STARVING ARNEN|ANS IN
PIT|fUL CRY TO AMERICA
5000, 900, Mostly Women and Chill
dren Are Eating Human Flesh
to Maintain Life

or all the worthy war charities
none is deserving of more prompt
and generous attention than that OF
the Armenian and Syrian Relief.
Every savage atrocity that the
fiendish cruelty of the Turk, could
devise has been visited upon these
unfortunate people until today over
100000 of them, mostly women
aud children are literally starving
for lack of food and clothing.
An intimate knowledge OF the
condition of these races now stretch
ing out their feeble hands to Amer
lea for help would wiring the heart
of stole and the work of relief has
not only been Endorsed by President
Wilson but most urgently and sym
pathetically urged by him, and i'm
pressed by their pitiful condition he
has further issued proclamation
asking the people to come to the
rescue of these martyrs to a cause
similar to our own.
Word comes from abroad tha
women In their frenzy are abandon
ing their infants and many are sell.
ing their daughters to buy food and
even eating refuse and human fiesh
to maintain life.
consuls, missionaries and officials
returning to this country confirm
these awful facts. and il is declared
that no portion of the world is today
suffering as are the people of Asia
Minor, Syria, Palestine and Persia.
America alone can save them and
as In every appeal thus far made to
her this appeal will not be made In
vain. The Northern California
branch for this relief of which Ne
vada is part is organized with Wal
lace NJ Alexander. chairman and
William II. Crocker treasurer and
the National Chairman is ex-Presi-
dent Taft.
This branch recently appointed
upon the suggestion of the Council
of Defense. e. N. Richardson as
Chairman for Churchill County who
has already undertaken the work of
this county and has ap-
pointed J. p. Fay as publicity agent
and will at once enlist the aid of
willing workers throughout the
county.
The American Red Cross approves
the work and is contributing $780,
900 per month toward il and realiz-
ing the utter inadequacy of this
sum has urged the National Com
mite for Armenian Relief to secure
the balance needed which is s30,-
600, 900.
The quota for Churhcill county is
$3.50 and as a beginning toward this
fund acting upon many suggestions
from friends of the cause the com
mittee is preparing a booklet con-
tanning the names on the Honor Roll
for the Fourth Liberty Loan the de-
mand for a list of which has been
frequent a charge to be made for
them and the returns to be donated
to this all worthy relief.
Pending the more complete org
anization any contributions may be
left with the Bank OF Fallon, the
treasurer.

CHRISTMAS NAIL PACKAGES
FOR SOLDIERS OVER SEAS
Red Cross Rules for Guidance OF
Those Intending to Send Christ
mas Remembrances

In answer to the many inquiries
regarding mail packages for our
boys over seas the Red Cross has
prepared the following rules for the
guidance OF those intending to send
Christmas packages abroad and 1t is
well for such persons to carefully
digest them as they must be fol-
lowed to the letter:
In order to avoid overlapping and
crowding of the mails, all Christmas
boxes sent to boys overseas must be
sent directly through the hands of
the Red Cross. The National Red
Cross sends one label to every boy
overseas. This label is sent by the
boy to his friends or relatives at
home, and no packages is accepted
for shipment without this official
label. In case the label is lost or is
not sent. no duplicate can be OBJ
tanned and the boy can receive no
package.
The packages must be inspected
by the Red Cross, and for this pur-
pose the committee in charge of in
spection will hold Office hours prob
ably in the C. E. Kent Co. store
daily beginning November 10. The
last mailing date is November 20,
but for convenience of the commit
tee 1t is asked that all persons have
their packages in by November Is.
The National Red Cross has an
nounced the following regulations,
which must be observed absolutely:
l. Exclude any article which is
forbidden.
II. Do not send written notes or
messages In the parcel.
III. Contents should be firmly
packed but there should be no
bulge in the container
w. Weigh the filled carton un-
wrapped. 1t must not weigh more
than two pounds, fifteen ounces. If
the parcel is overweight some ar
ticle must be removed.
V. When the parcel meets the
weight requirement, wrap it up in
heavy wrapping paper, and tie it se-
curely. Remember the parcel may
receive rough usage. Do this care
fully.
VI. The post Office department
will accept no package without the
overseas label. The label is to be
placed on the package by the in
spection committee. The person
shall in the presence of the inspect
ion committee afix the necessary
postage. In the event of Christ
mas package label being lost, no
duplicate can be obtained. This
rule cannot be altered by anybody. ]
In regard to the navy and all
other branches of the service:
l. The boxes must be substantial
wooden or tin box with hinge or
screw top covers.
II. The box may weigh 20 pounds
and be two cubic feet in volume.
Ill. 1t must be we'll strapped.
". The name and address of the
sender must appear on the outside
with the notation Xmas box. The
Red Cross has nothing to do with
sending these boxes, and the fore
going rules do not include soldiers
or sailors in the u S.
Persons desiring further informa-
tion call telephone S44.
The committees consist OF Mrs. F.
E. Nichols, chairman; Mrs. NJ. Fl.
Wallace, chairman on Inspection,
and Miss Alice Towle, chairman of
Publicity.

