Important to Mothera
At Least He Was There.

When he was minister of the In.
terror in the Sarrien cabinet, M. Glenn
eiceau. prescribed for the function
aries of his department precise office
hours which were to be vigorously
observed. One day, early in the af-
ternoon, he called his bureau chief,
Mr.. Winter, and said:
Let us take a turn in the bureaus"
Obviously his command had had lit
tie effect. Office after office was
found, empty. AT last, in a nook I'M
der the roof, they came upon poor
devil of clerk who, overcome by the
heat, had fallen asleep at his desk.
Mr.. Winter sprang forward to shake
and rouse him. but Mr.. Clemenceau
checked, him:
"Sapristi! But, no! Don't waken
him, tor he, too, may run away!"

Once the Russian created a sensation
by gathering up his papers and start

other time Disrueli startled the dele
gates by ordering Il special train to
take him TO Calais. When the Cyprus
convention came TO light the diplomats
felt that Disraeli had tricked them.
That night he attended a reception.
As he entered a silence fell upon the
angry buzzing Of the assembled states

"Of what are you thinking?" asked
the Princess Radziwill."

The treaty as finally signed by the
congress provided that Bulgaria should
not extend south of the Balkans and
the military occupation of Russia was
reduced to nine months. The new
state remained under the suzerainty
of Turkey. Eastern Roumelia was
given autonomy under the sultan.
Montenegro lost half the gains of ter
ritory promised her. but received a port
on the Adriatic. Serbia was extended
at the expense of Bulgaria. Russia
kept Bartum and Kars. Bosnia and
Herzegovina were to be occupied by
Austria indefinitely. Rouumania and
Serbia were granted complete indie
pendence, but the arrangement of San
Stefano with regard to Bessarabia and
the DObruja stood.

Delegates Of Russia, France and
England met in London and, on July
81, 1927, signed convention which
established, on paper. kingdom Of
Greece. In August the fleets of Eng
land, France and Russia blockaded the
Turco-Egyptian feet Of over 80 men,
ofwar, lying in the harbor Of Nava-
rinO. On October 26 the allied fleets
entered the harbor, and, after battle
of five hours. totally destroyed
the Turco-Egyptian fleet. Strangely
enough, neither France, Russia nor
England had yet declared war against
Turkey, which stir claimed Greece as
a Turkish province, in spite of the con-
ventiOn of London. The sultan, natur.
ally enough, ENGAGED at the battle of
Navarino, declared all treaties at an
end. and the ambassadors Of the three
powers left Constantinpple. Russia
declared war against T6fkey in April
of 1923. A French army occupied the
Morea, but otherwise England and
France remained idle spectators of the
war which ensued. ~

HOOVER DECLARES PRIVATE
BENEVOLENCE NEEDED TO SAVE
PEOPLE OF NEAR EAST.

Herbert Hoover has cabled the
American Committee for Relief in the
Near East, through the food admins
tration, Washington, that, while the
bulk of the relief work to be done will
be financed by the countries affected,
through the medium of loans OF other
government assistance, nevertheless
distress and suffering exists in many
acres where payment for relief sup
plies cannot be made. These charity
cases will still urgently need private
benevolence.
"This is the situation with regard TO
the Armenians, Syrians and Perslans,
continues Hoover's cablegran1. There
is probably no greater suffering To-Day
than among the prosecuted peoples Oh
Asia Minor who have no other FUNDS
and cannot secure government loans
and have no other credit.
The world recognition given the
American Committee for Relief In the
Near East follows naturally upon the
procIamations of President Wilson and
the announcements of the Secretary
of State and other high officials, recog'
nizing it's work officially and calling
upon the people of the United States
to give generously to it's fund during
it's $50 100000 drive. The campaign 70

AMERICANS SLAIN IN
MEXICO, IS REPORT
Washington Hears Rumor; Probe
by Congress Demanded.
BANDITS MUST BE PUNISHED
Cash VIII Not Be Accepted as Com
pensation, Says Congressman Por-
ter of Pennsylvania, Who Has
Charge of Matter in House.

