REMORSE STRIKES
ABDUL OF TURKEY
II Am More Ashamed Of the Armen-
ian Atrocities Than Anything I'm
Our History" Says Abdul

Constantinople, Nov. 27.-''This
last war was the most disastrous in
the history of Turkey. not because
she was beaten, but because 1t made
enemies Of nations naturally our
friends" declared Abdul Medid Ef-
fendi, heir to the Ottoman throne, to
the correspondent Of the Associated
Press. whom he received today.
"The present sultan and myself"
he. continued, denounced the pro-
posal that Turkey enter the war. Mo-
hamed v. who was then reigning,
showed weakness before a clique OF
adventures like Talaat Bey and En-
yer Bey, then cabinet ministers, and
now fugitives, whom Germany had
fed with dreams of power.
II am more ashamed of the Ar
menian atrocities committed during
the war than of anything in our his.
tory. but I must insist that they were
against the will Of the present sultan
and the nation as a whole. They
were instigated by unpatriotic minis
ters who we're guaranteed In theil
places by their services to German
miiitarism. The fanaticism of remote
tribes in their dislike for their neigh.
bors and the brutality Of provincial.
officers served as the mediums, while
the censored press here concealed the
facts from the general public.
The members Of the imperial fam
lily tried to make use OF their pres
tige against this, but were impris
oned in the palace.
"Of the future, can say we mus
have foreign assistance, as the coun
try is exhausted. We prefer to dea
with one nation, because the Difficult
ties Of international control have
been shown elsewhere, but we vel
come any control not menacing the
sovereignty of the caliph."

WOULD NOT DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST SOUTHERN OREGON

The following letter has been re-
celved by +. s. Bramwell, president
OF the local Chamber of Commerce,
from Governor Withycombe. in re-
gard to the building up OF Oregon,
and irrigation projects In general:
Have your letter and carefully
note same. There was no thought
whatever OF any discrimination in
my remarks against any section of
the state. Your country is more in
terested In irrigation and logged
of lands. hence would come under
the scheme OF general irrigation.
The reason why I emphasized the
Willamette valley is because OF the
large bodies OF open land ready for
immediate occupation that should be
In the hands OF the small farmers. I
assure you that am Just as earnest
ly interested in the development of
southern Oregon as any other sec
tion. and there is no place there
that would be more willing to help
than Josephine county, because I
know Of the difficult problems with
which you are confronted.
Trusting this explains matters.
and with best personal regards, I am
Very truly yours.

Fight Predicted Over spoils Taken
From Austrta--Briction and
Jealousy Shown

London. Nov. 27.-The carrying
out OF the provisions OF the Italian
Austrian armistlce on the eastern
and northeastern Adriatic has arous-
cd much friction and jealousy on the
part of the Jugo-slav popuiation,
who ascribe TO italy the intention OF
permanently occupying these regions
which are virtually identical with
those assigned to Italy by the allied
agreement OF 1915.
The Jugo-Slavs contend that the
occupation should have been by
mixed allied forces and not solely by
Italians.
The Italian occupation OF Fiume
has been followed by strong pro-
test to the entente powers from the
Croatian national council at Agram,

the occupation led TO regrettable in.

URGES SOLDIERS TO
keep UP INSURANCE

Washington. Nov. 27-As soldiers
are demobilized. effort will be made
to impress on them the desirability
OF their continuing payments on
their government voluntary life in
surance, which can be maintained
for five years after peace, even
though the soldier has returned to
civil life. This will be done ny in
surance agencies in the army. work
ing together with authorities of the
treasury's war risk insurance bureau.
Secretary McAdoo in a statement
has urged soldiers to retain their
insurance to protect their families
and to retain the right to convert
this into other forms to be provided
by the government. An additional
reason, 1t is said. is the treasury's
desire to make OF the soldiers and
sailors insurance demonstration
that government life insurance is
successful, and can be extended.
81 desire to remind all Americas e
soldiers and Sailors" said Mr.. Nc
Adoo's statement, that It Is their
opportunity and their privilege to
keep up their insurance with the
United States government after the
war has officially terminated and
even after they have returned to
civil life.
''In its present form, this insur-
ance Is annual. renewable term In
surance at net peace rates, issued
against death. and total or perma-
nent disability. Under the provisions
OF the war risk insurance act, every
person holding this insurance may
keep It up in this form even after
he leaves the service, for a period OF
five years. All that is necessary is
the regular payment OF premiums.
Moreover, the law provides that
not later than five years after the
termination of the war as declared
by presidential proclamation, the
term insurance shall be converted
without medical examination, into
such form or forms OF insurance as
may be prescribed by regulations and
as the insured may request. This
insurance will continue to be gov.
ernment insurance.
"The advantages of keeping this
insurance in force cannot be empha
sized too strongly. The right to con.
tinue 1t is a valuable right given b,
the government to our fighting mer
as compensation for their services
II this right is lost by allowing in
surance to lapse It can never be re-
gained. When government insur
ance Is allowed to lapse the holder
cannot again obtain insurance ex'
cept from private companies at 9
