dered his resignation to the Wash
burn board of trustees to become Of
fective September 5.
The position carries with it an in
creased salary and better opportunity
for special work. A large number of
well known law experts applied for
the position.
The Washburn law school has en-
joyed a remarkable growth in the
six years under Dean Arthur. The
maximum attendance up to the
time he took charge was forty.
The enrolment in the year
1914-1915 was $50. Under the
mana gemeFt of Dear Arthur the
school was moved from it's old and in
adequate quarters at 11S West Eighth
avenue to 725-727 Kansas avenue,
and two years ago to the present
quarters in the building formerly oc-
cupied by the Bell Telephone COM
pany.
Dean Arthur established night
classes and instituted summer school
work-without additional pay. The
growth of the school has but just
begun, according to him. He predicts
a future for the school. Dean Arthur
has previously refused several good
offers at other institutions. He has
shown his loyalty towards Washburn
college.

MAD. G. J. WALKERS LECTURE.

The lecture on NEGRO Women in
Business" by Madam c. ]. Walker
of Indianapolis, the noted hair cul-
turist and foremost business woman
in this country, at Pilgrim Baptist
church Thanksgiving night was not
very largely attended, owing to num-
erous counter attractions. But those
who were there enjoyed a rare treat
in listening to Madam Walker tell
how she started in business and
how she managed to reach the high
plane in the business world she now
occupies. A portion of her lecture
was illustrated with stereoptican
pictures showing Madam Walkers
business and residence properties,
which were manipulated by her
granddaughter, Miss May Robinson,
of New York. The madam is a very
pleasing speaker, and her auditors
were delighted.
DR.. V. D. Turner was master of
ceremonies and made some very
pertinent remarks.
The program was augmented by a
very fine organ solo by Mrs. S. E.
Hall, recitation by Master Herbert
Foster and a solo by Mrs George
Grissom The lecture was under the
auspices of the Ladies' Aid society.
Madam Walker devotes the proceeds
of her lectures to charitable pur-
poses.

"PARtSIAN FlIRTS."
The Attraction at the Star Theatre
Next Week.

Charles Robinson and his merry
"'Parisian Flirts" are sure of a cor
dial welcome by the patrons of the
Star theatre, where this estimable
production is underlined as the next
attraction, commencing Sunday, Nov
%. This is not the least surprising
when it is taken into consideration
that Mr.. Robinson always provides a
good show. This season he has
gone to a larger expense than ever.
A two-act burletta is offered this
year with excellent vaudeville acts
sandwiched in, entitled "The Pari-
sian Flirts..'' The skit has been en-
bellished with special scenery, light
ing and electrical effects. Fifteen
song hits and other gingles are in
terspersed during the action of the
burlesque while the choristers, COM
posed of twenty-five shapely and
stunningly gowned young. women,
come in for considerable share of
praise. They possess in addition to
their good looks, real talent and
sweet voices. In its entirety the
show is far the best that has come
, to town in some time. Matinees as
usual.

THE ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.

An American professor in one of the American
colleges in Turkey tells of the Staying of Armenians
by Turkish chettahs, who murderers released
from prison for the express purpose of preying on
these unhappy people. For many years the name of
cities. During Cleveands second administration the
people of the United States were Mortified by the
bloody persecution of Armenian Christians in Asiatic
Turkey Congress called for investigation which
conducted by American consul. American bat
teships sent near the scene as possible and
afforded haven for refugees Our state department
took up the matter with the sultan and got promises
of protection American citizens, there mission
aries, and pledges of indemnity for American prop
arty destroyed in the uprislngs The Turkish
ment dsavowed responsibility for these uprsings.
Mr.. Cleveland in three annual messages to Congress
depored the situation, but pointed out that the up
yisings spasmodic and that this country could
not maintain force at hand adequate to them,
and that America could deal only with injury to the
persons and property of American citizens.
The powers of Europe had agreements with
Turkey under which they we're authorized to protect
Armenian Christians regardless of their citizenship
The United States, while enjoying certain of the
extraterritoria privileges allowed Europeans,
not a party to these conventions. Before entering
the present Turkey denounced all the agreements
and asserted its independent sovereignty The United
States is powerless 1t may sever diplomatic rela
tons but Turkey will care little for that. 1t knows
that its subjects in America will be given hui
name treatment than they ever had at home. Its
extradton privileges are vaueless, for the United
States would not receive immigrant anybody
from Turkey charged with an extradtable offense
1t will not feel the disgrace of being regarded
outlaw. It is hard to see how we can help the Ar
menians.

KILLING THE PHILIPPINE TRADE.

An additional argumnt for the repeal or at least
drastic amendment, of the La Toilette seamens law
appears in a letter which the India House of New
York received from of its members leading
business of Manila These merchants in their
dealings with the United States dependent upon
the service furnished by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, whose vessels for many years regularly
called for passengers and freight at Manila and other
Oriental ports. The La Toilette law, in advance of
its going into effect next month has put the Pacific
Mail of business because the realized that
would be impossible for American ships to operate
in competition with those employing Asiatic crews
and receiving government subsidies
Even before the Pacific Mail people quit there
was not enough cargo for the Philippine bust
ness, and freight consigned to Manila had lain for
weeks at San Francisco waiting for bottoms 1t is
easy believe that conditions far worse today
On the other hand, there has already been decline
the value of Philippine products owing to the fact
that they cannot reach the American market, and
the cost of storage is added burden. The La

Molly Pitcher
Copyright. 1915.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

one of The most picturesque pa
triotlc characters in American his
tory was Molly Pitcher. who was horn
In Pennsylvania, October lS, 1744. Her
name was Mary Ludwig to bsgin with,
nd the surname Pitcher seems TO
have been given her in honor of the
pitcher with which she carried water
TO the thirsty soldiers on that me-
mortal day at the battle of Monmouth.
However, recent historians assure us
that 1t was in reality pail that she
used. Mary Ludwig began her career
as a servant in the family of General
William Irvine. in Carlisle, Pa, and
at the age of twenty-five she was
married to a barber of the name of
Hays. In the Revolutionary War he
served as gunner and Molly fol-
lowed him to the front. There was
nothing at all unusual in this, foI.
frequently women of Molly's class fol-
lowed their husbands in order to pick
up living doing laundry work for
the officers.
However, at the battle OF Mon
mouth, y. J.. when the thermometer
stood at sc in the shade there was

ing" said Thomas L. James, for
merly postmaster general of the
United States, TO me at time when
he was speaking of the extraordinary
intellectual and charming tempera-
mental qualities of Mr.. Phelps. I'VE
became good friends and were brought
into some association politically By
reason of the fact that We were both
interested in cur party success and
both took active part as citizens and
as Republicans in the politics of one
of the districts of upper New Jersey,
where We lived.
Occasionally ] heard Mr.. Phelps
speak in public. and the oftener l
heard him the more strongly con-
vinced l was that had he chosen to
give himself up exclusively to public
speaking he would have ranked among
the ablest and most convincing and
attractive of tine public speakers of
his time.
what especially impressed me
when | heard Mr.. Phelps speak was
his complete mastery of his subject,
and also a most convincing spon-
taneity, directness and clearness Of
utterance. He used almost Bible
English, SO to speak. but he used it
so that at times it seemed almost like
poetry.
Il remember ON one occasion, when
he was a member of the House of
Representatives OF Washington, he
encountered in debate one of the
leaders upon the other side and got
the best of hin1-so much so that this
leader was very much disconnected.
He even attributed a personal motive
