London, April 16.-The appointment
by tho government OF the general
committee TO deal with the output of
munitions is to be followed by the ap-
pointment Of local committees to su-
pervise local conditions IN important
manufacturing centres. These commit
tees will have all the authority Of the
government behind them, and will vir-
tually commander all factories capa-

many manufacturing firms have been
informed that they must not accept
further orders from private customers,
but must concentrate all their cner'

II is probable some OF the smaller
factories will be closed and their entire
stats Of skilled and unskilled labor

KURDS MASSACRE
MANY ARMENIANS
Inhabitants of Ten Villages
Murdered-Natives APP
peal to United States.

Tihis, April 25-Refugees who have
reached the Russian line report that
the massacre Of Armenians by Mahom-
etans is being continued on even a
greater scale. They say all the lnhapi-
tants of ten VILLAGES near Van, IN
Armenia, have been put to death.
On being advised of massacres at
Erzerum, Berjan and Zeitun and OF
the conditions at Van, the hatolikoa'
head of the Armenian Church, at Fitch
miadzin, near Erivan. cabled to Presl-
dent Wilson an appeal TO the people
of the United States on behalf OF the
Armenians.
The Associated Press received re-
ports of the massacre of eight hundred
of the villagers in Urza and of 72O IN
Salinas. The painful uncertainty col-
corning the fifteen thousand survivors
Of Urza was confirmed by a journey
through Salinas. Three weeks had
failed to obliterate the signs Of slaugh-
ter. The caps of thirty-six victims lay
where a mud wall had been toppled
over on them.
Not all the Christians lacked the
courage or means for self-defence. At
the desolated Cath lie mission at Hos
rova. where forty-eight victims Of the
massacre were buried, Elizabeth Mar
cara, an Armenian girl, told how she
and young David Ishmu battled with
the Kurds. Her story later was amply
confirmed.
1--WE took rifles and mounted 20 the
roof" said Miss Marcara. 81 fired
eighty shots. The Kurds were forced
to withdraw outside the village wall.
There killed two and David two; later
we killed four more, one of whom was
the chief. The Kurds abandoned their
plumber and carried Off their dead"

WASHINGTON SEES
LITTLE PEACE HOPE
Does Not Treat Seriously
Rumors of Speedy
End of War.
From The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, April 25.-Diplomatic
Washington is not disposed to consider
seriously the reports that peace in Eu-
rope is near. This sentiment is not
confined to the representatives of the
belligerent powers, but pervades Off
cial Nashin gton, from the President
down.
Mr.. Wilson, with his studious mind,
treats the problers of the war as he
has treated all the issues of his aca-
demic and political career. He has
prepared his mind for the develop
ments of the European situation just
as he prepared it for tariff reform.
currency reform, election reform or
any of the questions with which he
dealt.
Naturally, the Presidents views on
the war are kept to himself. He ex-
tended the good offices of the United
States at the outbreak Of hostilities
and they were politely rejected.
Presidents Decision Unmoved.
The rejection was without offence.
but it was final. and the Presidents
determination, reached at that time,
has not been modified. 1t is not be
lieved that the offer will be extended
again, at least for some time TO come,
although the services of the President
and the government are as much to-day
at the disposal of the belllgerents as
they ever have been.
In the belief of the diplomatic rep
resentatives of the warning powers,
hope of peace is little stronger than it
was when the first onrush of the
Kaiser's forces was stopped at the
Marine eight months ago. 1t is
death grapple all along the line, with
the odds at present apparently favor
ing no ono.
At the German Embassy attention is
called to the fact that in the last six
months the ground the Germans have
lost is measured in yards rather than
miles. The Dardanelles have not been
forced and the Germans are little wor-
ried to-day over the food question, for
a greater area has been sown than ever
before in the history of the empire.
The French point to the superb con-
dition of their army and the ease with
which it has withstood the German war
machine. Neither at the British nor
the Russian Embassy is any different
spirit exhibited. The English are pla-
