DOES NOT RECALL SUCH

II do not recall. possibly because
am ignorant Of them,-but do not re-
cali any names Of similar import
among Armenian Christians
why, then. does the world become
aroused over the misery OF a half mil
lion Armenian Christians, and look on
with indifference upon the misery and
martyrdom OF five times that number
of Russian Jews? Can 1t be possible
that it is only because the one class
is Christian and the other is motor
that because the one tyrant is Mo-

But surely America is free from the

TRIBUTE TO MoRGENTHAU
American Ambassador to Constanti-
nople Is Highly Praised for Activi-
ties In Behalf OF DOwntrodtlen

In an address at Beth AhrDah Tenn
pie, last night, DR.. l.. y. Calisch strik-
inEly compared the attitude OF the
world to the present reports OF Turkish
massacres in Armenia to the protests
winch were made Of persecution of
Jews In Russia. His topic vas AR
'nenian Christians and Russian Jews
Wherein Do They Differ
He said in part:
1T was to be believed that the doc 4
uines of right and justice and liberty
had. in this twentieth century, pro-
crossed SO far that no person or group
or persons would be prosecuted for
sake OF conscience or religious belief.
Yet 1t has remained for russia and
Turkey TO deny this hope Of mankind
and SKATER this belief.
The stories OF the Turkish pcrSc-
'ution of Armenian Christians and
Russian persecution OF her jewish citi-
@cns arc unspeakably narrowing.
VIVID DESCRIPTIONS OE
ARMENIAN ANTIQUITIES
The newspapers and periodicals are
iull OF reports Of the Turkish Dersccu-
tons In detail and with the vivid
Imagery of. writer's. They have aroused
the horror aud resentment Of the

ica. II Is interesting to note that Mr..
Norgenthau. a Jew, our ambassador to
Turkey. not only suggested this, but
has been SO active and energetic In
protection OF Christians generally,
their lives and property, the mission
aries and their buildings and colleges.
that he has been accorded votes OF
thanks from the churches and convcn-
lions.
Now, TO turn TO Russian Jews 1t
vas at first believed that they were
offering only from natural and newt
able conditions accompanying warfare,
such as any people suffer when war
brings battles and invasion Of their
land and homes. But the terrifying
and well-nlgh incredible part OF il is.
that in the midst Of her military activi-
ties, the Russian government takes
time and strength TO devil and haraSs
her Jews Russia in both her earlier
victories and later defeats. should Ger
tainly have endeavorcd to unite her
people. But she did not. II Was TO be
expected that she would rake the
Jews the scapesoats in her defeats. but
that her officials should take time to
indulge in the fearful! Outrages that
tiey have seems simply madness"

cruelty with which Russia IS treating

THINKS MISSING SPOUSE
HAS COMMITTED BIGAMY

Local labor circles were consider
ably stirred about a year ago by the
appearance in the local armament OF
q new star OF hope in the person OF
Norman Grantham, who conducted q
series Of lectures in the interest OF
labor and achieved something of q
reputation as an orator. Soon after
his arrival he made ardent love to q
pretty east side girl and they were
married. About two months ago the
stork paid them visit, and Grant
ham appeared to be very happy.
One day, about two weeks ago,
Grantham left the house. ostensibly
to get some medicine for the baby.
and failed to return. Mrs. Grantham.
on Jan. %, secured warrant for his
arrest. charging him with abandon
ment, but the police we're unable to
get any trace of the lecturer.
Friday morning, Mrs. Grantham
called at police headquarters on a
very urgent mission. She had copy
of q Savannah. Ca, paper, which con-
tanned an elaborate account Of the
marriage of Norman Grantham and
Elsie Robin, a pretty telephone oper-
ator, and told Of q contemplated
13,0O-mile lecture tour. on which Mr.
Grantham would be accompanied by
his bride.
At Mrs. Grantham's request, the
police telegraphed the Savannah au-
thorities to arrest the lecturer. and
II he proves to be the missing De-
troit man he probably will face q
charge of bigamy.
