AMERICANS ASSIST
 ARlEENLAIS AT WAR


 VAN. Turkish Amenia. The 60O- year reign of tho Turk has been brought to an end, in both the town and tho villayet Of Van. il Is no lon- ger strictly correct to date this cor respondence from Turkish Armenia' at Che same time il Is a question as to whether Van may yet be consid- cred an Independent state or whether it win be annexed by Russia. A ioun- dalton of Armenian autonomy has been laid. however. by the naming of one cf tho Armenian leaders. Arr am. who was a former supervisor of schools. as civil governor, and the establishment of a provisional admin istratlon.
 The vniayet of Van has an area Of about 15.o0o square miles with a population og several hundred thou. sand.
 The origin of the revolt, of course, is found in the hereditary discord between the races and religion of Van. but the uprioing ol the Armen- ians was more specifically due to Che conduct of Jcvett Bey, the Turkish goyernor-general of the villayet of Van. in demanding Armenian re- cruits to the Turkish cause and in tho severe measures he took when these recruits were not forthcoming.
 Demans 5000 Recruits
 During the Turkish mobilization. the Armenians were singled out to do menial work. and were not well fed Disarmed, they were exposed to the fury of their hereditary enemies, the Turks and Kurds, and an uprising be- came inevitable, although it was sought neither by the revolutionary leaders nor by prudent Turks. Even Jevdett Bey, who is a brotherin-law of Enver Pasha, the minister of war, seemed at first disposed to peace. He consulted the Armenian leaders frequently. and they trusted bis pro fessed sincereity. but when he re- turned from the Turkish front, facing the Russians at Saral, early in the spring. he suddenly demanded 5000 additional Armenian recruits. The men were promised, but perhaps not sim cerely.
 Trouble first arose between the sturdy Armenian mountaineers of .Shadach and their Kurdish neighbors. Jevett Boy then said that if Che Ar menians of Van stirred he would make an end of the race throughout the Empirea There was shortly war be- tween Armenian and Kurdish villagers in all parts of Turkish Armenia. nut

The Maclconzio river opened with a rush in the spring of 1914. and poured ont a torrent of water which washed away all the ice connecting Banks land with the land ice farther west. The belief has been growing that stefansson and his companions have perished.
 The Bear reported that nothing has been heard of the gasoline schooner New Jersey, heretofore reported miss ing. The New Jersey left Nome last fall, under command of Capt. Orrin Rank, trader, who had with him a crew of EslSimos, including four who were shipwrecked with Capt. Bart lett on the Stefansson ship KarluS.

Summer Foods AS
Cause of Dyspepsia
Effect on Digestive Organs
Responsible For
Many Ills

Summer should be the season of
most perfect health, but impure water
and milk, unripe fruit and a tendency
to over-indulge in acid foods and
iced drinks results in contrary con
dition in many people.
The effect of the average summer
diet is to constipate even normally
regular bowels, and disturb the di.
gestion. This condition can best be
corrected by the use Of a mild laXa-
tive that has combined with it the
elements of a digestive tonic. The
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. is gentle, yet positive
in its action and brings relief in an
easy, natural manner, without gripping
or other discomfort.

Method of Suicide

Pittsburg, Kas., July 17.-Mike
Demski, a Franklin miner, committed
suicide this afternoon by the use of
dynamite. Fragments of his body
were found in four rooms. Demski
either attached the explosive to his
waist, or lay down on his face with
the dynamite under him. A hole was
blown in the floor of the room where
the explosion occurred.
Demski, who was 45 years old, was
despondent because of domestic trou.

him this morning when she says she
found he had been drinking. She had
left him early in the week for the

increased. State officers, elective and

(By State Democratic Press

(by State Democratic Press
Bureau
There has probably never been in
this state such earnest and long drawn
out contentious over tax valuations as
have been going forward daily and
almost hourly for the past several
weeks before the state board of equali-
zation, which is composed of seven Of
the states principal officers and whose
further duty it is to assess for taxa
tion purposes all public service cor
poratOns. Most of the hard fighting
nicipal plants such as street and in
terurban railways, light, gas and tele-
termined stand to hold valuations up
| to last years average and it has been
| the steady purpose of this class of
property owners to hunt always for
lower figure. This members of the
present board are experienced and
conservative business men as well as
officers. They have, many of them,
important interests in the state and
their sympathies, if this were a mat
ter of sympathy, would be with the
property owners whose specious and
tear compelling pleas are entirely out
of the ordinary.
Members of the board have studied
the appropriations and their sum con
stitutes the amount that must be
raised by taxation They have stud
led and through their representatives
have inspected the public service cor
porations of the state in order that
they may be made to bear their due
proportion of taxes. There was little
difficulty with the railroads, and most
| of the larger corporations of the state,
many of the others were grossly un-
dervalued and were raised substan-
TALLY by the board.
This does not mean that the own
ers are dishonest or that the managers
of the plants in most Of these cases
are trying deliberately to defraud the
state. 1t is merely the difference in
the point of view. The owners or
operators want the property valued
| low enough so that the income and
bonding value will be attractive in
eastern markets, but they fight siren.
uously against making the bonded
value the value for assessment.
The plain, everyday tax payer out
on the farm and in the stores of the
state must realize from this procedure
that anything near equal assessment
and an equitable division of the eX-
penses Of government can only be Sc
cured by the eternal vigilance Of his
representatives on this board. Until
they change the system by adopting
the constitutional amendment for
a state tax commission if they ever do,
they want to see that the men who
will continue to put the X-ray of tax
able valuation on the public service
corporations, have steel fbered back
bones and are determined to deal just
" with all interests, the state and
all its persons, both natural and ar
tifcial.
