troops who landed at Salonlka ar
reported to have reached the Serbian

officials. however, that any portion OF
the allied troops now on Gallipol'

Zig Blast is Set and Has Close

Sun Rise, Wyo., Oct. John d.
Rockefeller, J,'., today ran foot race
with death and won.
The millionaire insisted yesterday
morning on going directly into the
heart of the open-face workings where
Il whole mountain is being blasted
away. He did not wait for the sup

The dynamite crew, not knowing
that the visitors were near, lighted
the fuses of nearly so enormous blast.
The New Yorker was almost into the
pit when the miners hiding in the com
pany bombproof shelters hundreds OF
yards away saw him and shouted
frantically for him to run. Rockefeller
with his secretary, Charles 0. Heydt.
and w. L. MackenZie-king, at his
heels, fed at top speed backward

He had barely reached steel shor-

ALLEGED CRIME IN ARMENIA
Former Ambassador Bryce So Chara-
cterizes Massacres in farlia-
ment Speech

London, Oct. Replying to 4
question by Lord Cromer, in the
House of Lords, yesterday, the Mar
uuis of Crewe, Lord President of the
Council, said that information which
had reached the Government in regard
tt, the massacre of Armenians was
'>baded mainly on statements from
Tihis In:one district, it was declared
the population had been absolutely ex-
terminated, and the most terrible de
scription was given of the condition
of the country.
The Government. he continued, hat
no official confirmation of statements
that German consular representatives
in Asia had encouraged these hor-
rors, but the statement had been
made by an observer from the Unit
ed States and he was bound to say
that, knowing what had happened
elsewhere, there could not be said to
he antecedent improbabilities that
such was the case.
The Government had not thought
said the Marquis of Crewe, that any
advantage would follow from an at
tempt to hake either direct or indl'
rect representations to the Turkish
Government on the subject.
Viscount Bryce, former British
Ambassador to the United States,
said that such information as hat
reached him from many quarters
showed that the figure of $4,000 Ar
menians destroyed since May wa:
quite possible number. Virtually
the whole nation had been wiped out
he declared, and he did not suppose
that there was any case in history
of crime so hideous and on SO
large scale. :"
The means for saving the unfor-
tunate remnants of the Armenian peo'
pie added Niscount Bryce, was to be
found. he believed. in the expression
OF the opinion of the world, especial
ly of neutral countries, which might
possibly exert some influence on the
German Government and indrce it to
take steps to prevent further masa

Teutons' Power Of Resist
ance is Being Worn
Down by Allies
BAYONET THE ENEMY
English and French Now Less Than
Two Miles From Gazeneourt- -Chal-
lerange Railroad.

Paris, Oct. = Terrific hammering
by French artillery has worn down
the German power of resistance IN
the Champagne region, according to
dispatches received in Paris today.
The German second line trenches
are crumbling under the heavy pound
ing of shells and there are indications
that the enemy's line is about to give
way along wide front.
The capture of Tahure and the Tah-
ure Heights, reported in last nights
communicate. was accomplished with
comparatively slight losses for the
French. French guns blotted out the
German redoubts and trenches and
levelled a few stone buildings con-
cealing enemy guns. A few infantry
regiments !stormed the remaining
works and bayonctted the German oc-
cupants.
The victory at Tahure was one Of
the most important successes gained
by the French since the initial Cham
pagne drive swept the enemy out Of
his first line. The case with which il
was accomplished convinces military
experts that the Bazencourt-C -Challer-
ange railway, now less than two miles
from the French advanced works, will
be pierced within the next fortnigh.
of fighting, perhaps before.

SUGAR TARIFF WILL STAND
Secretary McAdoO Shows Free Sugar
Would Deprive u. S. of S50,-
100000 a Year.

Retention of the import duty on
sugar, and extension Of the "waf
emergency" tax beyond December 81.
are the only two revenue measures
decided upon by the Administration.
In an official announcement from
the Treasury Department. Secretary
McAdoo states that these two meas
ures will be recommended to Congress
at the opening of the session.
Just what, if any, additional meas
ures will be taken, has not been de.
termined by the Administration.
Through Secretary McAdoo and other
advisers have consistently frowned
upon bond issue, it is possible that
an issue of Panama Canal bonds will
be made to finance the army and navy
in the preparedness program, and
kept as a separate transaction, leav-
ing the ordinary receipts to care for
ordinary disbursements.
Secretary McAdoo will recommend
that the free sugar provision of the
Underwood Simmons bill, which,
places sugar on the free list May l.
1916, be withdrawn for several years
and that the emergency tax be con-
tinued until the expiration of the wal
in Europe.

has been largely along the lines of in
dustriaI instruction and has been Just
the sort of betterment which the negro
race needs. Tuskegee has been making
trained farmers and artisans who have
gone back into the every day life of the
southern states and have been important
factors in the upbuilding of that section
Of the United States. To lose the infu-
ence of the school at the present time
would be to deprive the country of one
of its most effective agencies for good.
1t is to be hoped, therefore, that another
strong character viii be revealed in the
