CRY OF STARVING
ARMENIANS is HEARD
Details of Desperate Condition of Dc

Public

BOSTON Aug. S.-nctails of a des-
perate condition of deported Armen-
ians in the deserts of northern Ara
bia and the lower EuphrateS valley
are contained in a cable dispatch
made public by the American COM
mittee for Armenian and Syrian re-
lief tonight. The dispatch, says the
committee, was received through
high diplomaticc authority in Tur-
key, not American, reporting the tes-
timony of trustworty witnesses over
wide areas, in the regions mentioned.
According to the dispatches wit
nesscs have seen famished Armenians
"cating grass, herbs and loCusts; and,
in desperate cases, animals found
dead and human bodies are reported
to have been eaten"
The dispatch continues:
Naturally the death rate from
starvation and sickness is very high
and increased by the brutal treat
ment.
The misery and hopelessness of the
situation are such that many are re-
ported to resort to suicide. An Illus
tration of the methods employed, re-
port is made of the gathering Of a
group of onc-hunOred children whom
they placed in care of an educated
young widow from -
Two weeks later these children
were deported and from two survivors
found further down the caravan route,
il was learned that the rest had
perished. The house mother, crazed
by this treatment Of her charges, was
among the deported who were NOV
ing on. Boat loads seen from --
down the river arrived at -,

the passengers missing. There ap-
pears in short, steady policy to ex-
terminate these people, but to deny
charges Of massacre. Their destruc-
tiOn from SO-called natural causes

LOSES
r. Norris Williams III Regains
q. S. Net Championship.
Philadelphia Won Because He
Took Greater Chances.

Forest Hills. N. Y, Sept. 6.-R. Nor
ris Williams, II, of Philadelphia, won
the 1916 turf singles championship at
the West Side club courts, defeating
William M. Johnston, the 1915 cham
pion, in five set match by scores of
4-6, GA, 0-6, ga, Ga. The match was
an exasperating mixture of brilliant
and mediocre tennis, in which both
players took turns at poor and clever
stroking of the ball and court general
ship. Williams appeared to improve
rapidly as the match progressed, while
Johnston faded physically and appear
ed to lose faith in his strokes toward
the end of the contest.
The fortunes of the PLAYERS swung
first one way and then the other as
each had moments of vantage. Occa-
sionaly one of the players would
swing into his best tennis and for a
few moments the play would sparkle
smashes and lobs Then, as if fearful
of their own recklessness. they would
curtain their forceful stroking of the
ball and proceed to throw away point
after point by the most amateurish
errors.
Was More Daring.
Such advantage as Williams had
came from MS taxing the greater
chances and his ability to stoke the
ball closer to the danger point than
Johnston. Added to this was the vic
tors greater physical stamina, which
stood him in good stead.
Weather conditions were excellent.
The atmosphere. however, was rather
humid and more favorable to Williams
than to Johnston who is accustomed
to the cool air of the Pacific coast
A careful analysis of the play during
the five sets shows that while Williams
ran far ahead of Johnston in his abil-
ity to score both service and place
ment aces. he piled up many more
errors. There was but four points
difference in the totals of the two
players at the end of the match and
they were tied in the number of games
won

The Drummers should be easy picking

Warning of Savages.

Warning of Savages.
oh, Miss Topeka, listen please,
We want to say to you
We cannot keep ball team here
Unless you will come thru.
We've had tough luck, we will admit,
Our club has fallen down.
Yet, we have done the best we could
We've tried to boost the town.
But there is just this much to it,
No matter where stand,
We cannot run a baseball club
Without a helping hand.
Therefore, Miss Topeka, listen,
We've only this to say,
If you desire baseball team
Turn out and watch 1t play.
Inability of Wichita to support her
Western league club has cost the Peerless
Princess her place in the baseball sun.
The place lost over night And the
same thing is liable to happen in Topeka
if conditions do not change.
AS in Wichita, matters have reached a
stage here that one of two things is in
evitable. Either there must be a revival
of interest among the fans and boost
given the local club by other Topeka bust
ness interests, or else Topeka must be-
come a city without d ball team.
In all probability, the sooner matters
come to a head the better off all concerned
will be. 1t a cinch a club az expensive
as a Western league club must be, cannot
be maintained the crowds that have
been attending the games here this sum
mer. And if there is hope of better
conditions, the sooner Topeka quits, the
better.
But in quitting, both Topeka and Wich-
lta should remember that they are entirely
at the mercy of the National Baseball com
mission that no other organized baseball
team can be placed in either city without
the consent of the Western league, and that
if baseball is desired again it NAV
cost considerable money and take time to
get it

disappointments, who is still the property
