WHO BUILT THE CENTRAL PACIFIC

Senator Sutherland in his reply to Senator Shields during the long
debate over the shipping bill showed that even the representative .

1t is quite true that there was a great deal said about military neceS-

year, while the tolls collected were s4,-

yielded a profit of $4,000.
Another profitable phase Of the canal

a business of s6,1s0,000. upon which 1t
made a profit of about $4,000. The
commissary department maintains all
of the stores in the zone. which sell to
the employees at very reasonable prices
There are fifteen of these stores, doing
business that varies all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 year. Canal en-
ployes purchase from the commissary
by means of books or script and the
amount of these issued each month is
about $4,000 1t also sold $4,000
worth of supplies to steamships pass
ing through the canal. These govern
ment stores keep on hand a stock worth
over a million dollars, and IL you have
the good fortune to be an employe you
can BUY from them almost anything

TURKS ANDKURDSV VOW
TO KILL ALL ARMEN|ANS
Returning American Missionaries
3, Further Tell Of
70
Atrocities.

:, NEW YORK October 6.-The Turks
and Kurds are waging a holy war OF
determination on the Armenians, &C
cording to sixteen members of the
American board of foreign missions,
who have arrived from Van. Turkey. on
the Swedish steamer Hellig Olav.
Ernest Yarrow, one of the mission
aries, told how the Armenian popula-
ton of Van, numbering 1900, held out
against 5000 Kurds and Turkish COM
pany commanded by German officer
from April 20 to May II, when Rus
slams arrived and relieved the town.
I'VE had six American and two Red
Cross flags said Mr. Yarrow. land we
flew these over the missions, but they
were not respected by either of the
combatants. The Turkish company ar
rived three or four days before the
Russian relief came, and the shrapnel
from the Turk guns tore down all of
our flags.
Armenians Loot Houses.
I'VE sheltered large numbers of Ar
menian women and children, but as
soon as the Turks and Kurds had been
driven away from the town, virtually
all of the Armenians turned out to loot
the Turkish houses and duplicate the
atrocities that had previously been
practiced upon the Armenians. 1t was
with great difficulty that they were re-
strained.
The Turks and kurds have declared
holy war against the Armenians and
vowed to exterminate them. The popu-
lation of Van was poorly armed, and
We're forced to use brass and copper
trinkets to make bullets Three small
cannon We're made of scrap metal. The
supplies of ammunition were running
short. and the Russians arrived just in
time to save the Armenians from being
wiped out"
Suffer From Diseases.
Mr.. Yarrow said many Armenians
were suffering from typhus and other
diseases, and when he left conditions
almost everywhere in Armenia were
terrible. Half of the missionaries
were taken i'll during the siege, and
six of them died.
According to Mr. Yarrow many of the
atrocities practiced by the Kurds on
the Armenians were indescribable. He
confirmed all of the reports of out
RACES which have reached the United
States. and said only a portion of the
real story had been told.

The Panama Canal at Work.
ia Paying Venture.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

ANCON, September 25.-The Panama
canal is primarily great national bust
ness venture, The American people
have put millions of money and thou
sands of lives into it's construction To
an unusual extent the nation is con-
scious of the canal as a splendid thing
which it has done and which it owns.
Naturally, the American citizen wants
to know how his canal is coming along
financially; whether it is going to help
pay the federal taxes. or make them
heavier. He may now be assured that
the canal is pros9ering from a CONNER
cial point of view beyond the most daring
prophecy. Although it has been in oper-
half the shipping of the world has been
held up by war. it has actually yielded a
profit upon its operation, not counting
overheard charges
The volume Of business done as shown
by. the tolls collected month by month
Just about doubled between August. 1914,
when the canal opened. and June. 1915.
II the business of the canal goes on
increasing at anything like the same
rate, in fifteen years ii will not only
be paying a profit upon its operation and
maintenance, but will be meeting the
interest on the debt and rapidly amortiz-
ing the loan
II is costing about $4,000 a day to
fight the slides. Sooner or later. how
ever they are bound to reach an angle
Of repose Whenever that happens the
largest item of operating expense will
have been removed and profits increased
between three and four millions a year.
