N eight days after the world '',' war
began tossed about among sub
marines and mines for four
wears before the bottle containing it was
washed up on the coast of France. The
Ell Paso Morning Times" tells the story:
Eight days after England had declared
war on Germany, August 4, 1914, Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Earhart, of Ell Paso, Tex,
were hurrying home from Europe. They had
been among the fortunate ones securing
passage for America and had succeeded IN
booking passage on the Cunard liner La
COMA. Six days out from England and
four days from New York. about midway
between London and the United States, Mr..
Earhart wrote a note, offering $40 for its
return, and placed it in bottle which he
cast overheard The note rcad

The bottle was sealed with only an ordinary
cork
"In his mail the other morning U. S.

Bank, found letter in which Mr.. Earhart's
note was inclosed With it came the fol-
lowing note:

"At the top of the note is the name and
address of the woman referred to. 1t is

Londs, France.
"Athough it had been tossing about the
ocean in the bottle for almost four years
the note written by Mr. Earhart is in perfect
condition. The ink has not faded and the
paper is almost as white as it was on the
day on which it was started on its long voy
age.
"a draft for 81 francs, which represents
the same amount as $40 in this country. has
been prepared by the City National Bank
and forwarded to the woman in France by
Mr. Stewart for Mr.. Earhart.

tonnat writes in "L'Illustra-
ton:
~The Americans from the day Of their en-
trance into the war have broken completely
with the sentimental method that leaves the
way open to useless discussions without
putting an end to them. They firmly be-
lieve that people ought not to attack their
ncighbors, but at the same time they stoutly
insist that there is no law which forbids
the energetic conduct of the war when one
is attacked None of them understands our
hesitation to lombard German cities or our
mldncss in regard to war prisoners. The
least details of their organization reveal
one will-to fight; single and definite OBJ
ject--to win.
"As friends of order, Immediately on their
arrival here their first act was to create
force--navy police-the task of which is to
aid the local police in maintaining harmony
between the soldiers and civilians. One
sees them at the crossings of narrow and
tortuous streets directing traffic with
melton of the hand without word
"On the rock which guards the entrance
TO the military post, in the barracks which
the French authorities have put at the dis
position eff the Americans, there has been
established the headquarters of the new
poice with magazines for their equipment.
The marines are at present all OF American
nationality, having received professional in
struction in the schools of Newport, Il. l.;
Norfolk, Va. Great Lakes Station, near
Chicago; San Francisco and in other schools.
The recruiting has improved in quality;
great number of young men of better fami-
lies are enlisting in the navy. The salaries
have been raised and the comfort is as
great as possible. Aboard his ship, even
aboard the destroyers, every sailor has hls
bed; the hammocks are used only by men
temporarily embarked.
Everything, in fact, has been constructed
so as to make the soldiers comfortable
as possible The sleeping rooms are vast;
the libraries are we'll stocked with books
and periodicals. In All old hall moving
nicture theatre has been established Here
divine service is also being celebrated on
Sundays.
From the enormous assembling Of ef-
fectiyes and materials arose the need of de-
vclopng the general means of provisioning
in the naval base. First of all, there was
the question of water. 1t solved after
few interviews took place between the
naval prefect and Admiral Wilson. The
American admiral ordered from America
the water pines and the material necessary
for the work Now the soldiers and the
civilians have all the water they want

"Come, Let Us Kill
Them!"

