TURK NOT SATED
WITH ARMEN|ANS;
MURDERS GREEKS
Over 100000 Christians
Fall Victims to His
Lust for Blood

New York, Oct. 17.-1Not stated by
the slaughter of hundreds of thou
sands Of Armenians and Syrians, the
Turk has also turned against the
Greek Christians in his dominions
ana more than 100000 have fallen a
victim to persecution in the form of
death suffering or deportation. it was
declared here today by Frank w.
Jackson, of this city, chairman Of the
relief committee for Greeks Of Asia
Minor. He said the real details OF
these new Turkish atrocities we're
just beginning to leak out.
"The story Of the Greek deportation
is not yet generally known said Mr..
Jackson. Quietly and gradually the
same treatment is being melted out to
the Greeks as to the Armenians. Al
though closely guarded, certain echoes
of these horrors come out from time
to time.
There were some two or three mil
lion Greeks In Asia Minor at the out.
break of the war In 1914, subject to
Turkish rule. According to the latest
reliable and authoritative accounts
some seven to eight hundred thousand
have been deported, mainly from the
coast regions into the interior of Asia
Minor.

always been law-abiding and perfectly
loyal to the Turkish government. I'm

"At the declaration of the present
wal all prosecutions were stopped but
the spring of 1915 brought to the
stage a tragic, novel drama unique in
the history of the world as to its hor-
rors and destructiveness, that is the
Armenian deportation; under that In.
nocent name the determination of a
Christian race was started.
"Along with the Armenians most of
the Greeks of the Harmora regions
and Thrace have been deported on the
pretext that they gave information
to the enemy. Along the Aegean coast

10, 900 Greeks there have been deport-

THE enemy's success was more

FIRST REGIMENT
STARTS ON WAY
TO LINDA VISTA
Thousands at Albuquer-
que Give Troops Rous-
ing Farewell at Train

Albuquerque, N. M, Oct. 1.-THE
First regiment started on its way for
the division camp at Linda Vista, Cal.
yesterday afternoon. Thousands OF
men, women and children from every
walk of life in the city were at the
station to e it off. There was no
formal program of farewell, but there
was a constant buzz Of good-byes,
and the mere o~utpouring of people in
itself made the departure impressive,
The union band helped the spirit of
the occasion make itself heard.
First reports were to the effect that
the first section of the train would
leave about 1920 o'clock and at that
hour the friends and relatives Of the
soldiers and the townspeople in gen.
eral began assembling at the station.
1t was not until 1880 that the siren
whistle signalled the approaching de-
parture, and it was an hour later be-
fore the first section pulled out. BY
that time the station yard and plat
form were full of passenger coaches,
soldiers and townspeople.
1t was not through lack of willing
ness that no formal speech-making
was done, but because Of the impos-
sibility of anything like a formal pro-
gram in which all the soldiers and
civilians could take part. Members of
the chamber of commerce, the county
commission, the city council and other
public bodies that would gladly have
arranged a formal farewell had to con
tent themselves with being on hand
and saying goodbye individually to
as many Of the officers and men as
possible.
Something of the community spirit
was expressed In a gift Of 5000
oranges and apples, bought with a
fund raised by a committee headed
by Mrs. J. T. Mclaughlin, and a to-
bacco fund taken up at the station.
Fourteen hundred men and 48 Of
ficers left on the train. The main
Lody of troops went in two sections
of 81 cars each. The supply company,
with the regimental supplies and stock
went in a third section.
Col. e. c. Abbott commanded the
first section, Major Arthur Ball the
second, and Captain Thompson, the
supply officer, the third.
Colonel Abbott, busy with a multi
tude Of details right up to the min
ute of departure, had time for a fare
well message to Albuquerque and the
state, Of just nj word:
Goodbye"
It was understood that the second
section would leave 10 minutes after
the first, but there was delay in
getting the train made up on the right
track, and the word went out that
it would be after 1870 before the Sec
ond section would get away. Major
Bail sent his men from the platform
10 First street, where they could wait
at ease and most Of the crowd, except
for relatives and close friends Of the
soldiers, left.
The second section left at 2:30
o'clock. The supply section was
to leave about a half an
hour later.
When the regiment gets to Linda
Vista it will be reorganized into two
machine gun battalions and a COM
pany of military police. Col. Abbott
will be provost marshal of the divi-
sion. The machine gun battalions
will be put in training at once. AS a
regimental organization the First New
infantry will pass out Of ex-
when 1t reaches the division
camp.

