The recent rains failing in this neigh

matter Of camp site selection the best
Of judgment has not been exercised by
those who located the District National
Guard at Fort Myer The rains have
caused much discomfort among the men
of the guard, chiefly because in some
cases the tents were pitched in low
ground, SO that while the showers pre-
vailed the living quarters of the guards
men were flooded Mud formed in the
camp to depth which made movements
about the camp not only disagreeable,
but difficult. Mosquitoes are so abundant
around the camp that life is made mis-
cradle to everybody, and it will be mer-
ciful if disease does not attack the or
ganization in consequence.
There is plenty Of ground at Fort
Myer where the guardsmen might have
been placed so that they would have
been assured of good drainage at least.

All forms of preparedness are under

Foreign policies and diplomatic nego-

Somebody-who was it7-lamenting
the bull moose fiaseo at Chicago declared
that he had joined that party in 1912 be-
cause of the belief that a radical party
was necessary to the country's saliva
tion, and. that the country would sup

despairingly, @Where am now to go7"
Well, if real radicalism is desired

unwilling to support either Hughes or
Wilson, and recognizing the fact that
bull moosery as a national force ended
with Mr.. Roosevelt's declination of its
presidential nomination, might find com
fort among the socialists. He would at
least find much to set him to thinking
about things in general, and which would
either cure him of or confirm him in his
radicalism.
The socialists recommend their party

Russia's Conquest of Armenia.

If the Russians hold their conquest in
Asia the Turkish rule will have passed
forever from Armenia, scene for many
decades of their cruelties that have en-
bittered the Christian. peoples of the
earth toward them. With the fall of
Erzingan the Turks have been virtually
driven from Armenia, and it is the
prayer Of all but their present military
allies, regardless Of the outcome of the
present war, that they may never re-
turn. Armenia has been devastated by
Turkish rule, its people slaughtered, its
fields ravaged, its cities looted. The
pitiful cry of Armenia for help has fall
en- upon ears deafened to the cali of hu-
manity through the intervention of po-
litieal considerations. In Turkey in Eu-
rope cruelties have been practiced in
the past by the Turks, but these have not
measured in degree or extent with those
perpetrated by the Turks in their Ash
attic possessions.
Russian rule in Armenia would be in
finitely better for the natives than that
of Turkey. The Russian is stern mas
ter, but not intolerant. In none of Rus
sia's Asiatic possessions has there ever
been any condition approaching in Sc
verify that caused by Turkish dominion,
and a Russian administration of Arme-
MIA, which will prevail at least for a
time, is certain to bring the people of
that unhappy land relief from perse-
cutions and massacres. For this alone
the Russian advances south of the Black
sea are to be welconsed, whatever may
prove to be their ultimate bearing upon
the great war. And in the final adjust
ment of conditions, if the entente allies
control in the making of peace terms,
it is inconceivable that Turkey will be
restored to authority over the land that
it has so wantonly outraged for genera
tions.

And now an then one of 'em gives a
soft melodious chime,
Which says, Farewell, friend Hour, we
hope you've had pleasant time"
We know we're missin' lots O. things here

We haven't fancy bathin' suits to make
prim people frown.
Nor mountain -eIimbin' clothes like those

But our lives go on serenely, as each
tries to do his part
The crick don't show us very much that's
worthy of remark.
The boys all go in swimmin' without fear
of any shark.
We welcome each new day that brings

An don't pertend to regulate the world
an it's affairs,
But offer all that we may call our own

To keep the old world goin', its great
