SYRIAN PEOPLE SUFFER
TERRIBLE HARDSHIPS

Fay E Livengood a, young man who
spent three years as a teacher in the
faculty of Euphrates college at Har-
poot. Turkey, was a visitor in Canon

ed short address on relief work in
Asia Minor al the Chautauqua tent at
the close of the regular program on
Tuesday afternoon Mr. Livengood.
who is accompanied by his wife, is
spending the summer organizing sub
committees in all of the more import
ant communities in Kansas and Colo
RADIO for the American committee for
Armenian and Syrian relief. which
has headquarters in New York Thus
far he has organized about thirty
towns in the two states; about one
third of them in Colorado.
Mr.. Livengood was in Syria when
the war broke out three years asp.
but did not know of the declaration of
hostiiities between Germany and Rus
STA until several days after the mobil-
ization of their armies had been or
dered. as he was on his way to Port
Said. Egypt. at the time. On arrival
there. however. he found the greatest
excitement prevailing among all
classes of people. Europeans and ma
tives alike The banks were refusing
TO cash drafts. checks. etc, and it was
impossible TO obtain money of any
kind. as business of every character
was paralized. The outbreak of the
war caused. according to Mr.. Liven-
good. fully as much privation and suf-
fering among the people Of the Far
east as it did among the subjects OF
he belligerent countries in Europe.
In many sections there Were massa-
cres and wholesale 'assassinations and
famine stalked abroad in the land.
especially in Armenia. Syria. Meso-
potomia. Persia and the adjacent
countries. Hundreds OF thousands OF
people. perhaps. millions of them.

kish troops out into the desert to die
of starvation. or were put TO the

Not since the days of Mohommed,

Tuesday. has such cruelty. fiendish-
ness and inhumapity been manifested
in Asia Minor. as has been the case
during the last three years. A verit-
able reign of terror prevails In many
sections and the native populations
is threatened with extinction in some
localities by murde rand starvation.
Many of the most uncomfortable of
the cruelties perpetrated on the peo-
pie of Armenia by the Turkish sol
diery were inspired by German mill
tary Officers.
| Mr.. Livengood spoke briefly at the
Chautauaua tent Tuesday afternoon
in explanation OF the awfuiness OF
conditions prevailing in Syria and Ar
menia and made plea to the people
of Canon City to help them in their
| destitution and suffering; As n result
of his talk committee for Armenian
and Syrian relief in Canon City was
formed with the Following members: !:

DIRECT TAXES OF s33 EACH

The war tax bill, extending its ex-
ciscs to the fabric of every American
home, formally was presented 10 the
House Wednesday sby the Ways and
Means comittcc, with plans for quick
passage.
As a forctastc Of what may come
later, IL proposes special taxes 10
raise 100000, 900, in addition 20
the present normal annual revenue
Of 81 100000, 1000. When its terms
are effective, the American pcoplc
will be paying direct taxes Of S33
for each person. The people of the

taxes Of 500 for each person

WILLING 10 SERVE

Mr. George j. Bright, who served
vallantly in the Civil War as IA sol
der under Forest. tells the !. J. that
his services are at the disposal of his
country now or at any other time he
is called. He, of course, could not
shoulder a gun and do much fighting
in the trenches, but he is willing 60
do whatever he can in these parlous
times that would rebound to the in
tcrcst of his country The suggestion
is made that old soldiers he selected
to act as registrars when the work
Of drafting for the army begins. Mr.
Bright will gladly serve in that capac-
ity and asks no remuneration for his
services If enough old vets could be
gotten to do the work that way a
big saving to the government would
be made and at the same time the
work would be well done.
