miliar Turkish Armenian type. He in
spires confidence In his statements by a
reserved, firm manner. While not a COM
handing figure, either physically or in
telectually. he seems to do the best he
can for his country, fully realizing the
fragile thread by which it hangs to life.
Regarding the question if Armenia sub
init to be ruled under a blanket man
date, as part of Asia Minor he said.
Whatever America decides is best for
us we will follow out. We are satisfied
America has only our interests at nearI.
However, we believe our frontiers should
be determined now, no matter when we
are set free to walk alone as an indie
pendent state. II Americans will consent
to rule us, to establish order in our
country, to take over the administration
of our affairs, we shall be satisfied. We
love IN this world but three things, free
dom, work and education. When we are
given the chance to earn these we will
show America what we are capable of.
We are now a tottering little government,
we realize that we are weak, that the
fire we have gone through has crippled
us nightly, that the citizens here are
worn out or are not our best material,
but with time we shall improve.
ut must DE recognized that both in
Turkey and in Russia. Armenians have
always furnished a large class of intelli-
gent public officials, bankers, traders and
farmers, and those of us who are LETT

cleus for prosperous state. l have here
a long list of names of those Armenians
in America representing a half billion
dollars capital, who have declared their
intention of returning to live here when
circumstances will permit.
Asked whether, if the United states
took a mandate to Armenia, meaning
thereby practically a military protec-
torate, the Armenians would not soon
be tired of their rulers, who would be
quite different from missionaries, Pre-
mier Khatitian said: There is DIG

OFFERS SERIES OF
INDIAN PAINTINGS

Austin. Tex. November 1.-THE most
remarkable Indian paintings or photo
graphs in the southwest have been Of
fered to state or national authorities
provided the cliffs upon which they are
drawn are enclosed in a park and ade-
quately guarded, according to j. E
Pearce, associate professor of anthropolo-
gy of the University of Texas
These paintings, which are owned by
e. d. Sims of Paint Rock, are located
along the banks of Concho river near
Paint Rock, upon every available surface
for half mile They are in deep red
with an occasional black figure on char
acter.
All phases of the early tribes are repre-
sented, Mr.. Pearce. declares, and so much
valuable historical material is included
in these paintings that Mr.. Pearce will
have them copied in scale for a report
to the Smithsonian institute, for which
he is doing research work.

Br GEORGE T. BYE

London, November 5.-(Reciprocal
News Service. )-Tax-payers at home
shofid slap their legs in glee at this
news: all the supplies and material
belonging to the American expedi-
tionary force in Great Britain have
been resold to the British at price
that will not fall under a half of the
original cost AS these supplies in
Guided used material principally,
American army headquarters in Lon
don is more than pleased at the re-
suits of its liquidation.
Salvage contractors have bought the
bricks and lumber in hospitals and
aerodromes built throughout the Brit
ish Isles for the A. E. f. Automobiles,
trucks and motorcycles have either
reverted to the British government
or been sold to private purchasers at
auction, often selling for more than
cost even after considerable use. The
same is true of typewriters and other
office equipment and the great stores
of engineers supplies at Slough and
Didcot.
American headquarters is winding up
it's work here BY the middle of jan
uary the A. e. f. should be nothing
more than memory in Great Britain.
The staff is down to 80 officers, 20
enlisted men and about 500 British
girl clerks. Headquarters has given
up Golden house. an office building,
and now occupies only the large pri-
waite residence at 35 Eaton place, Bel
gravia. which formerly was the head
quarters of the American aviation sec
ton.
Liquidation began promptly on the
day of the armistice. At that time
f115. 900, 900 - about $4,000, 900 - had
been invested by the American army
in food and supplies in Great Britain.
AS bills were presented they have
been paid promptly by headquarters
here. but each bill has had to be
checked many times to make certain
that the material was ordered and re-
ceived and then to trace delivery so
that the charge of all items against
various army branches could be made

Some of the British were in hut when

Russian missed and was shot down, his
failure revealing plans for general mas

guns upon the British when the trapped

upon the greater part of which, bills
have been checked, approved and pre-

the above, 63 orders were placed with
