For centuries they have lived along the borders of Tur- high ranges to the east of the Tigris valley and north of Arabia At the beginning of the war, according to the first news of any completeness which is just reaching America through missionary sources, the Turks and the Kurdish Tribes in Persia attacked the Assyrian Christians without warning These latter, most of them herdsmen and farmers of sturdy stock and per- sistent traditions. were able in some cases to retreat to plateau fastness- es. selling their lives as dearly as possible, but failing to protect their families from the brutality of the Kurds and the lower class Turks. e While the world was watching the

WILSON NIGHT IN PUTNAM.
Democrats Celebrate Victory With
 Unbounded Enthusiasm.

The snappy cold of November night had no effect Tuesday evening in chilling the ardor of the democrats of the city who had planned to cele- brate in joyous manner the reelection of President Wilson.
 Accordingly their parade through streets of the city heretofore enum- erated was carried out with much ar dor and music and with a display of colored fire. The cold and rain and snow of the morning and afternoon combined to knock down the high to- tai of particinants expected, keeping out of town delegations from coming to Putnam.
 Bands from this city and North YrosTenordale furnished the music t1d a drum corps contributed some thing to the festivities of the evening" A number of transDarencies that were amusing were carried by the parad- CTS.

The meeting held last night at Rioux hall was part of the suffrage campaign which has been in progress since last July. x-Representative John Potter presided and introduced the speakers Miss Katherine Ludington, New Lon don county chairman, spoke of the present status of woman suffrage. and drew attention to the suffrage map on which the states which have granted suffrage to women are shown white These states are twelve in number and constitute about One-Quarter of the area of the United States.
