SALVATION ARMY IS
 DOING GREAT WORK
Canadian Veteran Tells How
 Soldiers Are Cared for

Boston, Mass. oct. 4.-Torn by shrapnel and bullets, covered with wounds and a victim of "gassing', Sergeant James Stanley of the famous "Prncess Pats" regiment of Canada, has just returned to America after four years and two days of participa- tion in every thing the deadly fight against the Huns has to offer. Dis charged because of disabilities, Ser geant Stanley intends to devote the remainder of the war to awakening the country and Canada to the tre- mendous work, being done by the Sal vation Army, and the other big war work organizations on the battle fields. He comes to America in the in- terest of the United war work cam paign for $170,5OO, 1000.
 Sergeant Stanley fairly brims over when he talks of the great work of the Salvatonists, Y. M c. A., Knights of Columbus and others arc doing on tho battle front. He says. T can't make d speech but l can tell a story and that is what I am going to do." And here is part of his story:
 When I went to France in August. 1914, with the Princess Pats, I found the British Salvationist workers right up in the front lines with rifles in their hands.
 Christmas Eve of 1914 I will never forget. for up into the firing line to us they came with boxes of things to eat and little presents to cheer us. But it was that way everywhere. You couldn't turn around but that one was waiting to serve you-serve in a quiet, unobtrusive way, always seek ing to help.
 "Only the men workers came up in to the firing lines on the British front, but they were right in the front line trenches. Back a little ways were the lassieS who met the men going up and the tired and sick and wounded, some coming back, and served with hot coffee and food and passed 8 cheering word. But it is different now, for the American lassies and other welfare workers are right up in the first line trenches with the men. The Salvationists take pay for food and drink when the boys have it, but when a boy doesn't have enough money he gets just as much as the boy who has. He can pay back when he gets his pay, if he is inclined, but he never wants.
 Danger means nothing to the workers with the boys. They have been killed, and wounded, shot and gassed. They are prepared to meet death and the savage Hun has no terrorS for them. They work like trained soldiers, cool and collected at all times, and they have saved hun dreds of boys lives. They have huts and ambulances. They constantly are studying the situation to see how they can improve their 1abors and they do it without fanfare. They have cer- tainly won the hearts Of every soldier in France. l have never heard them criticized and ii means the hospital for anyone here to say anything de- rogatory to returned soldier about them. If America only knew the real story of what these self-sacrifcing people do over there their forces in France would be fOur-fOld what they are now through the demand from the loyal United States.

seekig reelection to Senate. Among them are Senators smith of Michigan, republican, Hollis of New Hampshire, democrat; and Representatives Mo COrhlick and Toss of Illinois, repub- iCans; Howard of Georgia, democrat: Lhurcl of California, dem ocrat and faleb Powers of Kentucky, republi- can.
 On the other hand most of the rep resentatiVeS from the southern demo- cratic states have been assured of re- election to the Sixty-sixth Congress by virtue of their primary nomination.
 In this election for the first time, women are seeking seats in the Sen ate. Representative Jeannette Ran kin of Montana is seeking election from her state while Anne Martin of the Woman's Party is a senatorial candidate in Nevada. New York also has woman candidate for Congress.
 Socialist, prohibition and other par ties also have had their candidates in the present campaign. Coalition of democratic and republican forces against the socialists has occurred in some localities, but the campaign now is being conducted largely between the two leading parties in an effort to se- cure unquestioned control of the Sen ate and House without intervention of any balance of power from the minor organization.

ASSYRIANS FEELING
 IRON FIST OF WAR
Those in United States Send Re-
 lief to Brothers Abroad

One of the most deplorabIe stories of the war comes to us from north western Persia, that portion which is the homeland of the Assyrian people. A band of no less than 45.000 refugees driven out of the city of Uramia by the Turks and Kurds are making their way across the plateau of Iran, to- ward Hamadan, where they hope to find safety within the British lines. Perhaps a third of this number are fighting men. The rest are women, children and old men. When the Turks made their first attack upon them in Ukramia a month ago. they slaughtered about 15,000. Now they are pursuing the others with incre- dible fury, killing all that they can lay their hands on, burning villages, destroying crops, and devastating the country.
 But the Turk is not the only enemy with which these refugees have to contend. There is the unhealthy eli mate the risks of sleeping out of doors through the damp nights, lack of food and clothing, and the foul drinking water. Recently an epidemic of cholera swept through the little army and wiped out a great number. One of those who died was an Ameri- can, Dr William A. Shedd. president of the American college in Uramia.
 Previous Turkish Massacres.
 This forced flight IS not the first outrage perpetrated by the Turks in Assyria since the beginning of the war Early in 1915, they began a series of systematic massacres. About 2OO00 were put to the knife within a few days, and 0000 were thrown into prison, from which they were later released by Russian troops. There was a second reign of terror in 1917, and a third during the month of March, 1918 when the atta cking Ottomans were led by German officers. It was during the March atrocities that Mar Shimon, patriarch of the Nestorians was slain by Turkish sol dierS
 The purpose behind this campaign Of blood is characteristic of the Turk. The Turks have long detested the Assyrians because the are Christians and because, from the start of this war, they have been very pro-Ally. The Persians, who are Mohammedans, have been spared. They are sup posedly neutral, and Ahmed Shah, their ruler, has constantly advised them to remain so. Q But it is known that German influences have been , busy among them.
 Persia has managed to remain a self-governing state for centuries in l spite of the longing looks cast in her

Your appeal has 1 been sent to our Chapters through
 our divisional organization, and our workers, we feel sure. will be glad to 1 know that they can again be of serv- 1 ice in this way"

An Assyrian National Association.

Their principal society is the Assy- rian National Association, of which Dr. Joel Werda is president. This organization has branches in every Assyrian colony. It was Dr. Werda who represented his people at the ln- ternatonal Fourth of July Celebration this year at Mt. Vernon. He js also editor of a Persian newspaper, the only one in this country. This peri odical not only circulates among most of the Persians and Assyrian people in America, but goes back to Persia, and is taken by many people there.
 The Assyrians in America have shown their patriotism by purchasing Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. and by free contributions to the Red Cross war funds. They are good and loyal citizens, and the 2,O00 who are in our army are learning to be effective fighters.

Assyrians Immigratc to America.

There are now thousands of Assy rian people in the United States and Canada. They did not come here as political refugees, but because they look upon America as a great center of education and commerce. The American missionaries carried this news to Assyria more than 85 years ago, and a great interest in the United states has spread from the college at Uramia, founded about 20 years ago, of which the late Dr. Shedd was president.
 The Assyrian- n-American colonies are in Chicago, Philadelphia, Yonkers, New Britain, Conn, Worcester, Mass, Hartford, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Some of the men are painters and decorators. very large number are in the Persian rug indus try. Others are contractors and machinists. During the last months, many have gone into munitions fac tories.
