How Turkey Massacred Armenians.

The recent massacre of Armenians in
Turkey was conducted very systematic
ally, for there is evidence of identical
procedure from over frty places in the
Empire. They are too numerous to be
detailed here and there is no object in
multiplying the monotonous tale or
horror, for the uniform directions from
Constantinople were carried out with
remarkable exactitude by local authori-
ties. Only two cases are reported of
officials who refused to obey the GOV
eminent s instructions. One was the
local governor Of Everek, in the district
OF kaiSarieh, and he was at once re-
placed by a more pliable successor.
Nearly million Christians were wiped
out, and the plight of the million left
alive moved President Wilson TO pro
claim October % as a day in which
money should be taken up for the vic
Tins.

Counting The Cost.
(Manchester Y Fl Tnio,

Manchester, n. H., Union.)
The great war has already created a
lnumber of puzzles which are not likely
to be cleared up until peace affords an
opportunity for unprecedented study of
Iphases of the conflict about which much
uncertainty must exist while hostilities
continue. Among these doubtful cues
tons may be included the reason, or rea-
sons, underlying the repeated Zeppelin
raids on England. 1t often has been
pointed out that on the score of the
military advantage there does not ap-
pear to have been much return fer the
! effort expended, the risk run, and the
losses suffered by the invading air fleets.
though here it must be borne in mind
that the accounts of the operations
which have reached this country have
been mostly by way of British channels
of communication. Doubtless, the Ger
mans believe their Zeppelins have done
vastly more damage than their foes will
admit. 1t is also probable that the
political effect at home of those air
RAIDS is carefully counted upon. The
advocates of the policy of "frightful-
ness should find equal comfort in
bombing cities and sinking ships by
On the other hand, German officialdom
can but be aware of the spur to British
recruiting which was supplied by the
hoverlng battleships of the air and the
general nerving of John Bull to fight
out the war to finish, while the effect
upon the opinion of the neutral nations
! IS not a matter of doubt. If Germany
loses in the war, the civilian victims of
her air raids will stand for one of the
! Items u the heavy bill of costs she
| Will have to pay, and from the neutral
world there will be few protests that
she will not have to pay it to the full.
Germany is not beaten yet, by any
manner of means. And it may be that
lshe will not be beaten, but the odds
against her success are vastly greater
than they appeared to be a wear ago.
Undoubtedly her chances are calculated
nowhere more cody than in her own
general staff. To the outside observer
this fact adds to the wonder about the
basic notion of the Zeppelin campaign.
Verify, there must be a reason appeal
l1ng to the judgment of some of the
world s cleverest strategists, but just
what 1t may be is yet to be explained.

Signs multiply to indicate that Bos-
ton milk contractors will have to paw
New England producers 80 cents per can
of IL quarts after tomorrow, or 60
without the supply. Practically all the
producers appear to have taken a firm
stand to that effect, and if the contract
ors refuse to meet the demand for Il
fair price, the chances are that the pro
ducers will take care of the Boston
milk market on their own account. Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire produc-
ers have been waging resolute cam
paign for the higher price. but not much
had been heard from Vermont until
"Wednesday night, when approximately
SeVenty-hVe of the milk producers of
that state met at Bellows Falls and, ex-
Guiding two representatives of Boston
milk concerns who sought admittance
to the meeting, voted that, beginning
Oct. |, all milk produced by the Yer
mont Dairyman s association should be
sold through Frank Northrup of Lud-
low, as its representative. The meeting
also made Mr.. Northrup its spokesman
to the press, which also had been ex-
cluded from its deliberations: and he
assured the newspaper men that he
would demand at least fifty cents for
an eight quart-and- one-pint can of milk
delivered on the platform at Boston.
This means, he explained, that the
members of the association doing bus
mess through him will pay for their
own shipments, and the nearer to Bos
ton they are, the more money they will
receive. 1t means also, unless plans
sadly miscarry, that Boston dealers, af
ter October /, will have to go to Mr.
Northrup for their supply of Vermont
milk, as he will be sole salesman for all
producers who are members of the Yer
mont Dairymen s association.
The New England milk producers ap-
pear at last to have arrived at a point
where they have the courage to demand
and insist upon their rights. This they
never could have done to effect without
organization The moral is plain.

The style show is a place where
women are shown Just how they viii
look six months ahead.
About twice a year, when business
is duh, a style show is held in some
city for the benefit of women who do
not like to wear the same gown more
than once in succession. A number of
styles which never occurred to anybody
IN his lucid intervals are draped on a
few models in a free and easy manner,
and it is decided that any woman pres
ent who refuses to wear the same shall
be east into outer darkness. While the
style show is intended primarily for
women, once in while some modest
husband will stray in, take one startled
look and then fade out of the nearest
exit carrying a thick, purpling blush
from his collarbone up.
As a rule, the style show does not
reach into the rural districts until the
vogue mas changed and the price has
dropped. This explains why so many

1t Is great mistake for a husband who
halls from the quiescent interior to
take curious, high-spirited wife into
the style show, for the experience is
liable to breed dissatisfaction with the

The style show is intended to make
1t impossible to wear any of last year s
clothes without being commented upon
by the neighbors. 1t is a sad fact that
one progressive club member who re-
turns from the style show CARRIED in
new ideas from head to foot can cause
more CONSERVATION than the first ap
