Of funs with which the relief be accomplished. It
estimated by the American commission for Syrian

relieve 100000 destitute and starving Armenians and
SyTans who, account Of the Tavages Of and
the ravages of the Turks we'll have been deprived

churches for assistance rees that of nearly 20000o

Prosecute The Blackmailers

Something new in crime has lately come to light IN
the exposure Of widespread blackma plot the agents
of which use Mann law for the fuTtheTance OF their
efforts The method is simple Women lure men into
compromising situations, by travelling from one state
to another and then male confederates, posing as de-
partmen justice agents. threaten the victims with
prosecution under the Mann act The women plead
with the victims to avoid exposure. Money Is men
toned and It seems resulted most frequently
in the payment of ranging as high as $4,000 to
$4,000 to the pretended agents to drop the case.
Thus the blackmail. 1t has been practiced,
informed, not only by large band, but by many
small organizations, sometimes formed Of only two
OF three individuals various parts of the country
IF only the victims were be considered there need
be no great concern this species of lawessness
The victims in fact deserve little sympathy for being
trapped in situations into which their lack Of
morals allowed them to be led Lacking morals, they
also have lacked courage, they would have refused
to pay and would have stood prepared to fight them
selves out of a bad pTedicament.
The Mann law however, does deserve to be kept clear
Of backmailers It designed for the protection Of
the innocent and TO prevent the spread Of immortality by
what might be called interstate traffic If these black
aers are not put out of business the law itself will
fan into dsTepute and probably be repealed whereas
It Is good law which deserves TO exist For that
son. for the sake of the continued protection of the in
nocent it is be hoped that the prosecution of the
blackmaileTS, both and women viii be prompt, v1g
orous and all embracing.

A few days ago you reported edi-

I am a subscriber and ardent reader,
that an American from California went
over to Europe 70 fight the Germans
on the side of the allies. There were
quoted some extracts from letters Of
this man. giving his reasons for his
fighting spirit. Not everyone agrees
with him. as shown by a letter TO a
California newspaper, which I enclose
herewith. I would greatly appreciate
il If you would be kind enough TO give
IL a space in your lair and fearless

The letter referred to is signed by
Claiming Severance and says in part;
War in your own country where
you are forced to take part, is bad
enough, but for a man to go out of
his way to become a soldier in foreign
war that does not concern him in the
least, is an act that must wait long for
