liable. He came out Of the Chitral
campaign with the distinguished sery-
ice order for services which included
gallantry in action when he was Sc
gerely wounded
On the staff throughout the South
African campaign he earned the praise
of Roberts and Kitchener by his ca
pacity for getting things done when
others sometimes failed. When in 1910
he was placed in command of the army
staff college even those who agreed
he had shown himself to be the man
for the place were amazed at the
thought that man who had been for
ten years private without any ground
work of regular academic education
should become the director of an In
stitution which gathers the ablest OIL
GERS Of the army for instruction In the
higher branches of war and gives the
character to army organization in time
of war.
But the staff college improved under
his direction. As director of military
training at the war office he had much
to do with the preparation of the
British expeditionary force. He went
to France with it as quartermaster gen
eral and was responsible for keeping
that army overseas supplied.
His success in this capacity led to
his appointment as chief of staff.

a comrade read his lessons to him
While he curried his horse and cleaned
his equipment He studied at every
spare moment.
But not until he had served ten
years did he pass his examination
which gave him a commission in the
Third Dragon guards. He was then
Twenty-Five, and the average second
lieutenant had about eight years the

Clearly he would have to hustle if
he were to attain high rank before
he reached retiring age. In the course

motion could come only through dis

distinguish himself.
-Four years after he had received his
commission he had won enough atten-
ton to be assigned to the intelligence
branch of the quartermaster's depart
ment in India. There he found his OPP
portunity. Rewards are given officers
for learning native dialects. He set
himself assiduously to work and mas

TO GROW TOMATOES.
Characteristic of the Good Plant Is a
Strong and Extensive Root.

| Characteristic of the Good Plant Is a
Strong and Extensive Root.
| Many growers of late tomatoes for
canning purposes underestimate the
Importance of good plants for setting,
says bulletin recently issued by the
New Jersey State College Of Agricul-
ture
under ideal weather and soil condi-
tons very small and weak plants will
live" the bulletin continues, but the
experience of several years past in
some parts of New Jersey has shown
that such conditions are not apt to
prevail; hence, in dry seasons and al
ways in northerly localities where re-
planting is likely to give too late a
crop, the strength of the first plants
set is an all important point. Some
planters prefer to run the risk of los
ing plants, with the intention Of re-
planting such as are lost, rather than
to take little extra care in produc-
ing sets Of the best kind. In the I'M
usual season, such as that of 1914,
such growers are almost certain to
sustain a loss.
1.-THE first characteristic Of the strong
plant is strong and extensive root
system, since with such a root system
there usually goes a stock stem, which
all growers like to have. Crowded
plants cannot develop the right kind of
roots, for the simple reason that they
have not room enough for expansion.
Some growers who aim to get an early
start by sowing seed in the greenhouse
or cold frame may often lose all they
expect to gain, because they feel COM
PEELED to utilize all the space to the
utmost by crowding the seedlings. In
many such cases field sowing with
more space between the plants would
give as good or better results with
less labor.
at is the opinion of the experiment
station authorities that transplanting
could be done much more easily and
cheaply than many growers seem to
think. Where transplanting is not
done. thinning Is advised. Growers are
urged to try the underwriting method
on few rows this year, as this meth
cd promises good results"

The most savage prosecutions that
have ever disgraced the relations of
man to man have passed over it. Turks
and Kurds and Persians and numerous
other despoilers have visited horror aft
er horror on the unhappy people, and the
ancient territory, which stretched from
the Caucasus down toward Mesopo-
tamia, is now partitioned among Turks,
PerSians and Russians. Nearly 1000
years have passed since the fall of the
menians, and during all this period and
for many centuries before the Arme-
mans have lived under the shadow of
violent death.
And now it is said that the Turks
are planning a clean sweep of this an
cient and cultured people, for Armenia
is the seat of the oldest civilized peo-
pie living in the world today So press
ing are the conditions confronting the
Armenians that it is said Ambassador
Morgenthau has offered to raise several
millions of dollars in the United States
to bring the people of Armenia to new
homes in this country. There are
many Armenians in this country now,
for persecution has driven them forth
from their ancient home. All over the
world the ArmenianS may be found.

than the story Of the Armenian peo-

UNHAPPY ARMENIA
UNDER The ROD
Long Persecution One of the
Tragedies Of History.

