GREATEST MASSACRES OF CHRIS
TIANS IN HISTORY

Foreign advices state that "Christian
martyrdom has at no time assumed such
colossal proportions as in the Armenian
massacres in Turkey and Asia Minor. It
is estimated that 100000 Armenians have
been put to death and 100000 exiled or
rendered homeless, out of a population of
100000. The claim is made that "the
great massacres of Abdul Hamid seem in
significant compared to the recent afro
cities.
Since the outbreak of Armenian afro
cities, the State Department at Washing
ton has been seeking to devise means of
helping the remainder of the Armenian
population, and of saving them from the
fate decreed by the sultan. Daily COM
munication has been held with Ambas-
sador Morgenthau at Constantinople.
When the matter was first broached to
the Turkish government, the reply was
made that the treatment Of Armenians
was war measure, and that no interfer-
ence from an outside nation would be per-
mltted. This was equivalent to telling
the United States to mind it's own busi-
ness. The American ambassador, how
ever, has persisted in his efforts in their
behalf, and has finally wrung the follow
ing concessions from Turkey:
Turkey will permit Armenians to en-
lgrate to the United States upon proof
furnished by the American ambassador
that the emigrants intend to settle in this
country.
Turkey agrees to exempt from the
order of banishment all Armenians who
are Catholic or Protestant Christians.

TERMS OF ANGLO-FRENCH LOAN
ARRANGED

The Anglo-French financial commission,
headed by Baron Reading, lord chief JUS
tice Of England, arrived in Chicago last
Tuesday. The object Of their visit to
Chicago was to work out the final terms
Of the vast loan, and "gain frst-hand
understanding Of the sentiment Of the
country as whole.''
The leading points, it seems, are now
settled. The sum apparently agreed upon
is $50OO00,O00. The loan will be for five
years, at five per cent At maturity, the
notes are to be paid in cash, or converted
into long-term notes, bearing four and
one-half per cent interest, at the option of
the holder Bonds will go to the syndi-
cate at ninety-six and to the public at
ninety-eight per cent, yielding return
on investment Of almost five and one-half
No promise is given that the funds will
not be used in the purchase of munitions
Of war, as well as wheat, cotton and
meats.
The syndicate will consist, not merely
of New York bankers, but will be distri
buted as widely as possible over the
country with leading banks Of all sections
participating. Proceeds of the loan will
be employed exclusively in America
While the amount is but half that first
sought by the commission, it is intimated
that this may be the initial loan Of others

YOUNG CAPITALIST WINS RESPECT
OF MINERS

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., son and heir of
the worlds richest man, has visited his
extensive mining interests in Colorado for
the first time.
Whatever he may or may not do to cor
rect the evils which caused the strike two
years ago, he has made favorable i'm
preston.
Some thought he was playing with death
in going unattended and unguarded into
the war zone of the greatest labor strug-
gle in the country's history, but his cool
nerve and fearlessness won the approval
Of the men. They quickly observed that
he was neither boastful nor overbearing.
Day after day he passed from camp to
camp, ignoring the SCOT and dust, asking
numberless questions, and learning many
things about the conditions Of the men
which he never before knew. He pro-
cured his knowledge first-hand, and from
personal observation.
We are all more or less inclined to re-
gard the capitalist as heartless, and as a
natural enemy Of American rights and
liberties, but it must be admitted that
young Rockefeller has done more in one
weeks time to remove bitterness and
hatred, by mixing among the men Of his
vast interests and letting them know that
he was human, than all the manipulations
Of decade from an eastern point could
have brought about.

DIR. DUMBA TO LEAVE FOR VIENNA


DR.. Constantin Theodor Dumba, Aus
trian Ambassador, has notified the State
Department that he has been ordered
home by his government, and has asked
that safe conduct be arranged for him.
In the light Of informal assurances from
Vienna, that Dr. Dumba would be re-
called, as requested by President Wilson,
the State Department has decided to com
ply with his request, without waiting for
formal notice from the Austrian govern
ment.
DR.. Dumba has made himself obnoxious
to the American government, and this
action is regarded by the administration
as closing the incident.

AMERICAN INVENTORS BUSY
to follow

Americans usually make a success OF
whatever they seriously undertake. Yam
kee ingenuity is as shrewd and ealculat-
ing as that Of any nation upon the earth s
surface, when once applied upon any
given problem. The reason Germany
has astonished the world with military in
ventions is that her greatest minds have
concentrated in that direction for decades,
while Americans have given their atten-
ton to commercial advancement.
The mental activity now being devoted
by American inventors to the improve
ment Of the navy is already bearing fruit.

DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN ENG

Relations between England and Sweden
have become considerably strained by
Great Britain's demand regulating
Sweden s imports.
England has held up a large quantity
of shipments destined for Sweden, claim
ing that conspicuous increase in these be-

find way to Germany In retaliation,
Sweden has refused to allow the transit
of $25, 5,000,0 900 worth Of goods intended for
Russia, which that country urgently
needs.
Sweden claims that her export laws
prohibiting the shipping of provisions to
Germany are being rigidly enforced, and
that England s demands are unjustifable
This trade question is, for the time be-
ing, the most widely discussed topic in
Sweden. Hope is expressed that COM
promise will be effected.

