CHURCHES TO UNITE
IN SERVICE THURSDAY
Offering Will Be Taken for
Relief of SyrianS and
ArmenianS.
REV. HAYNE TO SPEAK
Refugee Writes of Cruelties
Practiced Against His
People bv Turks.

Union Thanksgiving services of all
the Protestant churches will be held
at the Christian Church at 1890
o'clock Thursday morning. The Rev.
S. W. Hayne will be the speaker, and
there will be special music. An offer
ing will be made for the Syrian and
Armenian relief fund.
In connection with the Armenian
relief work, an Armenian professor $
son, MOoshek Vorperian, who es-
capped from Turkey. crossed the
mountains into Russia and finally
came to America, writes his ex-
periences.
In March. 1915. the town in which
he lived was suddenly surrounded by
Turkish soldiers and all the prOmi-
nent Armenian merchants, doctors,
dentists, professors and business men
were imprisoned. Some were tor
tured numerically and then cruel
fed After two months of tOrturing
the men. the Turkish government or
dered all Armenians to be deported
to the Syrian and Arabian deserts.
and in July, 1915, 5000 Armenians,
the most prominent men in the cities,
with their wives and families, began
to move toward the deserts.
A Turkish soldier fell in love with
Vorperians sister and wanted to
marry her, but the father would not
give his consent.
Men and Women Separated.
At Malata, the birthplace OF his
father, the Armenians were surround
ed by other Turkish troops and the
men were separated from the women.
The men were thrown into one dun
geon and the women into another.
BY chance the boy got into the wom-
ems and children's prison, and It was
lucky for him that he did, for in a
few hours, at midnight, all the men
were taken out and killed with axes
and knives. One of the Turkish SOL
diers remarked that they did not use
guns because cartridges cost cents
each.
That same night the officer who had
asked for the boys sister came and
took her away. She wept and plead
ed with him to take her family also.
and he allowed her to take her fam
lily back with her.
The $500 women that were left
were robbed of their money, their
carts, their goods and their clothes,
and in desperation many threw them |
selves into the river.
Their Property COnfiscated.
When the boy, his mother, brother
and sisters returned to their home,
the Turkish government had confis- |
Gated all of their property. For |
months they lived under the prOtec-
tiOn of the American consul and the |
American missionaries.
1t was the intention of the Turkish |
government to kill every Armenian
student OF the 500 boy students in
the American college, where he stud
led, only five escaped.
After many hardships, the five
refugees finally came to the Russian /
army, and the Russians were kind to
them; but even in that Christian land,
Armenians who had escaped the
sword of the Turk were starving day |
by day because the Russians did not
even have food for themselves.
In conclusion, MOoshek Vorperian
says: in Russia and in other places,
Christians are starving while millions

DEFEAT At LAST, 4-3
After Winning 10 Games,
Tigers Lost Final to the
IayhawkerS.

The Missouri baseball team showed
4 complete reversal of form on ROl-
Inns Field yesterday and lost the last
game of the season to Kansas by a
ecore of 4 to 8, thereby breaking a
winning streak of sixteen games.
voither team played good ball, but
with Poirer pitching in good form
the Jayhawkers took on a new lease
of life and, aided by numerous Mis-
souri errors of commission and omis-
sion. won the decision in poorly
played game.
Giltner pitched for Missouri and
famed thirteen kansans, but the few
Jayhawkers who did manage to reach
base did an immense lot of damage.
Kansas had no earned run. but it was
hardly necessary to earn runs yes
terday. For instance, Giltner famed
the first eight batters who faced him,
and the ninth out came when Norris
cut down a man stealing. Sand
wiched in between the various strike
outs, however, were several bases on
balls, and three Missouri errors.
Result-twO Kansas runs.
Missouri staged near rally in the
ninth inning. when Morris led off
with a base on balls. Mcmillan laid
down a pretty sacrifice, and, with a
man on second and only one down.
Missouri rooters had hopes of vic
tory. POirer then picked off Slusher
on strikes, and it was up to Owens.
His best effort was a grOunder to
short, and Fosters throw to Weber
ended Missouri's record of victories.
POirer's pitching was worthy of
notice, and the Kansas second-string
man must be given credit for his
clever work in stopping the Tiger
winning streak From a Missouri
standpoint. Giltner's slashing triple
and his pitching stand out promi-
nently. The Missouri southpaw
pitched good ball, although the five
passes which he issued counted
heavily against him in the final re-
suit.

trine Of the Western Hemisphere.
The present war in Europe is a war
between democracy and despotism.
The Hindenburg line which is now
cracking under the pressure of Allied
arms is the line drawn between these
two opposing principles of national
and international politics We must
congratulate ourselves that the Allies
course has already won a decisive
spiritual victory by the entrance of
this great republic of yours on our
side. When this stupendous war is
over every country in the world will
come nearer and nearer to democ-
racy, although there will be a diff
ference in the form of government
according to the characteristics of
the respective nations. A more
democratic world means a more i'm
portant mission for journalists. Your
responsibility will be greater, and
your influence will be stronger. Let
me again hope that the pen of Amer
ican and Japanese journalists be al
ways used not to kill people, but to
save them.
The center of world civilization is
now gradually shifting, and a new
era of civilization is dawning on the
Pacific with immeasurable possibili-
ties. Japan and the United States are
destined to be the most prominent
actors in this coming great worlds
drama. With the cooperation of all
of us, let the new era be the era of
peace and brotherhood, and of justice

passage of the address of Viscount
Motono, our Minister for Foreign
Affairs, which was made at the open
ing of the latest session of the I'M
perial Diet:
Il notice with great pleasure the
symptoms of real sympathy for some
time between Japan and the United
States. A proposal for common
financial action in China has been
made by American capitalists. The
Imperial Government will follow with
lively interest the development of the
economic approachment between the
two countries"
We have every reason to welcome
such an apprOachment as our For
eign Minister mentioned, because it
is beneficial to all parties concerned
China, Japan and United States
and because it will be strong guar
anty of the political stability Of the
Far East.
Entrance of U. s. a Moral Victory.
AS to the story of our plot in Mex
leo, it is entirely out of the question.
The expose of the notorious thinner
man note and the subsequent devel-
Opments of the event, have clearly
shown to the world that our national
ideals absolutely detest such sneaky
and underhanded diplomacy. Japan

Before a large Journalism Week
crowd, Missouri humbled Kansas on
Rollins Field Friday afternoon, 8 to
?. The victory gives the Tigers un-
disputed possession of the Missouri
Valley baseball championship. A
Kansas victory could not have kept
Missouri out of the title, but with an
even break in the fOurgame series
Kansas could have claimed the honor
of stopping the Tiger winning streak.
Kansas was at no time dangerous
after the first inning. The Jayhawk-
ers led off with a run in the first. but
after the Tigers put over two mark
ers in their first time at bat Kansas
showed little fight, and the game was
all Missouri.