OF all the people affected by the great
war the condition of the inhabitants Of
Armenia is perhaps the most hopeless.
The whole history Of the land for many
centuries is one Of despair. In that
dim period of human development ~
ing between myth and history, which
in the case of Armenia was about the
middle of the sixth century before
Christ, Armenia took definite political
form and was an independent kingdom
under it's own kings. Later it became
subject to the Assyrians and the Modes.
Later still it was conquered by Alex
ander the Great, passing after his
death under the rod of other rulers and
despoilers.
Christianity found an early home in
Armenia, and dearly have the Armeni-
ans paid for their loyalty to their faith.

SUBMARINE PERIsc0PEs.
Only One Variety Shows the Entire
Horizon at Once.

There are many different styles
Of periscopes. The simplest form is
Vertical steel tube about twenty
feet long, with a rejecting prism at
the top and the lenses OF telescope
at the bottom. 1t is, in fact, sim
Die telescope whose line of sight
turns a corner from horizontal to
vertical as it passes through the
prism. This instrument takes in
forty-fve degrees Of the horizon, or
one-eighth the total field, at one
view. By turning the tube on its
axis the rest comes into sight sue
cessively.
This periscope gives very clear
images, but as it can be used with
only one eye at time it does not
allow of distinguishing the differ
ent planes OF vision very well and
tires the observers eye somewhat
quickly.
The so called combination peri
scope allows of vision with both
eyes, though it is not stereoscopic.
A real image is thrown on a ground
glass screen, much like that of
photograph camera. 1t may be look
ed at with the two eyes, but no i'm
preston of depth and space is Civ
en-. The screen avoids excessive
fatigue, but it can be used only in
bright light. The size of the image
is often insufficient to bring out de-
tail. To obtain greater enlargement
without diminishing clearness too
much, magnifying lenses are some
times added.
The preceding periscopes do not
enable a commander to take rapid
survey Of the horizon. 1t takes five
to ten seconds to make complete
circle. Again, the observer must
himself move around with the eye
piece. If the image is to remain
upright without moving the eye
piece it is necessary to use COM
pensatory prism whose movement
makes up for that of the eyepiece-
This is the principle Of the piano.
ramic periscope, whose tube is fixed
and bears at its summit glass bulb
rejecting prism mount
ed on base that may be turned
with handle. There is a compen-
sating prism that turns at half the
speed and keeps the image straight.
To observe successfully all points
Of the horizon it suflices to turn the
crank without its being necessary
for either observer or eyepiece to
change place.
Nevertheless, however rapid the
operation, it does not enable the OBJ
server to see the whole horizon at
once. This is realized in the peri
scope with ring shaped eyepiece.
At the top of the tube is a ring
shaped lens, which refracts toward
the base of the tube rays that reach
it from all sides. A panoramic inn
age is thus obtained that includes
all surrounding objects, though they
appear smaller and more distant
than with the naked eye. - Ex-

ed to the war department that 800
bandits inhabit the country opposite
Progreso and that If Carranza does
not stop these bandits from making
raids into American territory he would
recommend that American forces be
permitted to pursue the marauders
across the international line when beat
en- back upon a raid.
The situation is complicated by the
fact that information has been sent to
Washington that much of the trouble
along the border has been deliberately
instigated by Americans on this side of
the boundary line. Until authentic in
formation is obtained as to the cause
of the raids the policy of the Amer
lean government will be unchanged,
and while raiders will be driven off
American troops will not be permitted
to cross into Mexico in pursuit.

Another tooth is placed at each corner
where the mortised ends join. Be-

Woodchopper' s Body
 Is Found in Cabin

In his lonely cabin, about two miles from Chatanika, the decom- posed body of James Robinson was discovered on last Wednesday by Sandy Buhro. The body was buried near the house on the following day by Commissioner Weiss.
 As soon as he was informed of the discovery, Commissioner Weiss went to look after the body. He found the door locked and the win dows fastened down, which proved that the death was a natural one. In order to get in, he broke open the door, but the odor was so strong that he could not go inside. The man had evidently died a month or more previously.
 Returning to Chatanika, Commis- soner Weiss secured man to help him, and taking with them a coffin, they managed, after the room had been fumigated, to get the body into it. Then they buried it on the place. The body indicated that death was from natural causes, thought it is possible that it was due to pto- maine poisoning.