Annexing of Belgium and Northern
France May Prove Previous

A strong agitation has been waged in
Germany, for some time, in favor Of an
nexing Belgium, Northern France, and
Poland. A powerful faction urges that
it would be folly to relinquish these con
quered territories. A strong element,
however, is opposed to the proposition.
So intense has become public feeling that
the Offices of an anti-annexationist society
in Berlin have been raided, and one mem
Der arrested on charge of treason.
In view of the severe fighting along the
western front, it may be just as well for
Germany to defer the annexation ques-
ton, for the present, at least, until it is
seen whether she can hold those territories
or not

TEACHERS FEDERATION WINS
FIRST BATTLE

The Chicago Teachers federation has
won it's first legal battle with the board of
education. Judge John M. O'Connor, of
the Superior Court, granted the teachers
a temporary injunction, restraining the
board from enforcing the Loeb rule, which
provides for the dismissal of any teacher
who refuses to withdraw from the fedora
ton.
The court held that the resolution was
unreasonable and void, and that the
board, in passing it, exercised powers it
did not possess.
Proceedings in an appeal to the Appel
late Court have been started by the

"LORIMERISM" AGAIN IN LIME
LIGHT

The trial of Charles B. Munday, charged
with conspiracy to wreck the LaSalle
street Trust and Savings Bank, Of Chi
cago, and it's affiliated institutions, be-
gan at Morris, Illinois, on September 27
A change Of venue from Chicago to that
point had been obtained, on the grounds
of prejudice
This promises to be one Of the most
hotly contested cases in the annals Of
American courts, and an imposing array
of eminent counsel has been employed on
both Sides
The charge is made that the LaSalle
street Trust and Savings Bank was or
ganized by ex-senator Lorimer, Munday,
and others, from the wreckage of its pre-
decessor, the LaSalle street National
Bank, without dollar Of capital or sur
plus being actually paid in. The capt.
tai and surplus of the National Bank had
been lost, and Lorimer and Munday de-
cided to start new bank. To do this,
the ten directors, including Lorimer and
Munday, issued notes to the National
Bank for $125,000 each, although all are
said to have been insolvent at the time.
With these notes in it's possession the
LaSalle street National Bank gave its
bankers check for 81, ,250,000 to the Cen
trail Trust company, for which it received
that amount in cash This was exhibited
to the state bank examiner as the new
bank s capital and surplus, and, upon the
issuance Of the state auditors certificate,
was Immediately returned to the Central
Trust company.
By this jugglery, the state bank ex-
aminer was deceived, and a large Chicago
banking institution was launched with
flying colors.

The most terrific fighting since the bat
tie of the Marine has taken place within
the past week. along the Franco-Bel gian
frontier.
At break of day on the morning of Sat-
urday, September 25, a furious and sud-
den general attack was made by the
French and English along the entire line,
reaching two hundred miles, in the form
of a right angled triangle, from the sea
south to Compiegne, and from thence east
to Verdun. The battle continued without
cessation throughout Saturday and Sun
day, with the opposing forces at death
grips and engaged, at many points, in
hand to hand bayonet fighting.
The terrific drive had been preceded
by bombardment unprecedented in in
tensity, along the entire front. Hundreds
of huge new cannon, built by the allies
during months Of preparation for the
supreme conflict, had for seventy hours
hurled both explosive and incendiary
shells on the German trenches, literally
tearing the positions TO fragments at
many points. Consequently, when, at the
word of command, the British and
French infantrymen leaped from their
trenches and moved forward, they found
the ground strewn with the German dead
and wounded, and but little resistance
md
third entertainments were reached
In the first two days fighting, about
10000 unwounded prisoners were taken by
the French and the British, and at pres
ent writing, the German loss is believed
to have been more than 100000 men in
killed, wounded, and missing.
Greater gains have been made by the
allies within the past few days than dur
ing the entire preceding twelve months
Advances were made along the entire
line the French at one point smashing
their way for two and one-half miles
through the German defenses along a ff-
teen-mile front.
In the first days fighting, Sonchez was
taken by storm. In the north, near Arras,
the British penetrated the German lines
for a distance Of four thousand yards
On Monday, September 81, the German
crown prince made furious counter as
sault upon the French lines near Verdun,
but this was repulsed with heavy loss,
Present reports indicate cessation of
infantry charges, but the artillery fight
ing and the hurting of bombs and shrapnel
continues with unabated fury.
The French and English advance seems,
in measure, checked, and it is believed
the Germans are rapidly bringing for
ward reinforcements. While they now
have about 100000 men on the western
front, they are at present outnumbered,
having depended largely on their power
full defenses.
No decisive advantage has as yet been
gained by the allies in the fighting of the
past few days, and London papers have
warned the people against attaching too
much Importance to the gains acquired.
In all probability, this is the prelimin-
ary struggle of bloody contest, the like
of which even this war has not before wit
messed
This movement may have very i'm
portant effect in checking the German ad-
vance for the relief Of Constantinople,
and will doubtless cause Withdrawals
from the Russian front.
