expert drive a couple Of hundred
yards he IL apt to try to duplicate
the performance. Nothing could be
more costly to golfing form.
The first thing for the novice TO
learn Is sense Of direction. This
may be obtained by a proper dis
lance. an easy swing and a per-
feet follow thru.
Later on, when the novice learns
how to hit the ball. he may begin
practicing for distance, but must
remember that a short perfect drive
down the fairway iH worth more
than a long slice into the rough.
The first picture shows the
stance Of Chick Evans. national
amateur and open champion. Evans
pose Is natural in addressing the
ball. which is a trifle In front OF
center.
The top Of the swing shows that
the club is brought horizontal to
the body. the left leg Is bent at
the knee. while the right leg Is
stiff, forming a pivot for the swing.
The left foot must never be taken
from the ground.
The third picture shows the fin
ish Of the swing. The club has
described a complete circle. the fol

should accustom himself TO this
stroke by practicinR on dandclion

Tonight, as we sit here, the COM

ference with Marshal Foch, who has
presented them in behalf of America
and the nations associated with it the
IA demands of Woodrow Wilson and
the armistice drawn up by the allied
military leaders and indorsed by the
heads of the allied governments.
We shall hear shortly whether
they have accepted that arnlistice and
peace smiles on the world or we shall
near that they have lacked wisdom.
Our army and navy will enforce these
demands at any cost, MO matter how
long 1t may require
Mr.. Daniels said that whether peace
comes at this time or not the United
States will continue to build warships

ARMEN1ANs WILL BE RIGHTED.
Lord Robert Cecil Tells of the Service
of ArmenianS.

London, Nov. 1.-THE British gov
ernment is determined that the
wrongs suffered by the Armenians at
the hands of the Turks shall be right
! ed and their recurrence made inpos-
sible writes Lord Robert Cecil, the
parliamentary Under Secretary OF
State for Foreign Affairs, to Viscount
Bryce.
Four points mentioned by Lord Ce-
Gil as the charter Of the Armenians'
right to liberation at the hands of the
allies, are:
The refusal of the Armenians as
| nation in the fall Of 1914 to work for
the cause of Turkey and her allies,
although offers Of autonomy were
made if they actively assisted Turkey
lin the war.
Partly on account of this cour-
ians were Systematically murdered by
the Turkish government in 1915,
two-thirds Of the population being
exterminated by most coldblooded
and fendish methods-700,0 900 men,
women and children being killed.
From the beginning of the war
that half Of the Armenian nation un-
der Russian sovereignty organized
volunteer corps and bore the brunt
Of some of the heaviest fighting in
Caucasia under their leader And
rank.
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 British in Mesopotamia."
Lord Robert Cecil adds that Ar
mcnians are still fighting in Syria and
have been taking part in the Pales-
tine campaign.

ATLANTA MEETING.
Resolution Calls for Abolishmcnt OF
the War Industries Board when
:Armist;ce Now Pending is Signed.

Atlanta, Nov. Resolutions call
ing for the abolishment Of the war
industries board immediately upon
the conclusion of the armistice now
pending. and calling on farmers and
dealers to hold their cotton for 225
cents a pound were adopted 1t Il
meeting here today OF the Cotton
States Advisory Marketing Board. The
meeting. which was called at the re-
DUES Of Governor Manning OF South
Carolina, was for the purpose of dis
cussing the cotton situation, especial
ly the recent fall in price. 1t was at
tended by commissioners of agricul-
ture, bankers, cotton dealers and
o;her representatives from every
State in the cotton belt.
The resolution calling for dissolc-
ton Of the war industries board was
introduced by O. P. Ford OF Alabama
and followed a discussion at the ait
ernoon session of the meeting during
which the board was critizcd for the
alleged part it had played in the de-
cline recently in the price of cot
ton.

ter, S. c., urging cotton farmers ana
dealers not to sci! their cotton 'iol

1t was the opinion OF the meeting
expressed in a resolution adopted al
the afternoon session, that the re
cent heavy break in cotton prices Is
wholly unjustified by existing condi-
tons and the great disturbance IN
cident to the heavy break in the mar
ket has temporarily paralyzed the
agricultural and business interests Of
the South and entailed heavy losse;
to the cotton producer by reason OF
the price being below the cost OF pro
duction.''
