URUMIAH REFUGEES SAFE.
1000, Fleeing From Turk, Arrive
Inside British Lines.

London, Oct. 11.-Mesopotamian
dispatches received here record the
arrival inside the British lines of
$4,000 Assyrian, Armenian, and Rus
sian refugees from Urumiah, Persian
Armenia, who broke through the
Turkish front and made their escape.
Another 10000 refugees, according
to the dispatches, are distributed in
KurdiStan towns or are wandering in
the hills. The Turks pursued them,
cavalry.
Later the Turks entered Urumiah
and massacred 200 persons, mostly old
men. 1t is reported that 800 Chris
tan women have been distributed
among the Turkish troops and the
Moslem inhabitants of Urumiah.

enemy stands today, with a great gap
torn in the center of the lines that
were already struggling to eXtricate
themselves and get back to a shorter
front, there is even the possibility of
a crushing and immediate military
victory for the Allies.
Should the French to the south or
the British to the north also sue
coed in breaking through before the
Germans can complete an extensive
retirement, the capture or destruc-
ton of a whole enemy army group
might be realized. In the opinion
of observers here the situation to-
day has almost Iimitless possible
ties and Marshal Foch is virtually
certain to concentrate every ounce
of power at his command in an eff
fort to execute a final coup.
For this reason, it does not ap-
pear that the Rhine drive plans, if
there are such plans, will develop
until the situation clears in the
north. Should the German armies
escape the triple trap between Yer
dun and the North Sea, however, and
establish a line on the Meuse front,
many officers are confident that the
center of attack will swing suddenly
to drive into Germany itself by
the shortest route the Rhine valley.
For the moment. attention is con-
centrated on the startling forward
rush of the Anglo-American forces
which have broken through the great
st. Quentin-Ca Cambria defensive zone.
To the south it is known that the
enemy is straining every effort to
hold up the French along the Suippe
river. All but one of the "a good
German divisions on this front, it has
been reported are now in the front
line. Should the French reach and
pass the Aisne, as they threaten to do,
the enemy forces in the Laon pocket
apparently would be in desperate
straits.
Still further east, to the Meuse and
beyond, French and American forces
are striking Hereby ahead, carrying
an even wider menace, and to the
north Of Lille, Belgian, French and
British troops have driven forward
another grim threat. To no. part
of the line, apparently. can the hard
pressed center turn for reinforcements
and relief on a scale that would more
than delay the advance at any point.

monious unit and word has just been
received in this country as to how the
four great forces for mercy in France,
Red Cross, Y. NJ. G.. A, knights of
Columbus and the Salvation Army,
are cooperating and working to-

A Salvation Army officer over there

officers of The Salvation Army find
ing themselves without a place in
which to hold a meeting were offered
q nearby Y. M. G. A hut. Here they
conducted a real, old-time Salvation
Army meeting for the benefit of all
the boys that could crowd into the

According to a cablegram received
by Commander EVangeIine Booth, of
the Salvation Army in America, Col
onel William Barker, who is in charge
of the Salvation Army War Work in
France was with the party of Ameri-
can officers who several days ago
located the grave of Lieutenant
Quentin Roosevelt, who was buried
by the Germans. On a card placed
upon the board vat the head of the
grave was written the line Buried by
the Germans"
The Americans smoothed over the
grave, and with the consent of the
officers present Colonel Barker Sc
cured a big wreath of flowers which
almost covered the plot. To this he
attached the card of Commander
Miss Booth as a token of the esteem
in which the Salvation Army holds
the dead soldier.
Recently Major Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr., brother of Quentin wrote a
wonderful tribute to the Salvation
Army and the work it was doing in
France. The letter was addressed to
Major Atkins of the Salvation Army
who had been with Major Rooseyelt's
division during its active participation
in actual trench warfare. and was
given to him just before the Saliva
ZIONIST sailed for this country.

fortitude and reconciliation. He was
eve romforted by Christian faith anC
the eager. cheerful administrations oil
his devoted wife, daughters and son,
dieing in the arms Of the latter with a
smile on his face.
The funeral took place Friday morn
ing with services at st. Mary's church,
the pastor, Rev. N. Weyer conducting
the impressive requiem high mass SER
vice, and because of the rich qualities
of merit embodied in his subject the
pastors remarks, though brief, caused
heads to droop with sorrow and tears
to flow. Attendance at the funeral
was SACcplioiihiiy idiRt' lHc SdtHolS
Knights. Foresters, Knights of Column
bus and the st. Joseph Society attended
in a body. Many were the floral trib-
uteg bearing silent evidence to the high
regard in which the deceased was held
Mr.. Graber was man of hustle and
energy. He engaged himself actively
as general stock buyer, travelling
widely in that capacity, his last trip,
made this year, being into the Dakotas
He owned and conducted with the in
valuable aid of his son Henry large
farm short distance south of this city.
But above all he loved his home and
family, and was devoted to his town,
the state and church He was very
charitable. 1t was a Joy to him TO

CRUM'S CREAMERY BOOMING.

