NIGHT $ -.
I IN MAYsv|lLE


The Educational Division OF the
Chamber OF Commerce met In the as
sembly room ofthe organization Tues
day afternoon, and discussed several
problems Of vital Importance.
Chairman Caplinger offered a reso-
luton to be presented to the Board OF
Directors Of the organization endors-
ing Senate bill 1887 creating the De-
partment Of Education, with a Secre-
tary in charge who shall be a member
Of the Presidents Cabinet. This Is an
important step in the right direction,
as the Department of Education
would prove an important factor In
advancing Educational interests, as
has the Department Of Agriculture In
recent years. Upon motion, the Chair
man was instructed to present the re-
solution with the endorsement OF the
committee to the Board Of Directors
with the suggestion that they give 1t
the endorsement Of the organization.
Some discussion followed, relative
to the plan to survey the city in an en-
deavor to ascertain whether there was
sufficient demand for a night school
This survey was contemplated before
the holidays, but numerous matters
have caused the delay. The commit
tee is not entirely satisfied that the
survey would even produce the de-
sired results, and they have instruct
ed the Secretary to give the matter
some publicity. It was suggested that
IL there be those interested in the
night school, the curriculum of which
will include commercial branches,
manual training, also domestic sci
ence and the common branches that
they should make known their desire
at the Chamber Of Commerce before
next Tuesday afternoon at which time
the Educational Division will meet
and take up the matter. II there Is
sufficient interest demonstrated, a
survey will be made and a night
school established, providing sufic-
lent enrolment can be secured
This is a splendid opportunity for
the young folks Of Maysville, with 9
common school education, and II
should be taken advantage Of. II
would also prove very desirable con
tinuation of the education Of the honr
ably discharged soldiers received a
the environments. In fact, it was frs
thought of, for the benefit Of these re
turned soldiers. Many cities are de
monstrating their appreciation Of tn
effort put forth by these soldiers II
furnishing them this advanced edu
cation.
Any young person, whether soldie
or civilian, interested in advanced ed
ucation, should not neglect to inform
the Secretary at the Chamber o
Commerce, of their desire.

force as governor of Armenian Kara
bagh, began an attack upon the city
of Chouci. the capital Of Karabagh.
The attack was clearly premeditated.

tars had advised those of their COM

quarter of the city to retire to the
Tartar quarter. Soultanoff had occu-
pied. by surprise. the strong positions

succeeded finally in capturing Soul

the Aremnian national council, to
avoid new and useless hecatombs,
withdrew from the city.
During this time all those Arme-

but the population, warned in ad-

obliged to retire. leaving fourteen
dead behind them.
THE number Of dead exceeds 500,
many of whom are women and
children.
THE anxiety raised by these new
masSacres Is intense at Erivan, the
capital of the Armenian republic. and
in all the Armenian provinces. Meet
ings and manifestations of protest
have taken place everywhere. and
the protestants have marched to the
residence of the British mission to
|! demand justice. The Journal Ach-
khadavor of Tif1is has learned from
a reliable source that the allied forces
of the Caucasus have caused the ar
rest of DR.. Soultanoff, governor-gen-
eral Of Karabagh.
'"The cause of the conflict. which has
ensanguined once more one OF the
most proven Of the Armenian prov
inces. seems to be largely political.
The Tartars have tried by every
means to annex to the republic of
Azerbeidjan the province OF Armenian
Karabagh. and the Armenian national
council of the region having always
refused. DR.. Soultanoff resorted to the
Turko-Tartar method-that of massa-
ere, rather than to submit the matter
to the peace congress, as the Arme-
mans demanded.
According to the pre-war statistics
of the Russian government, Armenian
Karabagh (the occidental half of the
administration of CantZak) numbered
a total population of $3.50 inhabi-
tants. of whom 376,000 were Arme-
mans, $4,000 Tartars. 5000 Russians
and GeorgianS, and 5000 Turks.

Also Might Mean War.

