It has been conservatively estimated
by County Commissioner Beckett that
there were five thousand visitors in
Tarpon Springs last Friday. Mr..
Beckett said to The Leader man that
he considered it the greatest celebra-
ton in the history of the city. He
said the parade was at least one mile
long and remarked that many autos
had to go away out on the side streets
and as far as the Sponge Exchange
Cigar factory to find room to park.
Everyone is remarking about the
live bunch from Oldsmar.
The names of the guests present at
the luncheon Friday was not handed
in to The Leader until near noon Sat
urday and therefore was crowded out
of Saturdays Leader. Mrs. Ayres
said it was quite job to get them to-
gether for us and we certainly appre-
ciate her doing it. The list is printed
elsewhere in today's Leader.
Many people have asked The Leader
to explain why the city officials were
not present at the banquet to the Gov
ernor Thursday night. We said we
saw Mayor Brooks and Councilman
Cheyney there and supposed they
must have been sent to represent the
city.
Mrs. Cats was deeply touched by
the delicate manner in which the
Greek community expressed their
compliments to her. The Greeks have
a way of doing such things just right,
and the presentation of the American
Beauty roses was more appreciated by.

have been an emerald from the bot

profit. He said many things passed
through the City Market on which he
never cleared penny of profit, yet
he remarked that his great outlay in
putting in the magnificent market he
has-the finest in Florida-and the
refrigeration plant, had proved a pay
ing investment and he advises others
to make their business places the best
in their line, and they will get the
trade.
Mr.. Reigel said that in the month Of
January, 1918, he had transacted bus
mess greater by nineteen thousand
(not hundred) dollars than in Janu-
airy, 1917.
Surely Tarpon Springs is a good
town and deserving of a visit from
the governor.

Amsterdam. March 17.--While the
Turkish semi-official news agency is
telegraphing abroad reports of alleg-
ed atrocities committed by bands of
Armenians, the Armenian correspond
ence bureau at The Hague declares
that the re-entry of the Turks into
Trebizond, capital of the vilaYet of
the same name in Asia Minor, was
marked by fresh acts of savagery and
rioting. The plan was TO leave no Ar
menian alive in the re-occupied terri
tory.
According to news reaching the bu-
reau from its Balkan agency, thou
sands of Russian stragglers captured
by Turkish cavalry were shot, drown
ed or burned to death.
The Armenians were subjected to
indescribable tortures. Sacks filled
with children were thrown into the
sea: old women and men were crici-
fled or mutilated and all young wom-
en- and girls were handed over to the
Turks.

Probably the most ambitious of all
the attempts by the belligerents to
piece an opposing line has been made
by the French troops over widc
front in the Verdun sector. The at
tack was delivered after preparatory
artillery fire lasting ten hours. ac-

That the fighting was of sanguin-
AIRY character is indicated by the state
ment that the troops came into hand

Berlin that at another point in this
region the Germans penetrated French
positions and captured 200 prisoners,
