ARMENIAN LEADER
SAYS 10000 WERE
KILLED OR DEPORTED

London, Jan. 27.-Murad of Sivas,
Armenian leader Of the Province of
Sivas, Asia Minor, in an interview
just received here from Tiflis, gives
an account of the treatment by the
Turks of the Armenian population in
Asia Minor, in which are many new
details. His story, which is made pub.
lie by Viscount Bryce, who vouches
for the reliability Of the source, is in
substance as follows:
''Out of 10000 Armenians inhabit-
ing the province of Siyas, there re-
NAMED when Murad left some 10000
who had been spared as useful arti-
sans, or because they were old. The
remaining people, Murad declared,
we're either massacred directly Or de-
ported to the area between the Euph-
rates river and around Messopotamia.
For disarming the Armenians the
Turks employed various methods of
torture. In Kh0urakh0n, he declares,
one man was actually shod like a
horse and another killed by putting q
red hot iron crown on his head"
London, Jan. 27.-At Habesh, $500
Armenians we're put to the pole ak,
or stoned, he asserts. At Herag, the
men we're killed and the young wo-
men carried away, while 600 chiIdreS
were detained by the Valli, Murad
adds, possibly to be converted to Is
lam. Many young women went mad
and others committed suicide.

7. R. WANTS HUGHES
TO STATE POSITION

Oyster Bay, N. Y. June 6.-The first
demand direct from Sycamore Hill
that Justice Charles Il. Hughes tell
the people frankly his attitude con
corning problems agitating the po-
litical leaders and the delegates to
the Republican national convention
was made in the form of a statement
by Pucien Bonheur, Progressive lead
err of Long Island, and given out by
him to correspondents after a confer,
ence with the colonel.
The action of the German-American
alliance In notifying the Republican
convention that II would not coun.
tenance the nomination of either
Roosevelt or Root was the basis of
the declaration. Mr.. Bonheur called
upon Justice Hughes to tell where he
stands in regard to this action or &C
cept the position of appearing before
the people as the candidate OF the al.
lance.
Justice Hughes can keep silent
about many things, but when faced
with that issue he has no business to
be silent. Otherwise he is the caadi,
date Of the German-American ALI
ance,' he said.

PEACE HINTS FUTILE,
SAYS GERMAN LEADER

Berlin, June S.-A profound sensa
ton has been caused by the great
speech made before the reichstag by
Chancellor Won Bethmann-H ollweg. In
which he declared that any further
suggestions for peace by Germany
would be futile and evil. His clio
quent appeal to the nation to hold on
until victory was theirs and the de-
fance he hurled at England were
greeted with thunders of applause.
II see the entire nation" he said,
in heroic stature fighting for It's flu
ture, our sons and brothers fighting
and dying side by side. We fear Meth.
er death nor devil. not even the hun
ger devil which they wish to send into
our country.
Gracious heaven allowed a good
harvest this year. II will not be
worse, but better than In the previous
hard year. Another of the enemy's
calculations was sharply corrected by
our young navy last week. We know
that II does not mean that England is
beaten. But 1t is a token OF our fu-
ture wherein Germany will win"

the way of further development of

season, $1O.65 being paid.

activity as offers did not show as
much decline as noted at other CEN

The Keystone State.

One OF the interesting situations Is
that presented by Pennsylvania. a
large proportion of the delegates com
Ing TO the convention uninstructed and
a minority In favor OF Governor Brum-
baugh. 1t is doubtful whether the del
egntes elected for Brumbaugh will
amalgamate with the other Pennsyl-
vania delegates. largely under the con
troll of Senator Penrose. but IL this del
egation should solldly support any one
of the leading candidates 1t would be
an important factor and might deter
mine the result.
The supporters OF Senator Weeks,
largely from Massachusetts and other
New England states. with n fair seat
tering from outside delegations, are
still hopeful and assert that the Mas
sachusetts senator will continue TO
gain when Ii becomes apparent the
other candidates cannot be nominated.
Burton and Cummins.
The central middle west with Sena-
tor Burton and the Mississippi valley
with Senator Cummins have potential
possibilities. The men who are advo-
eating the nomination of former Sena-
tor Burton are using the geographical
location of their candidate to the best
advantage and assert that Ohio be-
comes the pivotal state In this cam
paign and that an Ohio candidate viii
be as strong In the east as he is In the
states surrounding Ohio. The sup
porters OF Cummins are insisting that
the Iowa senator meets the conditions
which demands a Republican of rea-
sonably progressive tendencies who
will insure the return of the Progress
sives to the Republican party.
No Place For General Apathy.
General Apathy might just as we'll
fold up his tent and retire II the Re
publicans should, after all, decide to
nominate Roosevelt"
The remark was made by a man who
has campaigned with Roosevelt sew
eral times.
But the campaign will not be upon
a dignifed and lofty plane" remarked
another a Roosevelt win open up
on Wilson and make the most bitter Mt
tacks a man can, and when Roosevelt
hits he hits hard. III Roosevelt Is I'm
the campaign 1t win be a hot one from
start to finish"
The Ever Recurring Question
Then came a remark which brings
forward the ever recurring question
and one which has been asked a thou
sand times during the preliminary cam
paign and yet remains unanswered.
Colonel R~oosevelt's dislike of VII
son and his policies may cause him to
take the stump and support some other
nominee"
1t was of those feelers put forth
when politicians gather, but 1t brought
no response from those close to T. II.
And the Reason Why.
Don't let any one be deceived about
n thing-Colonel Roosevelt Is the
best politician In the country today.
He may make great blunders, like be-
ing a candidate four years ago.. but he
does not make mistakes about saying
things at the wrong time. To let 1t be
known nov that he would support any
n Of the half dozen possibilities
would be giving himself away. Roose-
welt wants every leader and every dele.
gate to think that he will not support
this man Of that man or any other
man but himself.

Of n general belief that Justice Hughes

Although Chicago is the central city
of Illinois, there Is an impression
among the leading Republicans of this
city that the Illinois delegation will
not continue long in supporting Sen
