MAKES APPEAL
FOR ARMENIA
Red Gross Committee Re
quests u. S. to Rescue 1t
From the Turks

Geneva. Switzerland. Dec. 1.-THE
Information Committee of the Red
Cross has sent to President Wilson
and to the people OF the United
States an appeal to rescue Armenia
from extinction at the hands OF the
Turks. The plea is signed by
Edouard Naville, president of the
committee, who has asked that it be
given widesp pread distribution
throughout the United States. In
Ivoking the aid of America, the In
ternational Committee disavows any
political interest and asserts that 1t
is moved only by humanity and pity.
In part the message says:
During the war it seemed to the
Armenians that the day of deliver
ance was dawning. How different
is the situation now! Armenia
seems to be forgotten; the Turkish
army is reconstructed; the greatest
part of the country which had been
liberated is now occupied again; the
Armenians cannot return to their
homes from which they had been
driven by violence; thousands of
them are still fugitives and have
found n temporary asylum where
they live a life OF misery under the
constant threat of renewed massa-
cres.
Future Seems Dark
Unless the Allied powers step in
and resolutely take up the cause of
the Armenians, their future is not
mere return under Turkish domi-
nation; it is the completion of the
work of destruction which has al
ready been carried on with such ap-
palling results. Armenia will no
more exist; it will be wiped away
from the concert of Christian ma
tions.
I'm this dreadful conjuncture, the
Armenians stretch toward America
thelr bleeding hands. They know
that America alone can save them
ana they entreat us to join our voice
to their ardent cry for help.
I'VE therefore appeal to the feel
ings OF generosity and justice of the
American nation. Is the day in
which other peoples joyfully hoist
the flag of liberty to be, on the con-
trary, the day in which Armenia is
laid IN her grave and her tomb
sealed forever? We do not believe
that America can remain Indifferent
TO such a revolving injustice or that
the cry OF despair of the Armenians
VIII not be re-echoed in many
American hearts and homes.
once more let America come for
ward for the cause of Justice and
humanity and rescue a diving ma ton
from a certain extinction. This will
be one of the choicest fruits Of
Americas victory"

New "Archy" Shell For
U. S. Complete Success

The Army Recruiting Officer at
Harrisburg tells of a new anti-air-
craft shell, perfected by Lieut. Col.
Wallace l.. Clay, Ordinance Corps,
U. s. Army, which, it is predicted,
will revolutionize aerial warfare.
This missile, which bears the name
of the Spot Light She'll" is one and
one-half inches in diameter, five
inches high. and carries more than
two miles. It's incendiary proper
ties are hidden until it strikes the
aircraft. This s1.ell is so constructed
that 1t does not depend for it's cou-
structive power on the burning of
the gas in the balloon but ignites
the envelope itself. This is accom-
plished by the fact that the nose is
SO arranged that a very light impact
will explode the shell.
A machine stot down with this
missile, although it falls within the
enemy lines, is valueless. since re-
corded observations are destroyed
and salvage value minimiZed
Another feature of the shell is its
safety factor An explosion occur
ring before the shell leaves the gun
causes no damage.
A series of experiments have been
conducted at the Frankford Arsenal,
a marked success. Colonel Clay, the
inventor, is well known in army civ
cles as the inventor of the armor
piercing tracer and armor piercing
incendiary bullet, which was intro
duced in the fall of 1917.
The shell which shot down in
flames the six large observation bal
looms at the proving grounds, Cald-
we'll, n. j., in August last, was
Colonel Clay's new Spot Ligt {

vestigate. among other things, the
profits Of the operators. If these
should be found to be unreaonably
high, the public should receive the
benefit in a decreased price of coal,
after the miners have had their
wages finally adjusted on n fair
basis I understand this plan is ac-
ceptahle to the operators. If the
miners return to work and agree to
this plan "a way would be Immediate
ly opened for permanent settlement.
In the meantime, however, the
operators have posted the advance in
wages proposed by DIR. Garfield, so
that working miners will immedi-
ately receive the benefit of this in
crease. The production of coal now
closely approximates so per cent of
normal and 1 have confidence that
n sufficient number of miners Will
comply with the wishes of their Gov
ernment and respond to the needs
of the people to increase this pro-
duction in the near future to point
which will supply the demand IL
economy and conservation in indus
try are employed.
ANY other plant to reopen nego-
tiations for new wage scale be-
tween the miners and operators
would be futile and would delay
rather than advance production. AS
long as the leaders of the miners
organizations believe that their un-
lawful strike will force the public
into condition of suffering and loss
which will compel further increases
OF wages, continued conferences on
the subject will only result in in
fuencing miners not to return to
work.
The situation calls for the stead
fast support by the public of the
Governments position as announced
by DR.. Garfield. The public should
refuse to be stampeded by theats of
lack of fuel into concessions which
will insure unreasonably high prices
in all comm odities for at least three
