the occupation by the Russians OF Van,
Turkish Armenia, bands Of kurds con-
tinued to commit atrocities in the dis
tricts of Btlis, Mush and Diarbekr.
Armenian volunteers in increasing
numbers are fighting desperately to
potect the Christian population from
the Kurds. Inhabitants Of Diarbekr,
following the example of the Arnen-
liaus in Van. have organized armed
bands.
The population of Urumiah in Per
sian Armenia, greeted the Russians
with enthusiasm Food for the refu-
gees in the American missions was
brought By the Russians. The con-
sulates al Urumiah and Van have
suffered little in the fighting during
the last few months.
The successes of the Russians in
these districts is causing disaffection
among the Persians and Arabians.
Disorders are developing.
The cancentration by the Turks OF
military efforts on the Dardanelles
has caused shortage OF arms and
ammunition for their troops in the
Caucasus. A portion of the artillery
has been removed from the Turkish
forts at Erzerum, the principal city of
Turkish Armenia.

OF the chlorine gas turned on the
French and British trenches April 22
by the Germans near Ypres. This
soldier was behind his embankment,
at Hill No. 60, when he was overcome
by the gas. Not knowing the danger,
because neither he nor any others had
experienced such a thing before, he
did not run in time. He died in his
tracks and his body was left there
after the Germans were driven out.

Editor Monroe Trotter Thrills Western
Audiences. St. Louis Argus Speaks
Glowingly of Him.
Equality l. Equality. Nothing More, Nothing Less.

We are proud of our peo-
pie for giving Mr.. T1otter
such a magnificent audience
Monday evening. We are
proud of the splendid repre-
sentation of intelligence and
commercial progress; proud
of the close and respectful
attention given the speaker;
proud of the substantial sum
of money raised to futner the
great cause he pleads.
1t was right that we should
so honor Mr.. Trotter. In so
doing, we honored not merely
him, but we honored oursel-
YES in that we endorsed a
great principle. 1t is we'll
that we keep one fact clearly
in mind-that is that segrega-
ton is and can only be, de-
grading and humiliating.
Webster once said: "In
war there are no Sundays
So in moral questions, there
are no politics, no creeds, no
| distinctions. When a great
moral question is raised, there
is no black, no white. We
are all men and women.
| All races are one-1hcy are
a unit. The white race is
part of that unit; the black
race is a part-they are one.
There is one great, terrible
fact in regard to the colored
race today; it is that millions
are Disseminated against in
this matter of segregation j.
There is nothing for the rest
of the race-the decent white
section of ito do, but to de
vote themselves to abolishing
this segregation.
Education, progress, are
worth nothing else now to
the colored man, except as
helping that argument. We
should be thrifty, industrious
successful, rich, educated
only as an argument that the
colored race has a right to a
place side by side and equal
with the white. We wish we
could impress this truth upon
every Negro. Our race is or
trial today. There are those
who say we merit only a low
er place in the social scale
The best thing the colorec
man can do, then, with his
life. with his money. with hi:
character. is to throw them
into the scale of the argu-
ment and make segregation
kick the beam.

limitations of rights or race

VIEWS OF EGYPT.

ian theology was not born,
and if it were never born per-
haps no civilization would
endure without a theology or
religion. When there are no
moral laws to hold men in
restraint they soon go to de-
cay. 1t is strange fact that
nearly all of the Egypto-
logists in their Interpretation
of this ancient civilization
give slight mention to the
fact that the statutes and i'm
ages of the kings and queens
which are found intact todoy
are nearly all Of distinct Ne

of the pyramids is not very
difficult. unless the person is
very weak in the legs or at
temp;s to carry before him

is no difficulty in going up
alone; occasionally the climb

four fee. high, but he can al
ways flank it.
This is the time you need

however, this is not enough,

When the summit is reached
this individual demands more
bachshesh than the guide.
The pyramids do not ap-
pear so massive when the Wis

thought they would be from
their mass at a distance. But

casts his eyes along the steps
of its massive sides. and up
