Turkey is becoming more pro-
American every day" said II. A. Will
lie. of Chicago, a member of the Ar
menian relief workers of New York in
addressing a meeting at the Masonic
Temple last night in connection with
the Patriots fund work. Mr.. Willet
was called at the last moment to take
The place of DR.. Charles Aked, who for
some reason was unable to appear.
He stated that Djemal Pasha. who
ccatrols the Turkish army, is strongly
m the American side and that officials
Of Turkey have In secret conferences
voiced their pro-Americanism. Mr..
Willet stated that the stories he tells
are absolute facts, he having spent
three years in Turkey, going there
Two years after that country had en-
tered the war. He Is talking in var
,ous cities for the purpose of creating
sufficient patriotism among the Amer
lean people to influence them to donate
funds for the supporting Of the Ar

He said that Rock Island would do its
share by giving s7,400 towards the
work and urged that every loyal man
in the city do his bit In the coming
Patriots campaign which is to be
launched in March.
Pictures Brutality.
Mr.. Willets' talk was interesting
throughout He pictured scenes that
would make anyone realize the bru-
tality of the Turkish peoples. In one
particular instance he told Of how
1000 Armenian women and children
we're taken into the desert where the
sun was the hottest and were placed
within seeing distance Of a well OF
cool water. "Those women and chill
dren died OF thirst in four days and
we're allowed to remain there on the
desert, prey to the vultures," he said,
In the course Of his address he told
Of the formation of the Turkish army
How 100000 men died in the train
ing camps because of the lack of prev
ious preparation by the proper au-
thorities. He stated that throughout
the Turkish people proved that they
we're not a fighting unit. He told OF
the time when 10000 Turkish soldiers
made crude attempt to confiscate the
Suez canal which resulted in thou
sands of the men dying in the desert
while others surrendered to England

OF some more lucky family with the
hopes that they might find a small
portion OF fat In the water to give
,hem strength. He told how he had
seen women and children dying around
nun because Of the lack OF food Ha
sa'u mat for six or seven weeks the
people would survive and then their
bodies wpuld I'll the streets. of how
the Armenian girls were sold In the
markets for the Turkish harems and
even LOT meat; OF how more than 5000
OF the girls went crazy as the result of
lhe atrocities they suffered at the
hands OF the Turkish people who were
iTylng TO drive the Armenian people
from the country because of their
wealth and position. He stated that
30 per cent OF the population Of Turkey
is composed Of Armenians, Greeks and
Assyrians.
Forced BY Germans.
According to Mr.. Willet Turkey en-
tered the war after being forced to do
SO by Germany and was entirely un-
prepared The people were bled for
taxes despite the fact that they OBJ
1ected TO German rule. In the Suez
canal case he stated that the Turks
did not want to confiscate the prop
erty, knowing that England and
France were their best friends. In
conclusion he stated that 100000 Ar
menian people were alive before the
war started, whereas there are only
100000 surviving at the present day
These must be taken care of. He
stated that five dollars would feed and
support one of these people for q
month in one of the American mission
aries and asked the people to do theil
bit in taking care Of the Armenian
people which can be done by sub
| scribing to the Patriots fund in the
| March campaign.
Mr.. Willets' entire address was in
| teresting throughout. His picturint
of the horrors in Turkey during The
present war were horrible enough t
make every loyal American citizen d.
his bit towards helping the relic
work. Although several were disap
! pointed in not hearing Dr. Aked, Mr.
Willets' address was an excellent sub
| stitute.
H. L. Vernon, acting as chairman o.
the session. introduced J. F. Witter
who explained clearly in detail tn
work of the Patriots drive. He tolt
| why the Rock Island people SHOULD
| contribute to the fund and explained
exactly where the money would go. HI

talk was centered on the situation

Many years ago, when Connie Mack
was the Milwaukee catcher, the club
opened the season with several sore
arm veteran pitchers. There was one
youngster with the club who did not
complain of this trouble, so they sent
him to the slab. Milwaukee was beat
en- something like 16 to 4. The kid
pitcher was downcast. 'The umpire
didn't give me any the best of it," he
said by way of an alibi.
"No," replied Joe Cantillon, who had
overheard the remark; neither did the
opposing batters give you any the best
of it."
The kid walked off in huff. Connie
Mack turned to Cantillon. I'll say this

Punishments and Machine-Gun StuntA
Soon after my arrival in France; In
fact, from my enlistment, had found
that in the British army discipline is
very strict. One has to be very care
full in order to stay on the narrow path
of government virtue.
There are about seven million ways
of breaking the kings regulations; to
keep one you have to break another.
The worst punishment is death by
firing squad, or sup against the WALL"
as Tommy calls it.
This is for desertion, cowardice, niue
tiny, giving information to the enemy,
looting, rape, robbing the dead. forcing
a safeguard, striking superior, etc.
Then comes the punishment of sixty
four days in the front-line trench with
out relief. During this time you have
to engage in all raids, working parties
in No Mans Land, and every hazardous
undertaking that comes along. If you
live through the sixty-four days you
are indeed lucky. e

an engaging occupation. Tear piece

it may be any size, about two by four

in the middle it will make little tent.

both ends down for table. The child
can tear paper into trees. a ball, dou
