THE ARMENIAN MASSACREs.

The New YORK press continues to
publish reports regarding the Armen-
ian massacres and the public at large
is in consequence much concerned
over the pitiful lot of the Armenian
people. Everybody agrees that their
position is most unfortunate, and even
Turkish sympathizers do not deny the
fact that the Armenians are severely
handled by the Turkish authorities
and especially by the semi-savage
Kurds in Eastern Anatolien.
But it is not so generally known
that the Armenian question is a pol
itical one. The geographic position of
the Armenians resembles very much
the geographic position of the Polish
people prior to the outbreak of the
war. One part of the Armenian peo-
pie lives in Russia, another in Tur-
key and third in Persia, but the ma
jority of all Armenians are either Rus
sian subjects or Russian proteges.
Russia has played the role of the
protector of the Christians in Armenia
as France did in Syria. The Russians
had and have still political ambitions
in East Anatolien, and it is an open
secret in Russia that the conquest Of
Eastern Anatolien was one of the parts
of the Russian war programme.
To promote this conquest political
ly, the Russian government, with the
help Of the Russian Armenians, have
organized the Turkish Armenians with
the object OF revolving against Turk
ish rule. The Armenians in Turkey,
during the present war, rose against
their Turkish master and expelled the
weak Turkish garrison from Van, the
capital Of the villayet of the same
name. A few weeks ago reports were
published in the press to the effect
that the Armenians had created the
nucleus of an Armenian state. Later
1t was reported that the Turks had
crushed the Armenian revolution.
The Armenians having revolted
against Turkey at a time when she
was at war with mighty powers, are
regarded today by the Turks as trait
ors and internal foes and are treated
accordingly. 1t was unwise on the part
Of the Armenians to accept the Rus
sian advice, to revolt against the
Turks as long as the Turkish army
was not defeated. Now, Of course,
the Turks, who have always consid-
cred the Armenians as treacherous,
have taken revenge on the misguided
Armenians and are Furnishing them as
every other government Furnishes
traitors in times of war.
It is, of course, foolish to say that
the Turkish-Armenian conflict has re-
ligious motives. AS a matter Of fact
the Turks are known to be the most
tolerant of all Mohammedans. There
are many Christian tribes under Turk
ish rule and one never hear of these
Christian tribes being prosecuted by
the Turkish Moslems. The Turkish
Armenian conflict is rather, a purely
political one.
The Turk, who is generally poor,
considers the wealthy Armenian, who
Sis the shrewdest of tradesmen in the
whole East, as being traitor and a
Zoe Of the Turkish Empire, and the
Armenian, on the other hand, consid-
m the Turk an infidel and barbarian.

Bank DEPOSITS at Atwater.

Cashier J. A. Johnson of the Farm

attention to an error in the amount
of deposits given in our booster edi-
ton. According to the last sworn
statements the First National Bank
had $240,011.44 in deposits and the
Farmers Bank 293,219.47. A total of
1888, 230.91 bank deposits in Atwater
village is certainly a good showing.

APPEAL FOR HUSBAND A JOKE

The young lady from Concord, small
village few miles from Seaford, who
wrote to Mayor Price of Wilmington,
asking him to try and find a husband
for her, has according to Seaford cor
respondent, created lots of talk in Sea-
ford and surrounding country. He says
all efforts to locate the young lady have
been fruitless, and many persons believe
the letter mustto have been written as
a joke.
Residents of Concord, who have lived
there all their lives, say there is no girl
in their neighborhood that answers the
description given in the letter to the
mayor of Wilmington. Frank Wheatley
the rural mail carrier from Seaford, who
had number of letters for the young
lady, known as Miss Ethel R. Sweeney,
had to return them to the local postoffice
undelivered, as he could not locate her.
1t is thought the girl who wrote the
letter formerly lived in Concord, but
recently moved from there. Efforts are
being made to locate this young lady
who is said to be employed in the du-
Pont building, Wilmington.