Washington, Jan. 20.-'If reports Of
the murderer American citizens in the
Tampico Oil fields are true, some action
must be taken by this country to bring
the Mexican government to book" de-
clared Representative Stephen q. Por-
ter Of Pennsylvania.
Representative Porter is ranking mi
nority member of the house commit
tee on foreign relations, and will be
chairman in the next congress.
Congressional interest in the MeXi-
can situation has been intensified by
news that has come to senators and rep
resentatives that considerable num-
Der of employees, some Of them Ameri-
cans, in the Tampico fields, which are
controlled by American and British
companies, have been murdered during
the past year.
Overlooked During War.
These killings appear to have had
no publicity because the attention Of
the world has been conferred upon the
war.
A movement is under way in con-
gress for the collection of American
claims in Mexico, and there have been
many expressions Of resentment at
the proposal embodied in the new
Mexican constitution for the confisca-
ton Of American properties.
But reports that American citizens
have been murdered in cold blood
by Mexican bandits who have gone
UNPUBLISHED have incensed members Of
congress and the sentiment for dras-
tic action is rapidly crystallizing.
Representative Porter said:
ut is bad enough for property to be
damaged and confscated, but claims
for property damages are always sus-
ceptible to settlement with money.
"But money will not settle claims
for loss of life. There may be pay
ments in satisfaction of such claims,
but they do not wipe off the slate
clean.
eff American citizens have been
shot down in Mexico as is alleged, we
should demand and insist upon the
apprehension and punishment of those
guilty and assurance that there will
be no repetition of the crimes.
Will Ask U. S. Inquiry.
Mexican citizens are guaranteed
full protection of the law in the Uni
ted States, and we must demand the
same protection for American citizens
in Mexico.
Il am Informed that about half d
dozen Americans were victims of bru-
tai murders in the Tampico oil fields
during 1913. A reputable oil journal
has made a compilation Of these facts
and vouches for them, it is said.
Il propose to make inquiry into the
statements, and if they are substanti-
ated, it is my purpose to lay the mat
ter before congress and ask that our
government institute an official inves-
tigation.''

THIS WAS ALL THAT ORPHANED
ARMENlANS COULD SAY.

for Dying Mother.

Declaring that he believed the
American people could not and would
not permit the cradle of the white
mans civilization to perish, c.. V.
Vickery, secretary of the American
Committee for Relief in the Near East
formerly Armenian and Syrian Re-
ief), expresses confidence that the
committees need of $30,000,00O for re-
lief work among the poverty-stricken
and starving Armenians and others,
in the Near East would be fully real
lied and the nations quota would be
subscribed
Mr. Vickery pointed out the dire
need of orphanages for the children of
Armenia and other sections of the OF
toman Empire, orphaned by the whole
sale murder of their parents by the
Turks, by citing one of the many
touching incidents that come to the
committee from American missionar-
les and it's relief workers in the Near
East He emphasized that 100000
of the $30,000,OOO to be raised in this
country during the Armenian cam
paign week will be devoted to the
building of orphanages for the strick.

eco, run for your lives and God bless
you,' was the warning prayer of their
sister when she sent them away while
she remained behind with their dying
mother.
For two weeks, the little brothers
had fled from the Turks as their sis
ter babe them, hiding by day and run
ming by night. At last they reached
the dugout which had been made by
soldiers of one of the armies fighting
in that country and there the little
boys were found by a passing Amer
lean missionary.
All the food, they had during their
flight was roots, berries and grass. In
a pitiable condition, they were taken
to an orphanage, established by the
American Committee for Armenian
and Syrian Relief from funds contrib
uted by the American people. Here
they are being cared for, with 500
other child refugees.

cided that the commerce act as amend
ed in 1910 did not prohibit the free
exchange of utility service between
telegraph and telephone companies
and railroad companies, even where
service from one line to points on an
other was involved. The decision sus-
tanned action of the lower court in

paid for by each party on the basis of

WISCONSIN NOTABLES
IN RELIEF CAMPAIGN

What will be the strongest commit
Wisconsin campaign is in charge of
the Wisconsin drive for relief for the
Armenian and Syrian refugees. The
committee is from all parts Of the
state, and will push the work of secur-
ing 100000 assigned to this state as
it's share of Americas $3O,0O0,O0O to
save live sufferers in the Near East.
The committee is headed by HI. A.
Moehlenpah as chairman, Walter j.
hasten, treasurer, and w. f. Nc
Caughey as director. The committee
members are:
Chief Justice J. SB. Winslow, Madi-
son.
T. J. Roth, Superior.
George B. Wheeler, Eau Claire.
J. N. Mansen, Wausau.
J. H. Taylor, Green Bay.

Judge J. B. Quinlan, Marinette.
J. M. Whitehead, GAINESVILLE.
Solomon Levitan, Madison.
J. M. Callahan, Milwaukee.
F. J. Sensenbrenner, Neenah.
A striking phase of the condition OF
the refugees of the Near East is not
alone that they have been victims OF
the progress of the war, through the
devastation of their home soil, but
particularly in the case of the Arme-
mans it has developed into religious
war, with the Turks carrying out
determined effort to wipe out this
race.
1t is the brutality of this campaign,
unheard of in it's horribly murderous
phases that has swept the American
people, without regard for race or
creed, into the campaign to prevent
this annihilation Of a race by proVid.
ing the sufferers with food before it
is too late, and before starvation has
wiped out the last remnants OF ma
ton.
