AMERICA MAKES
MERRY ON FIRST
| PEACE CHRISTMAS

Washington. Dec. 25.-America today
celebrated victory Christmas.
With the world at peace for the
first Christmas since 1913 because Of
the victories Of the military forces Of
the United States ana the allies, the
American people appeared determined
to make today's celebration memoir
liable. This determination seemed to
have been intensified by President
Wilson's Christmas message to the
American people, saying that
throughout the great nations with
which we have been associated in this
war, public opinion strongly sustains
all proposals for a just and lasting
peace"
A return to the Merry Christmas Of
former years was apparent through
out the nation. Bushes reviews shaw
ed that despite the uncertainties of
reconstruction. the old spirit Of gov
ing accompanied by good will toward
men had been revived
In the celebration of the victory
Christmas. the soldiers and sailors
who made such a Christmas possible
had large pat. Though large part
of the military force Of the nation re-
turned were given a welcome in every
community and had large part in the

In Washington the day was cele-
brated quietly. but Fundamentally.
For the first time in the nations his

NATIONS LEAGUE
TO PUNISH TURK
ARMENIAN HOPE
BY MIRIAM SEVASLY.

ashington, Dec. 23.-Armenia
should be given national independence
by the Versailles peace conference.
The peace conference should dis
solve the present Turkish empire.
Armenia hopes for a league Of ma
lions.
The Armenian people hope that the
appalling crime perpetrated against
them by the Turks in the great war
will be the last act i'm the bloody his
tory Of the Ottoman Empire.
It is impossible to think that the
civilized world will permit race with
restrained and UNPUBLISHED.
The dissolution of the Ottoman En-
pire should have been brought about
a century ago.
We are convinced that the partici-
patton of the United States in the
peace conference will be instrumental
in bringing about a solution of the
near-eastern and Armenial questions.
Armenian territory in Turkey in
cludes six Armenian vilayets or prov
fnces, and the province of Cilicia. The
population Of these provinces in 1912
was 100000, Of which the Armenians
represented 46 per cent, the Turks 2S
per cent, the Kurds 10 per cent and
It was with view to modifying this
proportion OF numbers that the Turk
ish government for the last forty
years has had recourse to periodical
massacres. BY killing Armenians, the
Turkish statesmen thought they were
getting rid of the Armenian ques-
ton.
The Armenians are entitled. accord
ing to their numbers, on historical.
geogra phical and chronological grounds
to territory covering $4,000 square
miles. extending from the Gulf Of
Alexandretta, known as the Sea of
Armenia in medieval times, to the
Russo Persian frontier.
A slice Of land on the Black Sea
should be made a part of Armenia.
This would leave a territory Of ESQ.,
900 square miles in Anatolia for the
future state. which will contain what
remains Of the Turkish element, ag-
gregating about four millions of peo-
pie.
Asks Independent State.
Tt is but fair that one and in
Invisible Armenia, including Russian.
Turkish and Persian Armenia, should
be constituted as one independent
state. There are 1.356,000 Armenians
in the Trans caucasus bordering
Turkish Armenia, and almost as many
in Persia
The state thus created should be-
come the cornerstone of a lasting
peace in the near east, with a popula-
ton of 5000, 900 Arnenians and from
1 900, 900 to 100000 non Armenians

independence shall be guaranteed by

AGRICULTURE is
FACING SERIOUS SITUATION
Farm Loan Board Urges Need Of APP
priation BY Congress Of
$lOO,OOO,O 900

American agriculture is facing a
serious financial situation, the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board declared in
its first annual report to Congress on
Thursday
recommendation are made to per-
nit the Secretary of the Treasury to
purchase during the coming year
s100,000,000 worth Of farm loan bonds,
If necessary, these bonds to be re-
sold 10 investors as the demand for
them develops This, it is declared.
will provide the basic industry of
the United States with the capital
needed to increase food production
during the war, stabilize interest
rates and encourage bond purchases. .
Millions of dollars of foreign cap
ital which had been invested in farm
mortgages in the United States have
been Withdrawn on account of the
war" the report declares. The
funds of large corporations and indi-
vidual investors which have been en-
ployed freely in the making of farm
mortgages in the past are being kept
in more liquid and available form on
account of the war conditions, and a
great deal of local capital heretofore
loaned to farmers has been diverted
because of more attractive interest
rates in other fields.
All of this had thrown tre-
mendously increased burden upon the
Federal Reserve System. Not only
has the reduction in the amount of
available funds for farm loans in
creased the demands upon the sys-
TEN, but it has multiplied the diff
oulties under which it operates, be-
cause the capital which the Federal
Land banks lend TO farmers is pro-
cured by the sale Of farm loan bonds
and the sale of these bonds has been
interfered with by this abnormal sit
uation"
In addition to recommending the
authorization to Mr.. McAdoo to pur-
chase 500. 0O0,0 600 worth Of farm loan
bonds this year, the report urges that
the maximum loan limit be increased
from $4,000 to $500. that denomi-
nations of the bonds be changed
from s25 10 $50, and from $50 to $40.
TO eliminate the fractional cent in
computing interest" and to amend
the existing law so that a borrower
may pay any or all of his indebted
ness on any interest date instead of
after five years as now.

INFLUENCE OF HUMOR.

The influence of humor is not so
ephemeral and temporary as we may
be won't to imagine II lives on. and
though possibly changing in form and
affecting different settings it contin-
ues to charm and relieve a world that
has altogether enough Of tragedy in
it. We are told the soldiers in the
trenches OF France find their keenest
delight in reading the works Of Mark
Twain, al the same time giving
thanks TO the memory of that cele-
brated humorist that he yer pictured
so many droll situations and wrote
out so many quaint sayings We had
always supposed Marks kind of hui
NOR was exactly opposite to that OF
the English. but evidently he has con-
quered them and It is well for them
That this is true.
We might be safe in expecting the
boys in the trenches would find in
spiration in reading Plutarch's Lives,
as well as anecdotes OF the immortal
|. heroes Of later history Literature is
full Of that kind OF romance and chiv-
airy which we might fancy would take
up the attention Of men who live in
the camps Of lighting armies. Yet it
is quite possible that the soldiers
have enough Of the heroic in their
everyday lives, and are glad to turn
away from the stern reality of their
present situation TO the merrier moods
OF the humorists. Certainly. we can
understand how much OF relief it
must be to turn to lighter things amid
such surroundings
We think Of the influence of the
poet, the artist and the philosopher as
going on from generation to genera
ton Then. why not the humorist?
He surely Is a friend to most OF us
often a very pleasant friend in time of
need-and serves us with a most re-
freshing relish We should never de-
sire TO take out Of our literature the
sparkle of Washington Irving. oliver
Wendell Holmes, James Russell Low
ell and Mark Twain, to say nothing oe
the iater-day humorists who are bid
ding fair, some Of them, to getting in
to the class Of our legitimate mirth-
producers.
