A Call to America

Hundreds OF thousands OF people in

er hundreds of thousands have per.
ished.
The survivors must BE- relieved and

To help meet this appalling situa-
tion, the Congress OF the United States
passed a resolution asking President
Wilson to appoint a time for making
an appeal and receiving gifts for the
sufferers. The President has desig-
mated October 81 and % for this pur-
pose.
The verified story makes a picture
dark and terrible. 1t begins with a
massacre by the Turks and Kurds. the
most dreadful of modern times.
Pillage and deportation on a scale
never before attempted
At least a million Armenian suffer
ers are naked and starving.
In Syria, Persia and Palestine. wide

The poor refugees have been eating

have no clothing. shelter, or food.
The cry for rescue comes piteously
to America-to every gOod-hearted
man, woman and child.
Can we. dare We, withhold the help
we can give?
Tomorrow and next day, space per

the appeal more III detail, in the hope
that everyone who can afford the sac
rifice will donate something. If only %
cents. for the relief of these worthy
people. One dollar will keep one OF

An American Proposal.

There was a loud cutlery among neu.
trail nations when the belligerents in
/ timated that the submarine boat had
invalidated certain sections Of the in.
ternational law code. International law
the protesting countries insisted, could
not BE- changed overnight by mere
mechanical device.
| That protest was made against a
malevolent change. Now in contrast to
the earlier attitude against change, the
| United States government announces
that it has changed its policy toward
the mounting of guns on merchantmen,
and asks the belligerent governments to
agree to disarming OF merchant ships.
The arming of merchant ships for de-
Tense is permitted under the law. The
United States is proposing nothing less
than a benevolent amendment to that
law.
With the disarming, if the American
suggestion is adopted, there will be a
new consideration for the safety OF lives
on merchantmen. Protection for non
combatants, specifically, and fair warn
ing before any merchantmen is attacked
are the provisions of the notes sent to
each OF the warning governments by
Secretary Lansing.
Should Europe choose to see the idea
in the American light, the remaining
incidents OF sea warfare would be more
like war and less like massacre. Fur
Their the way would be opened for
prompt action toward bringing the in
ternational code up to date.
That the Lansing proposal requires
the acceptance of all governments con-
cerned is rebuke, though a mild one,
to the runaway job of international law
making performed by Great Britain
without as much as a y-your-leaye in
any neutral nation.Boston Journal.

The Parson Bird.

Among the feathered inhabitants OF
New Zealand there is bird called the
parson bird. or tut 1t is about the
size and shape of a blackbird, but has
a pair of delicate white tufts at its
throat and is glossy dark green 9th
erwise, which looks black in the sun
shine, 1t can be taught 10 crow, to
speak, to whistle tunes, and, besides
these tricks, it has a repertory which
is not often equaled by any other
feathered songster At vespers it has
a note like the toll of bell or the
clear. high note of an organ. 1t can
mimic every bird in the bush to per
lection II will break Off In the mid.
die Of an exquisite melody and in
dulge in strange melody of sounds
which are impossible to describe. but If
you can imagine "the combination OF
cough, a laugh. a sneeze. with the
smashing of pane of glass" 1t will
be some approach to the idea.

Notable Improvements of Vermont
Hotels.

"The remodelling and enlargement of
one of Rutland's hotels adds to that sur
| ficieney of Vermont hotel accommoda-
| tions demanded by the increasing sum
mer tourist patronage. No tourist need
avoid Vermont for fear of lack of clean,
adequate hotel accommodations, for the
communities on both the east and the
west sides of the state have frst-class
facilities for entertaining a large number
of people. The management of the en-
larged hotel in Rutland expects that a
much increased tourist trade viii come
to Vermont during the coming summer,
and the prediction seems to be well
founded. Vermont is receiving the bene-
fits from greater publicity and also rom
the eurtailment of European travel
through the restriction imposed by the
war Our hotels in Barre, Burlington,
Rutland, st. Adams, Bennington, Brattle-
boro. Woodstock St. Johnsbury and 9th
er places should prepare to meet the
prospective increase" barre Times.
The foregoing is entirely true, but as
far as Rutland is concerned it is not the
whole story.
The two principal hotels in this city
are completing radical and sweeping inn
provements that place them among the
best equipped hostelries that NAV be
found in New England. in a city of any
size. In both cases, the culinary depart
ments have been modernized TO an ex-
tent that makes them the very latest
word in equipment and efficiency. Rooms
for the accommodation of tourists
on commercial errand bent or
travelling by car for pleasure. have been
reiitted and revamped; connected with
bath in a large proportion Of cases and

From medicine 10 the orsma.

The earlier part of Victorien Sardou's
career was beset with many trials and
difficulties. His parents wished him to
take up a medical career. and he began
his studies with some zeal. The love
OF the drama. however. was far greater
than the love Of the pin box, and in the
interval Of the other work Sardou was
busy upon play Life was a struggle
for him, for he had little money, though
be managed to get journalistic work to
supplement his more slender income
His first play was a failure, and Sar.
dou rushed from the theater vowing
never to enter one again. He fell seri-
ously Ill. was nursed back to health by
Mile. de Brecourt. an actress who lived
on a floor below. and from that time
his fortune was made.

The RuIldon.

The bulldog, unlike the majority OF
dogs, very seldom barks. In fact, ow-
ing to the construction of his throat
his attempts at barking are more like
a burlesque Of the real thing. He
wades into a fight without any vocal
warning, and the only sound he emits
is his heavy breathing. His courage
is astonishing, and the largeness Of his
opponent never acts as a deterrent
when hostilities are imminent Stiil, as
he is not a quarrelsome dog, he very
rarely INDUCES in street brawls, and,
as be is exceedingly good natured, 1t
takes a lot to rouse him.
The modern bulldog is undoubtedly
a different looking animal from his
bullfighting ancestors. The most con
spicuous improvements" introduced
by the present day fancy" are large
ness Of head, width Of chest, heaviness
Of bone and more typical tail.

THE RUINS ON THE HILL.
Where Richard of the Lion Heart
Dwelt In France.

DWelt IN france.
Perhaps the loveliest spot In all the
winding miles of beauty along the
river Seine between Rouen and Paris
is Petit Andely. Ragged and shattered
looking, the stony hills rear proudly up
above the placid river and sleepy town,
and squarely upon its crest looms the
ruin of Richard the Lion Hearts Castle
Gallant, a great, burst keep and a
few bits of massive wall Once the
castle Haunted its menacing leopard
standards against the blue and white
and gold of the Frankish skies, but
that was before Philippe Auguste
stormed and smashed It and smashed
the townsfolk while he was doing It.
Now, ghostly and wan, the stark
ruin shimmers upon It's hill. with never
single spear TO CLINT from keep or
barbican. The spears are still grow
ing far below-the stout young poplars
on the river bank and island sentinel
ing through golden days when the riv-
err is cleaning jade; in the fiery sun
sets, when ii mirrors back every
sturdy limb and feathery frond. and
all the silent blue nights. when the
stars bend cracking down TO whisper
and coquette and the ripples chuckle
softly against the rich brown banks.
