"Unthinkable Outrages "

The idea Of direct attack and massa-
ere. carried out in former times" says
one authority writing under date of
Aug. 8, has been altered somewhat in
that the men and boys have been de-
ported in great numbers and disap-
peared en- route and, later on the wo-
men and children have been made to
follow. For some time stories have
been prevalent from travellers arriving
from the interior of the killing of
males and of great numbers of bodies
along the roadsides and floating in the
Euphrates river; of the delivery to the
panying the conveys, of women and
children. Of all the young members Of
the parties; of unthinkable outrages
committed by gendarmes and kurds
and even the killing of many victims
At first these stories were not given
much credence, but as many of the
refugees are now arriving in -, no
doubt longer remains of the truth of

Turkish Order

Turkish Order
Describing under date of June 90,
the wholesale deportation of $4,000 Ar
menian inhabitants Of Zeeitoum to the
konleh region, Aleppo and places in
Mesopotamia, one writer gives the text
of the Turkish government order CIV
ing authority for the explosions. 1t
reads:
THE commanders of the army, of
independent army corps and of divis-
oins may, in case Of military necessi-
ty and in case they suspect espionage
or treason, send away either singly or
in mass the inhabitants of villages or
towns and install them in other plac-
eS.''
THE orders of the commanders, -
says the writer, may have been rea-
sonably humane: but the execution of
them has been for the most part I'M
necessarily harsh and in many cases
accompanied by horrible brutality to
women and children and to the sick
and the aged. Whole villages were de-
ported at an hours notice, with no
opportunity to prepare for the journey
not even, in some cases, to gather to-
gether the scattered members Of the
family, SO many little children were
left behind.
I'm many cases, the men were bound
tightly together with ropes and
chains. Women with little children
in their arms or in the last days of
pregnancy, were driven along under
the whip like cattle"
Another writer tells of the cruel use
Of the bastinado in certain prison
where Armenians were held.
'.At the time of the Romans" he
writes, forty strokes were administered
at the very most; in this place, how
ever, 200. 800, 500 and even 500 strokes
were administered. A young man was
beaten to death within the space OF
ave minutes Apart from the bastina-
doing, other methods were employed,
too, such as putting hot irons on the
chest"
Another authority describes the use
of the bastinado and fire torture in the
efforts Of the Turkish authorities in an
unnamed town to extract information
as to arms in the possession OF the Ar
menians. Telling of the expulsion Of
the Armenian Inhabitants, he writes:
They tthe mem were sent on to-
ward -- in groups Of from 80 to
$50. Various reports have been circuia-
ted, the only one generally accepted be-
ing that they were killed. One Greek
driver reported seeing the mound under
which they were buried.
''On July s before the order for the
expulsion OF the. women was carried
out, went to the government

as if he was the William mentioned in

TO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE
Evidently Mr. Jimso Was to Get a Plentiful Quantity of Fresh
 Air That Night.

Mr. Jimso was in the habit of at tending meetings which often de- tained him after the usual hour of re- tirement. One night he was exceed ingly late, and his wife, after fretting herself into temper, went to bed, determined to give her husband a lesson. When she had been upstairs, about ten minutes she heard knock, so, putting her head out of the win dow, she inquired:
 Is that you, Tom?"
 Yes, Kate; come and open the door," was the answer.
 What has kept you out so late?" asked his wife.
 "We have been discussing the real benefits of fresh air." answered he.
 Well, returned his better half, you can lecture tomorrow night from experience, and down went the win dow with a bang.

Stop using calomel It makes you sick. Don't lose days work. If you feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti- pated, listen to mel
 Calomel is mercury or quicksilver which causes necrosis of the bones. Calomel, when it comes into contact with sour bile, crashes into it, breaking it up. This is when you feel that aw- ful nausea and cramping. If you feel "al1 knocked out" if your liver is tor pid and bowels constipated or you have headache, dizziness, coated tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour just try a spoonful of harmless Dodson's Liver Tone.

Hearing of the petition of the Ar kansas Railroad Commission for an interpretation of Judge Jacob Trieb- CTS modifiactcation order in the Fris- co rate case probably will be heard in Little Rock the third week in Sep tember, according to letter from Judge Trieber received by w. F. Me Knight, member of the commission. Judge Trieber said he is being detain- ed in Denver, Colo, by the hearing of a case in equity, but that he expects to be in Little Rock the latter part of next week or the week following and will hear the petition then The date of the hearing has been changed sev- eral times.
 The case arose over the refusal of the Frisco railroad to put into effect the same joint rates and switching charges provided in the old court tar if of 1907. When Judge Trieber or dered the road to replace it's tariff, known as the Frisco tariff. with the old court tariff, the road contended he meant only the freight rates and not joint and switching rates. The com mission appealed for an interpreta- tion. Members of the commission say the refusal of the road to put in the rates already has cost shippers of the state thousands of dollars.

 Should Arkansas be called upon to furnish her quota of troops for the United States, the present State mill tia would be an excellent nucleus, y says Lieut.. l. Lawrence of the Ninth Infantry, who had charge of the joint camp of instruction and target prac- tice at Fort Logan H. Roots during the last sixty days. Lieutenant Lawrence was ordered to Fort Roots from Lare- do Tex, where his regiment is sta toned, to instruct the Arkansas mili- tiamen during their annual eneamp- ment.
 The personnel of the Arkansas mi litia is excellent" continued Lieuten- ant Lawrence. "The men are strong and unafraid of work. The officers are well educated, both along civil and military lines, and when it is consid- Tered that they must get their military education at odd times the progress they have made is remarkable.
 Considering the equipment and the opportunities for instruction afforded the Arkansas militia, it is in excel lent condition. They are not afraid of work and are eager to learn" , Lloyd England, adjutant general, has requested the Southern Department of Military Affairs to assign Lieuten- ant Lawrence to coach the team the -yssete is to send to the national shoot inc matcbas ai Jacksonville, Fla.

The annual camp Of instruction for the Arkansas National Guard, held at Fort Logan H. Roots, has closed. The six battalions of the guard, approxI- mately HOO officers and men, each spent 10 days in drilling and rife shooting. Officers say the school was one of the most successful ever held. There was practically no sickness, and the work done was of a high order. The companies which left the camp were from Little Rock, Beebe, Dermott and Springdale. This month rife shooting contest will be conducted among those making the best scores during the eneampment. At this con test there will be selected a team to represent the guard at the national rifle shoot at Jacksonville, Fla, in Oc- tober.
