London, Nov 6.-The British gov
ernment is determined that the wrong
suffered by the Armenians at the
hands of the Turks shall be righted
and their recurrence made impossible
writes Lord Robert Cecil, the parla-
mentary under secretary of state for
foreign affairs TO Viscount Bryce.
Four points mentioned by Lord
Cecil as the charter of the Armenians'
right Of 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 II they actively assisted Turkey
in the war.
"Partly on account of this courage
GUS refusal, the Ottoman Armenians
were Systematically murdered by tho
Turkish government in 1915, two
thirds of the population being exterm-
mated by most coldblooded and
fiendish methods-700, 900 men wom-
en- and children being killed.
From the beginning of the war that
half of the Armenian nation under
Russian sovereignty organized volun-
teer 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
Caucasian front and for five months
held up the Turkish advance and thus
rendered important service to the Britt
ish in Mesopotamia." e
Lord Robert Cecil adds that Armen-
ians are still fighting in Syria and have
been taking part in the Palestine carn-
paisn.

Washington, Nov 6.--Despite peace
prospects, prices generally through
out the United States are showing a
tendency toward a further upward
movement according to the federal
reserve boards monthly review today
of business conditions as reported by
agents In each federal reserve district.
Increases are particularly noticeable
in commodity lines not affected by the
governments price fixing program.
Many manufacturers and other pro-
ducers are following a conservative
course by keeping only small stocks on
hand. in preparation for new business
conditions after the war.
Rising prices and credit initiation
the board says, must be opposed by
strictly personal economy. Despite
war economy propaganda. 1t appears
says the board, that many classes OF
the population are still spending theiI
current incomes as freely as ever, not
withstanding the fact that prices today
are at a record figure because they
have not yet embraced the national
duty to save as a personal obligation.h

At least two more great Liberty

London, ..ov. (British Wireless

preaching the breaking point. After
she raised her eighth war loan her

proached 6,000,O00,000 pounds ster-
ling. 1t is assumed that since then it
has reached 7,000,000,000 pounds. on
June 23 last the reichstag adopted a
vote of credit of $1,000 100000 marks,
which it was then declared would
raise Germany's war debt to 139,-
900, 100000 marks or nearly 7,000,-
000,0 pounds.
Assuming that the debt stands now
at 142,00O,0 100000 marks, Germany,
has mortgaged, therefore, more than
two fifths of her national wealth, es-
timated at 16, 900, 100000 pounds.
That this figure is approaching Ger
many's limitation in the war is indi-
Gated by remarks made from time to

Meantime in France and Flanders
the enemy forces are being given no

material gains and reclaimed numer-

more of Germans have been taken
prisoner on all the sectors under at

ALL BROTHER HAD NOTICED
Father Need Not Have Worried Over
Possible Bad Effect of Movies
on Little Son.

After all, it's hard to figure out cor
rectly the effect of the movies on the
child mind. 1t happened that mother
and sister had gone to a concert and it
was up to father to entertain little
brother, age seven. Father likes the
movies-some Of them-so he thought
that would serve the purpose. Of
course you can not tell much about a
film by the name or by the pictures
out in front either for that matter.
But father likes pictures Of western
life and he thought the horses and
mountains might please brother. So
when he saw the poster of cowboy,
in they went.
1t wasn't very good sort Of picture
as to theme, for it presented ruth
less outlaw and his gang of robbers.
When wagon train of gold seekers
came across the desert he not only re-
fused to give them water, but drove
them off to perish of thirst on the
desert. And there also was a dance
hall scene in the West. Father had
some misgivings as to his choice of
movie and wondered whether, at it's
close, his son would elect to be the
bold, bad bandit or the vice-enmeshed
owner of the dance hall and gambling
hell. He said nothing but anxiously
awaited the verdict.
When "The End" came, brother
whispered:
Daddy, do you know who the cow
boy looks like?'
'NO brother. WhO?'
"Our milkman" WAS the reply.
