ARMENIAN RELIEF
Americanization Of the Near East,
An Address by Andrew Nicola at
the Augusta State House


The soul of America. rising in her
youth into fuller maturity and more
perfect growth, like the morning sun
spread its animating rays facing the
boundless West until she brichtened
| the East. which was the very source
, OF the principles of democracy and
the fountain Of her civilization. and
the birthplace of the ideals Of her
glory.
The first American pioneers to the
Near East embodied that brilliant re-
ligious character which Illuminated
their way into the very hearts OF
those ever religious Nations: men
like Livingston. Van Dyke, Calhoon.
Elias Smith. the Jessups. and Rlisses.
America has sacrificed lives Of such
men. and several others Of her re-
iigious youth. that volunteered to en-
tighten. culture and enrich the Near
! East. whose graves are monuments in
: the different towns Of the Near F:a st

natives Of today
From the sparks Of religion. con-
Quoted by the American missionary.
lights OF education were kindlcd by
the American teacher an, around
those central lights the Eastern mod
err civilization established its tents.
, which grew into towns and cities OF
the greatest moral and economical
values to the world Of today.
Therefore. America established her
self first in the hearts Of the people of
the Near East, then cnshrined herself
| in the enlightened minds of the new
generation. through that immortal
subtle system of education. Thus,
: making her position invincible in the
face of any possible invasion, and
against which no power can prevail
in the minds or hearts of the modern
Armenian and Syrian. In so much
that many a Syrian had often sworn
| by the beard Of Mr.. Blake. an Ameri-
can missionary. with the same SOL
emnity as swearing by the beard of
the prophet Mohamed.
Thus the American democracy was
rightly introduced and permanently
established in the Near East. in its
pure form, as christianity adopted
and applied to the needs of man.
/ The spirit of this democracy is the
soul Of Columbia. which now had
crossed the ocean with her bright
stars and broad stripes to illuminate
and liberate the world. Columbia
shall never retreat.

FocH TAKING VACATION
First Holiday in Five Years for
Famous General.

Paris. Sept. S.-MarshaI F'och is
enjoying the first holiday he has had
in five years On his estate at Morlaix,
near Brest, the Generalissimo of the
Allied armies is living the simple life,
dressed in loose tweeds and wearing
"a cap, only retaining his leather leg
gings as a reminder of his uniform.
The Marshal is a great lover of
hunting and partridges are thick in
the woods of Brittany. But the Mar
shall disconsolately watches them flut.
ter about with impunity II will not
be open season for hunting in France
until September Is. 1t was open sea
son for the enemy for five years and
the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied
armies never missed day Some
newspapers are asking that an eXcep-
ton be made in favor of Foch, one
of them adding naively that 'as he
has rendered slight service to his
country. in ridding it of the Germans
he might be allowed to deprive its
woods of a few partridges.'
When it became known that Foch
was going to Morlaix, the Mayor and
City Councillors at once made elabor-
ate plans for the reception. They as
sembled at the house of the Mayor
and commenced marching down the
station when some one remarked that
the hour at which the train was due
had passed.
ut matters not" said the Mayor,
that Brest train is never on time"
They arrived, at the station, how
ever, to find that the train actually
had come and gone for twenty-five
minutes. For once it had been on
schedule time. General Foch was
aboard and he never brooks delay.
And now Minister of Railways Cla-
veille has lost few votes in Morlaix
for doing his work too we'll.

!. o. o. F. BAND HAVE OUTING
It Takes Camping Trip to Lake
Cossayuna

The Odd Fellows band returned
Sunday evening from its outing at
Lake Cossayuna, somewhat tired and
sleepy. but well-pleased with its first
attempt at camping out. Most Of the
outfit arrived at the lake before eight
O'Clock Saturday evening having sus-
tanned no injuries more serious than
having one of the trucks containing
the camp supplies put out OF commits
sion thus delaying supper few hours.
The band journeyed over to West
Hebron and gave a concert for the
benefit of the public library of that
place A large crowd was present, CIV
ing enthusiastic applause to every
number rendered. A bountiful supply
of sandwiches, cake and coffee was
served the musicians. then lriofe and
still more were urged upon them. AT
ter three lusty cheers from the crowd
were given the band, the latter rode
away feeling that West Hebron peo-
pie are grand hosts and enthusiastic
in their appreciation of the efforts of
a band far from home.
The route back to the lake was long
er than that over, due to getting on
the wrong road; but the driver was
soon in possession of his bearings
through the terse instruction OF a
motorist to take your first right, your
first left, your first right, your first
left, then straight ahead"
Tom Toomey had supper waiting
upon the return to the lake; then 1t
was a question of "to sleep or not to
sleep" 1t proved to be mostly mot.
Sunday was spent quietly in eating,
re wing bathing and eating. Toomey's
excellent work as chef was largely res
ponsible for the first and last mention
ed activities.
The journey back to Bennington in
the late afternoon was without spec
ial incident; but the pleasure Ct the
entire trip had been sufficient to in
duce a vote for another outing of a
similar nature next summer. if'
