Turkey Throws Impenetrable Veil
Over Actions Toward Armenians

ish officials would not talk and
the censorship would not permit the
free passage of dispatches on the
subject.
Nevertheless it must be said that
the Armenians are not blameless.
Divested of all factors related to
the national ambitions of the Ar
menians, their conduct toward the
Turks and the Ottoman government
has invited constantly measures Of
repression. The rising of Zeitoun,
bort Jul and Van and wholesale de-
sertions of Armenian soldiers to the
allies on the Gallipoli peninsula, and
to the Russians in the Caucasus,
have turned the Turks heart into
stone in matters Armenian. and he
is now wreaking vengeance upon
guilty and innocent alike.
Constantinople has for weeks had
it's daily crop of Armenian rumors.
One of the most interesting of them
is that even the Sheik-ul-Islam had
protested against the excesses from
which the Armenians have suffered.
There is a possibility that this is
true, because the Sheik-ul-Islam is a
man of moderation and very pro-
gressive tendencies.
1t is asserted in Constantinople
that the German government has for
some time. even at the beginning of
the war, taken a special interest in
the Armenians. The Germans fear
ed from the very start of the war
between Turkey and the entente
powers that the Armenians would
make an attempt to re%-establish their
independence by force.
Prominent Armenians were in
formed that Germany would contin-
lie, and eve increase, it's benevo-
lent interest in the race, if a reason
able attitude was taken during the
a For a time the influence of the
men who had been entrusted with
the dissemination of this promise
had the desired result. But last
January and February, more espec-
tally in March and April, when the
allies had begun to attack the OAR
danelles in real earnest, the services
of these Intermediates ceased to be
of value. Exaggerated reports of
entente victories inflamed the i'm
agination of the Armenians. and in
many parts they rose in revolt.
What has happened since then is
still an unwritten chapter. No
newspaper men are allowed to visit
the affected districts, and reports
from these are altogether unreliable.
The reticence of the Turkish govern
ment cannot be looked upon as a
good sign. however. especially wheDl
viewed in the light of what the Ger
man government has been obliged
to do.

RETURN TO LONDON AFTER
GATHERING RICH COLLECTION

LONDON, Oct. l.. = The last
members of the Siberian expedition
promoted by the Oxford ~university's
school of anthropology and the Phil
adelphia university museum have re-
turned to London with a rich collec-
ton of material and new informa-
ton about a strange region.
Miss M. A. Czaplicka, a native OF
Russian Poland, was the leader of
the party, assisted by H. A.. Hull of
Philadelphia, as ethnologist, Miss
Curtis, an artist. and Miss Haviland,
an orrithologist. They set out from
London a year ago last May.
The most curious tribe met in
their travels were the fungus, a
primitive nomad people of the Mon
golian type who live apart by them
selves. They have only vague no.
tions about the Russians and the
czar, and have no system of writ
ing. They live in wigwams and have
no occupation other than the breed
ing of reindeer and the hunting of
white foxes. Their religion is a be-
lief in good and evil spirits.
A large collection of costumes.
weapons implements and copper and
iron ornaments were brought home
by the expedition.

most prominent Jews were banished
to Viatka. Seven hundred male
Jews, it is declared, were assembled
at the railway station and the Rus
SLAMS announced that every tenth
man was to be shot. The local
Russian pope knelt before the men
with a cross and defied the soldiers
to shoot. None of the Jews were
executed.
Six Jews are said to have been

Twenty-six are alleged to have been
taken away from Bryczyn, Of whom
13 were afterward found dead and
the other 10 not again heard of. Six
Jews. including a rabbi, are alleged
to have been hanged at Subota, be-
cause they had harbored German

they find the road in a bad condition
from personal examination and that
the road is practically street and

NEW WAREHOUSE STARTED
VIII BE 100 Feet Long-Rapid Growth
Of Business Demands This
Addition.

Work was started on Monday of
this week on new warehouse at the
plant of the Baltimore Roofing and
Asbestos Manufacturing Company,
Asbestos, Md. The new building will
De one hundred feet long and sixty
feet wide, and will be added to the
western end of the main building.
making the total length OF that
building something in excess Of
twelve hundred feet.
The new structure will conform in
style to the main building, being con-
structed of concrete and steel
throughout.
The company has found itself
hampered for the lack of room in
which 70 store finished products un-
I'll ready for shipment, practically all
the vast space now under cover be-
Inc used for the manufacture and
handling OF products in the process
OF manufacturing.
The new building will permit the
accumulation OF stock OF the many
standard articles for which there are
daily calls, and will nermit C. C. +nsi-
manufacture in larger quantities
than has been possible before.
Ihe roofing department and paper
mill have been working day and
night for sometime past on large
orders and the congestion resulting
from the lack Cf sufficient warehouse
facilities has been a considerable
handicap in the handling of the pro-
ducts.
The rapid growth OF business
which demands an addition at this
early date is most gratifying To the
officers of the company and speaks
we'll for its future development. With
many lines OF business complaining
OF depression, 1t is gratifying to note
tnat the growing business of this
company demands greater facilities.
