Helms
driving the car, were arrested Satur-
day evening for driving without
lights. Walker was found to be in
toxicated and liquor found in the pos
session of other members of the party.
Walker was given a chance to recu-
perate in the city bastile and was re-
leased this morning. According to
the police, there is a state law against
bringing liquer into town in ,an
automobile. The other members OF
the party may be called upon to stand
trial under this law, which has been
invoked successfully in some parts of
the state and which has proven to be
rather shaky in others.