CROWN LANDS OF SIBERIA
CoNFIsCATED FROM IMPERIAL
FAMILY, RICH IN MINERALS
(By Associated Press.)

Petrograd, April 80 The crown
lands in Siberia, which the new pro-
visional government has confiscated
from the imperial family and turned
over to the state. include almost the
whole of the provinces OF Altai and
Nerchinsk, embracing a territory
larger than Germany and probably
richer than Germany in its natural
rescuces.
Since the eighteenth century,
these lands have been the personal
property of the Russian emperors,
who being occupied with other mat
tiers, have paid little attention to
their development. Both provinces
are rich in minerals, including gold
iron. zinc and lead. Included in
these crown lands also are the coal
fields of Kuznetsk. which are said
~ experts to be among the richest
in Europe. The Alta region include;
also thousands of acres of undevel-
cped farm land of high fertility.

ITALY'S PROSPERITY DEPENDS
MUCH ON DEFAMATION OF
LAND AND IRRIGATION
CBy Associated Press. }

Rome, April 2S.-The prosperity |
Of Italy after the war depends upon
the solution of three great engineer
ing problems, in the opinion of Prof. |
Luigi luigi, president of the Italian
Society OF Civil Engineers These
three problems, he stated in an adj
dress here this week. are: The re-
clamation of marsh lands, the irri-
cation of semi-arid tracts, and the
more complete utilization of water
power, especially in the production
of chemical fertilizers for the soil.
The chief interest of the United
States in Prof. Luiggi's program is
found in his statement that it will
require large sums of foreign CAPT
tai, some of which Italy hopes to
draw from America
During the last five years of
peace said Prof. Luggi; NEARLY
700, 900 of the best elements Of our
rural population left their native
villages to seek better conditions of
labor across the Atlantic, or. worse
still, in middle Europe. This ex-
cess of emigration is a drawback to
the progress of Italy and Of the Latin
races, as France has no increase at
al in her population. while the leu.
tonic races increase very rapidly.
ITO reduce emigration it is nee
essary to offer to intending emf
grants work better paid and in
healthier conditions. This can b.
done by developing the natural re-
sources of Italy. many of which are
still lying dormant or are not yet
completely utilized.

in the south, lands now almost ster-
lie would be bl ssed by the most
luxuriant crops Also hydro electric
power should be utilized better for
the production of nitrates and Other
fertilizers and for developing many
industries connected with agricul-
tural products.
There should also be better means
Of transport. by rail. by road and
by water. The sanitary and social
conditions of the rural centers os
population should be improved by
better water supplies. better sewage.
better housing, and better schooling.

regarded as one of the best and most lines of business are well represented.
 Peoria Rural Route The rapid growth of the farming district surrounding Peoria has neces- sitated the addition of another rural route in the valley and a short time ago a petition was filed with the post office department requesting the es- tablishment of such a route from the Peoria office. An inspector from the department made an examination of the application and. it is understood, has reported favoraoly on the same. It is probable that the service will be established in the near future. giving the farming residents of that vicinity this much needed convenience.
 Water Service The residents of Peoria are favored with a first class domestic water service due entirely to the enterprise of the residents themselves and the owners of the townsite who, a year or so ago, at an expense of several thousand dollars. installed a complete plant. The service is now extended to all parts of town and to the ad joining addition of Altaloma, adding much to the convenience of the resi- dents and giving substantial fire pro- lection. The plant is managed by the residents on a cooperative basis and sinking fund has been established in anticipation of required extensions of the service. The organization. known as the Peoria Domestic Water Users association, has it's plant entirely clear and free from and incumbrances and in addition is prepared to extend and increase the capacity of the plant as the growth of the town may re- quire.
 Land Values
 There has been a good deal of ac- tivity during the past year in the Peoria section. Probably more land has changed hands in this district during that time than in any other part of the valley and it is gratifying to note that these various changes in ownership are at constantly increas- ing prices. During the last few months, number of new corners have bought land on which they are making permanent improvements. Larger tracts are being cut up into smaller ones. In many instances where a few years ago a tract had no family living on it. it is now divided into two or three tracts with as many perman- ent homes established.

Mr.. Singletary this morning was forced
to reject what, to his mind, Is one OF the
most promising candidates for enlistment
he has seen. The applicant, a school boy
and a strong member of the track team,
lacked two months of having reached his
seventeenth birthday and until that time
he cannot enlist even with his parents
consent.
