FEARFUL MORTALITY
 RATE AMONG 10000. IN URUM|AH MISSION
Presbyterian Board of For eign Missions Receives Re- port on Condition of
 Refugees in Persia

New York, April 9.-s'A fearful rntc of mortality among the 10000 refu- gees crowded into the yards of the American mission at Urumiab. where, find accommodation, is reported in R missionary's report received here today through the Washington state depart ment by the Presbyterian board of for eign missions.
 So great was the menace. the com munication says, that for 8 while it was unsafe for any one to leave the premises and the bodies of the dead could not be buried Later when the way was opened, one missionary was kept busy attending to burials.
 At times on an average of 40 refugees died every day.
 The communication described in de- tail the flight of Christians. not only from Urumiah but from Azerbajan prov ince after the withdrawal of the Russian troops
 "Of the thousands" says the com munication, who were forced to re- main behind, their villages being so situated that flight was impossible; of those murdered in cold blood and with cruel tortures by the Kurds; of the wom- en and children carried off and of the children lost and the families separated in the time of this terrible catastrophe, only the future can give us a correct roll. All who could fled the city and found the one shelter that gave them the best hope of safety. That was our American mis- sion property, guarded by the American flag. and what was even more potent than the flag, the position of influence and confidence earned by long years of serv- ice by our missionaries
 Tt is estimated that in all 12, 900 took refuge in our mission impounds of Urumiah, while 5000 more were given shelter at the French mission. Those who took refuge with us were un- harmed, while villages were being plum dered and hurned and hundreds of lives were being lost"
 The communication points out that all these refugees have to be fed three tons of bread daily being used in keep ing them from starvation.
 The letter asks that the Red Cross society be informed and that the board of foreign missions send S50,000 for inn mediate needs.

BRITISH PRISONERS
 COMPLAIN AGAINST
 GERMAN TREATMENT

London, April 10-(2:55 a. m.)-"A white paper concerning treatment of British prisoners in Germany, issued here, gives a series of letters, documents and cor respondence between the British govern ment and Walter Hines Page, the Ameri- can ambassador.
 The correspondence covers seven months and fills S7 pages of the white paper" It purports to show that Germany sys- tematically withheld information regard ing the condition of British prisoners and even declined to permit an American diplomatic representative to carry out an examination of the war prisoners in Germany in a manner similar to that per- mtted by Great Britain.

clared, could exercise the same author ity. even if he were desrous of for bidding the eXportation of arms to all belligerents, as to do so without au- thority from Congress would be uncon- stitutional
 The viewpoint of the American gov ernment has been from the outset that its position with respect to the shipment of arms has been enforced impartially as to all belligerents, and Secretary Bryan's letter to Chairman Stone of the Senate foreign relations committee discussing this point, con tended that if the Germanic allies were unable to enjoy the same advantages as to the delivery of arms into their country, this was due to the naval superiority of Great Britain and not to any circumstances over which the United States had any control.

HUDSON NOTES

Marion, April 9.-(Special. 1.-The April
 picnic this year was held in the audi
 torium, as it was too cold outside. Dr.
 DeLoach, personal friend of the natural ist, John Burroughs, was present and
 gave lecture, illustrated with fine views, on "Out of Doors with John Burroughs"
 which was exceedingly interesting. A dinner was given the speaker by Mrs.
 Bomar and an afternoon reception by the girls of the Altrurian club, under whose auspices the lecture was given.

 mittee of the Alabama state association. besides many teachers in the schools too
 numerous to mention who were present
 at the meeting in Montgomery.
 Mrs. Kings music history class had a
 written discussion lately as to the pre-
 eminence of Schumann or Schubert, Misses Asbury and Love maintaining the
 superiority of Schumann, and Misses
 Johnson and Ingram that of Schubert The latter is conceded by all to be the greatest of song writers; but the judges, Misses Douglas and Reed and MT. Allen, decided that the more varied powers of Schumann entitled him to the palm. Recent guests whom the Judson have enjoyed are Mrs Love of Selma, whose two daughters were Judson girls. now Mrs. Ben Fowlkes and Mrs. w. P. Welch of Selma, and who has a niece here now, Miss Louise Love of Oklahoma Mrs. J. D.

AT GENERAL ASSEMBLY FRIDAY
(From Student Record)

commissions would accept is stupen-
dous. The plan is TO take the waters
OF all the large rivers of the country
and to control them from the time
they fall until they reach the ocean.
Means would be provided whereby the
Hood waters of the spring would be
impounded in the higher valleys and
allowed to flow gradually TO the ocean
during the remainder of the year. thus
steadying the flow for navigable pur-
poses. The economic importance of
such an achievement cannot be esti-
mated. The attempt to temporarily
solve the problem by means of levees
must give way in the end to the more
permanent and economical method of
controlling and using the waters. The
passage of the bill would be OF in
calculable benefit to Nevada, involv-
ing the expenditure of about five mil
lion dollars annually for ten years.
Senator Ncwlands then dropped the
discussion of reclamation problems
and discussed the advance made by
Nevada in questions which he termed
more important than those of material
wealth. In education. in politics. in
justice. Nevada, he said, had made
great strides in twenty-three years. In
the early days the poli,icai convention
OF one of the two big parties were
attended by political boss. who was
openly known TO be in the employ OF
the railroad interests and who pos
sessed a large voice in the affairs of
the state government. Nevada has
been among the first, the speaker
showed, to adopt the modern methods
OF popular government such as the
direct primary, referendum and re-
call. Senator Newlands then cited the
various problems which Nevada has
yet to solve, such as the question of
taxation, stating that he believed a
lower rate should go hand in hand
with the higher assessment now be-
ing imposed by the state tax com.
mission. He also spoke of the pres
ent-day problem of national defense
The evils of our system of defense
were not those of amount but of in
efficiency. We spend enough money
but spend it inefficiently. Training of
future soldiers should be promoted in
mechanical and engineering schools
as it is now promoted under the Nor
rill Act in the agricultural schools.
The purpose behind the training
should not be that of foreign con-
quest but of defensive protection. The
speaker expressed his wish for the
time when such relations between the
nations should obtain that world
with the backing of world military
force to secure their enforcement.
Senator Newlands closed his address
with some remarks regarding the
mission Of women and of beauty In
the world. His talk was heartily re.
eeived and the students and faculty
congratulated themselves on the op.
portunity to hear this widely.known
and influential statesman,