a y INSIGHT into the characteristics
y of the Armenian race may be
gained from the September issue of "The
Century Magazine" in which Nishan
Der-Hagopian writes:
"Armenia had regained her independence
in SILICA, but lost it again in 1875. The
Turks and the Huns had whispered to-
gether: These are the heirs. Come, Let
us kill them, that the inheritance may be
ours and the slaughter which has cried
out to the world for the last five hundred
years began.
armenia was hemmed in on the west by
the Ottoman power, constantly growing in
strength and numbers; on the north and
east by the Mongolians, under the leader
ship of Torgul Bey, ALI Arslan, Jenghiz
Khan and Tamerlane, who desired TO be
called the greatest warriors and the most
cruel sons Of the world on the south by
the Mahometans Of Egypt, under the Name
luke Sultan, who was no less formidable
than the others in his hatred Of the Chris
tians and his cruelty toward them.
"The Church has held the Armenian peo-

of unceasng persecution. The Armenians
had missionaries in British India sixty
three years before the British government
took possession of the country.
Armenian women are not allowed by the
men 10 work outside the house; all their
time is devoted to the care of the home
and the education and upbringing of the
children. After my fathers death, when
the Turks had pillaged and stolen our prop
erty-al the old heraldic treasures that
were priceless to our family-my mother
used to gather US together in the evenings
and read the Book of Job. Such is the
faith Of the Armenian women; and it is
to their wonderful training their practical
and beautiful Christianity, that the peace
fulness and obedience and moral strength
of the people are due.
"An uprising has never been known
among the Armenians, and yet their courage
is superlative. An evidence of this was the
holding of the pass to Ardjishs Valley in
April, 1915, by four soldiers against sew
eral thousand Turks for twenty-four hours.

Cyprus Celebrates

THE Greek inhabitants of the Island
of Cyprus are celebrating the for
tieth anniversary of their ''emancipa-
tion from Turkish misrule," and the
event inspired the following letter, re-
printed in part, from John A Georghion,
a New York law student, to "The Lib
orator." an American Hellenic news
paper:
Cyprus is the third largest island in the
Mediterranean, having population of 274,-
108 inhabitants, of whom 217, $50 are
Greeks. Situated in the easternmost basin
of that sea, it has ever since the dawn Of
history been the apple of dscord and the
contesting field OF rival nations struggling
for supremacy and lust of conquest.
"Yet, in spite of its important geographi-
cal position which made it of peculiar mill
tary value to all these nations, and as a
consequence of which it has been conquered
over and over again, its inhabitants have
preserved their national spirit intact i.
"On June A, 1878, more than 100000
Cypriots (such is estimated to have been
the population of the island at that time)
were virtually sold as cattle or slaves 10
Great Britain by the Sultan of Turkey as
a result of a covenant signed by the above
contracting parties at Constantinople.
Nevertheless, the Cypriots accepted the
change of the political regime which had
been thus imposed upon them with great
willingness and gratitude, because they
considered it only a transltory stage
leading to the fulflment of their national
aspirations.
ut is true that Great Britain had done
lot for Cyprus, and we Cypriots are CRATE
sul to her for delivering from the
barbarous and hdeous Turks. who have
ever been a perfect blight and curse to
the people subjected to their rule, but it is
far from truth to say that The island has
been transformed into the paradise or gar
den of the Near East The people have
many grievances against the local govern
mcnt but they have put them into the back
ground, because all their efforts since the
British occupation have been directed tow
ard their national emancipation
"On October 81, 1915, Great Britain. be-
ing fully aware of the aspirations of the
Greek inhabitants of the island offered to
cede it to Greece if the latter would enter
the on the side of the Allies. I'm
fortunately, Greece, being at that time un-
der the influence of the deposcd King Con-
stantine. who brutaly and treacherously
sacrificed the interests of his country on
the altar of his Germanism rejected the
offer. But the world has moved since that
time, and now Greece. under the leader
ship OF her greatest statesman, the man OF
iron will, the reconstructor OF the departed
glories Of Hellas. Eluetherios Veneselos. is
fighting on the side of the Allies and Amer
ica for the very ideals for which she has
always stood during her long, brilliant and
glorious career through the ages
"Now that the Cypriots are celebrating
the fortieth anniversary of their cmaaeipa
ton from the Turkish misrule, will Great
Britain, conscious OF her noble traditions,
repeat the example which she so altruisti-
cally and nobly set in 1864, BY the cession
OF the Ionian Islands to Greece"
