UNEMPLOYMENTS
NOW N0PR0BLEM
IN, Associated Pressl

LONDON, Eng. - Unemployment,
which like the suffrage and the Irish
questions, was formerly one of the
most difficult subjects the govern
ment had to deal with, is shown by
an official chart just issued by the
government Board OF Trade to have
now fallen off to the vanishing point.
In 1908 the unemployed represented
between 3 and 10 per cent of the
working population. In 1909 it was
between and 8 per cent These
were the years Of labor agitation
which led to the law for government
insurance of the unemployed. Up to
the time the war began, the unem-
ployed averaged from to per cent
Of the population, from 1909 to 1915.
Since the opening of the war the
percentage. of unemployed has run
steadily down. The official chart
shows It was down to per cent four
months after the war started. By
June. 1915, il was down to per cent.
and at the end of 1915 had fallen to
one-half of per cent. Now 1t has
fallen almost to Zero
This is having the effect Of greatly
reducing the governments unemploy-
ment insurance, which was one Of the
main features Of Lloyd Georges So
cial and economic legislation. The
returns for last month show there
we're 2027 claims weekly, amounting
to 4S6 pounds, or about s1.25 for each
claim.
This is a reduction of SO per cent
since last year. and much greater
reduction since the war began.

BELGIAN REFUGEES ESCAPED.

Amsterdam. - Correspondence of
The Associated Press. 1.-The Belgian
motorboat Scaldis ran the blockade
from Germany, flying a German ads
mirals flag, and arrived safely in
Holland with a load of prominent
Belgian refugees. The incident has
aroused much interest along the
whole length of the Scheldt.
The Scaldis formerly belonged to
the Belgian government and was
confiscated by the Germans, who
highest officers. A Belgian pilot,
JEFF" Van Dingen, was given the
post Of captain because Of his init
mate knowledge of the river. He
frequently had the governor general
on board and from the mast there
f1oated an admirals flag, for which
every guard on the river and canals
showed respect.
JEFF" early this month determined
to make serious attempt to convey
to safety a group of prominent Bel
gians who were in danger of prose-
cution by the Germans, and these
men were so weary of the German
regime that they were willing 70 risk
their lives to escape. Jeff had orders
to take the governor general from
Antwerp to Brussels on the following
Monday. He figured that If he cruised
northward on Sunday the guards
along the Scheldt would think the
governor general was taking a short
trip to the frontier. He started at
noon, hosting the admirars flag.
The Belgian civilians were hidden
below deck, the captain and two as
sistants alone remaining above deck.
They passed the forts Of st. Marie
and Philip de Paarl and by Liefken-
shock and Doel, their flag every
where saluted tremendously by the
soldiers. At Doel the whole guard
turned out.
Close to the frontier the motor
stopped, gasoline being almost ex-
hausted. A German patrol boat ap-
preached, but no assistance being
asked it apparently did not dare to
come alongside a boat flying the adj
mirars flag. BY a friendly salute Jeff
intimated that he did not need as
sistance.
After some tinkering the motors
were made to work a little longer,
and the tide also helped. Thus the
vessel reached Dutch waters, where
il was visited by the Dutch patrol
and given enough gasoline to get 1t
to the nearest port, where captain
and passengers were warmly well
coined.

Babies Buried Aliue With Bodies
.Of Their Mothers Is Report Brought
From Armenia by u S. Missionary

New York, Oct. 15.-Burial alive OF
babies in trenches with the bodies OF
their mothers, who had been slaugh-
tered or allowed to perish from ex-
posture, was practiced by the Turks
in their work Of DISCRIMINATING the
Armenians, 1t was declared here to-
day by the Rev. Henry III. Riggs
missionary of the American Board OF
Commissioners for Foreign Missions
to Harput Turkey, who recently came
back to this country. A trench was
dug besides a camp of Armenian
women, he said, and as they met
death the survivors were forced to
drag their bodies to 1t 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 frequent
ly saw Turks wandering 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 the Euphrates river
rather than allow them to be taken to
MosIem homes. Many more threw
themselves into the river to escape
q bondage Of shame worse than death.
Saw 10000 Bodies
About fifteep miles from Harput
is a lake hidden from sight with many
ravines about It. We were told that
the Armenian exiles were being kill
ed and left in these ravines. Two
Americans investigated and brought
hack photographs and actual facts.
They saw in a twenty mile ride TO-
600 human bodies, most OF them kill
ed by the bayonet. With few excep-
tons they were women and children
and the mangled condition Of their
bodies showed the horrible fate that
had been theirs. 49,
The story OF the deportation OF the
Armenians of Harput is one of per
fidy, violence and murder" DIR. Riggs
went on, adding 1T is nearer to the
truth to say the Turkish government
undertook the extinction Of the Ar
menian population. After the is
sue of an edict for all Arrnenians to
go to Mesopotamia, he said, there
came the arrest Of all the men of
standing"
Fire Into Crowd.
They were sent out on the road
tied together in groups Of two to
five," he said, driven and beaten by
the gendarmes. OF the first party Of
800, one young man survived to tell
the story OF what happened. The
party was taken into ravine and or
dered to sit down, he told me. Then
the gendarmes climbed up on the sur
rounding rocks and fired with their
rifles into the crowd of bound pris-
oners as long as they showed signs
of life.
"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 un-
soathed All the other men of that
and similar parties were ruthlessly
butchered.
