ARMENIAN C|RL. ESCAPES RAvACES
 OF TURKISH MOBS

London, Sept 2O---There was an in- teresting scene at the American Con- sulate- General few days ago, when Arax Muggerdichian, a pretty Ar menian girl, suddenly stepped out of a line of persons waiting to have their passports vised for America and, pointing to Vice-Consul Leslie IA. Davis, said hesitatingly to an at- tendant: "I believe that is the man that saved my life.'
 MT. Davis looked up and, catching sight of the girl, arose and greeted her. Its a long way from Turkish Armenia to London" said the Vice Consul. Tell me- how did you get here?"
 T have been travelling nearly a year, much of the time on foot she answered. "I have just come here from Baku, where I understand the British have recently landed troops. I am my way to New York, where I have relatives"
 Her father she said, was for more than 20 years dragoman of the Brit ish Vice-Consulate at Diar bakir, in Turkish Armnia, but the family had to flee to escape massacre. From Diarbakir they went to HaiTput and sought the protection of the Ameri- can Consul, then MT. Davir.
 ITO avoid being sent to a harem," /" said Miss Huggerdichian, T went as nurse into the American hospital and worked there for eight months. One of the patients there was a Turkish commtnder, and out of grati- tude to me he said that if ever I was in danger I could take refuge in his home, which was in Harput. One day II was out alone, when three Turks on horseback ran after me.
 Remembering what the Turkish commander had said, I ran to his house. which was near by, and there I was safe.
 From the window of the house I attracted the attention of some friends and got back to the American Consul's house.
 But with the massacres spreading g l it became unsafe for us to stop any longer at Harput, so we decided to escape. Our plans was to disguise ourselves as Kurds--the wandering tribes who are left alone spy the Turks.
 My mother, my two sisters, my little brother and myself got away undetected and endeavored to make our way to Baku. For many months we were with the Kurds. On the roadside we saw hundreds of the mu- tilated oorpses of our countrymen who had been, cruelty put to death by | the Turk.
 r At last we reached the Caspian Sea and got to Baku, where we were safe among our own people. At Baku they were looking forward to the coming of the British soldiers. Our party crossed Russia to Murmansk So long as we had money we were able to get sufficient food. When we reached Murmansk the

Take Jonescu, the Roumanian statesman is coming to America to tell us what the Germans have been doing to his country. Washington has already heard part of the story. And while, so far, Russia has been the standing example of what hap pens to a land which. in Germany's own words. "bows to her will" it appears that Roumania can teach us even more. She was smaller, she had not so much as a Lenine and Trotzky to defend her, and as @ result in Rou- mania Germany has been able really to work her will.
 She has executed at will hundreds of the principals in the war. Bra tiano, the war premier, is at present awaiting trial. And with him are most of Roumania's pacifist-socialist leaders, a majority of whom opposed the war.
 "The occupation of the country di- unfinished the population by about 800, 000," writes Dr. Fritz Karl Mann, in a recent official report to Berlin. And in another place we learn that this decrease in population means just plain deaths since Germany en- tered the country, most of them from disease and starvation. Also, even in one of the richest food coun- easily explained.
 In the Treaty of Bucharest, Ger many did not, on the surface, demand any money indemnity of Roumania. As the German secretary of state ex- pressed it, securities in natural pro ducts better corresponded to German interests" Which meant, first of all, oil and wheat. And Germany is now taking Roumanian oil at the rate of some 11,000 cars a month. But of the wheat she has taken far more.
 Patching on Roumanian Food.
 Since March she has virtually taken all the food that she could move; and she has seized the whole Roumanian transportation system, by rail and on the Danube, with which to move it. She has taken the root and fruit crops, compelling the owners to dry them, where possible. to make %their preservation and handling easier. She has seized the fisheries, and put them under forced labor. As for the wheat, from the harvests of 1917, 1918 and 1919 Germany demanded a minimum of 100000 tons, or about 66,000,000 bushels. Though the har- vest of 1917 was almost a failure, the Germans claim to have been able to take enough of it to feed all Ger many for 37 days. In 1918, of Rou- mania's wheat lands less than fifteen acres in the hundred have been pro- ductfve. But none the less Germany

WORKINCMEN
 NEED DRINK
New York Commercial Takes Firm Stand Against
 War Time Prohibition.


 In an editorial, Effect of Prohibi- tion on War Service" the New York Commercial, leading business news paper, declares:
 There has been so much written and spoken in regard to prohibition and its effect on the war service that a concise summary will help clear the minds of business men of many misconceptions.
 Tn the last analysis prohibition laws will directly affect taxation They will shift the burden of state taxes from luxuries to necessities and will impose increased taxes or corporations, co-partnerships, and in. dtviduals engaged in all lines of le. gitimate commercial activity.
 From a purely economical stand. point the enforcement of state prohi. b1t1on in the great individual com. monwealths such as New York Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsyl. vania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and other manufacturing and industria centers, will be onerous and place needless restrictions upon toilers. Ob. servations of the liquor traffic show: that the great majority of workins men who drink either beer. ale o1 other beverages take their drinks al the noon hour and while they are eating their monday meal. After strenuous work of the day they may slacken their thirst with drink, usu. ally beer, and this comprises their in. diligence. Inebriates are few among the hard working class who are em. ployed and who drink only in moder. ation.
 Certainly it would be the course Of common sense not to attempt the enforcement of strict prohibition ir states that have been uniformly wet since their creation as colonies
 Let the working men enjoy a: great a measure of individual free. dom as they can during the war per. Tod when they are called upon tt make extra physical effort to increase 1 production. The strict enforcement of prohibition in the army and nav, is military and not social regulation ana legislators should clearly distin guish between the two.
 | lolloFuon durlng the war anC prohibition as a social problem should be separated In the minds of our cit izens. War time prohibition creatins 1ll-will and discontent among ou working men cannot help decreasint their energy and producing power
 War time prohibition which would increase the tax on manufacturin. interests one-seventh would take z billion dollars annually away iron them which would otherwise be useC in greater production. Can we af ford to pay the cost of war time pro htbition during bur present crisis Cannot this question wait the sobe judgment of a nation at peace?"
