Not a Woman Or Child Remained.

For a perfect epitome of conditions in this region it is necessary to step only few yards from Bashkala on the Chukh road to the hamlet of Heresan. There The Associated Press core spondent found sixty Armenian men, all that are known to, remain alive and free in a population of 5O0-not a single woman or child but what had been killed or carried away by the Turks and Kurds.
 Half a dozen wells were crammed with the bodies of those who had not been carried away. Sherabeg, a Kur- dish chief. began the ravages last fall
 killing a score of men and carrying of thousands of head of cattle. Some sixty of the sturdiest of the survivors fled to a monastery about fifteen miles away to procure arms and help, but they could not recapture their village, and had to flee for their lives, leaving the remaining population in the power of the Kurds. The latter camped at Heresan all winter and used the wom- en and children as they chose. Im- mediately after the defeat of the Turk ish troops under Haillil Boy, at Dilman, the Rurds foresaw their expulsion and made an end of such of the female and youthful population as they did not take away in slavery.
 In Bashkala there is no one living now. But lately it was a hourishing and picturesque Asiatic city with many well-stocked stores and comfortable homes. Many of the houses were two- story structures of brick with tasteful balconies. There was an abundance of good rugs and some European fur niture. The population comprised 1900 Armenians, few Jews and per- haps 5000 1Goslems. Of the Armentans 500 women and children had been car ried away and divided between the harens of Hassem Bey and Hashi Bey, Kurdish chiefs. The remainder had perished or fed The Bashkala Mos lens had also paid dearly, for their handsome city was footed, dismantled end burned. There were fires in a dozen places when The Associated Press correspondent visited the city with Russian General and his staff. The revenge on the Moslems had been worked in spite of the strict inJunc- ticns issued by both the Russian and Armenian leaders. The Armenian volunteers were particularly enraged because the Moslems. and, it Is said, the Jewish merchants also, betrayed the Armeniaps, who had been friendly to the Russians on their hrst$advance on Bashlcala last year.
 It is characteristic of the bitterness between the two races. that 25 Her esan recruits serving in the Turkish army were killed outright sp the way

Stories of the War
Claims Germans Have Caused Over
 5,o0o,0o0 Casualties.

More than 5,oo9,O0O soldiers of the
 countries at war with Germany. it is estimated, have been killed, wounded
 or captured. These figures, compiled almost exclusively from papers or magazines published in foreign coun- | tries by 'Heer Und Politik," are pre- sented in an effort to show that Italys entry into the war cannot hope
 to offset, numerically, the losses of her present allies.
 Heer Und Politik purposely goes outside of Germany for estimates of | the French. English and Russian l losses. so far as possible, in order to err on the side of conservatism and not lay itself open to charges of in hation- The French estimates are | taken in part from Italian papers the French journals publish no losses and some of the Russian figures have been secured in the English pub l lications.
 Russia is shown to have been the
 heaviest loser. with more than 3,O00,- 900 men, it Is estimated. The figures are obtained in the following fashion: There are more than a million Rus sian prisoners of war in Germany at present. according to the German general staff. The London Times as long ago as January placed the Rus l sian dead and wounded list at 1,3O0,- 900. Since then there have come the Masurian Lakes battles and the Car pathian victories, with Russian losses estimated by -allied' papers even at 650.O00 men at the very least. In Germany at present there are over 100000 French prisoners of war, 1 in addition to which the French losses are known to have been huge. The
 Italian paper. Corriere Della Sera, es- inmates that the French army has lost half its strength in dead and serious ly wounded, and the London Daily Mail places the French loss in dead wounded and captured at 1,600, 900 as a minimum.
 The balance of the estimated five million is made up, Heer And Politik believes. by the British and Belgian l losses of all kinds, and the total ii feels is rather too low than too high From its statistics it draws the con- | clusion that "the accession of Italy to the ranks of our enemies will not
 snatch victory from us."

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

LubIin is the latest town in Russian Poland to come into prominence by reason of the changing German-Rus- sian battle lines. It has become the immediate objective of the armies un- der Field Marshall von MacI1ensen, in the line of the forward drive of the Austro- -Germans in the directions of Warsaw. The city Lublin, the third most important city in Russian Poland, forms the subject of today's study in war geography issued by the National Geographic society.
 warsaw, Lodz, and Lublin are the three most important manufacturing centers in Russian Poland. Like Lodz, Lublin has a large textile industry, being one of the important Russian districts for the production of threads and yarns, linen and hempen goods and woolen stuffs. The industry of this place has been upon an upward factories were beginning to take q more important share in the supply ing of the home textfle market. The country around Lublin ts e very rich agricultural country, and the town had e, large and growing commission trade in grains and cattle
 .Lublin, the capital of a district of the same name is built upon a. small tributary of the Wieprz, about 100 miles south southeast Of Warsaw. It is about 60 miles from the Austrian Galiciau frontier, due north of Jarios- lav, ,.and not far southeast ofHvanEDrUd, the great Russian fortress guarding the approach to Warsaw from the south. It lies upon the Warsaw-Ki railway. The population of the city which has grown considerably with the increasing prosperity of it's indus try is S5.000. There are several fine palaces of Polish nobles at Lubiin. and an interesting, ancient citadel The old Notifications of the place have been destroyed. It is the headquar- ters of the XIV Russian army corps. Lublin, whose life reaches far back in past centuries, is a city rich in mem oriesi siof the Poles last stand for free dom@and independence"

It is sterling advice which is being offered to the administration at this time relative to the importance ot giving protection to the dyestuff in dustry. Because of the long establish- ed business in this line which the peo- pie of Germany have built up they are in a position in normal times to take care of all the demands from this country for such material. They have plants, the experience and the opportunity to produce dyes at a low cost, so much so that with no tarif hfndrance they can undersen any and all who undertake such an enterprise in this country. This means not only that this country is dependent upoT Germany for this product. but il throws up a formidable obstacle tc the development of any permanent in- dustry of the kind here.
 This country has the material, n.u Il of which now. goes to waste, the knowledge and the capital for estab. fishing plants which would take cars of it's wants in this direction. Wha' it lacks is encouragement on the par of the government which would give i a chance to get onto its feet withou going through ruinous competition A number of plants for the production of dyes have been started, but for feal of being put out of business just a. soon as Germany gets a chance to en. gage in export trade, they are neces, sarily small and for the most par temporary.
 We have in this country no more industries than are needed and nc more valuable move could be made 1T behalf of new ones along this line thar the placing of tariff on foreigr dyestuffs. It may be against the dem. ocratic free trade ideas. but it is 3 step that is advisable for the good ot the country.

 The contention is maintained that more subjects should be taught in the same way as chemistry and gymnas- tics by example, experience, practics than knowledge which is needed.
