Makes Poison Safe.

Thousands of persons lose their
lives every year by Internationally
swallowing some form of poison, be-
lieving it to be medicine. Most of
these accidents take place at night,
when the victim rises in the dark,
gropes for a bottle, and then swal-
lows part of the contents without be-
ing certain that he has the right bot
tie.
A New Jersey woman has just
come forward with a device that
should do away with this particular
danger. She proposes that all corks
of poison bottles be made with n
tiny cross of metal extending out Of
the top of the cork. This cross should
have sharp points, and the person
coming upon it in the dark would get
his fingers pricked. If anything can
do away with the poison bottle dan
ger, this remedy should. 1t would be
simple matter for everyone having
such a bottle in his home to make
a tiny cross Of the kind described
and fasten it to the cork Of the dan
gerous bottles.

"EITHER GOD ~ DEAD OR
GERMANY ~ DOOMED

DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, in a late
address, said:
"rhat dying German officer IN
Royce packed the genius of a moral
universe into a few words. Wound
ed last winter through the spinal
cord, unable to NOV" the lower part
of his body, for weeks he waited for
death. Two aged French women
cared for the dying man. One day
this German officer sent for the viii
iase priest and told him that the
Ven Hindenburg line WIS me-. :
complete, that the order TO retreat
had been given, that the home NJ
these aged women who had cared for
him so tendely would be burned, that
noI one church, house, barn, vine
yard or orchard would be left. The
news crushed the old priest.
'In his dying hour righteous
wrath filled the heart of the German
officer. These are his last words as
| transcribed them from the lips Of
that priest, standing one day in No
yon:
Curses upon this army! Curses
upon our Kaiser and his war staff!
Ten thousand curses upon my coun-
try! Either God is dead or Germany
is doomed!'"

Upon the rupture of diplomatic re-
lations, the Turkish Government con-
fiscated our food supplies and many
of these people persisted of hunger"
Since then, however, Mr.. RIGGS
continued, arrangements have been
made to continue the relief work
through neutral agents who are dis
bursting the funds and supplies gath
cred through the American Commit
tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief
in New York City. The question OF
saving the remnant OF the Armenian
race, he said, can be solved only by
American generosity.
"The Armenian men are dead" he
said, land the women have been
crushed and cannot long survive the
terrible experiences through which
they have passed. But there are f0O,-
600 orphan children, most of whom
are begging their bread to-day. The
hope of the future is in gathering
together these remnants and saving
them for the seed of the future Ar
menian race. These children look TO
us to-day. If they can be fed and
housed and educated for the next ten
years they can constitute the leading
progressive element in the life of a
new Turkey as their fathers did in
the old"

FCRUELTIES PRACTICED

ARMENIAN MOTHERS MURDERED
AND THEIR HELPLESS BABES
BURIED ALIVE.

New York, Oct. Burial alive
of babies in trenches with the bodies
of their mothers, who had been
slaughtered or allowed to perish from
exposure, was practiced by the Turks
in their work of discriminating the
Armenians, IL was declared here to-
day by the Rev. Henry II. Riggs, mis-
sionary OF the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions
TO Harput, Turkey. who recently
came back to this country. A trench
was dug beside camp of Armen-
ian women, he said, and as they met
death the survivors were forced to
drag their bodies to IL and bury
them.
"The gendarmes said they could
not take care of the babies that were
left behind. so many of those were
buried with their mothers" DR..
Riggs said. when ] visited this
camp | frequently saw Turks wan
dering about among the Armenians
picking out pretty girls and little
children to take away to their homes.
Some mothers told us that they had
themselves thrown their babies into
tho Eurhrntes River rather than al
low them to be taken to Moslem
homes. Many more threw themselves
into the river to escape bondage of
shame worse than death.

that represents them the fullest meas

The Presidents proclamation fol-
lows:
by the President of the United
States of America a proclamation:
"The second Liberty Loan gives
the people of the United States an
other opportunity to lend their
funds to their government to sus-
tain their country at war. The
might of the United States is being
modified and organized to strike
mortal blow at autocracy in de-
/ tense of outraged American rights
of the cause of liberty. Billions of
dollars are required to arm, feed
and clothe the brave men who are
going forth to fight our country's
battles and to assist the nations
with whom we are making common
cause against a common foe. To
subscribe to the Liberty Loan is to
perform service of patriotism.
Now, therefore, l, Woodrow
| Wilson, President of the United
States of America, do appoint
Wednesday, the twenty-fourth of
October, as Liberty day, and urge
and advise the people to assemble
I in their respective communities and

held in every city. town and hamlet
throughout the land under the gen.
eral direction of the Secretary of
the Treasury and the immediate d.
rection of the Liberty Loan COM
mittees which have been organized

people responded nobly to the call
of the first Liberty Loan with an
over subscription Of more than 80
iper cent. Let the response to the
second loan be even greater and let
| the amount be SO large that it will
serve as an assurance of unequaled
support to hearten the men who are
/ TO face the Are of battle for us. Let
, the result be SO impressive and en-
phatic that it will echo throughout
the empire Of our enemy as an in
dex OF what America intends to do
to bring this war to a victorious con-
clusion.

"The man who told me the story
succeeded in getting his knife and
cutting himself loose. AS he made
his dash for liberty he was followed
by volley of shots, but got away
unscathed. All the other men Of
that and similar parties were ruth
lessly butchered.
"The women and children were
then started on the road toward Mes
opotamia in companies Of two or
three thousand. by Indirect routes
they were forced to wander about
until the summer heat and disease
wasted away the majority. No trans
portation was provided. | saw one
old man, who had travelled 200 miles,
start out to go the remaining $50
miles carrying on his back his pack
of quilts and clothes and on top OF
that his aged, palsied wife, who
could not walk.
"Often the routes chosen took the
people over wateless deserts where
thousands persisted from thirst. l
passed through such a region where
thousands of bleached skeletons each
side the way told me the story of a
waterless journey across the plains
in August.
"The people who passed through
Harput from the north usually spent
two or three days in camp within
sight of my home. The sights we saw
there can never be forgotten. They
were absolutely without shelter, day
or night, from heat or cold. The air
was unspeakably foul from dead bod
les lying near. As we approached
the women and children came around
us like hungry wolves, all restraint
lost, in the one desire for piece Of
bread.
"The sick and dying lying around
under the blazing sun with no one
to care for them, waiting for the
end. One place saw a row of twelve
dead women and children who had
been lying in the shade of trees.
With them was one little baby still
alive. The shade had shifted and
/ the burning August sun had fallen
on them and killed them. A long
/ trench was dug beside the field where
these people were encamped. The
people themselves were obliged to
dig and fill it. As soon as one died
she was dragged to the trench.
