WOMEN RELEASED FROM
 HAREMS ARE DESTITUTE

New York, April 17-Despatches from Constantinople received today by the American committee for Ar menian and Syrian Relief reported that the problem presented by the re- lease of thousands of Christian women and children from Turkish harems in Asia Minor is constantly growing.

Governors Proclamation On

The crucifixion of Armenia is the
saddest story of a race in human his
tory For a thousand years the Mos
lens have held these suffering people
in bondage. Not merely thousands,
but hundreds of thousands of them
have been tortured 70 death in the
most terrible fashion by the Turks,
with the approval and in some cases,
the active support of Germany. Yet
through it all, the Armenians have re-
fused to be subjugaIed or to give up
their national ideals or Christian re-
ligion.
Just now, as a direct result of the
war which Germany forced onto the
world, and into which the Armenians
were dragged as the helpless victims
of the Turks they are on the verge of
extinction through complete starva-

ROOSEVELT

The country was greatly surprised
Monday when word anne that Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt had died Monday
morning at his home at Oyster Bay
The immediate cause of his death was
a clot formation on his lung.
In the death of Colonel Roosevelt
the country loses one OF its greatest
men, a most unique figure in public
life, and a great political leader.
Col. R~oosevelt's career has been ar
interesting and strenuous one. Call
ed to the White House after Mr.. Kin
ley's assassination, he served three
years ad was then elected president
In 1904 by the largest majority a pres
ident ever received.
Always a political leader he broke
with his political successor, William
Taft, and Joined the new Progress
sive" party. This rift in the republic
car ranks resulted in Woodrow Will
sons election.
The Rough Riders" who won such
fame in the Spanish-American war,
were organized by Roosevelt. Upon
entry of the United States into the
war. ths Colonel offered to establish
a division composed OF his rough rid
ers for overseas duties. but permission
for this project was refused him.
He was a staunch %upholder and
campaigner for Charles K. Hughes, in
the last presidential campaign. How
ever, when America entered the world
war, Roosevelt bitterly assailed all
pro-Germans and pacifsts, and be-
came e strong supporter of the presi-
dent.
A leader and a patriot to the end,
the United States has lost one of its
greatest and truest men.
