Savage Kurds Are
Wild Roamers OF
Asiatic Turkey

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 12.-Tht
Kurds, who, report says, are again en-
gagged in their favorite occupation Of
slaughtering Armenians, men, women
and children, are described in the wal
primer issued blythe National Geo.
graphic society today, as follows:
THE Kurds are survival from the
days when self-respecting men lived
only, or at least principally, by the
sword. Their wild tribes are scattered
throughout Asia Minor, acting -
thwart the most modest efforts of the
land toward modern comfort, securi y
and organization Although once fabu-
lousy rich, the country has not bee /
able to bring forth a sufficiency durins :
all the years that the Kurds haveprac
ticed their untamed housekeeping here,
a Housekeeping that has consisted n
abandoning the summer tent for the
winter cottage, after preliminaries Of
killing the owner and his family, and
the replenishing of goods and stores
at the point of rifle, the transaction
usually followed by the burning of the
looted shop.
THE Kurd is a picturesque citizen.
and, whatever his numbers may be-
census matters in Turkey are indefinite
he is much more in evidence than
the Armeniahs and other people among
whom he lives. The Kurd is the trav-
eler's first impression in Asia Minor.
and, in most cases, he remains the pre-
dominant one. The Kurds wear clothes
of vivid colors; they also wear rags,
that is, the poorer ones, of the most
reckless nondescription. The Kurds
ride the best horses; they are always
armed; they bully the Armenians, the
travellers and the overload Turks them
selves.

FOREIGNERS WORK

PARIS, Oct. 12-In order to secure

Gently began the experiment of en-
ploying native laborers from Cochin,
China, Anam and Tonkin. Fifty OF
them were sent to the aeronautic and
munftion shops at Tarbes, Castres anc

lions and a second batch of 500 were
sent to France. They will be followed
by 1000 others and soon the number o.
native workers will exceed 10000.

OPINION OF JUDGE

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct 12.-Taking
the ground that criminal is not a
normal human being but is one who is
morally deficient and opposing the in
discriminate extension of the honor
convict" system, Judge F. E. Prick OF
the Supreme court of Utah, here today
addressed the convention of the Amer

AS soon as a moral weakling is
discovered our first efforts should be
to overcome his weakness before il

little hope of ever reforming a con-
firmed criminal
In view that there are some AMONG
those who are sentenced to prison who
have sincere desire to avoid further
crimes, there are many, among which
number are some prison officials, who
have conceived the idea that all men
are the same and since some can be
trusted all may be, and, therefore, al

Such a method of dealing with con-

himself. To thus deal with that class
is merely to tempt them. To say to

winter, he movevs to the Mesopotan

An Uncertain Trail

Secretary Lansing conferred today

department Of justice intends to SIT
the case to find the hackers Of the new
revolution. Where the trail might lead
in the United States is only matter
of conjecture. All officials were stead
lastly silent on that feature, but it is
generally believed by those in close
touch with Mexican affairs. that the
coup was to have the financial support
of some prominent American interests.
Official information was disclosed
that weeks ago. Huerta in apparent
seclusion at his country place on Long
Island offered his services to General
Iturbide, one of the exile colony in
New York and at the same time sent
an emissary to Washington to ask if
he would be persona grata to this gov
eminent if he took a part in Mexican
affairs.
Iturbide declined Huerta's company
and simultaneously Washington sent
word to the former dictator that he
would be persona non grata-decidedly
so. Immediately thereafter, the official
advices here say, Huerta renewed his
offer to 1turbide with a modified pro-
posal that Iturbide accept Huerta's aid

The disposition sought by the in
structions of August 25th for the re-
sumption of the offensive was then
realized. The line escaped the project

army, that now assumed an envelop-

strong support in their contact with
Paris on the left and Verdun on the
right. AT once the general-in-chief
decided to begin the attack, and on
the evening Of September 4th gave

reality nothing but an appeal to the
devotion Of the troops:
AT the moment when battle upon
which the safety Of the country de-

for all to recall that the moment to
look behind has passed. All efforts
should be employed to attack and
push back the enemy. Troops that
can no longer advance should at any

themselves be killed on the spot rather
than retire. Under the present cir
