The magnitude of such losses was due
to the triple artillery fire of the allies,
maintained for forty consecutive hours,
often crossfiring from two or three di-

feature of this artillery action WAS
the complete unity brpnght about

be recorded that an enemy battery with

destroyed completely. The enemy was

church was blown UP he was cut on

confirmation of reports that the Ger

great affection to the end. With
prayers they are opening the closed
doors Of heaven, and with holy petit.
tion causing the angel of redemption
to descend and release them by
death. Under the oppression of the
blood-thirsty Turk, which dismays
ones imagination, every home has
taken the place of Calvary, while the
land is nothing but an area of hui
man skulls whose circumference is
as scarlet and the diameter as red
like crimson by the blood of the
martyrs who go to fill the City of
God. But the magnitude of this
tragic heritage of suffering and con-
centration of agony and pain and
quintessence of horror and diabolical
cruelty has reached it's summit
within the past two years when a
million have been massacred in the
fearful brevity of six months; an
aim that is sanctioned in the name
of the god of war to wipe away the
most noble Christian race by starva-
ton.
Oh, the dealu clouds are hanging
heavily upon the horizon of tens of
thousands Of Armenians, and the
lightning of starvation is ready to
strike the destiny of the remnant Of
this Christian race, unless the Amer
lean charity, which is their only hope,
will accept Christianity's mightiest
challenge and plunge forward with
the most prompt and unparalleled
sacrifice of means that knows no
boundary!
The drive for this fund to relieve
these suffering people will be put
on in Bingham county next week be-
ginning with the twelfth, and will
be continued under the supervision
of Mrs. James Duckworth of Black
foot. A canvass will be made in
every community. 1t is hoped that
every man, woman and child in the
country will give something towards
his fund and thus have share in
extending a helping hand to dying
race.

WOULD EMIGRATE ...
TO HOSTILE LAND

AMSTERDAM, -"There
is not a single German collonist In
Russia. who places the smallest faith
in the Russian government. Our
minds are made up. If Germany
| does not protect us with strong
hand there is only one way out,
namely, to emigrate to the United
| States or Canada"
This is the statement of Pastor
Johannes Schleuning who has come
to Berlin representing the interests
of so-called Volga Germans, q farm
ing colony of 100000 persons estab-
lished along that river. -.
After the Brest-Litovsk peace
Schleuning returned from three
years Punishment in Siberia and
made himself spokesman of two mil
lion German settlers spread over diff
ferent regions of Russia.
BOlsheviki Complete Ruin
According to his statement, the
colonists were incorporated in the
Russian army, first sent to the Rus
so-German front and then some three
hundred thousand were transferred
to the Caucasus. There they under
went terrible sufferings, thousands
died; those staying at home had their
properties confiscated, were reduced
to beggary and the Bolsheviki COM
pleted their ruin.
VOlga colOnists now ask to be as
sisted back to Germany or permitted
to settle IN the Baltic provinces.
Failing this they intend to emigrate
to America, declares Schleuning, who
thus places before the German gov
eminent a problem filled with pecu-
liar difficulties.

an extra effort is being made to speed
up this work, and / am glad to be
able to say that the committee has
ever reason to believe that 1919 will
see completed and thoro trunk
highway from Salt Lake City thru
northern Utah, southern Idaho, and
the upper Snake river valley to yell
lowstone.
Numbers Of contracts for hard
surface construction have been let
in Utah. In Idaho the usual dragg-
ing and leveling work is going on.
In Bonneville and Jefferson counties,
where some trouble las been encoun-
tered plan of road improvement,
while the new work is not progress
ing as rapidly as it might, the high
way should be in first class condi-
ton for heavy hauling and autos by
next summer. The highway is now
in fine condition from Salt Lake to
Bonneville county, and from the
south fork of Snake river at Lorenzo
thru Madison and Fremont counties
to Warm river. The new Warm
river section Of the highway from
Ashton to the Harriman-G uggenheir
ranch in Island park, Temporarily con-
structed last year has been recently
graded, leveled and dragged, and is
now in good condition. We averaged
twenty-five miles an hour coming
down without discomfort, and in per-
feet safety. From the Hartman
ranch to Ripley's road is good. and
from there to Buffalo river in fair
condition, only on account of recent
heavy storms. From that point to
Flatrock Crossing at Mack's the road
is good and on the south end of
Henry's Lake fiat, except for a few
places where heavy storms have
made mud holes which are now dried
up and little rough. From there
on to Yellowstone the highway is
good.

cars from all points of tn compass

hood of LOO to 200 more local cars
