ARMENIANS FOUGHT
OF OWN vOLITI0N

Dilman, Azebaijan, Persia, May
27.-Unlike the Belgians, the deci-
mated Christians of Azerbaijan and
Armenia fought Of their own voli-
ton. For a hundred years they
have longed for the coming of the
Russians. Volunteers were organ
lied by the Armenians boldly, by the
HISTORIANS under home pressure.
The latter supplied $50 drilled men
at their own cost, and, if they may
be believed, rendered good service.
Three thousand rifles were issued to
the villagers from Russian arsenals
and thousands were employed in for
tifying Urmia.
At Tabriz there was no massacre
and little pillage, thanks to the en-
ergy and diplomatic skill of Gordon
Paddock, the American consul, and
the flight of the Tabriz Christians on
the Chaussee was comparatively un-
eventful. Mr.. Paddock delayed the
entry of the Kurds, practically re-
strained the Persian government
from flight and was then able to
hold the local Moslems in check.
Finally he went to the bazar, where
there were upwards of 5000 shops,
and stopped the pillage. Gen. Cher
nozuboff and all the foreign colony
at Tabriz unanimously agreed that
Mr.. Paddock's services were invalu-
able.
The Kurds and Turks at Tabriz
followed the Russians, whose retreat
was stopped after the victory at
Sarykamysh had halted the advance
on Kars. Gen. Chernozuboff drove
them with machine guns from a can
on, eight miles long, which forms the
pass between Julia and Tabriz, at
the same time sending Gen. Ofrosi-
moff around the mountains to fall
upon the Turkish flank. This COM
bined attack, skilfully planned and
executed, annihilated the invaders
OF Tabriz. About 1900 to 1000
perished in irrigation bitches before
the city.
The butchery and devastation in
salinas were directed by Turkish Of
ncers and carried out by Turkish SOL
olers and local moslems. In addition
70 unanimous local testimony, the
insulting phrases written in correct
french on the walls of the desolated
homan Catholic mission at Hosrova,
/ are conclusive.

BELGIANS STILL
ENJOY COCK FIGHTS
(By Associated Press, ,

Brussels, May q. Even the hor-
rors of war cannot drown in the soul
of the Belgian peasant the 10y of
witnessing cock fight. Promptly
with the advent of May the old-time
cock fights began again, but they
had to be ordered stopped.
The prohibition order, however,
has merely driven the cock fighters
into seclusion where they have to be
hunted out by the authorities. The
latter seek to stop the fights because
they invite gambling and rob the
farmers of money needed for other
things.

RED" SMITH. THIRD SACKER OF
 THE BRAVES. 25 TOMORROW

MT. J. Carlisle Smith is a pretty cute monaker, and gives an air of distinction and eclat to even so com mon a label as Smith. Alas, for the vulgarity of rude ball players and irreverent fans, MT. J. Carlisle was never able to get by with it, and he figures in diamond history as Red" Smith. The eminent third -ba seman of the Boston Braves, whose injury on the eve of the last worlds series spread consternation and dismay among the National league fans, is, like his chief, a southerner by birth and residence. Red was born near Greenville, s. C., and will be twenty five years old tomorrow. He now re- sides in Atlanta, Ga, and it was with the club of the Georgia metropolis that he broke into professional base ball.
 Smith made his National league debut with Brooklyn, and in 1913 he batted .296 for the Superbas and proved himself fast and clever field CT. Last year his work with Brooklyn was cratic, and the report was spread about that Charles Holiday Ebbets was willing to part with his third sacker for a very fair consider ation. Charlie Deal, who was then covering the third sack for the Braves, was afflicted With a b ad case of Charlie horse, and Gaffney was look ing about anXiously for a man to take his place. The boss of the Braves had deal on with Pittsburg for Mike MoWrey when he heard that Red" was on the market. When Gaffney approached Ebbets and hinted that he might buy Smith if the price was right MT. Ebbets could barely restrain himself from falling on the Brave magnate's chest and weeping tears of joy. That was just how much MT. Ebbets thought of J. Carlisle.
 But, 10, and, also, behold, The minute the Brooklyn "has-been'' had got inside of a Brave uniform he be- gan to sit up and take observations. The atmosphere of Boston, or some thing, put "pep'' into his work, and he began fielding like a house af1re Also, he developed a habit of swatting the pellet for extra bases, and before the 1914 season had passed into his tory he had accumulated twenty-siX doubles, nine triples and seven com plete circuits
 1t was probably the banning of the crowd that got Smiths angora in Brooklyn. Early in the 1914 season ne made few misplays and pulled Q bone or two, and then the Superba 1ans were down upon him like ton of brlckS.

distance events there are enough good men to insure the Tigers the advan- tage over Yale. J. E. Madden, Jr., son of the well-known horseman, is. a sprinter of great natural ability. There are other capable men in Snowden and Charles. Snowden was a star on his freshman team and has latent possibilities which may show this season. George M. Church, the intercollegiate tennis champion, and A. w. Stewart are the best men in the hurdles. Church has improved greatly since he started track work; Stewart runs in excellent form, but is still a trif1e slow in sprinting.
 Billy Moore, the former De Witt Clinton High School star, is expected to run as brilliantly as he has done in the indoor relay season. Moore is one of the best quarter -milers ever at Princeton and will be the mainstay of the Tigers in that event both in the Yale meet and in the intercollegiate Monty Hayes and in Atha, also mem bers of the relay team will take care of the half-mile. Hayes has shown better form than ever before in the indoor season and is one of the teams surest point winners. Capt MacKen- zie will probably run in the half-mile as well as in the mile. He is going as we'll as last season, when he scored a first against Yale. Morrison, who has been doing consistent work on the Varsity for two seasons, is the best of the two-milers.
