Enver Pasha in 30 Days

Says German Officers
Are Active in
Outrages
By UNITED 2AESS.


NEW YORK. Oct. TIT Is en-
yer Pasha's boast that he killed
more Armenians In 80 days than
Abdul Hamid did In 30 years. And
Abdul Hamid was known as the
Great Butcher. and the Red Sui
tam"
This statement was made today
by Miss Emily c. Wheeler. secre-
tary Of the National Armenia and
India Relief association. an organ
ization which since 1895 has been
active in mission work In Turkish
Armenia. Information on which
her statement was based was given
her by a missionary, an American
physician just returned from Tur-
key. Miss Wheeler herself spent
Is years In Armenia and was there
during the massacre Of 1895.
German officers are active In the
Armenian prosecutions" continued
Miss Wheeler, according to stories
told me by my missionary friends.
Certain classes OF Turks are not in
sympathy with the horrible out
RACES, but they dare not protest as
the movement Is being directed
from Constantinople.
"Out of the Armenian nation of
100000 people, 100000 have been
killed or deported. 'rhe Ottoman
government Is waging a campaign
OF determination. This is evident
from the slaughter and is further
indicated by the statement Of the
governor OF Van. made in Novem-
Der. 1914. that the government in
tended to kill every Armenian. even
down to the babies, to rid Turkey
forever OF the Armenian question.
They have succeeded so well in
some villages there Is not even n
sign Of life left The entire dis.
trict of Tifiis has been leveled by
fire. Women have been scorched.
scalded and beaten to death. Even
the orphans in our missions have
been deported. In the Van district
alone 81 900 Armenians we're killed
In August
"One of the young women at
tached To the Van mission has been
missing since July. She is a Miss
McI.aren, an American. who volun-
teered to serve in the Red Crescent,
the Turkish Red Cross. She disap-
peared when the Turks fed before
the Russian soldiers. She Is prob
ably dead. Another instance is that
of Sister Martha, a German woman,
who fed with so orphans from the
savage Kurds in July Nothing has
been heard of them.
Those who managed TO escape
death are suffering Understandable
tortures from starvation. The gov
eminent hinders all outside aid and
will do nothing itself to relieve
conditions.
"Of the 10000 Armenians who
started for Russia over 100000 died
Of typhus. There are $4,000 Ar
menians serving in the Russian
army. This, and the fact that there
are a handful Of Armenian revolu.
tionists stirring up trouble are the
excuses offered by the government
for the prosecutions"
The physician said former
Princeton man, killed at Harpoot,
was Prof. vorperian. an Armenian
who graduated from Princeton 90
years ago. He was executed for al
legged participation in the revolu-
ton.
Miss Wheeler said today funds
for the National Armenia and India
Relief association work are urgent
ly needed.

WORKING HIS WAY UP

At the 1915 commencement exer-
cises Of Columbia university Ensign
Louis Randolph Ford, U. S. NJ, re-
ceived the degree of master of arts.
That was only one incident in the
determined fight this young naval
officer Is making to achieve his child
hood ambitions, which ambitions, it
may well be, do not stop short Of the
insignia Of rear admiral.
AS a barefooted lad in Texas,
where he was born thirty-two years
ago, Louis Ford made up his mind to
enter the navy, but his parents were
not able to send him to college and
the influence to obtain an appointment
to the naval academy was lacking. SO
at the age of fourteen Louis went to
work on a Sabine river tugboat, and
three years later became an appren-
tfce In a machine shop. In two years
more he was full-fedged machinist
and enlisted as such in the navy.
Starting in at Mare Island, he worked

KENT TELLS A NOME STORY

Representative William Kent of
California has many quaint tales of
the north country. One of them deals
with the early days in the Nome re.
, gion, when gold was plentiful and
everything else was decidedly scarce.
One OF the residents, the story runs,
wandered into rough, ready.made
saloon and beheld four bewhiskered,
rough-looking individuals.
They were deeply detected. They
, sat far back in their chairs, hands in
pockets. Occasionally one OF them
sighed or swore. In front of them
were stacks of chips representing
several thousand dollars in gold.
/. What's the matter?" asked the
; visitor.
This here poker game is busted
; up" was the reply.
/ Busted up?" repeated the visitor.

