LONDON, England. December l.
One of the most interesting social
phenomena of the moment in Great
Britain is the growing sense of the
middle classes that they must wake
up and do something to protect them
selves or face disaster. Thousands
of persons are enrolling in the mid
die classes union" an organization
born of the recent industrial strife in
this country. branches of this union
are being formed at such Il rate that
the general secretary is unable to
keep up with the increase in the
mem bership. Kennedy Jones. NJ. p. is
man who believes the movement
has big future.
Many of us he said today. have
difficulty in defining the middle
classes. To my mind they are all the
unorganiZed citizens between the fed
Grated manual workers on the one
hand and the smaller but equally pow
erful class representing organized
capital on the other. Middle class
men work with their heads rather
than with their hands-profesSional
men. shopkeeperS, clerks and those
who manage or help to manage in
dustries and business of all sorts To
these classes belong the soldier, sail

MAY USE AIRPLANES
FOR SURVEY OF AMAZON
Brazil to Follow Methods Now in
Use by French to Explode
River Routes.

PARA. Brazil. November (Cerre-
Spondence of the Associated Press).- -
Airplanes may be employed to map
the valley of the great Amazon river.
If the French are successful in their
effort to use aircraft for surveying
the routes of the rivers of French
Guiana ii is understood the Brazilian
government will apply the same
method to the survey of the Amazon
and its aff1uents. A French company
is said to have been formed in Cay
enne, with hangers on the Maroni
river. and French aviators with ty-
ing experience gained in the war are
being employed 10 run the twenty
five hydro -airplanes said to have been
furnished by the government.
In addition to. making maps the
machines will be employed for carry
ing valuable freight, mails and pas
sengerS. There are immense rivers
in French Guiana which. because of
the presence of many rapids. are now
only navigable in canoes, which take
weeks to transport freight over dis
tances which the hydro airplanes can
cover in as many hours. with always
large stretches of smooth water offer
ing a suitable surface for landings
and "take-offs."
The freight charges are said to be
high. and the traffic is expected to
consist mainly of gold. balato and es-
sence of rosewood. which are the
principal exports of the colony. The
passenger business is not expected to
be heavy.
These hydro airplanes will also be
used for prospecting the forests for
balato trees, which grow in groups,
SO that the foliage can, it is said, be
readily distinguished by aviators fly
ing low over the tops of the forest
trees. In the past the securing OF
fresh sources of balato has been
work of much danger and difhcuity,
Specially trained balato workers. well
armed, travelling in bands of fifteen
or twenty, have been employed to ex-
plore the forests, and they had to
carry with them supplies to cover
many months.

lNVOKES AMERICAN AID
IN SAVING ARMENIANS
Red Cross Committee Petitions the
President and People of q, S. to
Protect Them From Turks.

GENEVA. Switzerland. November
ii Correspondence of the Associated
Press).-The international committee
of the Red Cross has sent to Presi-
dent Wilson and to the people Of the
United States an appeal to rescue Ar
menia from extinction at the hands
Of the Turks. The plea is signed by
Edouard Naville, president of the COM
mittee, who has asked that it be given
widespread distribution throughout
the United States. Invoking the aid
of America. the international commit
tee disavows any political interest
and asserts that it is moved only by
humanity and pity. In part the mas
sage 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
reconstituted: the greatest part of
the country which had been liberated
is now occupied again: the Armeni-
ans cannot return to their homes from
which they had been driven by vic;
lence: thousands of them are still
fugitives and have found a temporary
asylum where they live life of
misery under the constant threat of
renewed massacres.
UNLESS the allied powers step in
the ArmenianS their future is not a
mere return under Turkish domina-
ton: it is the completion of the work
of destruction which has already been
carried on with such appalling re-
suits. Armenia will no more exist; it
will be wiped away from the concert
of Christian nations.
I'm this dreadful conjecture the Ar
menians stretch toward America their
bleeding hands. They know that
America alone can save them and
they entreat US to join our voice to
their ardent cry for help.
I'VE therefore appeal to the feelings
of generosity and justice of the Amer
lean nation. Is the day in which other
peoples joyfully hoist the flag of lib
erty to be, on the contrary. 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 in
justice or that the cry of despair of
the ArmenianS will not be re-echoed
in many American hearts and homes.
Once more let America come for
ward for the cause of justice and hui
manity and rescue dying nation
from Il certain extinction This will
be one of the choicest fruits of Amer
teas. victory"
