COMMUNICATED,
Wonderful Liturgy of tho Holy Apos- tOlic Church of Armenia
 Explained to Laity.

St. Marks Parish House,
 21 Washington Street
 1 New Britain, Conn.,,
 December 22, 1915.
 To the Editor of the Herald,
 Sir:-An explar ation of the relation 1 of St. Marks church to the Armenians of New Britain may be of interest Most of the Armenians in the city be- long, at least by baptism and tradi- tion, to the Holy Apostolic Church" of Armenia, also called Gregor- ! ian from the name of it's early bishop or Catholicos, Gregory the Illuminator, consecrated in 302 A. D. This is one of the oldest eastern Christian churches in doctrine identical with the orthodox Greek, but not in communion with 1t. The l Episcopal church recognizes it as a sister church, orthodox in doctrine and having the ministry of the apostolic | succession. As such, we gladly give them the use of our churches and altars for their own services where as in New Britain, they have no churches of their own. Many Of them send their children to our Sun- day school. As few of the adults speak or understand English readily, it is not easy to serve them further; but our clergy are often called on for ma rTia geS and burialS, and for bap- tiSmS in extremes
 The Armenian liturgy and usages are very interesting to an American visitor, of whom there have been a few at the services in St. Marks. The entire service is chanted with elabor- ate ceremonial and incense. A pecul- far kind of blessed bread (distinct from the sacrament of holy com- munion) is distributed to all at the end of the service. This is said to be a survival from the Agape, or love feast, in primitive times associated with the Lords supper. Infants are baptized by Urine immersion in the font, and at once anointed with oil blessed by bishop, which is consid- cred by them the equivalent of con- firmation. C. E. JONES'.

ship of the United States. If the latter course is the one acceptable to Austria she hurts no one more than herself, for by severing relations with this country she at once becomes an outlaw among the nations, an outcast from the family of states. Her com mander of the submarine which tor
 pedoed the Ancona wilfu,ly broke the laws of humanity and the rules in force between the nations. By up- holding him Austria will become like wise a violator of principles and a transgressor of international law.

 LitfLe Kn0Wn 0f Zpek

"Ipek, the first Montenegrin city to fall before the invaders, is the most important city acquired by the Black mountain people for their part in the war of the Balkan league against the Ottoman empire in 1912" says a pri- mer on war geography just given out by the National Geographic society. Situated anywhere else but in the worlds most troubled peninsula, Ipek would have made name and riches as a mecca for vacantionists; for nature round about Is friendly, beautiful and varied; it's air is fresh and full of mountaineering; and the rich Mediter- ranean rfuits are grown in it's garden.
 For the sportsman, Ipek could have furnished hunting, fishing, and mountain-c climbing. For the nerve- worn patient, it could have given a bracing climate and picturesque soli- tudes. While all of these things would have made it a tempting spot to the pleasure-seeking vacationist. As an unfortunate center of unrest, how ever, where Albanian, Montenegrin, Turk and Servian kept the pot of trouble boiling year after year under
New Britain herald., 1915-12-23

an Ottoman administration that stirred the embers under the pot when these showed signs of smoldering, Ipek has remained almost entirely un- known by the world outside for the beauties of it's place.
 "Ipek lies upon the present borders of Montenegro in the east toward Serbian Prishtina. The Mokra Plaina rise high behind it to the west, and this range forms the immediate bar rier to the invaders from Ipek. On neighboring heights Is situated a fa- nous monastery in which the Serbian patriarchs formerly housed, the Ipek monastery, founded by Archbishop Arsenius in the 18th century. Many of the olden chiefs of the Serbian church are buried here, and here, also, is preserved the marble throne, upon which the patriarchs were crowned. The city lies 73 miles east-northeast of Albanian Scutari, which latter city has now become the seat of Serbian government. It has a population of about 15,000, which has been better housed and circumstanced than most of the populations in the Balkan up- lands"

 "Wo are about to show some things in the way of lingerie that will ip- tcrest the women, but may embarass tho men. The men may retire, If they choose" #

The beauteous creature rose and tugged at the nightie. Not a man budgcd.

Even The Peacemakers. (New York Worldly

The censorship of wireless dispatch es from press representatives on MT. Ford's peace ship was as exasperat- ing as anything in that line adopted by the war lords of Europe.
 Most well-informed people believe that if the diplomacy of the belliger ent nations in the summer of 1914 had been conducted openly there would have been no war. A few men in each country not only con- trolled all the sources of information but by the exercise of tyrannical DOW CT arrogated to themselves the issue of war or peace. Everything was done in haste and in the dark. Parliaments and people had no 1lter- native but to accept a decision as to which they had not been consulted.
 There will be no peace while this despotic spirit prevails. When even the self-constituted apostles of peace adopt such methods, 1t is useless t. depend too confidently upon intelli- gence and reason.

presence of so formidable 0 danger from outside.
 And here are MT. Roosevelts par tlsan views reiterated by all sorts of minor partisans, in every part of the land until 1t sometimes almost seems as if it were the duty of the nation to go to war, to please who would ride into power because there is no war.
 George Washington never knew that one George P. Mclean would on a time be a senator from Connecticut But he did know that party spirit might cause a senator to exclaim that "hostile goods are more dangerous than hostile guns"
 Washington did not know that Con- necticut was to have governor named Holcomb, but he did know that rarty spirit might lead governors into such extravagances, as to declare that the flag of their country is the laugh ing stock of the old world, and to say of their country, by implication, that it is ''the only animal except the sheep which does not care for its young"
 The nation occupies a difficult posi- tion. The government, which views the whole area and sees the whole in- stead of part, is patiently doing the hest it can for America. In this it needs the help of every American. Should war come the turmoil of par tisanship would be stilled, and America would be a unit before the world.
 But how much better it will be if America is a unit for the prevention, and if partisanship is stilled now, be- fore it has done any more damage.
 It is a sorrowful confirmation of Washington's fears, that the party spirit has led many otherwise good Americans, to seek promotion at the expense of the .country's unity, when the country confronts grave perils.
