SAMMY" HACKERS
DEMANDS RIGHTS
 FOR ARMENIANS

London, October 20.-The British gov ernment is determined that the wrongs suffered by the Armenians at the hands of the Turks shall be righted and their recurrence made impossible, writes Lord Robert Cecil, the parliamentary under secretary. of state for foreign affairs, to Viscount Bryce.
 Four points mentioned by Lord Cecil as the charter of the Armenians' right to liberation at the hands of the allies are:
 '"The refusal of the Armenians as a nation in the fall of 1914 to work for the cause of Turkey and her allies although offers of autonomy were made if they actively assisted Turkey in the war
 Partly on account of this courageous refusal. the Ottoman Armenians were systematically murdered by the Turkish government in 1915 two- thirds of the population being exterminated, by most cold-blooded and fiendish methods-70O, : 900 men, women and children being killed.
 From the beginning of the war that half of the Armenian nation under Rus sian sovereignty organized volunteer corps and bore the brunt of some of the heaviest fighting in Caucasia under their leader, Andranik.
 These same Armenian corps after the Russian breakdown took over the Cau- casian front and for five months held up the Turkish advance and thus rendered important service to the British in Meso- potamia."

RUSSIAN PEASANTS GLAD TO BE FREE OF
 BOLSHEVIST RULE

With the American Forces in North ern Russia, September 1S.-(Corre- spondence of the Associated Press) Russian peasants in this district ara glad to be freed from bolshevik rule.
 srrhe bolsheviks promised us that we would have land and peace and Associated Press correspondent" but we soon learned what was their real theory. It was just this:
 "Tonight I go over and steal your COW and tomorrow night you come back and cut my throat and steal it back"
 The peasants here are now settling down to what they hope will be order and tranquility after long reign of bolshevik terror
 All along the roads here one finds, in the evenings, peasants walking back to their houses with little bags oe food, given them by the allies. Now and then they are given can of jam, luxury even for the rich in Russia now.
 In one village, which the allies had not yet had time to reach with their food supplies. the correspondent found one peasant family eating swan. which tkey described as exceedingly tough.
 "Tt was a sacred bird with us be- fore" one of the peasants apologized. but we have no meat and the bol- sheviks killed the fish in our lake With bombs from their airplanes."
 The peasants are working willingly under the kind treatment of British and American Russian-speaking sol diers. They were very glad to build an aviation field, cutting down many acres of thick timber, because they were told the field would be theirs for cultivation after the campaign.

WHAT DOES SOLDIER THIN K ABOUT AS
 HE ENTERS BATTLE?

With the American Armies in the the Associated Press.l-When an American soldier goes lover the top or when he receives a bullet or shrap- mel wound he thinks of his mother. The French poilu thinks of his wife. and the British Tommy of his sweet heart.
 This fact is borne out by the offi- cers and doctors who have served in all three of the allied armies. They declare that when the American sol dier is wounded the first word on his lips in almost every case is Mother Even after he is removed to the hos pital he calls constantly for his mother. His British cousin, however, seems chiefly absorbed in his sweet heart. and longs to see her just once again." while his French compatriot thinks only of his femme bien aimee.'
 The correspondent of the Associated Press at the American front asked number of soldiers what thought was most on their minds wien they hrst left their trenches to attack the Ger mans. In nine cases out of 10 the answer was, ''Of home and mother"
 There were a few, however. who said that as they entered the battle their minds were given over wholly to prayer, although they had never be- fore been in the habit of praying. Some of them kept before them words of encouragement and counsel con- tained in letters from relatives
 One soldier on the morning of the attack received letter from his mother quoting the Scriptnral phrase Trust in the Lord and no enemy shall prosper against thee. The So dier went through one of the bloodiest battles of the war that day and came out unscathed.

