money home than they spent on them
selves in buying canteen supplies dur

In the other hut. the amount of

whole. the difference in favor OF the

was the biggest of the five, sent to
America amost three times as much

is brave and capable.
Here are the figures in total: Mer-
chandise sales, 254.202 francs, remit

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-Not many fortunes
In American small change are being

he shrugged his shoulders, comment

The new type of Yankee enlisted
man isn't like that. He is a saving
young man and he sends a good share
of his earnings home to help out his
wife or any other partial dependents
that he may leave. In fact, he sends
back as much money as he spends on
himself, If figures from Y. M c. A fl

criterion. And they ought to be con-

the pay goes.

oppressed and suffering nations to

No true American should think that
the war is over until the just settle
ment of the peace terms takes place.
1t is high time to create an offensive
and effective public opinion in this
great Republic for the noble ideals of
democracy.
It is not enough to denounce the
authors of the butcheries committed
on the Armenians. Every attempt
made to eXterminate the remnants of
this historic race was dagger thrust
againt European and American civili-
zation, of which the Americans were
the true representatives in the heart of
Asia Minor This has to be said and
recapitulated from time to time. After
the defeat of the Persians at Mara
thon, one of the violets of the Persian
Monarch was in the habit, according
to tradition, to whisper in the ears Of
his august master the words, "Sir.
remember the Athenians." In a
favorable sense, I would like to re-
mind all my American, friends in this
city and in the great Republic, to re
member Armenia, when in JOY and
Thanksgiving we shall celebrate tomor
row the first Victory Sunday, after
long and wearisome years of war.
Armenia.
Armenia! The name is like a sword
In every Christian heart. O martyr
nation,
Eldest of all the daughters of the
Word
Exceeding all in bitter tribulation!
Armenia! The name is like a cry
Of agony that shrills around the
sphere.
Bread, bread before her last starved
children die.
And tell to Christ how cold our
hearts are here!
Ammonia! A figure on cross,
Pale, wasted, bleeding, with implor-
.. ing eyes!
Except we save her, darkness lies
across
All Christendom, shamed in her
sacrifice.
-KATETA RINE LEE BATES.
The above most genuinely expressed
verse, which was sent to me by a
friend in the city, I hope shall be a
true interpreter for the feelings of all
free and Christian people.

AMERICA DOESN'T WANT THEM

There should be no hesitancy about
arranging for the future OF men and
women of Teuton birth or descent who
have abused the friendship and priv
ileges of the United States during the
war. Sprinkled throughout the ma
camps in which are held those who
have expressed anti-American senti-
ments or who have been guilty of vio-
lating the espionage regulations. It
Is announced that within a few
months steamships may be plying
their way across the Atlantic, some
headed for German ports. The men
and women who so loved Germany
that they forgot what America meant
should be herded on board and in
structed never to return.
NO more suitable leader for this
motley gathering could be found
than Maximilian Won Hoegen, New
Haven lawyer, whose attitude during
the war has been enough to disgust
people OF German blood whose hearts
were bound up with the cause of
America. Won Hoegen Is now In the
custody Of the military authorities at
Camp Travis and is being held on a
charge of deserhon, it being alleged
he failed to report for physical exam
ination when called in the draft No
doubt Won Hoegen's intense love for
doubly welcome in Germany just at
this time.

HURTING THEIR OWN CASE

Information having been received
via Stockholm that the inha bitants Of
Poland and Rumanta are being in
cited to slaughter all Jews, the State
Department should take immediate
steps to prevent such horrors. The
hand toward Poland and Rumania
but those countries should be given
to understand that that friendship
will be withdrawn If conditions we
have been fighting are tolerated.
Poland is deeply indebted to Amer
lea and to the personal efforts of
President Wilson in her behalf With
out our moral support the Polish
question might not have been brought
to the front on humanitarian grounds
although it is proba BILE it might have
arisen during consideration of mill
tary bulwarks to be erected against
German militarism IN the future Ru-
mania also has had our sympathy and
owes her very existence to the inter-
vention of America in the war against
the Central Powers.
Both of these countries should be
informed in a friendly, but firm tone,
that democracy was our great object
! in the war and continues to be our
great object Democracy means the
| equal freedom of all races and creeds
and the slaughter of Jews would be
| destructive of democracy.

adjustment of world affairs, for Po-
land and Pumania to come into court

The Great Victory and the Armenians

At the conclusion of the victorious
Allied Armistice in Europe, no other
people upon the face of the earth
were so much overcome with joy and
Thanksgiving as the suffering remnants
of the martyred Armenia. Some ma
tons are famous for their art some
for their literature, some for their
commerce, some for their CrueltieS
and some for their sufferings. Arme-
MIA has become famous for her in
Vlnclble endurance in frequent and
age-lOng sufferings. Thus the ringing
message of the triumph of freedom,
justice and righteousness fills with
immense joy and satisfaction the heart
of every Arm enian more than any
other person who has had the good
fortune of being under a decent gov
eminent.
In 1887, at the close of the Turco-
Russian war, the hopes and dreams of
Armenia were shattered to pieces,
when at the trial of Berlin, the Euro
pean powers left the Armenian states
once more under the tyrannic and
blOod-thirsty rule of Turkey, thereby
creating a seemingly favorable balance
in European politics, but unconscious
ly laying the foundations for the
dSNGlOpm6nl OF the great and most
tragic war.
History does not recognize COM
promises or secret diplomacies in the
long run. When even d small nation
is deprived of her own rights, in repa-
ration to her supreme sacrifice, it
means the beginning of a fermenta-
ton for future war.
Germany and her Allies have al
ready begun to seek the favor and
sympathy of the great victorious ma
tons, thereby either to split the unity
and harmony dearly brought about.
or with deceitful promises to keep the
bleeding small nations and their re-
sourceful territories under their
british contract.
These are the great days for serious
and Watchful elaboration for all the
freedom loving people, in particular
for the American people who are sin
cere and free of the vice of European
secret diplomacies. America has en-
tered into this war not for territorial
or political interests, but for the cause
of humanity and justice. Therefore
with the glorious ending of the vic
tories on the battlefelds, the real task
of America and her noble Allies begins
in the settlement of the peace terms,
with loyal hearts to the causes Of free
dom and justice in helping to all the

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP.

If it is true that the press mirrors
may not participate in the peace con-
ference in Europe. A canvass of the
leading newspapers in the country by
the New York Times discloses a TWO
TO one majority against the President
leaving this country. The papers of
whom inquiry was made are of all
compIexions politically so 1t cannot
be said that partisanship enters into
the DISCUSSION.
Editors who oppose such Journey
bv President Wilson do so in the be-
lief that his place during the ap-
preaching period of reconstruction is
ar his official post in Washington and
while admitting that there is no Con-
r+i+utiona1 requirement blocking such
a mission they cite the unwritten law
several times ignored, which keeps
the President on United States soil
during his term of office.
The New York World says: The
President can peELoIl1 ho SchNASS I"
the United States or to the world in
personal attendance at the peace con-
ference in Europe which he cannot as
well perform from his official post in
Washington"
On the other hand, the Boston
Globe believes active participation is
desirable, saying: THE choice is only
between his participation by cable or
IN person, end the advantages of the
litter ire obvious.
The Philadelphia Inquirer fore
casts a long period of discussion when
it says: Unless the President is
willing to remain away from Wash
ington for an indefinite period he
would do well to abandon all
thoughts of the project"
The Baltimore American is of the
opinion that President Wilson would
play second fiddle at the conference
because 1.-The man to whom the finger
of logic points as the one who should
direct the deliberations is Premier

not increase our prestige or add to
our pride to find our President sit