Until the allied peace pact with Turkey
Is signed. it also is pointed out, the send
ing Of American troops to Aremnia with
in the immediate future would be tanta-
mount to declaration of war upon Tur-
key, and it is argued this is wholly in
consistent with the present spirit of
world adjustment. Were the treaty
with Turkey signed and it specifically
set aside an American mandatory the
course of this government would be
smoother. AS the situation stands at
the moment it is extremely probable no
moves will be decided upon until Presi-
dent Wilson's advisers on near eastern
affairs have reported to him and these
reports are made available to Congress.
Then one or the other may act.
1t is also apparent that the question,
would the American people consent to

sideration of the mandatory idea in both

BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

Capitalization Of an American pol
icy in regard to Armenia and early
action looking to a mandatory for the
stricken region and suffering people
is earnestly hoped for in certain Dip
lomatic circles in Washington. This
government is expected to act before
it is too late to save the remaining
Armenian people from death at the
hands of marauding Turks and Kurds.
But notwithstanding diplomatic ex-
pectations there is little indication
that immediate action may be ex-
pected.
the hands Of marauding Turks and
Kurds.
AS yet President Wilson has not
made definite recommendation to Con-
gress that such steps be taken, and
Congress as a consequence has done
nothing looking toward America
shouldering this great responsibility
in the near east.
"America Fiddling," Is Claim.
Politically. American officials are
fiddling while Armenia is being mas
sacred is paraphase heard as re-
suit of the attitude of the executive
and congressional branches Of the gov
ernment.
1t is known that President Wilson
is sentimentally incliped toward par
ticipation in Armenian affairs. though
Army experts. who have studied the
whole question, insist that it would
take a force of 10000 soldiers to po-
lice and rehabilitate Armenia, not to
speak of protecting these peoples
against the Turks. Those arguing
insistently for American participation
in Armenia declare a lesser number
of men would be required.
But as a result of the political sit
uation and the waves Of antagonism
that have met Mr.. Wilson's every
proposal looking toward Americas 8
participation in affairs abroad, 1t is
not to be expected, say well informed
quarters. that he will Immediately
subject himself to another hail of po-
litical brickbats.
In administration circles the remark,
Let Congress initiate Armenian relief
measures" is heard frequently. Con-
gress. on the other hand, is extremely
loath to undertake responsibilities the
result, of which are in extreme doubt,
and there is strong antagonism against
becoming further embroiled in European
and Asiatic affairs through the medium
Of active participation of American
forces in any mandatory.

looking toward the ending of Ar
menia's woes. they are doing little, II
anything. in taking hand in the gen.
eral situation.
Such British troops as are on guard
in Armenia admittedly are insufficient
to protect the people, and these even
will be withdrawn by the British al
the earliest possible moment. The
British merely are awaiting action by
the American government, and it is
very probable that if this government
does not voluntarily act the European
governments will enter agreements
among themselves to protect allied
interests in the Caucasus and near
east before the league Of nations
comes into being.
Cannot Act Pending Peace.
It is the general assertion in off,
cial quarters that this government
Evening star., 1919-08-28

cannot act as long as the main peace
treaty is pending. With ratification,
however. President Wilson might
make definite recommendations in re-
gard to Armenia.
That the Turks in nowise have cur
tailed their barbaric practices in Ar
menia and that the peoples are being
subjected to greatest inhumanities are
further borne out by the Armenian
telegraph agency. which has sent out
a dispatch from Erivan, stating:
"Details have been received con-
cerning the massacre of the Arme-
nian at Karabagh. The vice president
of the council of the Armenian repub-
lie, Mr.. Khadissian, has presented a
vigorous protest to the British mis-
sion and to Gen. Kerry, and left to-
day for Tifiis for the purpose of
bringing the matter in person to the
direct attention of the British COM
mand. At the capital all classes of
the population are in extreme anx-
iety."
Details have been given to the Ar
menian National Union of America by
the Armenian journals of the Cau-
casus and Constantinople. Hundreds
Of Armenian women and children are
being ignominiously massacred, ac-
cording to reports.
