ARMENIAN SEES
END OF TURKEY

The Armenian troops, 800, 900
strong, released from Russian SER
vice by the treaty at Brest- LdtovsS.
will never return to Turkey, but will
fight to death for emancipation Of
Turkish Armenia, as is indicated by
their recent capture at Erzerum, ac-
cordtng to Rev. V. II. Yessayan, an
Armenian by birth, speaker in the
mems nSlss meeting in the Fargo Y.
M. c. A. auditorium. Sunday after
noon.
These soldiers know that to re-
turn to Turkey means slavery or
death" said Rev Mr.. Yessayan,
''They will fight to the last man."
Rev. Mr.. Yessayan characterized
the slaughter of 1000, 900 Armenians
as the most murderous page in
history" and declared that the kill
ing was inspired by Germany.
THE Armenian lands are highly
fertile, and Germany wanted them
for her own people" he said. "The
Turks were the tools to that end"
Rev. Mr.. Yessayan said that the
Armenians were intensely indepen-
dent, and had occasioned the Turk
ish government some trouble from
the Turkish viewpoint by their ideas
of independence, but before Ger
many's Intervention Turkey had
been content to kill off only those
directly concerned in uprisings
against Turkish rule.
Rev. Mr. Yessayan expressed the
opinion that Turkey would cease as
a nation within a year.

HE FORGOT ONE REASON.


The report Of John II. Rich, federal
reserve agent, that sentiment hai
undergone a change, and that farm
ers in the northwest are planting q
bigger wheat acreage than last year
confirms reports which have come ia
The Forum.
There are two reasons, one OF
which Mr.. Rich mentions. He says
that farmers prefer to grow wheat
with a fixed price. to taking their
chances with other grains, which
might so higher and might so very
much lower. They are assured Of a
fair profit on wheat with an aver
age crop, despite the greatly increaa-
ed costs Of farming.
But there is another reason that
Mr.. Rich didn't mention, Hundreds
and thousands Of farmers through
the district didn't stop to figure COM
parative profits. The government
wants wheat, 80 We'll grow IT., was
their attitude. The Forum knows
that from personal knowledge Of
scores OF cases in this part Of North
Dakota. The farmer who has a son
in France, or whose neighbor's son
is over there lighting, 10 not counting
the pennies or the dollars these days.
Maybe it is more profitable to grow
wheat: maybe It will turn out less
but he Is growing wheat.
Thank Heaven for citizens like that.

war attempted to found a Socialist
colony IN Paraguay, to be called New
Australia.
The scheme worked out we'll en-

complaint over the division of the
work that the colony failed. Every

more unpleasant work was shirked

new CALL May
GET MEN UP TO
NUMBER 1,72O

Class one registrants Of Cass coun-
ty whose order numbers run from L.
800 to 100 or 1920 may be called to
service under the current call Of the
war department for 1887 men from
North Dakota. to report on April 20
as the first North Dakota contingent
Of the second draft.
No official advdces had reached the
office Of the clerk OF the local select
service board this morning. but he
based the foregoing figures on re-
port from Bismarck that the number
Of men Cass county would be asked
to supply would be rs. or 70 less than
the quota Of two weeks ago for
the county when the state sent to
Camp Dodge 1924 men. the last 40
per cent Of its quota.
Whether men actually and assidu-
ously engaged in the planting or the
cultivation Of crop would be given
deferred entrainment could not be
stated by w. r. Tucker. clerk this
said:
I'm the former call for $4,000 men,
Cass county sent 100. We had orders
under that call to exempt men who
were actually engaged in seeding and
planting and who made proper
affidavits to that effect It appears
to me that order related only to that
specific call and whether it will apply
to this current call or not / am not in
osition to say until / have been
more fully advised"
To date there has been no order to |
countermand the order OF the Presi- |
dent issued just before the movement
Of the last increment Of the first draft |
giving deferment to men engaged in |
farming. The states quota on the |
first draft was approximately $500 |
men out of SOC, 900 men called. The |
government plans to raise 500, 900 men /
on the second draft.
Figures made public by the Cass 1
county board today show that the /
cost Of boarding and rooming class /
one registrants who were called just /
a week ago and remained in the city Il
during the five-day period, was APP
$3.50. The men were call
ed to report on March %, the con-
tingent from Cass county being the
last to leave the state on April 2.

