URGING NEED OF
 ARMENIAN RELIEF
Distressing Situation Where $100,000 More Will Be Required to Keep Peo- pie Alive Through Winter.

In view of the effort to raise funds in this vicinity for the relief of the Armenians which is being made by Rev. J. o. Barrows and Dr. c. D. Ussher of this city, both of whom have been missionaries in Turkey, there will be interest in the fact that the American board of commissioners for foreign missions has just received from Constantinople a cable relative to the Armenian relief work which states that out of the Philadelphia and Crane funds enough remains for distribution during another month, but that an ad- ditional $10O,000 will be necessary in order to keep the most needy Armeni- ans alive through the winter. The message strongly urges that an earnest effort be made to raise this amount, which is necessary in addition to the amounts already raised. It further states that the local relief committee has made arrangements under which it eXpendS 5000 each week and that its ability to reach the needy is con- stantly increasing. By conservative estimate there are in Turkey about 6OO,OO0 survivors from the maSSacreS. The majority of these are women and children, who are generally dependent upon charity. In a majority of cases they are entirely unable to work, and in many cases the Turkish government prohibits them from working or earn ing a living. The deported Armenians have not as yet been allowed to settle down definitely and deportations have not entirely ceased.
 The relief committee in Constantino- pie is able by means of devoted mis- sionaries still at their posts and through hospitals and Red Cross work CTS to reach many of the deportation camps and some of the caravan cen ters through which the exiles pass. w. w. Peet, treasurer of the boards mis- sions in Turkey; is also treasurer Of hn DEA1 sarN 1 TT N1 tees which work from Constantinople. His long experience of Turkish finances and his wide influence with officials and with business men are of great value in making the relief funds go as far as money can go in alleviating present misery.

 IN DEL PRIORE CASE
Judge shumway Gives Decision Against Granite Co. in comPensa- ton Case.

Judge Milton M. Shumway handed down a decision in the superior court in New London Friday morning in the case of Maria G. Del Priore against the Booth Bros. and Hurri- cane Isle Granite Co.,, an appeal from the decision of the compensation com missioner.
 The contest was over the death of the plaintiffs husband, by being struck by an automobile while riding out of the driveway of the residence of William Booth in Town hill on bicycle. She was allowed compen- sation of $5 a week for 312 weeks by Compensation Commissioner Don ahue.
 The defendant company took an ap- peal from the decision on the ground that Del Priore was not actually at work for the defendant at the time of the accident which resulted in his death and the finding of the commits sioner was illogical and illegal. The matter was heard by Judge Shumway recently and in his decision he finds that the compensation commissioner from the evidence was justified in his finding.
