The Armenians.

The New International Encyclopedia
says: by language the Armenians,
or, as they call themselves, Haik, are
entitled to rank as q very old branch
Of the Aryan stock, In some respects
intermediate between the Aryans of
Europe and the Aryan peoples Of mid
die Asia. Physically also they + Of
q primitive type, short and thickset,
da~rk-skinned, and of exaggerated
brachycephalism, in part artificially
induced. They are thought TO be re-
lated, on the one hand, TO the Alpine
stock of Europe, and on the other to
the Galtchas, etc, of central Asia.
They inhabited in early prehistoric
times q considerable portion of Asia
Minor, and have contributed TO, or Dor
rowed from, Aryans of other types.
Semites, Caucasic peoples, and later
intruding Europeans and Turks. Prof.
+. Won Luschan (1911) is of opinion
that the modern Armenians are the
descendants of the pre-Semitic popu-
lation of the region, whom he Identifies
with the old Hittites. He also believes
that from this same ArmenOid race
came the so-called Alpine race Of
Europe"

Then some other men," he con-
tinued, get into Il rut and can't get
out. Instead of being switched on 10

are kept diligently at work on the main
