GIVE SENSIBLE GIFTS

Santa Claus can make al 1.-The pres
ents he wants TO this year, provided
they are practical and useful pres
ents. The Council for National De-
Tense has decreed that Christmas gifts
may be considered under the head of
essentials if they are sensible gifts
that is. gifts of practical and use
full nature.
1t remains, of course, for patriotic
gift makers to decide just what may
be included under sensible" offerings.
Obviously. a gold watch is sensible,
whatever its price, while diamond ear
rings can hardly be termed practical
or useful" unless their possessor
cherishes them for their marketable
quality
Among the practical gifts set of
furs will rank high in favor. Enough
velvet or satin for new frock will be
a Christmas Offering highly valued by
the recipient.

VAST AUTOMOBILE DRIVING

Two men we're badly injured. mar
rowIy escaping death, last Saturday
when they we're struck by heavy
truck which, from the testimony thus
far heard. appears 10 have been driven
recklessly.
The feature OF this accident is that
the men injured were engaged upon
their legitimate business, not exposing
themselves in the slightest to any ap-
parent danger: in fact, weTe not even
i'm the path taken by vehicles but were
upon that portion of the street given
entirely TO the use of pedestrians.
Aside from defective motor or
some very extraordinary cause, there
seems to be little excuse for driving
heavy motor truck upon sidewalk
and crashing into building when the
driver is sufficiently capable TO be the
holder of a state license.
Everything tends to point to excess
sive speed as the probable cause OF
Saturdays accident. Whether this
WIS lUuuCtu Wy udiAAb VI "H~N~- -
was the result of bad judgment be-
cause of alcoholic indulgence does not
particularly matter; the fact that the
speed laws were violated and human
life and property endangered is the
principal point of consideration II
such accidents are not to occur again.
There seems no lack of testimony TO
corroborate the statement that there
is a considerable amount of fast driv-
ing in the city. The conformation OF
the down town streets is such that any
speed other than very slow and care
full one, with the motor under full con-
troll, is extremely hazardous.
While Saturdays accident is an ex-
IRENE case Of speed violation 1t may
vet serve to impress upon autoists the
necessity for greater caution. A limit
ed police force offers no opportunity
to afford traffic police. In the absence
of these and of traffic guides at street
intersections, motor drivers will have
to be depended upon to exercise their
own Judgment and avoid such driving
as will make accidents possible.

TO THOSE WHO aSTAYEDv

Many OF the lads who entered the
Student Army Training Corps at the
various colleges last fall did so be-
cause il appeared TO be the quickest
way for them to get into the war, the
best way to enlist in their country's
service Many of them. too, while re-
ioicing in the Allied victory, have been
disappointed at heart because they
were not in it, They even call them
selves the Stacker Army Training
Corps" Which, of course, is as fool
ish as ii is natural.
Other men in the training camps
have found it hard to believe that they
have really done their share in the war
when destiny has kept them on this
side of the Atlantic. They are glad to
return to civilian life, but they look
with a little envy. and a sense of hav-
ing been out of it all, upon the men
who are arriving weekly from abroad
with service bars on their blouses.
General Leonard Wood has directed
letter to every man in his command
who is retiring from the army as the
rehabilitation process goes on. The
letter might equally well be addressed
TO every soldier or sailor in any COM
mand whose duty now takes him back
TO civilian life as it took him to army
or navy few months ago. Parents
and friends of these men who have not
been called overseas should read the
letter, too

The immediate dispatch of relief to
the starving exiles OF Turkey through
the prompt generosity of few rich
Americans should he an example to
the rest of us. To relieve the misery
of the four million victims of Turkish
tyranny we shuold give first and de-
bate the matter afterward.
However, people will respond more
willignly when they understand the
situation, which is this: During a
century past Turkey has perpetrated
al least seven great massacres OF her
Christian subjects. Three of these
have occurred within the past twenty
FIVE years, namely, the massacres of
Armenians at Sassoun and at Adana
and that most terrible massacre of all
when, three years ago, the whole Ar
menian population of Turkey was
either exterminated or driven into
exile In this last massacre the num-
Ter murdered is variously estimated
from 700,0 to 100000.
We are not so much concerned just
now with the numter of dead as with
Tic Vi lANtn6s AAScIs N00hNAAE7
Syrians with Armnians, are said 10
number 100000, including 100000
orphans. The Red GROSS has agreed
to provide for a million of the exiles
1t is for the other 100000 more or
less that we are callde upon to pro-
vide $30,000,0 900. In the drive sched-
uIed TO begin January u, we shall all
lie called upoon to contribute our
share of this sum. Let us respond
cheerfully to the appeals of Governor
Harrington and President Wilson.
Our whole duty will not have been
done until the causes of Turkish mas
sacres have been removed. Some of
us who have been contributing toward
the support of Armenian orphans
since the Sassoun massacre of 1894,
only to see such orphans grown to
manhood and slaughtered in 1888, be-
lieve that Turkey has earned for her
self not self-determination but self
determination.

