The Atrocities i'm Armenia!
Greeks of Asia Minor lie Dfven into Starvation

This is the fourth Of six articles on

The awful story Of the slaughterins
OF thousands Of defonseless Armenians
by Turks with axes, at the edge OF
trench graves the Armenlans had FIRST
been compelled to dig themselves, is
nothing to the tragedy which came with
the spring and summer Of 1915.
Then began the deportations Of Greeks
along the coasts OF the Aegean and
Black seas TO the desolate regions OF
The interior Greeks resident in Tur-
key, which, remember. is under COM
plete Prussian domination, have shared
the same fate as the Armenisns and
syrians.
The Greek colonists were scattered
all along the seacoast Of the Mediter-
ranesn, in the adjoining islands, and
south into Palestine: also along the
Black Sea coast and at cities In the
interior. They with the Armenlans and
Syrians, have formed the most pro-
gressive, intelligent and prosperous
element In the Turkish Empire
According to the latest reliable re-
ports from Constantlnople, at least
100000 Greeks have. been thus driven
into the desert and strange parts OF
the country to perish OF hunger

Thousands died Of starvation in the
great forced exodus, and their skele-

A letter recently received from Ath-

iunate Greeks deported into the purely

children and the weaker mothers died.

Even those Greeks who for one rea-
son or other were allowed TO remain
in their houses are in extreme distress
and destitution. The entire country Is
famine stricken, its people dying in the
streets from epldemlcs such as typhus
and cholera. Many cities are literally

LENGTH OF WIRELESS WAVE
Naturally, 1t Is Four Times That Of
the Aerial, But This Does Not
Always Hold Good.

In articles of wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 20O-meter wave
lengths, 60O-meter wave-lengths, 49,
OO0-meter wave-lengths are constantly
used. In reply to a correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
'"The length of an electric wave is
determined by wave-meter. The nat
ural wave-length of an aerial Is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave-length of a note of a closed or
gan pipe is four times the length of the
pipe, and the wave-length of the note
of q tuning fork is four times the
length of the box which is resonant
with the note. However, other con-
siderations make it difficult to measure
the wave-length by a rule, and the
wave-meter gives a more correct re-
suit than can be found by measuring
the length of the wire"

and Miss Wilson, who nursed him, did
not reveal her identity to him until
just as the boy was dying. She stayed
by him, closed his eyes, and then went
to Cairo and got an engagement as a
chorus girl. A little while later she
enlisted again, still in male clothes,
as a member of the Third Illinois.
She was taken to the headquarters

Major Pauline Cushman was one of
the cleverest servants the Union army
had throughout the war. She was an
actress who lived in Cleveland and
was employed as an officer of the
Union army. AS scout, spy, and sol

second to none in the Northern army.

she had saved his army.

There were four men in the house,
one being the child's father; they all

He Couldn't Lose.

One of the justices of the Supreme
court tells of a young lawyer in the
West who was trying his first case be-
fore the late Justice Harlan. The
youthful attorney had evidently cOnned
his argument until he knew it by heart.
Before he had consumed ten minutes
in his oratorical effort the justice had
decided the case in his favor and told
him so. Despite this, the young lawyer
would not cease. 1t seemed that he
had attained such a momentum that he
could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned for
