the county authorities he was adjudged
insane and put into close confinement.

HAREM GIRLS
TURKS ESTIMATED TO HOLD
10000 ARMENIANS IN
SLAVERY

TIFLIS, Armenia, Oct. 25-Turk-
ish Armenian refugees whose daugh-
tiers were saved from death for a
life of slavery in Turkish harems,
have appealed to the American Red
Cross for aid in obtaining their
freedom. 1t is estimated by Off
Gals of the Armenian government
that 10000 girls r thus held in
slavery. An executive committee
to orange plans for their liberation
has been named and will start work
at once.
These girls, daughters of refu-
gees from the Van and Bitlis re-
gions, disappeared during the mas
sacres of 1918. Nothing was heard
from them for months and it was
believed they had been slain by the
Turks.
Recently pitiful appeals for liber-
alton have been coming from them
from the Turkish harems of Ana
tolia and European Turkey. Most
of the girls declare that they have
not changed their religion.
Colonel Haskell, high commits
sioner of the allies to Armenia, has
been appealed to for military aid.
No definite answer has yet been
given but he is hopeful of being
able to offer a show of force as a
background for diplomatic negotia-
tions. The American Red Cross has
been asked for financial backing
necessary for the work of liberating
the women.

TEUTONS HOPE FOR
BIG u. S. CREDITS
MANUFACTURED GOODS BEING
SMUGGLED INTO COUNTRY
FROM ALLIED NATIONS

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-Pessimism of
many financial writers about the
industrial future of Germany is in
sharp contrast to the general optim-
ism of the people. who ~stubbornly
cling to the hope that America will
sooner or later grant huge credits,
and who overlook the fact that
American capital is still shy of Ger
man loans.
One of the most important Ger
man industries is the textile indus
try and those interested in securing
raw materials at the earliest pos
sible moment, or the credit with
which to buy them, are gradually
more and more alarmed at the colos-
sal smuggling through the occupied
territory, for it indicates to them
that England, France and to a
lesser extent America, want to
swamp Germany with manufactured
goods and will withhold raw ma
terials as long as possible.
Germany had succeeded in the
summer of 1918 in mitigating the
dislike for clothes made of paper,
but hardly was this dislike gone
than the armistice came, and the
well-paid workmen and others pre-
ferred to pay the enormous prices
for foreign textiles, enormous partly
because they came from countries
where prices are higher than in
Germany, and partly because of
the low exchange values of the Ger
man mark.
1t was this influx of textiles pri-
marily that induced Finance Min
lister Erzberger to make customs
duties in gold obligatory, for he
believed that that would in some
measure be a drawback to would-be
importers. Financial experts. how
ever, doubt whether this measure
would be sufficient to prevent a
ruinous flood of textiles. already
manufactured. before Germany can
secure it's necessary credits.

ADMIRE Ex-kAISER
RIOTS START WHEN ATTEMPTS
ARE MADE TO REMOVE
PICTURES

BERLIN, Oct. 25.-Numerous
strikes among students and. in at
least one case. a serious riot, have
resulted from the recent notifica-
ton by Herr Haenisch, Prussian
minister of education, that portraits
of the former emperor and the
crown prince must be removed from
the schools. Pommeranian schools
have been especially active.
At Cassel $500 public school pu-
pills held an open-air meeting of
protest against the removal of the
Hohenzollern pictures. The meet
ing was addressed by young Won
Trott Zustalz. son of the former
minister of education. His re-
marks incensed some youthful work
men who had Joined the crowd and
a general fight ensued. Police and
troops had to be called to restore
order.
At Magdalene college, Breslau,
scholars protested against the re-
moval of two portraits of the for
mer emperor and replaced them
with two others, to the singing of
the national anthem.

MEXICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES WARNING UP FOR RACE

introduction of the bill which has
not gone to a vote. +
Other persons have been men
toned as possible candidates. Gem
eral Salvador Alvarado, a former
Carranza adherent but who of late
has been sharply critical of his for
mer first chief, is still thought by
many persons to have ambitions de-
spite his assertions to the contrary.
He has been active in forming clubs
of the Liberal democratic party.
Luis Cabrera, secretary of the
treasury. has frequently been men,
toned but he has not deemed the
rumors important enough either to
deny of affirm them. IgnaciO Bo-
nillas, ambassador to the United
States during many critical months,
also has many followers who urge
him to run but in a recent inter
view with Ell Democratic he secuted
ideas of his candidacy.
Newspapers here refuse to be
completely assured that elections
with really be held. President Car
rama by decree has the power to
postpone elections and it is within
possibilities that he may deem the
situation at election time so tense
that a test at the polls would be in
advisable. The president has said,
several times that he is not a can
didate for a third term and he like
wise has not signified a preference
for any of the presidential aspirants,
intimating that his chief desire is
that the people be allowed to ex-
press their free choice for chief
magistrate.
