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 lay around un.
der the blazing sun with no one to
care for them. waiting for the end.
One place saw 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 lone trench was dug
beside the field where these people
were encamped. The people them.

As soen as one died she was dragged

In January, 1916, DR.. Riggs said.
there were 48s,000 deported Armen-
ians in Mesopotamia. while In May.
1917, the most careful investigation
showed only $4,000 survivors. more
than three-quarters having perished
from famine. pestilence and massacre
in fifteen months.
America Has Helped.
"The only bright feature Of this ter.
ribie picture is the help that has
actually reached q fraction of these
people through relief funds from
Americas ever-ready generosity" DR..
Riggs said. I'm Harput we were able
to give daily rations OF bread to near
" 5000 widows and orphans. If more
money had come there we're 10000
within reach equally in need. Upon
the rupture of diplomatic relations the
Turkish government conhscated our
food supplies and many of these peo-

Since then, however, DR.. Riggs con-
tinued, arrangements have been made
to continue the relief work through
neutral agents who are disbursing the
funds and supplies gathered through
the American committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian re'ief in New York
City. The question OF saving the
remnant OF the Armenian race, he
said. can be solved only by American

'The Armenian men are dead he
said, and the women have been
crushed and cannot long survive the
terrible experiences through which
they have passed But there are 400
600 orphan children, most of whom
are begging their bread today. The
hope OF the future is in gathering to-

them for the seed of the future Ar

Urge Privileges Of
Politics for the Men
Abroad in Trenches

Washington. Oct. l4.--The War de-
partment at the request of state
officials is considering the practicable
ity of extending to the troops in
France the same privileges as to vot-
ing or otherwise continuing their par
ticipation in the political life of the
country that are to be granted to SOL
diers training in the United States.
The question presents many difficult
ties and no decision has been reached.
Il has been held that the troops in
France are on American soil within
the purpose Of the law, but some army
officials feel that it would be carry
ing the effort to protect civilians
rights to an extrem to attempt 10

The League for Woman's Service
Wants Clubs Organized IN Every
City With a Military Population

New York, Oct l3.-To educate
the communities to realization Of
their responsibility for safeguarding
the morals of the troops quartered in

some amusement for the men, are the
principal points toward which mill
tary social work should, be, directed,
according to statement issued by

Service. Following its successful ex-

for soldiers and sailors in New York.
the league is now planning to extend

operation with the military authorities
and the Young Mems Christian asso-
ciation.
Matters of food, shelter, clothing
and sanitation are necessarily under
government control" says the state
ment, "but the important question of
the moral environment surrounding
the young men and boys in the army
depends very largely upon the COM
munity in or near which they are
quartered. Communities which have
not done so must awake to realiza-
tion of the fact that it is as much
their duty to aid in safeguarding the
soldier as it Is the governments duty
to provide for his health and training.
Decent Amusement Wanted.
Attempts to suppress the social
evil without providing healthy forms
of amusement are likely to prove in
effective; nor viii the problem be
solved by educating the men and ap-
pealing to their better natures. What
is wanted is whole.hearted efforts on
the part of authorities and citizens to
provide places where the soldiers off
duty can find decent amusement in re-
fined surroundings. 1t Is the expert
ence of those who have undertaken
social work since America began to
concentrate its fighting forces. that
the men are only too glad to spend
their spare time in such places.

Union Government
In Canada Assured
Under F. B. Carvell

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 14.-Success for
union government under Premier
Borden was assured today, when F.
B. Carvell of New Brunswick took
office as minister of public works and
Premier George Murray of Nova
Scotia consented to become secre-
tary of state.
Mr.. Carvell has been the most ac-
tive and effective opponent of the
conservative government. His atti-
tude was more feared than that of
any other member of the opposition.
He supported compulsory military
service and broke with his leader, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, on that issue.
Mr.. Murray never has been in fed
eral politics, but has shown great
strength in his own province and re-
Gently was returned with a great ma
jority in general provincial election.
When Mr.. Murray takes Office the
formation Of the new government will
have been completed.

creased since it opened, until now one
may find 800 or 400 OF them there al

friends and relatives, including many
young girls, attend as hostesses and

are writing, reading and game rooms
open all the time, and refreshments
consisting of sandwiches, cakes, ice

A Club in Every Town.
I'm every town there should be as
many clubs of this kind as necessary
to accommodate the permanent or

this pressing necessity. Social clubs
have already been established by the
league at several points and it is plan

possible. Capable women who wish
to perform national service of this
kind are welcomed by the league and
assigned to its department of social
and welfare work. In addition, this
department is glad to furnish to in
dependent groups information on how
to start and maintain soldiers club

COntinue0 from rage One.b
tile in r ..ssia and therein lies the sue
cess OF the Bolsheyiki.
Russ Suffer Much.
The sufferings of all the countries
involved in the present conflict are
enormous, but probably it is safe to
say that, aside from Belgium, no coun-
try has suffered so much as Russia.
To the usual sufferings imposed by
the war were added the terrible
crimes of the old regime. II monarchy
in Russia had died twelve years ago,
during the first revolution. 1t would
have been a natural death, and both
sides would have gained by it. The
principle of monarchy and the car
himself would not have been so hated
as now, and, on the other hand, the
country would not have been poi
soned as it now is. The monarchic
system. in its practically unlimited
form, was dead in Russia long ago,
and decaying, poisoned all the atmos-
phere around it.
Ike Poisonous Cancer.
The Bolsheviki danger is like a can
Ger. Ifis is not operated on in time it
is bound to grow till ii reaches the
vital organs and kills the patient,
The situation in Russia is critical
and dangerous and the determination
OF Kerensky in creating the coalition
cabinet is the bright spot in the situ-
alton. Pursuing this course, Kerensky
will have against him the Bolsheviki,
but with him will be entire Russia, at
least IS per cent OF the revolutionary
democracy still unaffected by the ter
rible disease, anarchy. A physical
clash between the Bolsheviki and the
forces supporting the provisional gov
ernment is almost inevitable, and
under the circumstances it need not
create fear. There are very few
chances that the Bolsheviki will sud-
denly understand the seriousness OF
the situation and sincerely yield to the
provisional government. Most proba-
bly, they will not do so, and therefore
the sooner the inevitable clash comes
the better for Russia, for Russian de-
mocraey and for the great cause Of the
worlds democracy.

of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable CONF

the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub

Records.

Captain William +. Harrell, of the
local recruiting station this morning
declared that despite the large num-
ber of recruits making application for
enlistment the American people in
general do not seem to realize that the
nation is really at war and that for
NAL declaration of war has been is
sued. Many recruits from the outly-
Ing districts do not seem to be able
to grasp the fact that they may be
needed for real action, although with
some of them that is the chief at
traction. The average man viii
rather see active service that to be
held at a station in time of peace, "
Captain Harrell says.
Acting upon the authority of the
War Department eolored applicants
can now be accepted for original as
signment to the infantry or cavalry.
The requirements have been made
easier and men who can neither read
nor write will be accepted provided
they can speak the English language.
223 This Month
In report made this morning to
the War Department for the first ten
days of April, Captain Harrell was
able to report q total of 223 enlist
ments, For corresponding period in
February onlv SO men were enlisted
from this station. This total for April
almost equals the entire number of
men enlisted during 1916.
Quartermaster Quirk of the naval
recruiting station this morning left OH
trip through the Cumberland Valley
to interest young men in the advant-
ages of the navy. During his absence
the local station will be in charge of

came here this morning. He was ac-
companied by two iackies on a leave
of absence from their ships stationed
in Hampton Roads, near Norfolk.
