relief expedition carrying physicians.

nounced here today by the American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief.
The United States government"

the committee a 7,000-ton transport
which will sail about the middle OF
January with a commission OF agri.
cultural experts, doctors, nurses
medical supplies and great numbers
of modern American farm imple-
ments which will be used in increas-

Another from Po.: Said declared
5000 children were destitute and
asked for 100000 for Red Cros:
purposes. Cables from Turkey said
100000 deported Armenians assem-
bled at various towns in hopes of re.
turning to their homes, were starving
and that only 10000 of these might
survive; without immediate relief
only one quarter of Armenia's pop

vest, the death rate amounting to
10000 monthly. More than 100000
were virtually unclad, the message
declared, and supply of clothing

American Chart Accepted.
ut happened that it was the
privilege of America to present the
chart for peace, and now the pro-
cess of settlement has been rendered
comparatively simple by the fact
that all the nations concerned have
accepted that chart and the appli-
cation of these principles laid down
there will be their application. The
world will now know that the ma
tons that fought this war, as we'll
as the soldiers who represented
them, are ready to make good, make
good not only in the assertion OF
their own interests, but make good
in the establishment of peace upon
the permanent foundation of right
and of justice.
Because this is not a war in
which the soldiers CT the free ma
tons have obeyed masters. You
have commanders, but you have no
masters. Your very commanders
represent you in representing the
nation, of which you constitute so
distinguished a part.
"And everybody concerned in the
settlement knows that it must be
peoples peace and that nothing
must be done in the settlement of
the issues of the war which is not
as handsome as the great achieve
ments of the armies of the United
States and the allies.
Hearts of America Thrilled.
1T is difficult, very difficult, men,
in any normal speech like this to
show you my real heart. You men
probably do not realize with what
anxious attention and care we have
followed every step you have ad-
vanced and how proud we are that
every step was in advance, and not
in retreat; that very time you set
your face in any direction you kept
your face in that direction.
"A thrill has gone through my
heart, as it has gone through the
heart of every American, with al
most every gun that was fired and
every stroke that was struck in the
gallant fighting that you have done
and there has been only one regret
in America and that was the regret
that every man there felt that he
was not there in France, too.
1T has been hard thing. to per-
form the tasks in the United States;
it has been hard thing to take part
in directing what you did without
coming over and helping you to do
it. 1t has taken a lot of moral cour-
age to stay at home. But we are
proud to back you up everywhere
that it was possible to back you up.
And now am happy to find what
splendid names you have made for
yourselves among the civilian popu-
lation of France, as we'll as among
your comrades in the armies of the
French, and it is fine testimony to
you men that these people like you
and love you and trust you, and the
finest part of it all is that you de-
serve their trust.
II feel a comradeship with you
today, which is delightful, as I look
down upon these undisturbed fields
and think of the terrible scenes
through which you have gone and
realize how the quiet of peace, the
tranquility of settled hopes, has de-
scended upon US. And, while it is
hard, far away from home, confden-
TALLY to bid you a Merry Christmas.

Use you Happy New Year, and l can
from the bottom of my heart say

Effective Immediately, No
More Direct Shipments

All Shipments Now Go

button.

Whe~ the influenza epidemic
struck the country and wiped out
our warehouse and jobbers' stocks
almost overnight, we were faced
with the problem of distributing
to the stricken districts-in the
quickest possible manner - our
daily output of VapoRub. We
solved this by offering to ship di-
rect to the retailers in these influ-
enza districts, by parcel post pre-
paid, quantities of not more than
three dozen VapoRub in any one
shipment, and by shipping what was
left from our daily production to
our jobbers by express instead of
freight.
This was costly, but it solved the
problem for the time being. Now,
however, we find that these small
shipments are constantly increas-
ing-we have received as many as
1906 in a single mail. 1t is becom-
ing impossible for US to fill these

Urges Daily Reports Of
Peace Conference Results

Manchester, Dec. 25.-"When we
speak Of eliminating secrecy, we do
not, OF course, mean that reporters
should attend the peace conference,
but that, though the discussions are
private. the results should be pub
lished and that not at the close OF
the negotiations, but throughout
them"
This view was expressed today bv

Guardian, in = talk with the Asso-
ciated Press on the question OF

A Readers Plea for Paul

The case of Paul Chapman the six
teen year-o boy who is under sentence
of death for murder which he did not
actually commit. is an unusual one.
Therefore, it follows that an unusual
method should be pursued in an endeavor
to remove the cause of evil in him.
This is his first offence. Despite the
frightfulness and enormity of his sup
posed crime, theoretically it must still
be considered first offence. The force
of circumstances must be taken into con-
sideration
A pardon would bring with it full
release into the community. This is i'm
possible because of the menace to the
community.
The reformative values of reform
school are doubted by many. Certainly
such influence as seems to exist there
would only further obstruct the develop
ment of this boy.
Yet Chapman is in need of scientific
training so that the source of euil in him
be ~hliterated.
efore, suggest the following
un. athod: Yes, pardon him, but:
/. Make his probation of the most
rigid sort--he must report every single
day to the proper authority.