u. S. Hospital Men
est Trench Fever

PARIS, March Sixty enlisted men
Of the United States Sanitary Corps, all
from New England, are now serving as
hosts TO normal or infected lice, or have
received injections Of blood from sol
diera known to have been suffering
from trench fever. They are quartered d
in British base hospital, where the
American Red Cross is uaing them for
an investigation Of trench fever, which
.s new since the war.
The organism producing the fever
has not yet been discovered by micro
scope, although it heads the fevers
among the British troops at the front
and stands second in the list Of those
causing the greatest wastagc. The dis
ease ia not fatal, but it means an alb
sencc Of six to eight weeks from the
ranks.
Scarcity Of physicians in the British
army prevented the Royal Army Medi-
cal Corps from studying the cause of
the disease. The American Red Cross
decided 10 undertake a survey based on
the yellow fever investigation in Cuba.
, With the approval OF General Perish
ing call for volunteers was made, and
virtually every member Of the 10lst,
1924 and l04th Field Hospitals and the
i0lst, IG3d and l04th Ambulaacc com
papieB offered TO submit to the experi-
rnent. sixty men were selected.

a complete laboratory equipment and
everything necessary to trace the trans
mission Of the parasites, has been pro

Charges Germans
Plot Massacre
OF Armenians
Barton, Of Missionary
Board, Says Refugees
Are To Be Wiped Out

BOSTON, March 5.-"There is evil
dence at the present time that German
influences are being used upon the Tar
tars IN Russia to institute a massacre
upon the 100000 Armenians and the
1856, 900 Georgians dwelling in the
rans-Caucasus," says statement
issued tonight by James L. Barton,
foreign secretary of the American
board OF Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, and chairman Of the Ameri-
can committee for Armenian and
syrian Relief. The statement adds that
$4,000 of those in the Trans Caucasus
are Armenian refugees from Turkey.
UNLESS something can be done by
the Allies to stop this carnival OF in
discriminate slaughter OF the innocent
and helpless" the statement continues,
we may soon expect reports of massa-
cres IN those regions surprising in
horrors the Armenian atrocities of two
and three years ago"
DR.. Barton calls attention to the re-
lterated utterances OF various German
writers to the effect that the natural
area of expansion for the Central pow
ers is East and not West. Germany
IS not now fighting for conquest in the
W WeSt, he says, "but that she may con-
solidate her holdings in the Balkans
and Asia Minor. The loss Of Bagdad
and Jerusalem was keen blow to her
ambitions, but she still hopes to gain
through Russian detection what she hss
lost by the aggression Of the Allied
forces from the south.