The Lawrence (Kansas) Journal of
June Oath gives the following report of
the success of our former townsman
John F. Crum, and his many friends
here will read it with much satisfaction
we are sure:
"Of the many successful industries
of Lawrence, perhaps none today is
buster than the Kaw Valley creamery
which is running to capacity to keep
its customers supplied.
For the week ending June Is. its
sales of dairy products to its branch
plant at Junction City amounted to
81, 306 Sc, and the demand for Kaw
Valley butter and ice cream, both for
local use and for shipment, was never
greater. Some idea of the growth of
the business may be gained from n
comparison of the production now and
year ago. In May, 1917, the plant
produced 1879 pounds of butter. In
May, this year, the butter produced
was IL, 3l3 pounds, or nearly six times
as much.
1T is now expected that the ice
cream production for the month of June
will easily reach 800 gallons, 1900
gallons more than the best month of
1917 This demand is occasioned solely
by the excellence of the product and
by the courteous methods of the man
agement.
There has recently been installed
in this progressive plant a Cherry
Jensen batch machine for pasteurizing
and cooling the ice cream mix. This is
the latest improved method for hand
ling ice cream to hold down the bacteria
count, and its installation is Indicative
of the effort the company makes to
give its patrons the best
Last fall the Kaw Valley Creamery
became interested in the Jersey ice
cream plant at Junction City, and Mr..
j. F. Crum, president of the company,
has been in charge of work there since
the first of the year. 1t is one of the
busiest places in that town, working
force of twelve men night and day"

THE REASON.

Behind the hills to the westward
Sinks the last ray of the sun;
And the clouds grow purple and golden
And the work of the day is done,
But my thoughts fly over the ocean
Where that sun shines high in the skies
And my eyes grow misty and tender -
For there the homeland lies
! see the busy cities
And the crowds upon their streets;
| see the crowded harbors
With wondrous ships in fleets;
see the sunny southland,
Where the cotton blossom grows;
! see the level prairies,
Where the Mississippi flows;
] see the lofty mountains
And the NOW upon their tops
hear the western ocean
Surging against the rocks.
I'm back again in fancy
To the place where | was born,
Out on the western prairies,
In the land of wheat and corn.
| see my fathers homestead
And the place that | call home
The picture never leaves me
No matter where roam.
Mother stands at the doorway
Waiting TO welcome me,
Father, and brother, and sisters
All of the family
The baby blue.eyed youngster--
Who wouldn't be fond Of her?
0, picture of soldiers fancy
Hope of the wanderer
My home and my country forever,
My country from sea to sea;
Mountains and plain and prairie
Sweet land Of Liberty
Behind me the cannons are roaring,
Their fare lights the evening sky.
Yonder the battle is raging
Yonder the thousands lie
Dead for their country honor,
Dead for their homes so dear
/. too, have home and a country
That's why I'm over here.

COMFORTING TIDINCS

| the following cheering tidings from his
son Henry, Soldier of the sea, who
was listed as severely wounded on the
9TH Of June, when our gallant matines
met and successfully checked the Huns
at the river Marine in their desperate
endeavor to capture Paris. Note the
characteristic nerve of the marine in
every word of the brief communication,
scrubbed by the wounded hand.
Henry's letter is not only inexpressi-
bly, comforting to his anxious parents
and sisters, but every one in this com
munity is greatly pleased to learn that
the wourding was not more serious.
The letter -
In Hospital. Somewhere in France.
June IL, 1918.
My Dear Dad:
just line to let you know that am
o. X. | was in the big charge the
Marines made and am in the hospital
now slightly injured. / got shot in the
fingers of my right hand with machine
gun and had little nip taken out of
my leg with the same bullet. | am
feeling fine and my wounds are fine
was just shot through the fingers; no
bones broken. 1t is very hard to write
but as soon as get well will write a
long letter and tell you of the battle
and how got mine.
Your loving son,
HENRY G. SPRINGER.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Today is the 4th of July. the anniver-
sary of the Declaration of Indendence,
priceless inheritance handed down by
our noble and patriotic forefathers.
And today hundreds of thousands Of
Americas young men, equally noble
and patriotic, are on the shell torn and
blood stained battle fields of France, on
the seas, and elsewhere, fighting THAT s
the word with such energy, fearless
ness and sacrifice as to cause the whole
world to stand amazed all for the
maintenance of that independence and
the protection of our happy homes.
To pause and think of all this, and bow
with solemn reverence and hope is the
least we can do today. and no true
American will fail to do that.
What is exceedingly pleasing to know
is that France, England and Italy ar,
observing the day with feeling akir
to our own and in our honor.
