AM MEREcAN INTERESTS
 IN TURKISH CITIES.
Schools, Colleges and Hospitals in
 Cities Captured by Russia.

Erzroom. Trebizond, Erizingan, Siv- as, Van, Bitlis, Diabekir-names which have recently been prominent in war news from the Eastern front are fa- miliar words to many in America for they represent cities or districts in which the American Board, our oldest foreign missionary society, has work ed among non-Mahommedan peoples for nearly a hundred years.
 In Erzroom, for instance, the forti- fled city which the Russians took by assault a week or so ago, two Ameri- cans were carrying. on their work of helpfulness. They were Rev. Robert s. Stapleton and Dr. Ida M. Staple ton, his wife. A cable to the Amer ican Board, via Petrograd and our own state department, reports Mir. Staple ton as remaining in the city during it's ton had gone, doubtless with her poor and sick people as refugees, to Erzin- gan.
 In Erzroom the board has a hospital, started by Mrs. Stapleton but later in charge of Dr. B. F. Case, who has been summoned to Constantinople for Red Cross work. There is also a girls High and Boarding School, whose grounds adjoin those of the Persian consulate and a large Boys school in the heart of the city, close to the cus- tom houses and postoffice.
 Erzingan, which has also been oc- cupied by the Russians has been an little hospital here that Nurse Marie Zenger, of Sivas, met her death from typhus, as she and Miss Mary Graffam were returning to Sivas after their heroic relief expedition to Erzroom just about year ago, when doctors

REFORMS IN REAL ESTATE
 SITUATION IN GERMANY
War May Cause a Radical Readjust- ment of Methods.

Berlin. March 22.-The war promises to bring about much-needed reforms in the real estate situation in Ger many. and in Berlin in particular. &c., rious difficulties under which the real estate business was transacted long before the beginning of the conflict have become so critical now that the Prussian Diet has had to step in with proposals for financial assistance and radical readJustment of the methods of valuation and assessment
 The fundamental trouble, to the layman at least, seems to be that the real estate business. particularly in Berlin, has been conducted on an eco- nomically unsound basis, aproximating at times wild cat" character. At least good proportion of German real estate men have for years proceeded on a "hand-to-mouth" standard. Thus the man wanting to build for invest ment has pursued the practise of starting with nothing much more than the land on which he was to erect a house, has mortgaged this land to get funds for building, has mortgaged the building to get money to complete it, and haN relied and had to rely on his rents to pay the interests on his mort gages.
 The evils of this system have long been recognized. and have been ac- centuated by the fact that gradually there has crept in the custom of gross iy overvaluing property for the pur- pose of increasing the size of loans on mortgages. But the whole house of cards has threatened to topple because the war has brought with 1t financial strtngencies that made the payment or rents impossible in many instances,
Norwich bulletin., 1916-03-23

and made the payment of interest and principal on loans impossible too.
 The situation thus created has been held in hand only by a degree of con- sideration on all sides-banks have either renewed loans or have not call ed them, and real estate proprietors and landlords have had sorrowfully to agree to wait until the end of the war for much of their rents The com bination of the old evil system under which real estate has suffered for years, and the effects of the war on rents and loans has practically put a stop to investment at least for the period of the war
 As a remedy for the situation, there has been introduced into the Prussian Diet bill calling for the establish ment of valuation bureaus all over Prussia. and the creation of a fund of $10,OOO,000 marks with which to ease up the position of real estate men with mortgages to meet.
 The bill provides that each valuation board shall consist of a director and et least four assessors, and that each 2s sessment shall be approved by the dlI 9ctor and two assessors. The nun Der of assessors is not limited, but may be increased according to the need. of the communities which they serve ' In general the boards shall operas> in districts, but the larger ci- ties-S Water Berlin for example-are each to nave one apiece

 The siege and evacuation of Van is pretty well known, as we'll as the kindness of the Russians in taking the Americans, several of whom were dangerously i'll and all of whom were exhausted, from the strain of siege and caring for refugees across the mountains with the Russian hospital corps.
 Sivas is another important point in the Russian itinerary. It has ordin- arily about 30,000 inhabitants and is l the capital of a Vilayet having in 996,000. Here the American board has not only a hospital and large graded schools but also a teachers college whose graduates have had an import ant place in the plans of the friends of Turkey.
 It was to Sivas that Miss Char lotte Willard followed a group of 40 Armenian girls deported from Marso- van Mission school and by the use of eloquence and money r. especially money-brought them back to Marso- van.
 It was from sivas that Miss Mary Graffam (already mentioned). accom- panied the Armenian population as they were driven out to the South, till she was stopped at Malatia where the road to the desert begins Typhus epidemics. sad processions of sick and starving deported ones. alarms over missionaries brought from other stations and detained in sus- pense and sickness of heart; these and many other circumstances have made the life of the stan at Sivas far from quiet But they are there for the help they can give and they have never failed.

