CAPTAIN AND MATE DEAD;
 SCHOONER ABANDONED

Boston. Oct. 1s-The death of the captain and the mate of the British schooner Onato and the abandonment of the vessel at sea were reported in messages picked up at naval radio stations today. The messages, which came from the American steamer Sarcoxie, indicated that the other members of the crew were taken off by the steamer last Thursday and asked that a police boat meet the Sarcoxie on her arrival in New York from Rotterdam.
 How the captain and mate met death was not disclosed. The request for the police boat led to suggestion that they might have been killed in mutiny. The messages did not say what caused abandonment of the schooner. The position where the crew was taken off was given as lati- tude 47.04 north, longitude 3s.45 west, or about 300 miles east of St. Johns, N. F.

SOLUTIONS SUGGESTED FOR
 THE ARMENIAN QUESTION

Silvas, Asiatic Turkey, Sunday, Sept. 21.-(By CourieE-By The Associated Press)-A variety of solutions for the Armenian questions have been sug- gested along the route taken by the Harbord Mission. Americans who have long lived in Turkey disagree as to the feasibility of Armenian independence. The Rev. Henry Riggs. in charge of the American mission college at Khar- put, said:
 Until six months ago I believed in an independent Armenia. but now pos itively not. I regard a single man. date for the former empire as best, iE which the Armenians by native intelli- gence may forge ahead. If new Ar menia were formed. there would re- main the insoluble race problem with the Turks, who are in the majority. Also, it would be natural for the Ar menians to attempt vengeance for old wrongs"
 There is every evidence of tranquil ity at Silvas and elsewhere along the route of the American mission. Those well informed consider that tn nation alfsts headed by Mustapha Kemal Pasha will seek friendly foreign sup port blieving that, otherwise, Turkey would be partitioned among France, Italy and Great Britain.
 NationaliStS express the belef. that the British are seeking the remnants of the Turkish empire. having previ- ously acquired Egypt, Arabia and MesOpOtan1ia.

 T am not a member of any church or. religious organization but may my lips be sealed with eternal silence be- fore I give official approval of an act to stamp out the religion of Jesus Christ and put organism in its stead.
 Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela- tions committee planned to speak dur ing the day on the Shantung amend ment but he decided not to do so be- cause of the time required by Senator Norris to finish his address. MT. Lodge probably will speak tomorrow and the leaders hope also to make some progress in the reading of the treaty text.

Find Standardization The Greatest Need
Conclusion Reached By Sen ate Labor Committee After Visit to Pittsburgh Steel Strike District.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Americaniza- tion of foreigners should be an inn mediate effort of congress through legisla ton, declared Senator Kenyon of Iowa, chairman of the senate labor committee. which returned today from an investigation of the steel strike in the Pittsburgh district The senator asserted that about half of tho steel workers are of foreign birth and con- noter read. write or speak English.
 The senator declined to discuss oth- CT ideas gained from the committee in yestigating. which he said would "a continued in the near future, posst- bly, in other strike districts.
 In formal statement issued today Senator Kenyon said:
 @I do not desire to discuss the steel strike nor the reasons nor causes therefor at this time. The committee has not as yet completed their m vestigatio I think it permissible to say; however, that the committee re- turned from the Pittsburgh district strongly in favor of some American ization bill.
 T have thought for a long while that congress must do what it could to help stimulate Americanism. That is common ground upon which we all can stand. and is a railylng polnt for all When you find that in all of these mills not over fifty per cent. read write Or speak the American language; when it is necessary in these mill districts to publish orders in all kinds of languages, it is time for the Amercan people represented by the American congress to give de- termined consideratio to some plan of affording these foreign citizens an op- portunity to learn what the institu- tions of America stand for and to be- come Americanized We saw some young fellows who had only smat- tering of our tongue who impressed us as. splendid material out of which to make American citizens
 Two bills are now pending before the committee. of which I have the honor to be chairman. dealing with this question. The committee meets this week to take them up and earnestly hope that one or both O. :hein may be reported out of the com mittee and may be passed by cor gress before adjournment. There is no greater question than that of Arrericanizing this nation, of ours.
 Many of those who cannot speak our language are yearning to know it and want the opportunity 30 learn about our institutions. Most of them rave subscribed for Liberty D ,nds, but how can they know anything about American in p~tltutions when they can not speak Americas S language. We ca mot reach one language nation overnight but that eventually -;holld be our goal It will take some tine. but the result will be worth while; for there is national solidarity in : l, reorkss of a ai@cn. speaking the srlie language. Eight and ha!f milton people in this country over ten years of age cannont speak, read. or write the American language To the cor rection of that condition svery citi- ger should resolve to do his part

RIDER HAGGARD DWELLS ON
 DANGERS OF RACE SUICIDE

London. Oct. 13.-Sir Rider Haggard, giving evidence before the National births which is now widespread in every western nation. he said. except perhaps Russia and Germany.
 He was of the opinion that unless a startling change occurred the western races within the next two centuries would be submerged beneath a great new influx from the teeming myriads of the east.
 Sir Rider doubted the effectiveness O: appealing to the conscience of the empire to stop this race suicide but thought that the state might stamp out diseases which are seriously af- fecting the race. and also subsidize motherhood.
