Armenians Forced to Eat
COrpSeS of Their Dead
SecY. BAKER,

That hunger and destitution in the
Near East has reached the terrible
point where the bodies of the dead
have been exhumed and eaten is the
horrible report made by Howard
Heinz, American food commissioner
in the Near East. He says:
Regarding reports of cannibalism
which have come out of this dis
trict from Goa, have been forced
against my will, to believe these re-
ports to be true I saw, with my
own eyes, mutilated remains of
corpses which have been eXhumed
from newly-made graves. L did not
see anybody who had actually wit
messed the eating of human flesh,
but there is so much circumstantial
evidence of this that l personally
came to believe it true.

Dog Saves Yukon
Hunter MauIed by Bear

Bob Levac has had an escape
from a grizzly bear that all the
Yukon country is talking about.
Levac came around the corner of
a cabin and met bruin face to
face without time to shoot. The
bear reached out and keeled the
1S0-pound Levac over with one
blow of his paw. Levac played
possum and bruin mauled him
about, rolled him over and over
in the snow, nipped him with his
teeth and then picked him up by
the clothing and shook him like
rat.
All this time Levac feigned
death. Levac's dog, watching his
chance, slipped in and snapped at
the heels of the bear until it turn
ed and gave chase. Then Levac
sneaked away to safety, but the
dog was killed. Levac had to trav-
ell twenty miles by dog team to
Mayo to have his injuries dressed.

Whisky Pirates Make, ....
British Public Mad


With the United States going dry
and prohibition forces preparing to
march on the rest Of the world,
whisky dealers in England continue
to antagonize the public and persist
in profiteering. whisky pirates" is
the name they've won for them,
selves. The whisky association IS
threatening to withhold supplies in
anticipation of a budget which will
tax them more heavily and the con-
sumers assert it is being withheld
now, except for eXorbitant prices.
Whisky is now nearly three times
what it was before the war, but the
wholesaler blames the retail trade
for excessive prices. The cost of
bottles and packing and labor IS
pointed as justifying much higher
prices. But whisky bought at 1928
a bottle is selling for $3.50.
