Turkish Captive
Speaks for Arne-
nian Relief
Miss Ellen Stone Here Thursday
Night
Tells First-Hand Story of
Turkish Atrocities

A vivid account of the persecu-
tion of the Armenians by the Turks
and an eloquent plea for the relief
of these benighted people was pre-
sented on Thursday evening to the
students of Women's College and
to few of the townspeople who
braved the terrific storm to her
Miss Ellen Stone.
This youthful old lady of 70
eventful years spent in the service
of humanity reviewed Americas
policy early in the past century,
which she characterized as an
abuse of the Monroe Doctrine in
using our geographic position as a
barrier to shut out the vision of
suffering weaker nations. Gradu-
ally the policy of isolation was
abandoned when America became
the champion Of the Cubans and
the Filipinos. Now the policy of
selfish alooftness is a thing of the
past as has been demonstrated in
full measure since the beginning
of the World War.
She reviewed in detail the ex-
ploitation of the weaker nations
by the greater powers and explain
nd whI- president Wilson is such

an ardent champion u "a. = =
states.
The great need of the day, she
said, is to help the millions of
starving Armenians who are look
ing with hopeful eyes to America
who out of great abundance is able
and willing to help the oppressed.
She commended the generosity of
the Americans and in support of
the statement that Americans love
to give, told of the wonderful re-
sponse of theatre and moving pic
ture audiences and the respectful
hearing accorded solicitors by the
management of these places of
amusement. She praised, likewise,
the self-sacrifice and generosity of
those who are collecting for the
cause, and paid eloquent tribute to
the Whole-souled activities of those
who are working on the commit
tees. Cleveland H. Dodge, who
heads the movement has contribute
ed million dollars to the cause
and others of the committee have
contributed literally and have
guaranteed full payment of all ex-
penses. Every cent contributed
therefore will go directly to the
suffering Armenians and those who
contribute to the support of Ar
menian children are assured that
every cent goes for that purpose.
During the course of her des-
cription of Armenian oppression
under Turkish rule, she was asked
by one of the audience to tell of
her own experience as a captive
held for ransom by the Turks. This
dramatic episode of Miss Stones
career as missionary she told re-
luctantly, because the incident
she said, was past history. The
splendid courage of the woman, her
tact and resourcefulness. her low
atty to the cause were revealed nm

MUNICIPAL CLINIC
IN new YORK SAVES
Many DRUG ADD|CTS
BY w. R. Hargraves

! New York, Oct. 11.-Wizened youths,
men and women cluster outside q long,
rambling, corrugated iron building ON
one of the downtown side streets each
morning. Their gaunt faces and star
i ing eyes, however, are not caused by
hunger for food.
They are hungry for drugs. Nervous

lack Of physical repose in any muscle
of the bodies speak their craving for
some narcotic.
And their sufferings are being as
suaged by the government Of the City
Iof New York. Through this relief the
city is at the same time, and for the
first time in municipal history, bring

menace, heretofore unchecked.
Most remarkable cures, according to
leading physicians, are being effected at
the clinic, through simple reduction
dose. Nearly 1000 are treated free each
day. But day by day, since the insti-
tuition wSs opened, the number is con-
stantly diminishing, according to the at
PENDANTS.
Some of the men and women had pre-
viously used as high as 25 grains of
heroin a day, DR.. Royal r. Copeland, of
the health department said. Each day
the dose is reduced quarter Of a grain
until finally only two or three grains
are required to give the addict relief.
When that period arrives, the patient

SALEM REQUESTED
TO SUPPORT LOCAL
boy SCOUT DRIVE


In connection with the campaign of
the Boy Scouts to raise its member
ship in Salem from l25 to 450 dultng
the winter, Scout Executive Harold l..
Cook, Saturday, issued the following
statement:
To the people:--In these days when
every organization of merit is receiving
the best support of the people, it
comes to mind that the organization that
probably did more to win the war than
any organization this side of the Att
lantic, excepting the Red Cross, and
whose work is still going on in the
quiet skillful manner in, which it has
always been presented, is receiving less
attention and support from the people
as whole than it possibly deserves. Is
is well understood by those connected
with the Boy Scouts of America that
in most cases this is true because of
the lack of education of the people as
to the principles and purposes of the
movemnt.
The Boy Scouts of America repre-
sent nationwide movement for the
betterment Of the American boy. Edu-
cational in its spirit and purpose, this
movement aims to develop self-reliance,
initiative resourcefulness and the
spirit of service in the growing boy.
The Scout movement appreciates and
understands the sentiments and inter
ests which belong to the boy. These in.
terests are met and satisfied by pro-
gram of activities so varied and so
broad that the true Scout is always
moving forward, becoming keener in
his capacity for observation and edu-
cation and growing stronger as desir-
able habits are woven permanently in
to his character.
Scouting is learning by doing. It pro-
vides a boy with happy and healthy
outlet for his superabundant energies.
1t supplies worthwhile activities for
his out Of school hours. 1t furnishes
suitable leadership under which are
developed the boy Is latent powers, cap
acities and tastes. 1t makes use of uni
versal elemental boy instincts, gang
loyalty, hero worship, pride of ply
steal prowess love ofiadventure and the
great outdoors The activities of scout
ing are almost beyond counting. Yet
there is no confusion in their arrange
#ment and presentation. Each has a
purpose, clear and definite with its
peculiar appeal to the boys mind.

fair-play, cheerfulness, good comrade-
ship, loyalty. Above all it is the spirit