OFFERS TO BUILD ROAD

Geueral T. c. dupont offers to build
a concrete road from Delmar to Mills
boro, and then on to Rehoboth if the
property owners are willing to give him
the right of way.
A meeting was held at Dallas Elliott's S
near Delmar last Saturday night in the
interest of getting property owners to
give the right of way. A representa-
tive of General dupont was on hand
and explained his idea in road building
and it is thought by many that he will
have very little trouble in securing the
right of way.
General dupont recently stated that
as soon as the people would grant him
the proper right he would start on the
road, and would give the southern part
of Delaware an up-to-date road through
to Rehoboth.
1t is also stated that the project fol
the road from Delmar to Dover ha:
been revived and all the people along
the route in Sussex county are willing
to give the right of way with two ex
ceptions.
Work is being rushed on the concrete
, roadway from Georgetown to Selby
vile, and most of it is expected to b,
A., finished by Christmas.

A MURDERED NURSE

HERMAN women spies have been
- repeatedly caught in London CIV
ing valuable information to the German
armies, and yet in no case has any
other penalty been imposed than i'm
prisonment
The English nurse Miss Cavell who
was brutally shot by order of the Ger
man Governor, Bissell, in BRUSSELS, had
not done any spying but had merely
aide in the escape of some prisoners
who appealed to her to help them.
She had nursed Germans as we'll as
soldiers of other nations, and her cow
ardIy murder has sent a thrill of horror
throughout all Christendom.
In all the fratracidal bitterness of our
Civil War no woman spy though caught
redhanded was executed by either the
Unionists or the Confederates. 1t re-
mains for Germany whose many deeds
of blood in this war have sickened hu-
manity to add to her long list this last
cowardly, contemptibly unchivalrous
murder without trial of poor young
girl nurse.

GIFT FOR DELAWARE COLLEcE


Delaware College at Newark is to re-
ceive gift of half million dollars
from donor who desires to have his
name kept secret. This announcement
was made Saturday following a meet
ing of the executive committee of trus-
tees of the college. OF the $500, 900 Gift
100000 is to go for new buildings and
the balance will be kept as an enowment
fund for the maintenance of the same.
The state will thus be put to no ad-
ditional financial burden by the erection
of new buildings with the gift.
This contribution of half million
dollars to Delaware College is in addition
to the money recently presented by
man whose name is withheld from the
public for the purchase of a great tract
of land extending from Delaware Col
lege to the Woman's College, to be used
as site for new buildings to be erected
according to comprehensive plan look
ing fifty years into the future.
1t is proposed that Delaware College
shall become one of the foremost in the
land, with a rank equal to that of Dart
mouth Certainly, should the compre-
hensive project as outlined in drawings
and sketches by Architect Day, an ex-
pert on college architectural develop
ment, be carried out, Delaware College
would become the foremost so-called
State College in the country.
The gift of $5OO,00 was communi-
Gated to the executive committee of
the college trustees at a meeting held
recently A letter was received from
the donor setting forth his desire to
give the money for the development of
the college and imposing secrecy as to
his identity. The offer came as a most
pleasurable surprise to the members OF
the executive committee, and the gifl
was accepted by that committee sub.
ject to the action of the board of trus-
tees Of the college. 1t goes without
saying that the trustees will be glad to
accept the gift and confirm the actor
of the executive committee.
The committee on nsw buildings OF
which H. Rodney Sharp of Wilmington
is chairman has been in consultation
with Day & Klauder, architects, of
Philadelphia, relative to plans aud spe-
cfications for the new buildings, ac-
J cording to tbs scheme of comprehensive
r development.
2 The first building to be considered
probably will be for the science side of
the Institutions activities-agr agriculture,
laboratories, etc.
The next meeting of the college trus-
tees will be held on November 80 at
| Newark.
, Chairman Thompson, of the executive
a committee, was authorized to appoint a
G special committee to consider the ques-
ton of the future of the fraternity
houses at the college. Under the new
system propoposed for the college there
y will be dormitories, and that raises the
+ question as to what the attitude shall
q be toward the fraternity houses. That
special committee has not yet been ap-
pointed but following its appointment
it will take up this question and hear re-
e Communications from all sides.
e Reports were received from the COM
mittee on agriculture, finance, instruc-
= ton and Womens College, at the meet
ing Friday night.
