took place through the six provinces oi the Turkish empire known as Armenia. The Armenians are the Yankees of the east = the merchants, manufacturers, capitalists, artisans and among the best of the farmers. One quarter of million people succeeded in escaping into Russian Caucasus and among them American representatives have done wonderful work in caring for the sick, giving bread to the hungry, cloth ing the naked, caring for orphans. Per haps a million more went to Syria and Mesopotamia where they have been dependent upon American relief which is helping this worthy people to pull through alive
 The number of Armenians who have been massacred, said Dr. White, is es- timated by the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief in New York City at from 500.000 to l. 900 600 while there are a million still living in need of immediate aid, for witch $.,a00,1)0 a month is ui iGen.ly needed with:ri which thousands will perish in de-t tuition and suffering The committee is so conducted, he said that every dollar collected goes for le lief purposes
 Dr. White, now living at Minneapolis was ordered to leave Marsovan by the Turkish government He was formerly pastor of the Congregational church in Waverly, Ia.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-A ruling rate of six per cent for call loans, an almost utter lack of time money, the agree ment between the war industries board and the steel manufacturers and the unlimited bond issue soon to be of fered by the government all gave Wall street material for much sober reflec- tion during the week. -e
 These and sundry incidents of less importance bore pertinently upon se- curities values, which tended gradually downward Rails and other shares hitherto classed among the more stable issues experienced greater depreciation than those of less intrinsic value, but the entire list reacted later on the re- current waves of liquidation, aug mented by persistent short selling.
 Observers are agreed that at no other time since the inception of the present decline has the market reflected less public support.
 The weakness of the bond market, with numerous high grade securities at lowest quotations of recent years seemed to bespeak indifference of the conservative inv estor.
 Liberty bonds furnished the only noteworthy exception, rising steadily to the new level of S100.30.

The coun- try sold almost no corn. offerings everywhere were light.
 Oats hardened in response to con. tinued demand from export interests.

REICHSTAc HEARS.
 GERMAN ARMIES ARE DISCOURAGED.
Minister of War Admits Hopeless Tone In
 Letters.

Copenhagen, via London, April 2S-- General von Stein, German Minister of War, admitted in discussion of military affairs by the Reichstag com mittee that field post letters from sol diers at the front showed a certain amount of Encouragement. This, however. was only a passing sentiment, he explained. and in general the spirit of the troops was good. Tn a war like the present one could not expect an unbroken stream of victories, he said.
 General von Steins report is con- sidered to have influenced the com naittee in sending. through Field Mar shal won Hindenburg. greetings and assurances of solid support to the army, which the radical socialist members of the comnittee alone re- fused to sign.
 The committee rejected radical socialist proposal to establish com mfttee of parliamentary, control to l supervise the conduct of the war. In tho discussion Herr Stueckieins a socialist member. complained that men were sent to the front as 8 punish ,ment and that this method was used |rAguhrly as threat. He produced the text of a company order in sub- { fstAntiation of his assertion.

 JITNEY KILLED AS CARS CRASH
(continued From Page one.)

(Continued From Page One.) Undsdorfer was held in bonds of $1,- 900 by Judge Frederic Bartlett for a hearing tomorrow. According to Capt. Charles Wheeler of the traffic squad, the defendant has had more or less trouble with the police. s When Detective George Derrick was doing traffic duty he arrested Und- sdorfer for reckless driving, claiming the iitney operator almost ran over him. Undsdorfer was arrested twice later for violation of the law while driving his machine and when ar raigned in the superior court on an appeal from a city court Judgment he said Wheeler was prosecuting him.

EXPECTING CALL
 SOON FOR EVERY
 LOCAL COMP ANY
Formation of Big Army Probably Will Embrace
 General Summons Here.

What Is believed to be the first stop toward removing from the state ar mory in Main street, the $500, 900 worth of federal property there, was begun today. This is believed to ibe a pre- liminary step before turning over the sarmory to the Home Guards. Already roll top desks, typewriters and other office paraphernalia occupy the head quarters room which Col. Wilson and his staff will use.
 Electricians and their assistants be- gan today to strip the plotting rooms at the rear of the delicate and costly range finding apparatus which is in- stalled there. The apparatus used Uy the mortar companies Is to be sent away first. Besides the plotting board with its intricate devices tor locating targets, other apparatus used in range finding Is being dismantled.
 1t is the belief of all military offl- cers here that when the general stair of the United States army begins to put dts plans in operation for the for matton of q big army, all the units of the Connecticut Coast Artillery here, the band and the First Field Ambu- lance company will be called into fed- eral service. Once they leave the state armory for federal service 1t is not thought they will return as Ma tional Guard organizations.
 With the calling out of the National Guard, the ar1nory will be turned over to the Home Guards, who are state troops. It Is the desire of Gov. Hol- comb that none but state troops oc- cupy state armories.
 Rooms at the armory will be taken to store the arms and equipment of the Home Guard companies as rapidly as the equipment is received and a place can, be cleared for 1t.
 The Fourth company was mustered at the armory for pay this forenoon and the men were paid on by the government paymaster this afternoon. Major Henry A. Beebe. who com mands the troops in Bridgeport, with his adJutant was present when the company was mustered and the roll called.
 While skylarking with some other members of the Fourth company on the iron stairway today, William Gra- ham. q recruit in the Fourth com pany lost his footing and fell down the entire length of the stairs. He was rendered unconscious by the fall. AAiS COiA10acS piCAou NILl up duQ ne was carried to his cot in the company room. There he reeained conscious ness and 1t was said that beyond se- were bruises on his head and back he had suffered no serious injury
 Each Of the local National Guard company commanders has been asked to nominate two men to send to the military instruction camp at Platts- burg, N. Y. The. nominations will be made in g day or two. The men will be insthe Plattsburg camp for three months on special detail and during this period will have oppdrtunity to qualify for officers for the new army.