YOUNG MAN HAS OLD JOB '-'s~

One of the youngest officials Of
the Wilson administration is at the
head Of the oldest scientific depart

INCREASING FOREIGN TRADE,

Announcement Is made of a plan, which will be discussed at the com- ing Pan American scientific congress this month, to introduce immediately into the high schools and colleges throughout the country special courses of study for foreign trade and the consular and diplomatic services. This comes as the result of the increased opportunity which is afforded this country to increase it's trade with for eign countries. Various large bus lness corporations have already evolved methods of training their en- ployes for foreign trade in order to be better prepared tc handle increa sed foreign business and particularly in new fields, but the~o is need of a plan which will be more general and which will broaden tha results.
 Following a 17. .0nA mile trip through a half dozen Of the leading South American countries for the purpose of advancing the commercial interests of the corporations that he represented Charles Lyon Chandler returns with the statement that "The countries of South America are rapidly regainins their financial stability and are look ing to the United States to supply their wants because of their inability to buy from Europe. Europe is pour ing money into South America. espe- ciaily Argentina and Uruguay for meat and other foodstuffs, and this money is ready to be exchanged in the United States for manufactured goods and other products which are essential ir the everyday life of the South Amer. ieas"
 Europe because of its long expert. ence in supplying the wants of tha1 continent will have little difficulty fol. lowing the war in regaining it's ole markets, but if this country is goins to get the share of trade there whicI it deserves and retain it, 1t must mak, the necessary preparations to offse it's competitors and that cannot b, done any too soon. Our foreign trad has been neglected too long.

BUYING GERMAN LINERS.

It is an interesting situation which is disclosed in the report from Copen- hagen to the effect that the Swedish American line has practically com pleted negotiations for the purchase of two 12000 ton Hamburg American liners which are to be placed in the trade between this country and Great Britain,
 The question of the transfer of such vessels during war times has been one which has bothered many of the neutral nations and at the present time this country is concerned in two cases of only recent date where Great Britain has refused to accept the transfer to an American company where the vessels were to be employed in trade between neutral ports.
 If Great Britain could be assured that German vessels now lying idle could be turned to business in which they are interested and which would aid in moving more rapidly the muni- tions which the allies have ordered in this country and which are waitine shipment, it is reasonable to suppose that it would have no objection to suct a transfer.
 On the other hand that imposes 6 condition on the sale which is moi likely to be agreeable to Germany It might have no means of intercept. ing such vessels if they were trans. ferred, but it has something to say about their transfer and though i might be willing that the sale should be made if such a change in owner, ship was not going to result to tn, advantage of it's enemies, the very l fact that it would, and that that i l the basis upon which the allies woulC | sanction the transfer is sufficien ground for Germany 10 block it.

VlLLA,s DECISION.

Not until General Villa is known to be outside of the borders of Mexico will 1t be wise to accept as a fact the statement that the conventiona1ist leader has actually abandoned his fight against Carranza. Villa is a born fight CT and he has generals and men un- der him who are of the same makeup and willing to fight until they drop, so that as long as he remains within that republic it is impossible to think of his abandoning the struggle, even if Carranza would agree to peace terms. Such a compromise is hardly possible since the constitutional lead CT knows the danger of having such an enemy in the country who could be expected to start an uprising at the least provocation.
 Villas power has been gradually waning, however, and it has suffered severely since Carranza was recog- nized and an embargo was placed on the shipment of munitions to any other than the recognized government of Mexico. His forces have been dis organized for months and conditions in the small section which he con- trolled going from bad to worse. For that reason the reported abandonment of his revolution by Villa does not come as a surprise. It is to be sim cerely hoped that it is true and that Villa actually leaves the country in- stead of resorting to mountain war fare, for it is high time that that re- public was freed from the upheaval which it has been experiencing for the past several years. Beaten and dis couraged Villa has gradually lbeer driven into a corner and if he has realized his impotency now instead o1 demanding greater proof Mexico will have cause for congratulations. Thai country, however, can never be satis- fed until he is beyond it's borders.