The polygamous, fanatical Turk is
no more fit TO rule than was Philip ii
of Spain with his Spanish InQuisition.
The murders perpetrated in Holland
by that tyrant. like the Turkish mas
sacres, had their origin in religious
fanaticism. According to the teaching
of the Koran all the people of Turkey
other than Mohammedans are outlaws.
Their legal status is that of prisoners
of war. The Sultan of Turkey claims
to be the successor of Mohammed and
the Calf of the Mohammedan world.
The official prayer used throughout
Turkey includes these words:
20 Allah Destroy the infidels lar
menians and suchl and polytheists.
thine enemies, the enemies of the re-
Iigion. o Allah, Make their children
orphans, and defile their abodes.
Cause their feet to slip: give them and
their families, their households and
their women, their children and their
relations by marriage. their brothers
and their friends, their possessions
and their race, their wealth and their
lands, as booty to the Moslems, o Lord
of all creatures"
Gladstone, writing of the massacre
of Bulgarians in 1876. demanded that
the Turks should evacuate Bulgaria.
This thorough radiance" he said,
this most blessed deliverance is the
only reparation we can make to the
memory of those heaps on heaps of
dead; to the violated purity alike OF
matron, of maiden, and of child; to the
civilization which has been affronted
and shamed: to the laws of God, or if
you like, of Allah; to the moral sense
of mankind at large"
These words, uttered forty years
ago. are true of Armenia today. No
assistance rendered to the Armenians
can be effectual unless the Turk be
driven from Armenia.

WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY

But some man will say, how are the
dead raised up? and with what body
do they come?
But God giveth it body as it hath
pleased him and to every seed his own
body.
1t is sown a natural body; it is rails
ed spiritual body. There is natural
body, and there is spiritual body.
And so it is written, the first man
Adam was made living soul; the last
Adam was quickening spirit.
Howbeit that was not first which is
spiritual. but that which is natural;
and afterward that which is spiritual.

BETTER ROADS

In providing work for discharged
workers. road building offers solu-
ton of many problems. The United
States as whole is behind most for
eign countries in the matter of good
highways. Poor roads are a reason
for high prices of farm produce in
many cases. They are a reason why
more automobiles are not purchased
and used. They are a reason for heavy
upkeep cost of vehicles of all kinds.
They are a cause of many accidents.
They are a hindrance to Suburban and
country development: a cause OF low
prices of real estate in country sec
tions; a reason, in short, for slower
development of national industry and
production than should be expected of
"a country as progressive as ours
claims to be.
Colonel Robert II. Tyndall of the
l50th field artillery, u. S. army, writ
ing from France, says: There will be
a couple OF million real road wa:
boosters when the war is over" He
speaks in glowing terms of the ,splen-
did highways they found in France
comparing them much to the detriment
with the average highway found in the
United States.
In the same article containing Col
onel Tyndall's views, ii was stated
that there is undoubtedly a big road
plan developing in this country.
Chairman George C. Diehl of the A.
A. A. Good Roads board, says: $780,
100000 a year appropriated by the
federal government on a definite
tangible highway system will work
wonders in the form of from
5000 TO 10000 miles of splendid high
way, partly made up of sections al
ready sufficient in quality; partly in
sections to repair; partly of sections
rebuilt and partly of entirely new
construction. State and local appro-
priation should be encouraged and the
construction of federal roads should
enormously increase road expendi-
lures. The thousands of otherwise
unemployed labor can be used to the
most excellent advantage in this way"
The vast sums that would otherwise
have been spent in destruction can
beneficially be expended for highway
construction to the end that trade may
be increased between rural sections
and urban points. Hundreds of thous-
ands of returning soldiers and men
that have been employed in munition
manufacture can be employed profitab-
~ to themselves and to the communi-
ties of which they are part in this
highway work with the result that
tradesmen will enjoy increased trade,
laborers will. be contented, farmers
will have more accessible markets and
the community as whole will enjoy
increased prosperity.
