New England's
 Famous "Dark Day.

The words Dark Days apply to number of days in which the sun light appears to have been remarkably dim or altogether absent. In our country however, the term is speci- cally applied to May 19, 178O, which is also known as "Black Friday" Other notable dark days'' in the United States were October 21. 1716, and October 19, 1762, The darkness of the Dark Days of May 19, was principally observed in lower Canada, the New England states and the up- per part of some of our northern states. The darkness is known to have resulted from a combination of ordinary cloudiness combined with the smoke from forest and prarie fires On this May day in 1780 the wind was southwest with occasional light rains. As the. day grew, the dark ness increased and the terror among the ignorant was great. As a matter of fact, even those who were not con sidered were little scared themselves for at the time the reason for the unusual darkness was unknown. In certain sections of the country the re- markable phenomenon was ascribed 10 supernatural causes.

flames at night and the inhabitants left to save themselves as best they could or perish in the conf1agration. For thirty years the people knew no peace. Children were born and grew to manhood and womanhood and never knew that anything but fire and the sword ruled the world. It is na- tural, therefores that people took to rowing and in some cases never settled in one spot for any great length of time. They had no occupation, so they took to stealing. which was their only means of preventing death by starvation. At that, there wasn't much to eat, for the land went to waste under long neglect. The war began in 1912 because of religious differences and did not end until 1648 when the Treaty of Westphalia was signed. This war left it's burden up- on Germany for over two hundred years.

Armenia Has Lost Since War Started
 100000 People

London, April 21 (By MaiI)-In the midst of the hury-burly of war there are a few persons in London-just a few-giving some thought to what is to become of Armenia after the war. Not Belgium, Serbia, nor Poland has suffered as Armenia has suffered. These figures explain:
 Armenians living in Armenia
 before the war ....s 2,0O0, ,0Oo Armenians shot. knifed, burn
 ed, stoned, drowned and
 otherwise put to death by
 the Turks (wel authenti-
 cated fgures) 1000, ,000 Armenians unaccounted for
 from among those driven
 into the desert .... 100000 Armenians in Constantinople,
 western Asia Minor and
 Russia .......... 6O0,00O
 The new Armenia that is to be re- constructed after the war thus has a basis of only 60O,0 men, women and children, unless it be found that some of those driven into the desert have survived. These 6o0,O00 must be brought back into Armenia from the other side of the Russian border and from Constantinople, where they have enjoyed comparatively immunity.
 The restoration of a nation from such a basis would seem almost hope less, but Armenians in London be- lieve it will be done. Lord Bryce former ambassador to the United States, who, as he expressed it, has been studying the case of Armenia for 40 years, believes it will be done
 "The change in Russia has been a most fortunate thing for Armenia ' said Lord Bryce. "The Armenian peo- pie may expect more from the Russian people than they obtained from the Russian government in the past.''
 We think that this may prove the last horror through which our people will have to go.'' said A. S. Safrastian who after two years fighting with the Armenian legion of the Russian army has returned to the London School ot Economics to earn his doctors de- gree.
 we want Armenia for ourselves entirely free of Turkish rule. A pro- tectorate by Russia, Great Britain or even the United States-could in 8 generation or two see an Armenian nation safely established and prosper ing"
 A limited monarchy is Safrastian's idea of the most progressive govern

DEVASTATION IN WAR


 The scenes enacted in northern France today and which are horrify- ing the world as the Germans ruth lessly destroy everything that cannot be carried away during their retreat, are nothing new to history. Germany herself has seen and suffered these things and even worse, for not alone was the land and what stood upon it trampled under the hoofs of the war god, but her people had became al- most nomadic from being driven from one place to another in constant fear of an invading enemy. This happen ed toward the end of the Thirty Years war.
 During that terrible conflict cities throughout Germany were sacked and their citizens killed by the thousands Whole sections of towns were set in
