WILLIAMS TEACHES

Further steps toward the re-organi-
zation Of the Adult Bible class Of the
Grace Methodist Sunday school, were
taken yesterday morning. c. o. Will

several years, consented to assume the
duties for another year, although he
had asked to be relieved. It was de-
cided to elect an assistant teacher,
but the election was not held yester-
day. A president of the class, to sue

In my opinion, at least one week

approve of this suggestion" he said.
1.-THE plan has never been discussed
by the club, but feel safe in saying
that the club members will do every
thing in their powerto make the cele-
bration a success"
Bavis Praises Idea.
President Bavis of the board OF pub
lie works also expressed the hope that
the proposed celebration would be
most pretentious one. There are
many things which can be done to
observe Richmond's centennial" said
Mr.. Bavis, but l sincerely hope that
the opportunity to erect beautiful
archway at Glen Miller park, in OBJ
servance Of the founding of Richmond
and as a tribute to our gallant citizens
who served in the civil war will not be
overlooked" "'L - '''" .'"
No one was more enthusiastic in in
dorsing the centennial proposal than
Prof.. j. r: Giles, superintendent OF
the city schools. For some time Mr..
Giles has been proposing the holding
of an historical pageant on large
scale next year in celebration of the
centennial anniversary of 1ndiana's adj
mission into the union as a state. He
said that he did not know until today
that next year was also the one hun
dredth anniversary Of the founding Of
Richmond.
THAT is an additional incentive for
a municipal celebration in Richmond
next year. and I will do everything in
my power to make 1t a complete sue
cess. An historical pageant, In which
hundreds of school children could par
ticipate, would review the important
events in the history Of the state and
city and would be a most unique
event. Any number Of people have as
sured me that they will give every as

Of the pageant l would suggest that

Boston, Mass, Dec. 23.-The German
government on August 8 filed at Con-
stantinople protest against the Turk
fish treatment of Armenians, according
to DR.. James l.. Barton, chairman of
the national committee for Armenian
and Serbian relief. who today made
public the text of the protest.
In statement quoting the official
statement transmitted by the German
embassy, DR.. Barton says that Count
Ernst Won Reventlow, a German naval
expert. in a recent statement published
in the Tages Zeitung. strongly defends
Turkeys massacre of the Armenians
on the basis OF military necessity. and
adds:
"One wonders whether Won Revent-
low knows that throughout the length
and breadth of the Turkish empire,
after the men (who only were capable
of revolution but who according to
every known evidence did not revolt
had nearly all been disposed OF, the
attack fell upon the widows and orph-
ans. who were driven from their homes
by hundreds. of thousands. at the point
Of the bayonet.

knows that fully one-half of these
refugees miserably perished from vio-
lence, exposure and starvation?

J. Ham. Lewis Takes Slam
at Unpatriotic Americans

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. %. I'm
patriotic influences fostered by native
born, Americans growing out of the
lack of harmony among classes and
resulting in "an order of universal
condemnation" were held largely
responsible in an address here last
night by Sen. James Hamilton Lewis,
of Illinois. for the activities of foreign
born citizens condemned in President
Wilson's recent address to congress.
1T Is appropriate" said Senator
Lewis, who spoke before the New Eng
land Society Of Pennsylvania, ito call
born American citizen has been the
educator Of the foreign born adopted
American citizen"
For the last ten years" he continu-
ed. ''there has been nothing in Am
erica which the native born American
could find to praise. Everything has
been unworthy of support or credit.
This order Of universal condemnation
has been divided into two classes:
First, the powerful, holding their
power from wealth or the accident of
position could see nothing in the de-
mand of the masses for justice except
the cry of anarchy. They ever con-
demned the effort to equalize the
privileges and opportunities of men as
the: protest of socialism. They con-
cluded their arraignment of the poor
for justice. the middle class for op-
portunity, and those who struggled for
the Acknowledgement of the laws of
man and God. as either ignorance or
crime.
Here began the first damnation by
one set of Americans OF the other
class in order to avoid listening to
their complaints Or respecting their
grievances. Then followed the natural
revenge. The under classes. cried out
their condemnation against everything
that was property or prosperous. This

women throwing their babies into riv-
ers or over precipices to save them
from the impending horror Of continued
existence.
HE cannot have known that on
August of this year. in Constantine
ople, the German ambassador in the
name of his imperial master filed a
protest against these horrors with the
Turkish government, couched in the
following words:
"The German embassy regrets to
have to realize that, according to in
formation received from impartial and
reliable sources, acts of violence such
as massacres and plumbers, which could
not be justified by the aim that the i'm
perial government was pursuing, in
stead of being checked by the local
authorities. regularly followed the ex-
pulsion of Armenians, so that most Of
them perished before reaching their
destination. 1t is chiefly from the prov
inces of Trebizond, Diarbekir and Erze-
roum that these facts are reported; in
some places, as in Mardin, all Christ
ians without distinction of race or re-
ligion had the same fate.
"'At the same time the imperial gov
ernment has thought it right to extend
the measure of expatriation to Me
other provinces Of Asia Minor and very
recently the Armenian villages of the
district of limit. near the capital, have
been evacuated under similar con-
ditions.
Under such circumstances the
German embassy by order of it's gov
ernment is obliged to demonstrate once
more against these acts of horror

Parcel Post iPaet,of CARGO.

London, Dec 2S.--It is understood In
official circles here that the British
government will take a. definite stand
on the principle that parcel post mat
ter must be regarded as part of the
cargo rof a ship and not entitled to the
protection given first-class mail under
the international postal, convention.
The mail seized recently from the
Swedish American steamer Stockholm
consisted, according to the British gov
ernment. of the parcel post containing
goods Of. German origin. 1t Is be-
lieved that the mail seized from the
Danish steamer United States comes
under the same category. =.
According to the contention Of the
government. here snone of her postal
conventions cover parcel post matter,
so that such traffic is entitled to no
more protection than ordinary freight.
1t lis pointed out by the authorities
here that If parcel post traffic were
permitted unrestricted it might
develop into formidable trade be-
tween, Germany and neutral countries.