Few Realize How Great Is the Influence of Mrs.
 Wilson in World Affairs
Rx HUGH ". ROBERTS


 Washington, November H.-(SpeciaD Margaret of Anjou, in respect to her hus- band, the king, was termed the bet ter man of the two." Mrs. Woodrow Will son will, of course, never be so termed, but, in after years, it may be admitted by the President that during the trying years of his administration she was his mainstay and his principal adviser. And this prediction takes into consider ation the redoubtable and astute Colo mel House.
 The general impression which will later be established fact, that Mrs. Will son will accompany the President on his trip to Paris, reminds that when ever on extended visits out of Washing ton the chief executive has been accom- panied by Mrs Wilson. It is said to be true that whenever confronted with the necessity of taking some action or vital importance the President. after conferring with Colonel House, members of his cabinet and members of Con-

fore it is presumed that in due time Secretary McAdoo may make another credit to Great Britain, not because Great Britain needs the money herself, for she is now abundantly able to finance her own necessities but because she will need assistance in financing some of the ob- legations of those of our allies who turn to her for aid
 It may be two or three years before the great ledger in the treasury depart ment which contains the record of our loans and also the record of our obliga- tons to England France and Italy will De closed, after the balance has been struck, and the European governments which have borrowed here take up the notes with national bonds. These bonds Will. be looked upon as investment by the United States in the national and unimpeachable securities issued by Eng land, France and Italy They will rep resent by many hundred millions, even by billions, a greater aggregate of ob- legations than any in which the United States or any other country has ever heretofore made investment. They will yield yearly interest which may amount to as much as $500,000,000 and this in terest, there is no doubt, will be prompt ly paid. The bonds themselves may have a long term. although that is something to be determined when final settlement is made.
 Out of the taxes amounting to billions and the loans amounting to other bil- lions, which the war has made it neces- sary for this government to impose and to issue, are to be furnished the funds with which these European obligations will be met at first. Ultimately the American people may absorb these na- tional bonds, which will be issued by England, France and Italy, although the best opinion at present seems to be that it will be regarded as the better part for the government itself to maintain it's investment in these bonds until the time comes when they are paid. How they can be paid is of the important questions of the future And it may be many years before that question is an- swered.

gress, has always gone finally into con- sultation with his wife. It is also said to be true that the President, on more than one occasion, has been guided in international policy by the discernment and calm conclusions of Mrs. Wilson
 In all world affairs and matters of state, Mrs. Wilson takes the keenest interest, and other than the President and his closest advisers, there is possibly no better posted person in the world. Mrs wilson has always attended the joint sessions of Congress when the President addressed such sessions and prior to the beginning and at the con- clusion of each address, the pair has invariably exchanged glances of under standing and sympathy.
 It is indicated that the presidential party to Paris will be replete with women. In addition to Mrs. Wilson, the understanding is that Mrs. Lansing wilt accompany the Secretary of State, and Mrs Baker, the Secretary of War Other ladies may go along.

MUST SAVE "a BILLION
People Must Be More Economical
to Pay War Costs.
Saving Next Year Must Be $1,000.
100000 Greater Than This Year,
.'. Says the War Board.

Washington, Sept 17.-Renewing its
plea for wiser utilization of resources,
the federal reserve board has called
up the nation to consume $4,000. 000..
900 less than it produces next year
and thus pay the years war cost. .
This means that America must
save $6,OOO,OO0,OOO more in the next
~ months than 1t did In the last year.
Only Two Alternatives.
"Only two alternatives present
themselves through which the nation
will be able to make ends meet" the
board pointed out. Either there must
be more intense production or de-
cidedly increased economy in con.
sumption.
while speed up has been the gov.
eminent watchword, the warning will
be issued that the nation must look to
more economy for any increase in the
available financial resources"

when less capital is available for new
investment the need is most pressing
for concentration of effort on the part
of the solidly founded Industries, the
board says.
Progress has been made in the cur.
tailment of nonessential credit, the
board reports. There are, however,
certain elements which have refused
to subordinate their private interests
to those of the nation. These must
be whipped into line il that part of
the nations resources is to become en-.
