Armenian Persecution
Still Going On

A cable report on April II indi-
Gates that the determination of the
Mohammedan to wipe out Christians
in the Near East has not been aban-
doned with the termination of the
war. At Cairo, Egypt, on April IL,
rioters hunted through the houses
seeking Armenians to kill. A great
many were murdered in cold-blood.
Doubtless some of these were refu-
gees from the stricken areas of Asia
Minor, and this hatred of them be-
cause they are Christians is but one
more reason why we. as Christians,
should do everything in our power to
alleviate the awful condition of
those who have fled to the desert and
other uninha bitable places to escape
slaughter.
The world war will not be won un-
til Christianity has been established.
The best and surest way to establish
Christianity throughout the entire
world is. to conduct ourselves in a
Christian manner, and to conduct
ourselves in Christion manner we
must be sympathetic, charitable and
helpful to those who are in distress.
The relief funds for the rehabilita-
tion of the Armenians, Syrians and
other peoples of the Near East have
been ompletely raised. Various
causes have contributed to the delay.
Many of these causes are now re-

ican should feel it a privilege to do
his or her part. Send your contribu-
tion to your local Chairman or to

Victory Boys and Girls
to Collect Pledges

New Orleans, La, April t6.-That
the successful collection of United
WAR Work pledges is up to the Vic
tory Boys and Girls was the state
ment made by McAllister D. Price.
Southern Department Director of
Collections, who was in New Orleans
recently conferring with local COL
lection officials.
1t has been found that in most
cases where collections are slack it
can be traced to the fact that the
boys and girls are not coming up as
they should and are not redeeming
their pledges. Parents who have con-
tributed literally to the United War
Work campaign have in some cases
let the children renig in their prom
ise to give to the welfare organiza-
tions, possibly feeling that their con-
tributions had been sufficient, and
Mr. Price holds that this has bad
moral effect on the child and, aside
from that. is injuringJhe good name
and prestige of Louisiana.
Leaders express the hope that pa
rents realize the extent Of injury
they are doing their children by not
encouraging them to redeem their
pledges and will explain to them the
cause in which they are giving that

Legion Being Organized d

New Orleans, La. April l6-Or.
ganization of an American Legion
unit for Louisiana was begun recent
ly with a mass meeting here of all
white veterans of the World War
including those who served in the
military or naval services both here
and overseas. Capt William Allen
Cook. appointed temporary state
chairman by the national committee
headed by Lieut. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. was indorsed by the meet
ing here as temporary chairman of
the Louisiana unit of the American
Legion.
The legion in Louisiana is being
organized on a hon-partisan basis and
according to the organizers is not to
be a political party, though of course
it will strongly influence politics.
At an early date, as soon as COM
mittee of five has been appointed, the
question of statewide organization
will be taken up. At present it is
planned to have centers in the larger
cities of the states where "dugouts,' y

A meeting for national organization
will be held in St. Louis in May and

FED.
1t is exactly GA years since the
Turk drove out the Christians and
took possession Of Jerusalem, after
! it had been taken by Frederick III,
March II, 1929, who crowned himself
king of the Latin kingdom, in imi-
tation of that earlier king of Jeruss-
lem, Godfrey of Bouillon (lO09).
Land of Pilgrimage
Palestine had been assigned to the
Emperor of the East in 305 A. D..
and was nominally Christian at that
time, when pilgrimage to the Holy
Land became almost a cult and the
finding of relics became a regular
pursuit in all the places identified
with the life of Jesus.
This was the period that might al.
most be termed the Christianizing of
Palestine, for Christianity had devel-
oped far more vigorously at Rome
and in other parts of the Roman EN-.
pire than in the Holy Land itself, up
to this time. Constantine had made
it the state religion and Helena had
found the True Cross" SO that there
was a great stirring of interest
throughout the land Many fine
churches were built, and Justinian
erected the Golden Gate and part Of
a great church. now the Ell Aksa mos
que (527-565).
Christians Prosecuted