Clergy of Flanders
Oppose Separation

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Bel
gian Legation received to-day by cable
the text of the protest by the Bishop OF
Ghent against the German intrigue to
separate Flanders from the rest of Bel
GUM. The protest follows:
"The clergy Of our diocese. having
been ever noted for their fidelity TO the
Belgian fatherland and firmly believing
that the love of our country is a duty
and Christian virtue, | deem it my
duty to declare, in my own name and
in the name Of the clergy of the Do
cese of Ghcnt, that we are absolutely
not in accord with the actions of the
committee which calls itself The Coun-
Gil Of Flanders,' and that we consider
it duty to remain faithful to the ties
which bind us to the Belgian father
land. to its King and to is govern

"hlcn tne advance of the enemy's in
iia"lry followed the opening of his bonn
pd'onent appears to have overwhelme ed
our troops both in the line and the i'm
,nedlate supper, almost before they
had realized the attack had begun The
Na'use OF the bombardment. which
seems tc nave been heavy enough to
nrst seriously Alarming them, con-
tributed to the success Of the enemy's
plans.
NO Warning Barrage
"No steadily advancing .barrage
gave warning of the approach OF the
herman assault columns, whose secret
assembly was assisted by the many
deep folds and hollows typical of the
chalk formation, ana was shielded
from observation from the air by the
early morning mist. It was only
when the attack was upon them that
great numbers Of low-hving German
alrplanes rained machine-gun fire
upon our infantry, while the extern
Sive use Of smoke shells and bombs
made it extremely difficult for our
troops TO see what was happening on
other parts of the battlefield or to
follow the movements of the enemy.
In short. there is little doubt that
although an attack was expected gen
orally, yet in these areas Of the battle,
at the moment OF its delivery, the as
sault effected local SURPRISE"
The field marshal then tells how he
decided to give up part OF the ground
won and continues:
"flthough this decision involved the
giving up Of important positions most
Gallantly won, had no doubt as to
the correct course under the con.
ditions.'
Withdrawal Successful
Field Marshal Haig notes that the
ern part of the Cambria sector) was
completed successfully without inter
ference from the enemy on the morn
ing OF December !.
Summarizing the results of the
three weeks fighting, the field mar
shall says:
There is little doubt that our oper-
ations were of considerable indirect
assistance to the Allied forces in
Italy. Large demands were made
upon the available German reserves
at time when q great concentration
Of German divisions was still being
maintained in Flanders. There is evi-
dencc that German divisions intended
for the Italian theatre were diverted
TO the Cambria front and 1t is prob
able that a further concentration Of
German forces against Italy was sus-
pended for at least two weeks at a
most critical period. when our Allies
were making their first stand on the
Piave line
Had Field Marshal Haig not met
with a check which compelled him to
abandon part of the captured territory
what he might have accomplished he
thus discloses:
My intentions as regards subse-
quent exploitation were to push west
ward and northwestward taking the
Hiadenburg line in the reverse from
Moeuvres TO the River Scarpe and
capturing all the enemys defences and
probably most of his garrisons lying
west OF line from Cambria north
ward to the Sensee and south Of that
river and the Scarpe.
"Time would have been required to
enable us to develop and complete
the operation, but the prospects Of
gaining the necessary time were, IN
my opinion, good enough to Justify the
attempt to execute the plan. am OF

success sufficiently complete TO bl :

The CHAPTER Of Spanish teachers sets
forth an energetic protest against
any association between our profession
and anything that is not loyal, honest
and straightforward
THE only propaganda which the
teachers of Spanish make and acknowl-
edge consists in proving that the Cas-
tilian language opens the eyes of the
student TO a world of unsurpassed
beauty, gives him powerful element
OF triumph in the struggle OF life and
draws him nearer 20 our natural friends

is to show lust how the American peo-
pie really do feel in this matter be-
fore that speech is made We want

The war platform which the Ameri-
can Rights League and the American
Defence Society have drawn up and
which they urge all patriotic Ameri-
cans to sign and forward to their Con
gressmen consists OF five planks, as fol
lows:
]. We are opposed to peace negotia-
ions with an unbea.en and unrepent-
ant Germany.
9 We believe that the war can only
be won by lighting.
g. We believe that peace discussions
while Germany is consolidating her
successes Will only prolong the war by
encouraging Germany and weakening
americas will to fight.
d. In view Of Germany's victory over
Russia, we believe that long and bit
ter war faces US, requiring millions
Of American soldiers in Europe.
5. We respectfully urge the Presi-
dent to organize the fighting forces OF
the American nation to the full limit
of our power, and to prosecute the
war to a final victory which alone can
secure an assured peace-a peace with
justice.
