COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, June Especial: Fort
Vaux. lying some five miles north
east of Verdun, which for weeks past
the French have been stubbornly de-
Tending against terrific ~onslaughts
by the Germans, has at last fallen
into the hands of the Teutons, ac-
cording to Berlin. The men who de-
Tended the fortress TO the last sur

machine guns and mine throwers.
Paris, however. claims the fort was
still in French hands early Wednes-
day morning. but that since then 1t
had been impossible to communicate
with the fort. owing to the violence
of the bombardment.
Gains of considerable proportion
by the Russians over the Teutonic
allies by the Turks over the Rus
slams and by the Germans over the
British are recorded in the latest Of
fetal communications. In the region
of Verdun violent artillery combats
are in progress, while on the Austro-
Italian line the Italians continue to
hold the Austrians from further ad-
vances
In the fighting that is going on
from the Pripet marshes to the Ru-
manian frontier the Russians, in
their big offensive movements. have
dislodged the Teutons from fortified
positions and brought their aggre-
gate of men captured up to about
Al, 1000. They also have taken II
guns, 1874 machine guns and 40 bomb
throwers. Among the men made
prisoners are 900 officers.
AS an offset to the Russian gains
over the Teutonic allies. however.
Constantinople asserts that In Asia
Minor, in the Kope mountain dis
trict, the Russians have been driven
eight kilometers eastward from posi-
tions extending over IA kilometers,
suffering losses of more than a thou
sand men killed OF wounded. The
fighting in this immediate vicinity
covers a front of over t~hirty-one
miles, with the Turks the aggressors
and with the situation favorable to
them, according to Co%nstaninople.

Turks claim to have defeated and

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 1t 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
Spanish-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. 1891. he left the
White House to go to the seaside to
spend Sunday with his family before
proceeding to Ohio and was shot while
waiting for HIS train.

STATE MASONS
MANY PLEASING FEATURES AT
THE GRAND LODGE IN
SIOUX FALLS.

Sioux Falls, June 9.-Outstanding
features in the first days proceed
ings of grand lodge A. f. IL A. M.
and grand chapter o, E. s. now in
annual session in this city were the
interchange of courtesies between
the two organizations, manifesting
the high plane of fraternalism upon
which the organizations are operat-
ing and the recognition which was
given the American flag, not only i'm
decorations, but in special cere-
monies and presentations in which
its significance to the two orders was
made especially pronounced.
Remarkable Gathering.
The 1916 sessions now being held
concurrently are remarkable i'm sew
eral ways. First, perhaps, in the
large attendance of delegates; sec
ond, in the large number of Officers
Of the general grand chapter, and
past grand officers present and third
in the observance OF amenities which
show the close relationship of the
two orders In this state.
Grand Chapter.
The sessions OF the grand chapter
are distinguished by the presence of
four grand officers of the general
grand chapter of the world: Mrs.
Emma G. Cookbook, OF Hartford,
Mich, most worthy grand matron;
DR.. Geo. A. Pettigrew, Sioux Falls,
most worthy grand patron; Mrs. Lo-
raine j. Pitkin, grand secretary, and
Mrs. Jessie G.. Harris, of Aberdeen,
grand Martha. In addition to these
officers of the general grand chapter
of the world, there is an unusual
number of past grand officers of
South Dakota present.
Flag Presentation.
At last years session. George w.
Snow. of Springfield. suggested the
propriety OF each chapter having a
flag and giving 1t a prominent posi-
ton, and at the morning session yes
terday he presented to the chapter a
beautiful silk flag, the ceremonies
attendant upon the receiving of the
gift being one of the most interest
ing of the day. Following his re-
ihti No III n thC biIAs civ II
acceptance by Mrs. Mary Brown in
behalf of the grand chapter. the en-
blem was extended across the stage
in the hands of Grand Patron r. N.
Pickford and Grand Matron Susan
b. Warning. and vas saluted by the
hundreds of delegates.
The reception of general grand
chapter officers and past grand Off
GERS was another interesting feature
of the morning session in which a
pretty little ceremony of presenting
each with flowers was performed by
a delegation from WATERFOWL. Aber-
deem delegates showed their special
interest in the general grand officer
from their city by forming in line
and each handing Mrs. Jessie G.. Har-
ris an American beauty as she was
conducted past them so that upon ar
irving at her station she was laden
with an armful of flowers.

Of funds for Armenian relief, to ex-
plain the real conditions in Turkey

the Turkish authorities the thoughts
of the American public on the condi-
tons in that land.

mediate help to save thousands of men,

Later on l 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. l do not
want to give too many narrowing pic
lures, but | will say that l 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. / 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
menians. Can you conceive how l felt?
1t was then that l 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 | have
seen 1t! 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
l dared repeat the tales 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
Sr finding fault with any one. What
this great country should do to show
its appreciation of the wonderful bless
ings that have been showered upon Us
Is for each one of us to make up his
mind to do his share.
I'VE are the only people to whom
they can appeal for help today, the
only people who dare express their
sympathy by actual giving. The peo-
pie of other nations are afraid and I'M
able to do it."