IMPROVEMENT TN
ALLIED POSITION
tBy AsaocIated Press.l

Washington, April S.-Improvs-
ment in the strategic position of the
allies on the Picardy battlefield is
noted in the war departments re-
view OF the military situation pub
lished today and announcement is
made that the allied forces under
General Foch are operating Efficient
~ in holding the German attacks.
The German plan has been upset
by the stubbornness of the allied
defense, the review says, and now
the Germans are being forced to
throw fresh troops into battle to
gain limited detectives For this
reason the situation for some time is
expected to be uncertain. The de-
partment makes no mention OF the
movement OF American troops to
the fighting front to join the British
and French.
"The opening OF the third week
OF fighting east OF Amiens," SAYS
the review, finds the position Of the
allies steadily improving.
"A very strong effort by the en-
envy to drive down the Somme to
Amiens during which he used about
twenty-five divisions on q front of
a few miles was stopped last week
with complete success only in one
place was the German line advanced
and then only 10 a depth OF less than
a mile on q narrow front
North OF Albert the Br'eish ad :
vance beat of repeated and vicious
attacks without bending.
Near Montdidier, the French
withdrew short distance to strong
positions. The enemy Is nowhere |
within nine miles OF Amiens: he is /
still three miles distant at his /
furthest point OF advance from the
main An.iens-P Paris railway, the CUT |
ting OF which would bring him no
real victory. The best proof OF his /
is the use that he is /
making Of minor incidents for win
dow dressing purposes"

CRIMINAL WASTE.

Saturday The Forum received
from the food administration al
Washington, a bulky envelopa 1s
inches by IL in size.
Inside was a thick paper mat used
for mailing photographs which was
about the size Of the envelope. There
also dropped out a little newspaper
matrix about 4 by inches, and this
was all that the envelope contained.
The matrix itself was not disable and
would have been of little value to the
food administration IL used. The
government wasted the big envelope,
the thick paper mat, the matrix, and
the cost Of mailing which would have
been at least II cents in itself, If it
had not been ranked.
The incident would not be worth
mentioning If it were not a fair
sample Of the criminal waste Of time
and material in government print
ing. Probably thousands OF envel-
opes similar to the one sent to The
Forum, were sent out by the food
administration and the cost OF these
alone must have run into hundreds
Of dollars. Every department OF the
government appears to have a SINH
lar press bureau, which sends out
equally voluminous matter.
Most Of this matter is for the pur-
pose of preaching conservation.
Think Of ST.
II is criminal waste Of money,
energy and material The entire pub
licity work Of the government needs
radical revision and coordination.
One tenth Of the expenditure would
bring greater returns. The volume
of matter now sent out merely be-
wiIders publishers and readers. It
should be boiled down to a mere frac-
ton of its present volume, put into
readable and striking form. and CO.
ordinated
The Forum believes that a commit
tee Of practical, active newspaper
men-not publishers, but news edi-
tors who actually handle the copy
should be called into consultation to
map out q general plan for govern-
ment publicity work, not for the pur-
pose OF giving the government less
publicity, but to give it more pub
Lefty at a greatly reduced cost.

America, and in Europe also. His
superiors did not appear to appreci-
ate his worth and technical
magazine, in reviewing his work,
pointed out that fact. Theodore
Roosevelt was then president of the
United States. He was astonished to
know that PershinE still was only a
captain.
Why" he said. Il can't be a col
pnel If he is not a general"
Officers who heard the remark
fancied II was only a passing whim
To get from captain to general ii is
necessary to jump several grades
Which, in the usual order, require
fifteen years or sofof service to pass
through. But. happily, the United
States is electric. Sept 20, 1906,
President Roosevelt. as commander
tn-chief Of the American army, sign
ed Pershing's commission as a gem
eral. Such a thing seemed natural
enough over there. Here it would
have been different.
And then what happened? Hardly
had he been named general when he
was sent to Japan as military at
tache. General Kuroki at once saw
his ability and kept the American
officer close to him.
4 have learned much from him."
said the Japanese veteran.
And the American said of Kurolxi.
de has taught me much of what I
know"
France. too. can learn a great deal
from this great soldier who, in affirm
ing his absolute faith in allied vic
tory likes to repeat these words
Germany can be beaten and ought
