New York.-Former United States
Ambassador Henry Morgenthau in a
recent interview gave as one Of the
main reasons for his resignation as
ambassador to Turkey his great desire
to make known to the people of the
United States some Of the conditions
In the Turkish empire, especially as
they affect the long suffering Armeni-
ans. He wants to assist In the raising
of funds for Armenian relief, to ex-
plain the real conditions in Turkey
and to make known In tactful way to
the Turkish authorities the thoughts
Of the American public on the condi-
tons In that land.
Referring to the tragic suffer1ngs Of
the Armenians and Of the need Of i'm
mediate help to save thousands Of men,
women and children from dreadful
death by starvation, Mr.. Morgenthau
made the following statement:

Country's Wars.

Sandusky, O.-The village of Clyde.
fourteen miles southwest of this city,
was the home not only of the highest
ranking officer killed during the civil
war, but also Of the first American
killed In the Spanish-American war.
1t has the distinction also of being the
nucleus Of what is now the Women's
Relief corps. General ]. B. McPher-
son, killed at Atlanta in the civil war,
and George B. Mack, the first Ameri-
can killed in the Spanish-American
war, are both buried there
According to Joel Elliot of CLYDE,
Mrs. Hattie Mcpherson, aunt of Cen
eral Mcpherson, organized the first
Ladies' Aid society after the civil war
began, and it was from the Ladies' Aid
society Of the sixties that the Women's
Relief corps of the present day grew.
Elliot says further that army rec
ords at Washington will show that in
proportion to population, more men
enlisted at Clyde for both the civil and
Span1sh-American wars than from any
other place Of its size in the United
States.
President Garfield was to have been
the principal orator at the unwilling
of the Mcpherson monument when,
on Saturday, July 2, 1881, he left the
White House to 60 to the seaside to
spend Sunday with his family before
proceeding to Ohio and was shot whi1o
waiting for his train.

Later on I read 'Evangeline,' and my
heart went out to the poor woman and
her lover, but all Of these things are
nothing compared to what went on in
Turkey under my own eyes. I do not
want to give too many narrowing pic
lures, but will say that have been
requested to state that most of the
stories that have reached the United
States are founded on facts.
'"The Armenians were living Just as
quietly and peacefully as possible, in
Friendship and close contact with their
Turkish associates, when suddenly
they were picked out to be deported.
1t was then that my heart bled for
them. I had been given the privilege
of dispensing charity without stint and
with full authority on behalf of the
English, Russian, French and Italian
nations-even the Servians had sent me
money, and Russia and Italy permit
ted me to help the poor Montenegrins
in my charge. Suddenly, without avail
able funds, was confronted with the
terrific problem Of the destitute Ar
men1ans. Can you conceive how felt?
1t was then that sent an appeal to the
secretary of state for help, and the re-
Spouse came promptly.
IF the people of the United States
could only see the distress as I have
seen it! If they could see the gaunt lit
tie figures Of children, the little or
phans brought to Constantinople by
friendly Turkish officers, the need of
prompt aid would be fully realized. If
dared repeat the tales I have heard,
sworn to and signed, they would make
men and women weep, and every one
would see the need Of sympathy and
help.
"There is no use Of accusing anybody

Pratt, Kan.-Charles M. Short, who
has been mourned as dead by his moth
er, Mrs. NJ. A. Annett of st. Joseph,
Mo-, has been found in this city and Is
alive and well.
Short tells peculiar story of roam
ing life, which he has at last decided to
stop and 60 home to his mother. About
twenty-one years ago Short left his
home at Excelsior Springs, Mo-, and
started out for himself. He went to
San Francisco. where he went on the
seas as sailor. He never wrote his
mother, but a word to cousin in Ne
braska gave the information that he
was sailor on certain boat. This
boat was reported sunk, and there was
no report of Shorts name in the list of
survivors.
His mother then mourned him for
dead until recently a flash came over
the wire from the cousin In Nebraska
that Short had been found.
