Mine experts discovered that huge

near the burning shaft. If the fire

possible.
The tax books this year will not
only call for more money than ever
before, the aggregate being more than
100000, but there will be more items
on it than ever before. There has
been an increase during the year In
the number of parcels Of land assess
ed and a considerable gain in the
number who have been enlisted for
the payment of poll taxes. This has
made the task of the county court
clerk in preparing the book a bigger

case.

DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives of thousands Of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters Of that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks Because of lack of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children In these institu-
lions averaged as high as twenty or
thirty a day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became in
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t is estimated by persons who have
made survey of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care
Near East Relief is the only orsani.
zation now operating In Western Asia
and it is making an appeal 10 save
these Christian children.

ALLENDY STOPS
CRAFT OF TURK.
Persecution Of Armenians and
Confiscation Of Property Pre-
vented by English Officer.

The most arbitrary city boss in the
world, 1t seems safe to say, as well as
the most INSCRIPTIONS politician of
modern times, has turned up in Aintab,
Armenia, to judge from an official re-
port recently made by Major Stephen
Trowbri1ge, under Gen. Edmund II. Ii.
Allenby's orders.
He lisa Turk named Besim Bey. Until
the Near East Relief agents stopped
him, he practiced upon the terrified
Armenians such forms of super-graft
as might well make every other cor
rupt politician in the world green with
envy, and sucn cruelties as make all
other heartless rulers, from Nero
down, seem sweet and gentle char
aeters. His Office was that of Munic-
ipal Chief Accountant of Aintab; but,
as all dishonest office-holders know,
1t, isn't the job that matters, but the
sugar-plums that go with it. Besim
Bey plucked sugar-plums with both
hands, night and day.
I Even inspired city bosses have their
day. ,Besim Bey's came when the
Near East Relief agents found that no
thorough Armenian relief work could
be done in that city while such condi-
lions of terrorization existed. General
MacAndrew ordered the arrest and
removal Of the six worst Turks in the
ring that ruled the city, and Besim
Bey qualified, as usual. for first plaee.

They say it is sinful to ,fiirt,
They tell me my heart is a stone,
They asked me to speak to him kindly,
Or else leave the poor boy alone.
They say he is only boy
I'm sure he is much older than me,
And If they would leave US alone,
I'm sure we would happier be.
l remember one night when he said
He loved me more dear than himself,
He called me his darling, his own,
And asked me to be his dear wife.
ooh, darling, said with smile,
''l'm sure will have to say no.
He took my hand for while,
And said, "Goodbye, must CO."
''Oh, darling, how can YOU" he said
"And isyourlpoor heart made OF stone
He took white rose from my hair,
And left me standing alone.
Next morning the poor boy was dead,
He drowned in the pond by the mill;
The blessed water so clear,
That flowed from the banks of the
hill

His blue eyes forever were closed,
His bonnie face was so fair,
And in his hand was the rose
That he had taken from my hair.

I'll ever be faithful to you.

FOREIGN WOMEN NEED
AMERICAN HRATION As
MUCH As Do HUSBANDS

Washington, May 13.-The need of
reaching the foreign born woman with
American ideas was emphasized by
Peter a. Speek, of the library of con.
gress, speaking today az the Arnericani-
zation conference of the interior depart
ment.
'The adult'foreign born woman needs
extensive schooling more than the man"
Mr.. Speek declared. "and to bring the
women out into the American world
is one Of the most difficult tasks of
Americanization."
Mir. Speak pointed out that while the
head of the family naturally comes in
contact with American speech and ideas
in the course of making living. his
wife generally remains at home and is
unabsorbed by her newly adopted coun-
try. lie declared the problem of edu.
eating alien-born residents was acutest
in large colonies of immigrant settlers,

ACTION OF PENR0SE AND
WARREN FOR CHAIRMEN Is
DEFERRED BY REPUBLICANS

Washington May 13.-In arranging
today for the organization conference
of republican senator's tomorrow.
leaders planned to postpone action ON
the contest over the proposed election
of Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania and
Warren Of Wyoming, as chairmen Of
of the finance and appropriations com
mittees, respectively.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, the
republican leader, said only routing
business was planned tomorrow. This
include selection of chairman. secretary
and whip authorization of q steering
committee and a committee on com
mittees to be appointed by the chair
man, and selection of senate officers.
including the SECRETARY and sergeant
alarms.
Senator Lodge was said to be without,
opposition for reelection as the con
ference chairman, and it was expected
that Senator Curtis of Kansas would
be reelected whip and Senator Wads-
worth of New York secretary.
Choice of n president pro TEN was
a subject of numerous conferences to-
day, and it appeared probable that the
office would go to one of the senator's
affiliated with those opposing Sena-
tors Penrose and Warren.
Differences over the selection of Sem
ators Penrose and Warren as commit
tee chairmen, according to prominent
party leaders, will await appointment
of the committee on committees and its

Daily Summary
of Peace News
NV the Associated Press

Paris today indicates brighter
prospects for a solution OF the
Italian problem which is press
ing one now that the peace con
ference is on the eve OF receiving
the Austrian delegates.
The Austrian peace delegation Is
on the way to Paris, some mem
bers in the mission being already
in France. due to reach Paris to-
night with the plenipotentiaries ar
riving on Wednesday morning.
Although it is not believed prob
able that the Germans will refuse
to sign the treaty Of peace pre-
scented to them last "Wednesday by
the allied and associated cavern
ments the entente forces are pre-
pared to advance into Germany if
the enemy should ,cject the terms
of the pact according to a London
dispatch.
The wave OF opposition in Ger
many to the signing of the treaty
ON the terms presented, shows no
signs of subsistence. Both Presi-
dent Ebert and Chancellor Scheide-
mann have made statements de-
nouncing the terms. Neither Of
them, however, went 50 far as to
state that Germany would not sign
them.
In Chancellor Scheidemann'
statements the possibility of Il new
government taking office in Ger
many was discussed, but the chan
cellor declared it was doubtful
whether the formation of a gov
ernment which would sign the
peace terms would be satisfactory
to the allies" the implication be-
ing that it would be ultra-radical
in character.
Meanwhile, the experts, of the
council of four are examining the
notes sent by Count Won Brock
dorff Rantzau, head of the German
mission, to NJ. Clemeancpau, presi-
dent of the peace conference, rela-
tive to the reparation of prisoners
and the establishments of new
basis for international labor legis-
islation along lines suggested by
German experts. 4 draft of the
German plan for league of ma
tions has been handed to the
league of nations commission of the
