NONE are suffering more from the
war than the Armenians. Turks are
given permission by the government
to treat them as they like and they in
licentious frenzy are everywhere
carrying 90 campaigns of assault, tor
ture and murder. Civilized nations are
helpless, but the Turks are making
their last stand and once they are
crushed the poor Armenians will know
peace and security for the first time.

 A letter from Charles McClashan, of Brooklyn. Long Island. and J. Da- wis of Salem, dated Sarne Louis.

washington. Jan. 2O-The house IAcent1pede, although disagreeable in appearance, feeds on small cock roaches, the typhoid fly. and other still more disagreeabla insects and therefore would not seem altogether an undesirable visitor in one'S house. However, as one Of the Department of Agricu1ture's entomologfsts says in 3 recent Farmers Bulletin (No- 6279 dealing with this insect, tits uneanny appearance is hardly calculated to inspire confidence, and It will un- questionabIy bite in se1f-defence. al- though very few eases of it's having bitten any human being are on rec ord.a It does not feed on household goods and wooIens. although many housewives hold this belief.
 The house centipede5 is a southern species, its natural home being in the klatttude of Texas. but it has slowly q spread northWard, and having { reached New York and Massachu- ssetts about 80 years ago it is now Every common in these states and ex- ketends westward well beyond the E Mississippi It is very delicate EcreatureN and almost impossible to kcatch, having worm-ike body about an inch long of a gTayish yell How color. The name ..centipede'' sis misleading. as it does not possess a hundred legs, but no more than 30 although the speed at which it travels across the floor does not give kthe. ordinary observer sufficient time to count them. It's head is armed ] with a pair of very long, slender efeelers.' = The bulletin advises the housekeeper who feels that the centi- < pede has become a pest tn her house to use fresh pyrethrum powder near Ebathroons, closets, cellars, conserva- Etories, and storerooIns where it may k71ide itself. The suggestion is also tgfven that all moist places should be kept free from any objects such as flower pots, mops. or dirty rags be- hind which the insect may conceal l itself.
 It is very questionable whether the centipede would ever, unprovoked. attack any human being or other with the bare hand or foot or is {probabIy bite and a few cases on record show that severe swelling and pain may result. for the insect be- f1ongs to a poisonous group of centi-
 pedes The wound can hardly be called dangerous, however, and Y prompt dressing with ammonia is recommended to alleviate the dis agreeable symptoms. The centipede < is in one respect like a spider in that it springs after its prey and is very rapacfous. Trained observers have noticed that in capturing such a pest as a. cockroach. the eentipede springs
 over. it's prey, inc1osfng and caking it with it's many legs after which it de- kvours it's victim In the act of de- tvourfng moth if has been observed to keep it's numerous long legs vii l0Satlng with incredible swiftness,

OWL CARS? WHY,

The Connecticut Go. Runs It's Midnight Vehicles As a
 PhiIanthropl1y

It is improbable that Bridgeport will have owl cars, unless the presi- dent and board of directors of the Connecticut company order such a service for its political value.
 The Connecticut company, from commercial Standpoint, cleaims to be desirous of closing down it's service before the midnight hour.
 Manager Chapman today said, .I shall at once upon receipt. of formal request from the common council of Bridgeport have our traffic managers look into the situation, but am firmly convinced that to operate the IS fowl" cars as suggested by the press reports of the meeting would mean a loss to our company.

GEN. PUTNIK.

= When it became apparent that Aus tria proposed to carry her quarrel with Servia to the point of war. the Belgrade government pinned it's faith to Gen. Radumil Putnik, as com mander i'm chief of the Servian forces. That that faith was not misplaced has been proved by subsequent events, for the little Balkan nation has made a gallant and brilliant defence. Gen. Putnik was born in southern Austria in 1349, but his parents were Serbs, and most of his life has been spent in the service of Servia. Gen. Put nix had his first taste of warfare in
 1878, when Servia, took advantage of RI1ssfa's war on Turkey to rise against the domination of the hated Moslems. After a brief peace in 1877, the Servians again declared war and as a result the country was de- clared independent. with new from tiers ,in 1878. In the recent Balkan wars Gen. .Putnik became famous as one Of the foremost strategistss and military leaders of the warning na- tions and his superiority over other Servian leaders led to his appoint ment as the military head of the army. While the majority of, Servian officers have a liking for poInp and display, and like to parade them selves in the most gorgeous uniforms, Gen. Putnik has always been a man or extrefnety sInple baSIes- HIS unl- form is Of the simplest and plainest style, and he manifests a decided aversion to popular adulatton: He is a soldier of few words and much action Although it's army is com paratfve1ys small, Servia has had a great advantage in this war in that all of it's officers, from commander in chief down. have had experience in warfare under the most modern conditions.

HARTFORD BUSINESS MEN WOULD GUARD U. s. WAR SECRETS

Washington, Jan. 20-The Hart ford, Conn.,, Business Mems associa- tion is opposed to Representative Gardner's scheme to divuIge to the world all of this country's war secrets. Representative Donovan laid the as sociation's communication before the Congress today. It reads: 'In ref erence to House Joint Resolution No. 372 Introduced by the Hon. Augustus P. Gardner. providing for a National Security Commission to make a full investigation into the question of the preparedness of the United States for war and to report it's findings in Con gress, has been given due considera- tion by this association.
 We are strongly of the opinion that the resolution should not be adopt ed by the House or Representatives fer he reason that the information which it proposed that this specially appointed commission shall secure, is information necessarily in the pos session of the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of War both of whom are members of the Presidents cabinet and who upon request by Con- gress would furnish the information to Congress without cost Under the circumstances the appointment of a commission such as suggested would appear to be entirely unnecessary and would be source of needless expense to the goyernm meIt.,,

The Buechler collection of diamonds was large and beautiful as it ever was. The Buecfler diamonds are sold at absolutely fair prices-reaSonably as they can be sold anywhere. But above all, you can buy diamonds here and be perfectly sure each one shown you will be represented exactly as 1t IS -the quality of stone-the grade of color-the weight. tTwenty-four years of reputation building is not to be sac rificed by any misrepresentation how ever slight.
