Manufacturer and dealers are en-.
eouraged under the policy Of the navy
department to deal direct with the de-
partment. The purpose is to eliminate
the mfddleman In purchases of sup
plies and materials. IT.
I'm my annual report" says Rear
Admiral Samuel MCGOWAN, "manufac.
turers were warned against profiteer-
ing agents, professional contractors,
and naval brokers. In our regular mail
ing circulars of January 8, 1918, we ex-
pressed the hope that manufacturers
who have not awaited themselves of
the opportunity to bid direct will do
so, as it will prove Of advantage to
them in bringing them in more init
mate touch with the navy and thereby
make q reputation for the materials
which they MANUFACTURED
'The fact is the responsibility Of
contractors was never so thoroughly
Investigated and they were never held
to stricter accountability than they
have been since this country entered
the war. The number of responsible
direct bidders has increased greatly
and the number Of agents and interme-
diaries has been reduced to min
imum. The safeguards against profit
eering have been strengthened, not re-
laxed."
There are over $4,000 names on the
bidders list of the navy bureau Of
supplies and accounts, representing
every section of the country. These
manufacturers and dealers furnish
over 10000 classics of articles used by
the navy.

RETURN OF TURKS IS
 CAUSE FOR ALARM

LONDON: The return of the Turks to Armenia, since the withdrawal of the Russian Caucasian armies, may be expected to plunge Armenia into a chapter of atrocities and massacres. That the Turkish action in this direc- tion will be met with no opposition from Germany may be gathered from the fact that the German newspapers recently printed several official Turk ish communications bearing close re- semblance 10 the Turkish pronounce ments which preceded the earlier Ar menian masacres. A communication published last week said:
 Armed bands of Armenian guer- illas are beginning to persecute the Ottoman inhabitants of Armenia and appeals to the Russian military are unavailing. The facts bearing on this are confirmed by testimony of natives who have escaped from the claws or the Turks. Moreover. deputations have been sent to the Turkish govern ment with requests by the population. who are defenseless against Armen- ian persecution and continually ex- posed to their atrocities"
 The statement concludes with list of significant atrocities alleged to have been perpetrated by Armenians.
