MT. Runciman in the aouse of com mons recently expressed the opinion that We would get much nearer peace II, instead of this, responsible repre- sentatives of the belligerent powers would come together in an intimate meeting for discussion. I can only agree with him that that would be the way to remove numerous intentional ana untintentional misunderstandings and compel our enemies to take onr words as they are meant, and on their part also to show their colors. I can- not at any rate discover that the words winch 1 spoke here on two occasions were received in hostile countries ab actively and without prejudice.

THIRTY MILLIONS FOR THE
RELIEF OF REFUGEES IN
WESTERN ASIA.

w LID 1 LINN k201k1.
The reports of increased need,
death by starvation, suffering from
famine and pestilence has led to
new survey of conditions in the
Western War Zone. The American
Committee for Armenian and Syrian
Relief have been attempting since
October, 1915, to provide the means
of livelihood for the subject races
of the Ottoman Empire, the refugees
of the Russian Caucasus, Mesopo-
tamia, Persia and Palestine.
The present situation has been
summarized by committee of
which: James L. Barton, Ambas-
sador Ellzus, Henry Morgenthau,
Charles E. Hughes, William How
ard Taft, Cleveland H. Dodge,
Samuel T. Dutton, w. w. Peet, and
many other prominent men are
members, from the reports of re-
turned missionaries, physicians,
teachers, business men, and the files
of the Department of State. After
careful consideration of the report,
the American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief, to be in
corporated as the American Com
mittee for Relief in the Near East
is making preparations for an or
gained nation wide campaign Jan.
12-19th for $3O,0O0OOO.OO to meet
the immediate needs for relief in
Western Asia.
Report:
In representing this estimate we
include only these refugees who are
reported to be Immediately access
sible, multitudes of them perishing
daily and all of whom might be
saved were resources adequate. In
making this estimate we have fixed
the smallest sum that can be con-
sidered as Approximately sufficient
to keep the breath of life in the
bodies of these homeless, helpless,
starving masses, who are dependent
upon the American Committee for
Relief in the Near East to save from
inevitable death. We place this
amount at five dollars a month,
seventeen cents a day for each per-
son.
Assuming this basis for work
ing estimate of present immediate
need, we record the number of &C

CONCRETE SHIPS
DEFY EFFORT Of
HUN ENGINEERS
Unable to Remove DISTINCTIONS,
Germans Are Now Making
New Channel for Subs.

LONDON, May 24-Having failed
in their efforts to blow up the con-
crete laden ships which were sunk
at the entrances to the harbors at
Bruges and Zeebrugge, the Germans
are now cutting away portion of
the piers and making a new channel
for their submarines and vessels of
even larger size.
Photographs taken recently by
British aviators show that the chan
nels were more effectually blocked
than was at first supposed. And
the steps now being taken by the
Germans to provide a new passage
prove that considerable difficulty
has been experienced in getting in
and out of the harbors since British
raiders launched their attacks.
The operation of the German en-
gineers are being continually ham,
pered by Allied airmen, who drop
bombs at frequent intervals on the
men engaged in making the new
channels.

ern front I'VE are or the eve of
a great German attack" he said.
Those who know best what the
prospects are, feel most confident
about the result"
Referring to the accomplishments
of the Allies in the way of ship
building, the premier stated that in
April the output of shipping ex-
ceeded, for the first time, the losses
sustained as the result of sub
marine attacks. He also said that
the submarines of the enemy were
being destroyed faster now than the
Germans can build them.
Continuing, the premier declared
that during the next few weeks, it
would be race between Hindenburg
and Wilson, The Germans, he said,
are straining every effort to reach
the goal first, on the eve of Ameri-

Allies. 81 can honestly say" he
added, "that the government has
neglected no possible means for
finding whether there is any honor
able outlet of war;
In conclusion, he said that after
all her exertion, America, at the
present time did not have what was
equivilant to one-fifth the fighting
strength which the Teutons have
received from the collapse of Russia.

equip armies and that American
help could not be reckoned on for

SHOT FOR MUTINY

WASHINGTON. D. c., May 24.--
That the kaiser's soldiers in the

to engaging in the sanguinarv fight

fronts are justly notorious, is evil
denced by the refusal very recently
of an entire German division to
leave their quarters at Dvinsk,
Russia. The men had been ordered
from the Eastern to Western front
and trains were sent to carry them
across the country. They flatly re-
fused to embark, however, and it
was not until more than a thousand
of them had been placed under ar
rest that the others submitted. Fifty

There are at present one million
nine hundred thousand Russian pris-
oners in Germany and a million two
hundred thousand in Austria. Ex-
IRENE hard labor, lack of proper
nourishment and unsanitary prison
conditions are responsible for the
pitiful state in which most of the
sufferers find themselves.
Of the prisoners just released, a
very great many of them will be
for long time, burden upon the
districts to which they have been
returned and a large proportion of
them will never recover their health
sufficiently to care for themselves.
