simple average Of these percent
ages OF increase in cotton goods
prices is 1891 per cent and had the
price OF raw cotton increased proper
tionately it would now be selling for
37.O8 cents pound. But it will be
noted that the kinds Of cotton goods
that increased most in price are the
very kinds that are manufactured in
the largest quantities and thas take
most OF the raw cotton. For in
stance. cotton flannels, ginghams,
print cloths. shectings and women's
dress goods undoubtedly take the
most OF the raw cotton consumed
probably as much as three fourths.
We find that these five classes OF
cotton goods increased during the 4
years an average of245.4 per cent.
On this basis. had the price OF raw
cotton risen proportionately, it
would now be selling for 42S2 cents

THE Likes Of They"

One more plucky old ship gone down
Ten men shot in an open boat
Six more widows about the town
One more little account to note.
And if she'd gone down TO a decent
crew.
It's little there'd be to pay;
But. God. I'll do what a man can do
To punish the likes of they.
l used to think that the sailorman.
Whatever his alien breed might be.
Was somehow built on Il healthy plan
And much of piece with you and
me;
But men who laugh when a good man
browns
Are made of different clay,
And I'd sail with the scum of the
worlds worst towns,
But not with the likes of they.
Easy. maybe. will the world forget
The dirtiest work that these have
done.
The kings may pardon the priests
may pet.
The carrion thing they now call Hun,
But a man who's clung to a drifting
oar.
And watched for a sail all day.
He won't forget when there amt no
war
To HE'LL with the likes OF they.

THE TORTURE OF ARMENIA.
where Cruelty of Germans and
Turks Reached Their Climax.

In the artricious conduct of Ger
mans and Turks. the climax was
reached in the treatment of the Ar
menlans, Samuel II. Dutton writes
in the American Review of Reviews.
The merciless and cruel Abdul Ham
ID ruled for forty years by duplicity.
IL was easy for him to promise, but
his word counted for little. When he
became Sultan he accepted a newly
written Constitution. In few hours he
became an autocrat without princi-
pie and without honor So great was
his hatred of that upright states
man. Midhat Pasha, who wrote the
Constitution that he imposed unus-
ual tasks upon him and finally had
him murdered. He permitted his SOL
diers TO prey upon the Armenians
during his whole reign even to the
point of dishonoring women in their
homes and questions of dispute be-
tween Turks and Christians were
usually settled not by negotiations or
Legislation. but by massacre.
The young Turks in the spring of
1915 began under German instiga-
ton. systematic deportation and
tortN of the Armenians which is
ack4 bedged to surpass in its i'll
humanity and horror anything which
history records. The scheme as car
ried out in every city and village
included the arrest and robbery un-
der torture of the male members,
except the very old and very young
of the community followed by but
cherry. All others, women. children
ana 4he aged men, were Compeiled d
TO undergo long marches toward the
syrian desert. The description by
missionaries and American consuls
OF tho robbery. even TO the extent of
clothing, the stealing away of the
girls and young women by the gen
darmcs. kurds and criminals, the
wholesale slaughter of many and the
deprivation of food and water * al
most too sad and terrible to recount.
But the mental anguish and terror
caused to people of gentle breeding
and education must be considered for
1t should be remembered that the
Armenians are among the most ad-
vanced, prosperous and enlightened
of all the heS9habitants of the Empire.
