What Armenia Wants.
Ie Editor OF THE TINES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
The Armenians feel that they are
placed in a very uncertain situation
in spite of the fact that they have
been fighting on every front of the
war. After the collapse OF Russia
northern Armenia was in desperate
isolation; the GeOrgians were forced
to make a separate peace. and the
Armenians had to face not only the
attack of a big Turkish army. but
also the treacherous onslaught OF the
Tartar elements. armed to their
teeth. Under such conditions the
Armenians fought for months. and
more than once gave a crushing de-
feat to the Turkish armies, until
they could no longer Withstand the
pressure on every side. While the
Turks were concentrating their forces
to annihilate the Armenians on the
north. the British fronts were COM
paratively relieved of pressure. Amer
lea failed to declare war against
Turkey and the allies denied an I'M
equivocal recognition of the bellig
rency OF the Armenians. The Turks
were obliged to acknowledge the in
dependence OF the Armenians in an
area where they could not break
through, and in order not to call the
country by its real but to the Turk
painful name OF Armenia, they called
1t the Republic of Ararat.
Now we hear of an undercurrent
movement to preserve the integrity OF
Turkey. controlled by one or more
governments. until the constituent ma
tionAlities are able to govern them
selves. Even some friends OF the Ar
menians have subscribed to this
masked injustice. arguing that you
can not create a nation In one day.
Such an arrangement would perpetuate
the old British mistake and breed fu-
ture wars.
The ArmenianS abhor either being
classed with the Turk or having their
country known rs part OF Turkey. The
Armenians do not need TO be created
as a nation. They were a nation long
before Turkey existed. and they were
a nation under the Turkish. Russian.
and Persian governments, with their
own constitutional and elective institu-
lions. with their splendid public
schools. etc. And they are a nation
now. squeezed into the district Of

In a life companion.
Loving hearts may exist in I'M
wise girls or in wise ones. It's
something you will have to de-
termine for yourself in each case.
But be sure that you do de-
termine it in the case of a clever
girl whom you're in love with.
Don't simply take it for granted
that it isn't there. For if it
does exist, and your love is re-
turned, / assure you that you
are fortunate.
For intelligence doesn't fade
and grow stale, like the other
charms | have been speaking of.
If a girl is mentally companion
able to her lover at twenty, she'll
be an even more inspiring COM
rade decade later. And though
you may enjoy a mere filtration
with the girl who is frothy and
cute" the girl for a lifetime's
love is the girl with brains.
She Needs Love, Too.
Perhaps she doesn't love you,
this girl who is always so busy
and who never spreads for you
the pretty silken snares of love.
II you love her, find out. Don't
on any account be afraid of her.
Don't wait wistfully outside her
door, unable to make up your
mind to ring. Or if you are
once inside, don't imagine you
have always to talk on "high-
brow" subjects. She is Just as
human as you are. Perhaps she
too has a heart in need of love.
Don't stupidity assume that she
has lost contact with the world of
emotion because she is educating
her mind. / never saw a twenty
year-old girl who had educated
the emotion out of herself.

twenty or so are easily misled. IL
you are already good friends, and
you want to be more than friends,
why should you hesitate to try to
get beneath that educated surface
lof hers? II you are the right man
to call out her love, you will find
that she Is by no means indifferent
to the joyous depths OF live, and
that an intellectual girl has other
attributes than intellect.
Marriage based on love is a
beautiful thing in any case. But
its beauty has more meaning and
keeps alive longer II the lovers
share together all the interests Of
life. not merely one or two Of
them.
Every home needs a woman with
brains at the head of il. Every
child needs a woman with brains
for a mother. Every man needs a
woman with brains for a wife.
Remembering these things. don't
be too timid in following up your
admiration OF the intellectual
