Many People Becoming More
Interested Each Day.

How can these facts be doubted (?
People In your own town. many of whom
you no doubt know, and many Of Lincoln
and other cities In Nebraska, as well as
thousands Of others throughout the
United States are telling OF the marvel
GUS results obtained through the use Of
Tanlac. Mr. John F. Himoe, the well
known shirt manufacturer, whose office
Is at $50 Paxton Block. this city, and
who has been in business in Omaha for
rs years, tells an interesting story re-
garding his health and the use of Tanlac.
Mr.. Himoe said:
For the past few years 1 have been
exceedingly nervous. and at times the
least little excitement would completely
upset my nerves. I could not sleep sound
ly at night, was irritable and my stom-
ach troubled me great deal. When /
ate or drank anything cold j would suffer
for sometime afterward with severe
pains in my stomach, and It would al
ways leave me In a very nervous condi-
ton. / had heard so much OF this Tan
lac that decided to give It trial 1t

l can gladly tell anyone OF the improve
ment in my condition. now sleep bet
ter, have a ravenOus appetite. and my
nerves are In better shape than they have
been In years past. Above ALL can

When men like Mr.. Himoe praise a
preparation, there should no longer re-
main any doubt that the medicine con-
tains one thing-merit. People are tell

PAID MILITIA HOPE
FOR u. DEFENCE
Chairman Hay Says More
State Troops Could
Protect Nation.

Asserting that the regular army can
never be raised above 100000 because
Of the demand for laborers, and that
conscription Is unthinkable, Represen-
tative Hay, chairman of the House
Committee on Military Affairs, yes
terday announced the only way to pro-
vide for the defence of the United
States was to pay every national
guardsmen $50 a year. MIR. Hays state
ment was obtained in Washington by a
representative of the National Defence
League, and made public at the leagues
headquarters here.
"Our present standing army" said
Mr. Hay, 'is allowed by law strength
Of 1901 900 men. About $1,000 are act
ually enlisted. The army now costs US
$4,000 900 a year. The full strength
Of the army at 10000, in addition to
pay given the national guard, would
cost us s14O,OO0,OO0. If we had 100000
men, which is said to be as many as
could be enlisted owing TO demands Tor
industrial service, we would have TO
spend sl60,0OO,000. If We had an army
OF 100000 men, which some people ad-
vocate, 1t would cost US S7OO,OOO,OO0:

Congress to impose that burden on
them.

lstment in the national guard by pay

cost for the first year. II would be
wise also TO increase the field artillery,
now consisting of six regiments. to
twice that number. The war in Europe
has demonstrated this Is the most
potent arm of the service. 1t should
be borne in wind that in the last four
wears more money has been appropri-
ated for field artillery and field artil-
lery ammunition than in the previous
ten years. This artillery and ammuni-
ton is now in reserve. -.

BRYCE APPEALS

TURKS KILL MEN

Historian Says Thousands OF
Christians Were Thrown
Into the Sea.

London, Sept. ao.-Viscount Bryce
formally British Ambassador 70 the
United States, has sent to The Asso-
ciated Press a plea that America try 70
stop the slaughter OF Armenians.
THE civilized world" Lord Bryce
says, Especially America, ought to
know what horrors have been passing
in Asiatic Turkey during the last Few
months, for II anything can stop the
destroying hand OF the Turkish gov
eminent It will be an expression Oh
the opinion of neutral nations, chiefly
the judgment Of humane America.
"Soon after war broke out between
Turkey and the Allies the Turkish gov
eminent formed, and since has been
carrying out with relentless cruelty,
plan for extirpating Christianity by
killing of Christians Of the Armenian
race. Accounts from different sources
agree that over the whole Of eastern
and northern Asia Minor and Armenia
the Christian population is being de-
liberately exterminated, the men OF
military age killed and the younger
women seized for Turkish harems,
compelled to become Mahometens and
kept with children in virtual slavery.
The rest Of the inhabitants, old women,
men and children, have been driven
under convoy of Turkish soldiers into
unhealthy parts Of Asia Minor, some
to the deserts between Syria and the
Euphrates. Many die or are murdered
en- route, and all perish sooner or later.
an Trebizond city, where the Ar
menians number over 10000, orders
came from Constantinople to seize all
Armenians. Troops hunted them, drove
them to the shore, took them to sea,
threw them overheard and drowned
them all, men, women and children.
This was seen and described by the
Italian Consul.
Some In the country escaped by
processing to accept Islam, and quar-
ter of a million escaped over the Rus
sian frontier, but perhaps half mill
ION were slaughtered or deported, and
those deported are fast dying from il!
treatment, disease or starvation. The
roads and the hillsides are strewn with
corpses Of innocent peasants.
I'VE can all try to send aid to the
miserable refugees now in Russian ter
ritory, but what man can stop the mas
sacres? Not tho Allied powers at
war with Turkey. Only one power can
take action for that purpose. 1t IS
| Germany. Would not the expression of
American public opinion, yoicing the
conscience of neutral nations, lead Ger
many to check the Turkish govern
ment?"

Despondent over lack Of business

bullet in his Office in the Woolworth
Building, last evening. His homo was
at So East Ninety-third Street. He
was married and had two children. 1t
was the first suicide in the worlds
most famous Office building.
Robinson shared an Office with sew
eral other attorneys and publishing
firm in rooms s05-7-9 on the eighth

chased a revolver.
He did not leave the Office for din
ner last night, remaining there until
the other occupants Of the rooms had
gone for the day. At Q o'clock a watch

Robinson's coat lay on table: In
a pocket were several pawntickets,
showing that he had pledged even
household articles. Not so much as

a different motive for the suicide
was advanced by his young wife, who
before her marriage was soloist IN
Hebrew synagogue.
"He killed himself because of too
perfect love" she said between sobs.
"Our love has been poetic sym

felt that our love, being so beautiful,

Six years ago Robinson ran for As

Over the telephone, Joseph +. LAUDER,

FLANNERY, EX-LAWYER,
DEAD At L. |. HONE
Began Practice at 81 and Made
Fortune in Concentrations.

Joseph A. Flannery, whose methods
in amassing a fortune through real
