LONDON TAXI
 MEN SUPREME

London, June 27-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press)-The taxi cab driver is the best-hated man in London. All through the war he ruled the taxi-riding public with an iron hand and his sway, owing to the continued shortage of cabs, probably will have to be endured for many more months.
 You may ride in taxi cab here only if the driver finds that your des- tination suits his own convenience. His decision will be influenced by his quick prognosis of the amount of the tip your appearance and manner in dicate. If you look like "close up" you will save time by joining a queue for a bus or throwing yourself into the maelstrom of a tubecrowd, for it is certain you won't ride in a taxi-cab.
 Any man bold enough to challenge the lofty authority of a taxicab driver wins instant popularity and draws about him a throng of admirers. So there were loud cheers and a rush for the spot when a passenger the other day dove into an empty taxi cab passing through the Strand and refused the drivers demand that he get out. The driver stopped his cab and refused to budge.
 Drive me to Liverpool street. You can't refuse a fare" said the passen- ger.
 Cant I? Get out of my cab," re- torted the driver.
 A policeman pushed his way through the crowd, with What's all this?'
 He refuses to get out of my cab" He refuses to drive me-" was the shouted chorus of driver and fare.
 The policeman began to make notes. Do you wish to prosecute ?" he asked the passenger.
 "No, I want to get to Liverpool street." was the mild reply.
 "stick to it!" the spectators urged the passenger.
 The crowd soon blocked the street. The driver leaned unconcernedly against the mudguard of his cab and lighted a cigarette. The fare reclined against the cushions. This continued for 20 minutes The crowd began betting on the outcome. Odds were offered on the driver.
 Well" said the passenger at last, ratfer weakly, T think I've taught you a lesson"
 Not going, are your" sneered the driver.
 Unfortunately, I have an appoint ment," the fare said to the crowd as he alighted, trying to cover his re- treat.
 The taxicab driver took his seat triumphantly and with mocking toot of his horn drove away. He still was king.

ARMENIANS ARE
 STILL STARVING

London. June .---(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) - 'I have seen towns where there were 1000 refugees losing 1000 of them month ly through starvation. I have seen town thirty miles from the railroad reduced by starvation from a popuIa- tion of 4,000 to 2,000 in ten days''
 That is what is happening in Ar menia, according to Lieutenant Mel vile Chapter of the American Red Cross. who has arrived in London after an extensive tour of the Near East.
 Conditions there, he told The Asso- c1ated Press representative, are simply appalling. The people are in rags. Disease, no less than starva- tion, is taking a heavy toll, and it is

AlORAlONIsM.

The prophet" founder and first president of the Mormon Church, Jo- seph Smith, was assassinated 75 years ago today. Mormorism was founded by Smith at Fayette, Seneca county, N. r., in 1880. Smith alleged that he had been inspired by an angel to dig up golden plates on which the records of Mormon were alleged to be inscribed. In 1881 Smith and sev- eral hundred followers removed to Ohio. and little later they. founded a settlement in Missouri. They were driven out of that state. and went to Illinois, where they founded the "holy city" of Nauvoo. A newspaper of the town printed an alleged ex- posture of Smith, and tie plant and the newspaper were destroyed. Smith was blamed for this. and, after de- lying the militia for a time. Smith and his brother Hiram were arrested and lodged in jail at Carthage. On the night of June 27, 1844, a mob at- tackled the jail, overpowered the guard, and shot the prophet" and bis brothers Brigham Young suc- ceeded to the leadership and led the Mormons across the prairies and to the promised land'
 around Great Salt Lake.

The American Committee for Re- lief in the Near East is making every effort, according to Lieutenant Chatter to succor the starving Armenians. From February to April 1, with the aid of the American Red Cross, it put into the country $500 tons of flour. Distribution is a difficult problem. Food is carried to interior points by native bullock carts.
 While the Erivan Republic Is starv- ing, it's neighbor Georgia is thriving. Throughout the country Lieutenant Chatter said he saw fine grazing lands and large herds and flocks. The GeorgianS were not molested by the Turks and the country has had to deal with few Armenian refue aes eX- cept those at Tiflis, to which city Turkish Arm enians have fled since 1915 Tens of thousands of Armenian orphans are now there.
 ''The Armenians are praying for an American mandatory. They think they would never be free under any other government" said Lieutenant Chatter.
