ACCUSES HIM OF
 SLAUGHTER PLOTS
Boston Mission Official Fears
 Massacre by Tatar HordeS

Boston, March 6-"There is evil dence that at the present time German influences are being used upon the . Tatars in Russia to institute a massacre
 upon the 1,60G,00O Arnaenians and the 1,350,00 Georgians dwelling in the Trans -caucausus'' says a statement issued by James l.. Barton. Foreign Secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and chairman of the American com mittee for Armenian and Syrian relief. The statement adds that 350, 900 Of the people in the Transcaucasus are Ar menian refugees from Turkey.
 Unless som etning can be done by the Allies to stop this carnival of in discriminate slaughter of the innocent and helpless it continued, i've may soon expect reports of maSsacreS in those regions SurpaSSing in horrors the Arcmenian atrocities of two anC
 three years ago.
 Dr. Barton calls attention to the reiterated utteranceS of various Ger
 man writers to the effect that the na-
 tural area of expansion for the Gen.
 tral Powers is east and not west. Ger
 many is not now fighting for conquest
 in the west" he says, but that she

 Bagdad and Jerusalem was a keen
 blow to her ambitions, but still she hopes to gain through Russian de- lection what she has lost by the az eression of the allied forces from the south.
 The point least understood in the west was the endeavor of Germany to use the Moslems of Turkey in a holy war, accompanied by all the horrors of Moslem fanaticism. Had the expecta- tions of the Kaiser and the Sultan been realized the world would have witnessed q carnival of slaughter in India, Persia, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, all of Sorth Africa and wherever Mos lens dwell in considerable mum berS surpassing in savagcry and horror anything recorded of Tamerlane or Genghis Khan.
 'The only thing that saved the world was the fact that the Moslems were more humane than the SO called 1 Christian monarchs gave them credit 1 for being

Realizing that the weather has a
great deal to do with what one wants
to eat, a large firm controlling a chain
of restaurants would consult the FORE
cast before arranging menus and buy
ing supplies for the following day :.
They realized that when it is cold
and brisk, the demand for meats is
greater than usual and that warm and
muggy conditions create a desire for
dairy products, fruits and salads.
One of the most progressive physi-
clans in Pensacola keeps a weather
eye on the forecasts. as he knows the
influence certain conditions exert on
various diseases.
Value of Storm Warnings.
The value of storm warnings need
not be questioned here, as the writer
has encountered none but favorable
comments concerning this phase OF
the weather bureau activity. For the
benefit Of those who have yet to
learn, it might be mentioned that
those displayed for a single hurricane
are known to have detained in port
on our Atlantic coast vessels valued
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1918-12-24

with their cargoes at over thirty mil
lion dollars.
These storm warnings are displayed
at 1854 coast stations, divided as fol-
lows: $50 on the Atlantic, So on the
Gulf, ~ on the Pacific, 1o3 on the
Great Lakes and 2 in Porto Rico.
The displays are made by means of
flags during the day and lanterns by
night. There are three kinds OF warn
ings, viz: Small craft, storm and fur-
ricane or whole gale. The small craft,
a red pennat flying alone, indicates
that moderately strong winds, usually
less than 40 miles, are expected.
The storm warnings indicate an ex-
pectancy of winds from 40 o56 miles.
The flags used are red and white pen
naIlts in connection with the storm
flag, the latter being red square flag
with black center. A red pennant, in
connection with the stom flag, indi-
Gates eastern winds; northeast If
above the storm flag and southeast IL
below. A white pennant with the
storm flag indicates westerly winds
northwest II above and southwest II
below.
The hurricane or whole gale display
is made by means of two stom flags
