Greatest Pine Of Age
Unknown, Has Fallen

The great White Pine, at Spring
Grove. r. l., one of the chief attrac-
tions at the summer resort, has fall
en- with a mighty clash-victim to a
southwest gale-destroying surround
ing timber and startling wild life in
the vicinity. So far as l know, writes
Jesse B. Mowry, in the American For
estry Magazine, it was the largest
white pine on earth, and was owned
by Andrew J. Steere, of Chepachet,
whose father, one hundred years
ago, was offered 800 for the tree to
make a big mill shaft.
In response to inquiries, which
from time to time come from far and
near relative to the white pine stand
ing near Spring Grove" says letter
in the Pascoag Herald, ''its measure
was taken with forest instruments on
this date. Diameter, breast high, As
inches; circumference, breast high,
II feet; total height, Ill feet; mer-
chantable log length, IS feet; con-
tents of the trunk, 500 cubic feet,
equal to 5000 board feet, more or
less. For trees of it's class. it has a
quick taper Its age no man can

RECENTLY MARRIED
MEN IN CLASS |
Cannot Claim Exemption Unless
Child Has Been Born TO Couple
Crowder End; Problem.

Washington. June ia final de-
termination of draft classifcations
on the basis of dependency was made
possible today by Provost Marshal
problems involved in the clas3ifica-
ton of those recently married.
The first of these is that selective
service men married since the en-
actment of the Selectiye Service act,
May IS, 1917, cannot claim exemp--
ton unless a child of the marriage
has been born.
The second ruling deals with reg
istrants who attained the age of 21
since June 5, 1917, but who married
subsequent to the enactment of the
act, May Is, 1917. These men are
placed in Glass l, except in the event
that children have been born as Il
result of marriage before June g.,
1918.
General CroWder today expressed
the opinion that these rulings will
clearly settle the policy of the War
Department on the question of re-
cent marriages. Many boards have
taken the stand that men who have
married since May Is, 1917, did so
with the fullest knowledge OF the
consequences, and placed these men
in Glass l. Other boards, however,
placed these men back as far as
Glass 1, on the same basis with men
who already had large families.

DR.. COAN SPEAKS ON
ARMENIA And SYRIA
Returned Missionary Tells Of The
Natives Treatment by The Turks,
Their Prosecutions And Their Abb
soiute Refusal to Give Up Their
Faith.

DR.. Frederick G. Coan, who was in
Armenia at the time of the fearful
prosecutions, tortures and massacres
by the Turks, spoke at the Chautau-
qua last night on The Tragedy OF
Armenia and Syria" There was a
large audience present to greet the
speaker, the tent having teen COM
pletely filed.
During the sermon DR.. Coan relat-
ed many stories of the faith display
ed by the natives. He told of lit
tie girl, six years OF age, half starry
ed and without a home. who was
found by the Turks, who promised to
feed and care for her. She abso-
lutely refused their support if she
had to become Mohamnedian.
As small as she was, she had learn
ed to hate the Turks, because she
had seen her father and mother and
other relatives prosecuted, and after
having seen them suffer for Chris
tianity. she was determined not to
forsake their faith. Then the Turks
threatened to kill her. and after hav
ing been told that she positively
would not become MOhammedian,
they cast her into a pack of feroci-
Gus dogs. In the morning the
blood-thfrsty Turks returned to the
den, EXPECTING TO find the bones of
the little martyr. but 10 their sur
prise the child was asleep, her head
resting On the back of ore of the
dogs. One arm was lacerated, w here
she had been attacked, but otherwise
she was unharmed. Later she was
turned over to Christian family.
DR.. Coan tod of one occasion,
when twenty thousand Armenians
appealed to him and five other mis-
sionariesi to save them from the
Turks. This small band was COM
pletely at a loss to know what to do
with such a crowd, and as the Turks
were descending upon them, they
hoisted the American flag over the
place where the helpless Armenians
were seeking aid, and praying for de-
liverance. from their oppressors.
Then the leader of the Turks ap--
preached the mission and asked what
flag was flying above the place. He
was told that it was the flag of the
United States, anc not one member
of his party dare touch anyone in
the crowd. For five months the in
vaders were kept at bay, and during
that timt the six missionaries cared
for this mob OF people.
