WHEN ALLIES OFFENSIVE
FAIL, GERMANS Think PEACE
PROPOSALS WILL BEGIN

London, July 1.-THE French
south of the Somme have advanced
to within a mile of Peronne held
strongly by the Germans. They have
occupied the summit known as Hill
81 which commands the Somme to
the southeast of Giaches and have
strengthened their positions between
Biaches and Mar'eux.
Desperate fighting has occurred
between the British and the Ger
mans at Trones Wood against which
the Germans launched six separate
attacks. Five of these were repuls-
ed, according to the British, but the
sixth was successful in that it per-
mitted the Germans to penetrate the
wood. The fighting continued.
The British troops, however, made
gains near Ovillers and La Boisselle
and in a powerful attack on the Ger
man positions in the Mametz Wood
succeeded in winning some ground
where previously the resistance had
been too strong to break.
The German crown prince is still
pounding heavily against the French
at Froide Terre, Fleury. and the Fu-
min Wood. near Verdun. but so far
the actions have been confined to
commandments.

NUMBERING A Ma
TON Of 4O,OO0,0O0

New York, July 6.-The following
was written for the United Press by
a native of Armenia now in this
country who dare not sign his name
because he has many relatives still
in Armenia. 1t is in reply to recent
statements of DR.. Ahmed Emin, edi-
tor of the ConstantinopIe Tanin.
Revolutionary movement and
open treason have been the cause OF
the present plight of the Armenians
in Asia Minor. according to DR.. All
med Emin. editor of the Constants
nople Tanin, as set forth in his
story "The Other Side" recently
printed in the press of the United
States.
When the Turks conquered Ar
menia 500 years ago there were 40
100000 Armenians in that country.
Today there are hardly 100000 OF
=
100000 Armenians persisted as the
result of periodic. annual and daily
massacres at the hands of the Turks
A fanatic may consider this the
work of humane race"--the
Turks-and indulge in pointing out
the faults of other nations to justify
the barbaric acts of its own. The
assimilation of the Armenians is a
historic impossibility. Even the
Turkish practice of cutting the
tongue Of every Armenian when he
failed to speak in Turkish did not
make successful the assimilation pol
icy of the Ottoman government. BY
what sense of justice then does the
Turk argue in favor of his own gov
eminent as giver of freedom of
language? What does the gentle
man mean by freedom of commun-
ity" if he does not not wish to con-
tradict fatty the fats of the otto
man rulers? Thirty thousand Ar
menians we're massacred in Adana at
the hands of the SO called Young
Turkish party in 19OS--soon after
the proclamation of the "constitu-
tional government" Five women
were crucified. One of the bodies,
still on the cross. was thrown into
the river and the blood stained
waves of the river carried it to where

this may be absolute equality with
the Turks Not long ago the gov
eminent sent official doctors to vac
cinate" the Armenian children of the
town of Zejtun. Instead of injecting
the vaccine syrum they injected
poison and 100 children died in one
night. IL this is the work of hui
name race what might be it's brutal
deeds?
My own experience in the mas
sacre of 1895 and SO are still fresh
in my memory and if necessary | can
enumerate tales of horror which |
heard and saw. With all these cruel
infections, instead of fostering re-
venge, one Armenian political party
held the bloody hands of the Com
mittee of Union and Progress saying
that it is enough we are brothers:
let us work for the welfare of the
country The Armenian revolution
ay movement was the child of perse-
cutons at the hands of the Turkish
government. When apparently a
change took place in Turkey in 1908
the revolutionary parties automatic
ally became political parties.
Suppose that few Armenians. or
a group of them. had conspired
against the government. Why were
not those directly responsible pun

A recipe given by famous phy- sician for long life was: ''Keep the kidneys in good order! Try to elimi- nate through the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog the kid neys. Avoid eating meat as much as possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Drink plenty of water"
 For those past middle life for those easily recognized symptoms of infam- nation, as backache, scalding water" or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, rusty" joints, stiffness, get Anuric at the drug store. This is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by Dr. Pierce of h. valids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce for trial package and you will know that it is many times more potent than lithia and that 1t dis solves uric acid as hot water does sugar.
