AWFUL DISTRESS
 FOUND IN ARMENIA
By Associated Press

London, April 16-The sights one sees in Armenia are almost beyond belief, and the tales one hears are too ghastly to be inventions.
 This is an extract from a letter an Armenian medical officer, writing from the base of Mount Ararat. to a fellow ccuntryman in London. The letter says:
 Ut may interest you to know of the awful state of distress existing in the country here. Thousands of people are homeless and absolutely destitute In the town of Erivan alone there are s, GOO ref ugees. Their country has been ravaged, the houses burned and the survivors who escaped with their lives have nothing but the rags they are wearing
 "I have been sent down here to inquire into an epidemic of typhus among the na- tive population. It is as serious as it was reported to be.
 For months the people have been cut off from all communication with the out side world, with the exception of a small area around Erivan. The whole country has been overrun by it's enemies. There are no supplies of any kind and the popu- lation is on the verge of starvation, many already having died of hunger

ZAPATA'S BODY
 PACKED IN ICE

Cuautla, Mex. May 2-Legends already are beginning to spring up among the superstitious and ignorant Indians of this state regarding Emiliano Zapata. the rebel chief who met death near here on April 10. In an attempt to preserve the bandits body as long as possible in or der to give the greatest number of his former followers a chance to see it, it was packed in ice. in the absence of em- balming fluids The ice burst the sides and top of the flimsy coffin and gave rise to superstitious tales that the At tila of the South" as Zapata was called. was not really dead, but had burst his coffin and escaped.

SUGGESTS SMOKING IN CHURCH

London.-It is curious when mat
tiers of such serious moment are agi-
tating the world that such a sugges-
ton as the one made by some mem
bers of st. James Chuch, Bermond-
sey, that smoking be allowed in
church, should have excited so much
controversy. 1t looks, too, as if the
"ayes" were in the majority.
Smoking in church, one advocate
Of a pipe during sermon says, was al
lowed in England up till the reign
of James I. But one does not need
to go so far back to find smoking in
church common in some parts OF
England In 1851 visitor to an
Essex church was shown, slowed
away in various hooks in the gallery
short pipes smoked by the congrega
ton while the services were going
on. In Wales, too, as late as 1850
the start of the sermon was the sig
nal for the lighting of the pipes OF
the men in the congregation.
Sir Walter Scott records how farm
ers in the country districts Of Scot
land were accustomed to light up as
soon as the minister announced the
text. Isaac Barrow called tobacco
his panpharmacon, or cureall. Bish-
op Burnet was so loath to part with
his pipe that he cut hole in his hat
to support it. Doctor Parr used reg
ularly to smoke in the vestry before
his sermon while the congregation
was singing, my people like long
hymns" he said, "but I prefer long
claws"

WE ASTONISH THE WORLD

In spite of their tremendous an
nual bill for fiery liquors the Amer
lean people are VIGOROUSLY a race of
water drinkers. The fact has always
been commented upon with amaze
ment by foreigners, and especially
the American habit of taking the
water iced 1t has also been men
toned with scientific pain by many
of our own medical experts, who
have tried to impress us with the
dangers of the habit A friend is re-
minded by the impending menace to
send us this clipping OF an ancient
and familiar quatrain:
MANY mortal, young and old,
Has gone to his sarcophagus
Through pouring water, icy cold,
Adown his warm esophagus."
The author of the bit of scientific
morality is not known. Our friend
says he clipped it from the Chicago
Tribune some years ago. and posi-
bly, it is to be credited to Eugene
Field. Anyway, it sounds something
like him. But we are not sure that
it is scientifically correct. There are
many who still persist, in spite of the
warnings, in the theory that the
drinking of ice water, under reason
able conditions, is in no way harm
full.

PRESIDENT OF BRAZIL GOES TO
VISIT WILSON.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Pres-
ident-elect Pessoa of Brazil and his
party, who were on their way to the
United States from Portugal on
board the French cruiser Jeanne
dare, were transferred to the Amer
lean army transport Imperator 1900
miles at sea Tuesday, after the cruis-
er's engines had been disabled.
Dispatches to the Navy department
said the transfer was made in small
boats without incident, and the I'M
perator arrived at New York Thurs
day morning. The Jeanne dare be-
came disabled soon after she had
passed the Imperator, from Brest to
New York, with American troops, and
wireless message recalled the big
transport. Later the transport Mon
golia, bound from New York for
France, arrived and took the cruiser
in tow for the Azores, where repairs
will be made.
After boarding the Imperator, DR..
Pessoa sent this wireless message to
President Wilson at Paris:
lowing to breakdown of the en-
CINE of the French cruiser on which
l was travelling to New York, she
was unable to proceed on her voy-
age. The U. S. S. Imperator imme-
dlately came to our assistance and
am now on the way to the United
States aboard her. l take great pleas
ure in thanking you for this gener-
Gus example of American hospitality
which, not content with keeping
within the bounds of it's great terri
tory, now extends itself to the very
ocean,"

KENTUCKY BANKERS OPPOSED
TO WILLIAMS APPOINTMENT.

At each of the eleven group meet
ings of bankers held in this State res
olutions were adopted and forwarded
to the Kentucky Senators at Wash
ington, urging that the appointment
of John Shelton Williams as Comp
troller of the Currency not be ap-
proved by the United State Senate,
State Banking Commissioner Speer
said on his return from the last
meeting. Mr.. Williams has met with
opposition from the bankers because
of the fact that he has required re-
ports which the bankers believe are
detrimental to their business inter-
ests. The reports cover the use to
which money borrowed from the
banks is to be put, with the amount
for each purpose.
The group meetings this year were
more successful than any previous
year, Mr.. Speer said. They were bet
ter attended and there was a greater
interest manifested, The bankers
have determined to do much in the
work of reconstruction in the coun-
try, Mr.. Speer said.