Few of the Women Who Are Running for Nomination

wanted to hand the district over to Mrs.
Lilly, but because there wasn't a shadow
of a chance to get the district any other
way. The political theory that a strong
woman could get the woman vote solid
and maybe pull the district through on a
squeak was the actuating motive of the
chieftains of Tammany Hall.
The Republicans, surrounded on all
sides by strong Democratic districts,
have seized upon the same plan in an
effort to climb out of what is always a
tight hole in this Tammany city. They
have designated five women to run for
various offices, not one of whom, with
the possible exception of Mrs Frances
Brewer, of Staten Island, who is running
for the State Senate, can count on the
normal vote of the district to ele~ ! her.
Whether our women candidates are
elected or not, however. does not matter
SO much this first time as the fact of
their candidacy. Their campaigns will
probably be infinitely more illuminating
to the politically CURIOUS than the YER

2. Change his name for probationary
period.
3. Cooperating with some philanthro
pist, give him a start in the business
world.
4. Make it necessary for him to follow
a prescribed course of education elect
ures, literature, etc.
5. Also, he shall follow a prescribed
form of recreation.
| have suggested the above only from
theoretical standpoint, and realize that
practical notifications might be neces
sary.
Chapman's case indeed presents many
complexities We know there is evil in
him, yet for all that normal tendencies
and impulses also animate him. The
case offers opportunities for experiment
whereby the science Of citizenship should
be enriched.
He must not be executed, he should
not be released into unregulated free
dom, reform school will not serve
therefore why not as have suggested.
The Tribune indeed performs civic
service in giving opportunity for collec-
ton of consensus of opinion concerning
this matter which is so vital to civiliza-
ton. Bessie C. Zehren.

AN PARTY


Charles S. Whitman is serving his
second term, and is candidate to sue
coed himself. Before his election as
Governor. in 1914, he made note
worthy record as District ATTORNEY of
New York County. His vigorous prose
cution of the murderers Of Rosenthal,
the gambler, led to the execution Of
Police Lieutenant Becker and several Of
the gunner, giving the District ATTORNEY
q reputation all over the state. The Gov
ernor's supporters point with pride to his
advocacy and support of legislation gov
erning woman and child labor. Of tenn
perance legislation; of his support Of
the Federal Administration in its prose
cution of the war; that lie has put New

paredness; and that he has consistently
advocated government of, by and for
the people-both' men and women peo-
pie.

By SARAH ADDINGTON

THOR the first time in New York
State women have thrown their
bonnets into the ring to take
their places in the political life Of the
state as officeholders.
1t looks to an unpractised eye as if
many of them would not be elected.
Their parties have not made election
simple walk-in for the women. The
Democrats of New York City have con-
sistently ignored women on their pri-
mary lists, with one xception-they
have designated Mrs Mary M Lilly as
the organization candidate for the AS

Political Editor. The Neac York Tribune
HNROLLED women voters who in
~. tend to vote in the primaries will
be better satisfied with results
if between now and primary day, Sep
TENDER 3, they give close attention to
few important details and keep in mind
the fact that they must vote in the pri-
mary at the polling place of the party
with which they are enrolled.
The purpose of this article is to give
briefly information with reference to
the candidates for party nominations
for state offices.
The candidates in the list to follow
will appear on the primary ballots on
primary day, September 5.
There is more interest among the
politicians in the Republican primaries
because, on the face of the figures, the
Republicans have a winning margin
taking the state as a whole and counting
both men and women--of close to $780,
600 votes. The Republicans have been
in power in the state since January /.
1915, when Governor Whitman was in
stalled; Whitman was reelected two
years ago, and is again candidate.
In addition to the main parties-Re-
publican and Democratic-the candi-
dates of the other two organizations,
Prohibition and Socialist, are briefly dis
cussed.
In addition to the names of the can
didates for state offices the primary bal
lots will carry the names of candidates
for Justice of the Supreme Court, for
Congress, State Senate, Assembly and
for members of the State Committee in
all the counties Nor is this all. In
Kings the various parties have candi-
dates for County Judge, and in two dis
tricts there are candidates for the
Board of Aldermen. Both in Queens
and in Richmond a Sheriff is to be
elected.
The primary elections will be held in
the same place where the enrolment of
women, on May rs, took place. Polls
will be open September 3 from l a. M
to 8 p. m. But remember that if you did