nurses, garrison, war prisoners and practically the whole city were down with typhus.
 In Trebizond, the port of Erzroom. consul CMr. Helzer) have been prob ably the only Americans in the city. l The school and kindergarten teachers were in Europe on vacation when the
 war broke out and have not been al-
 lowed to return. The mission pro- perty is not far from the consulate and though the church suffered at the
 time of the recent Trebizond massa- cres. the board learns that 1t has been repaired and is in, use.
 In Bitlis a boys high and boarding school and a seminary for girls, known as the Mount Holyoke school, are the chief institutions. From Bitlits. last fall, Rev. George P. Knapp, principal of the Academy was ,forcibly removed under Turkish guard and taken to D1a6ekir, where his death was immed- lately announcved. The stories Of his passing are very contradictory, and
 ths is one of the items which will de- mand careful examination and an ad- equate explanation when Turkeys ac- counts are rendered
 MT. knapp's removal left two young women, Misses Myrtle Shane and Gris- ell McLaren. alone at Bitlis, in charge Of the station and of the many women and girls who fled to the mission for PIOlSCion- MISS hcLaren nad typhus.
 Miss Shane, who went to Turkey only in 1913, nursed her companion, dealt with the authorities and ran the sta ton. Bitlts is a mountain city with snow often seven or eight feet deep in its streets for weeks at a time, but these two girls planned to spend the winter Ion the job!"
 At length, however, their charges were driven away, their supplies ran low, and they were not permitted to send any messages out of the city. Then the American ambassador sent a government Kayass to Bitlis and un- der his escort the two ladies went to

WAKE UP FEELING FINE! BEST LAXATIVE FOR MEN, WOMEN
 sS~ AND CHILDREN.

Enjoy life! Remove the liver and bowel poison which is keeping your head dizzy, your tongue coated, breath offensive, and stomach sour. Don't stay bilious, sick headachy, constipa- ted and full of cold. Why don't you get a box of Cascarets from the drug store and eat one or two tonight and enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced. You will wake up feeling fit and fine. Sascarets never gripe or sicken like salts, pills and calomel. They act so gently that you hardly realize you have taken cathartic. Mothers mould give cross, sick, bilious or fey- srish children a whole Cascaret any lme-they act thoroughly and are harmless.

pleaded nolo, He was sentenced to two years in addition to the four years inn posed on the original case of breaking and entering the Haswell and Burdick Westerly Feb. Is, 1914. During Aliens period of freedom from state prison he committed two more burglaries at Pleasant View before his recapture, and for these offenses he will have two additional years to serve.
 The officers of Washington county are more watchful than those in Prov idence county, as was shown in the case of James Rego Mellow, the alleged Kingston murderer, convicted of the murder of William Rhodes and sus- pected of the murder of the two Olsen brothers. Mellow on the trip to and from the jail was accompanied by three officers and he was handcuffed to one of them. While on trial he was led to and from the court room by two ofn- cers, who constantly guarded him. In Providence county 1t is left for two officers to guard 31 indicted men.
 Charles Henry Greene, who died re- gently in Battle Creek, Mich., and was buried in Hopkinton, was the son of Thomas M. and Amanda Babcock Greene, and born at Potter Hill 50 years ago. For many years he resided in Alfred, N. r., and 12 years ago he moved to Battle Creek. He was staunch in his adherence to the principles and teachings and an enthusiastic student of Seventh Day Baptist church history. He collected a fund of historical facts concerning the denomination and his contributions to the printed history of the church are valuable. He is sur- vived by a nephew, Howard A. Greene, of Westerly, an uncle, Stephen Bab- cock, of Yonl<ers, and two aunts, Dr. Lucy Babcock Of Alfred and Mrs. John M. B. A1nbler of Chatham, N. Y.

He is sec ond and almost exact double of Morris Sullivan of Westerly, a Civil war vet erna, retired stone cutter, and repre- sentative citizen. The resemblance is so striking that intimate friends of MT. Sullivan declared the picture to be that of MT. Sullivan, and after the closest inspection.