of Persia, made his great inroad, per-
scouting the Christians wherever he
found them, especially in what is
now Armenia, and capturing Jerusa-
lem. The Emperor Heraclius man.
aged to- regain control (62o), but he
had to yield before the might of the
Caliph Omar (637), who erected ma
ny great structures, especially the
mosque called after. him, upon the
great rock which had been the site
of the temple Of Solomon.
For more than 400 years the Mo-
hammedans held sway, until as re-
suit of the Crusades Godfrey of Bout
illon took possession in 1899. The
Christian powers could not, however,
hold possession, for they were al
ways fighting among themselves, and
so Saladin, the mighty leader of the
Moslems, gained permanent hold
over the land of Palestine and Je-
in 1887. >
1t was during the next century that
the Christians under the leadership
of Frederick II gained possession of
Palestine for the last time, until our
own day. But with dissension among
he Christians of that time it was
lot difficult for the Turks to regain
control in l244 and retain it ever
lnce, in one form or another.
Surrender of Jerusalem
The surrender of Jerusalem to the
british forces last December and the
ubsequent conquest of much of the
est of the land now establishes
control, at least for the
resent, and the doubt has been rais-
d whether any Christian power,
ven Germany, will dare to suggest

FROM BEGINNING OF TIME
Origin of Atmosphere Goes Back to
Events Occurring Tens of Mil
lions Of Years Ago.

If we recall the teaching of geology
and astronomy, telling us how the
earth was once too hot to sustain life,
we shall see that the mixture of gases
that covers the solid surface Of the
earth, and that we familiarly call air,
must have had very interesting his
tory. According to one widely accept.
ed theory of the earth's origin, all
that we know now as the solid earth,
and all the liquid matter that now
fills the ocean beds was once gas
eous. The gases Of the atmosphere
are simply composed Of these particu-
lar elements which are gaseous at
the present temperature of the
earth's surface, which have not en-
tered into complete combination with
the solid matter Of the earth's crust,
and which have not been whisked
away into space by centrifugal force,
this being the fate that is supposed
to have befallen the former atmosphere
of the moon, and some of the lighter
constituents of our own atmosphere.
In the past when the earths temper
ature was much higher, and when
many other conditions were different.
1t Is more than probable, for instance.
that, long before man appeared, the
proportion Of carbon dioxide in the air
was much higher than at present. This
would account for the extreme lux
urlance of vegetation, to which
every lump of coal bears witness, the
carbOnc acid Of the air being one of
the most important constituents Of the
food Of plants. Again, It Is quite GER
tain that, at very much more remote
period, which must certainly date
back tens of millions of years, the
temperature of the earth's surface
was SO hot that water could not oc-
cur In its liquid form. At that time
one Of the most important and abun-
dant constituents of the earth's at
mosphere was gaseous water or water
vapOr.

NOTHING LEFT TO CHANCE
Advance of American Divisions at San

Elaborate Care.

In modern warfare mans head is

st. Mihiel salient. encompassing 152
square miles of territory and 73 vii.

Did you know II was done by head
work? Elaborate plans were made In
advance and given out wholesale to
the troops. One hundred thousand
maps. covering minute details of the
country. including natural defenses,
and how II was manned by the enemy,
were distributed plus 10000 photo
graphs. scattered among officers of the
artillery and infantry. Five thousand
miles of telephone wire and 6.O0O In.
struments were employed, and this
elaborate system kept up with the ad
vance Of the army. BY this service
fanking troops could telephone their
position back to the artillery. The tel.
ephone business of city of 100000
could have been handled by this equip
ment in whose operation 10000 men
were engaged. Thousands of carrier
pigeons aided the signal corps. Ex-
tensive hospital facilities, 1890 trucks.
miles Of railroad, were provided for
this big military operation, and 10000
feet Of movie film were exposed, so all
the soldiers had to do was to fight.
