DEATH IN TEHERAN
Persian Charge dAffaires to
United States Appeals for
Stricken Country.

People all over Persia are falling
dead as fast as autumn leaves from the
trees. Twelve thousand persons have
died in the past year in Teheran alone
from starvation and the diseases which
follow malnutrition. Unless help on
a large scale is prompt the entire coun-
try will be threatened, is the substance
Of unofficial letters just received by
Mira Ali Kuli Khan, n. D., Persian
charge d'affaires to the United States.
In making this information public.
Doctor Khan stated: 'The Persian
government has not officially asked for
help. This is not an official appeal
for help for my countrymen. AS hui
man being, however, my conscience
compels ME to call to the attention of
the generous American public the fact
that my countrylnen are facing the
prospects of the winter with a shudder.
At the time the letters We're written

sentative of the American committee

does not begin to meet the need.
Workers, food and medical supplies
must Immediately be sent to Persia on
a large scale if the cradle Of the white
mans civilization is to be saved from
utter ruin.
In light of the fact that Persia has
rendered great service to the allied
cause by remaining neutral, and that
now famine and plague threaten to
wipe her out Of existence, Doctor
Khan was asked what part his coun-
try might take in the coming peace con-
ference and he only said: s'!That wilt
be settled later. Now, however, my
poor starving, plague-stricken country
must be helped. AS consequence OF
the war, Persia's commerce has suf.

Romance Strong Enough.

Court Does Not Consider Call Of
Romance Strong Enough.
Dan Cupid lost his case before
Judge Andy Calhoun in the city court
at Atlanta, Ga.
Just as the judge was about to pro-
nounce sentence on young woman
who had been arraigned on charge
of vagrancy, soldier stepped forth
from the audience and announced
that he wished to marry the accused
young woman. Mrs. Maybelle LAYER
the defendant, smiled her assent, anG
the court halted his sentence.
But Assistant Solicitor Ed Hill OBJ
jected. He remarked to the court
that nothing was known Of the young
woman, and that she might be per
mitted to commit bigamy; that she
might already have husband.
Mrs. Laver admitted that she had
been twice married, but insisted thai
she is free now. She said she had
been married in Florida, but would
not give the name of the town II
which she had lived, nor any further
information.
Judge Calhoun did not consider tn.
call of romance strong enough, and
declined the request of the soldier
He proceeded to sentence Mrs. Lavel
to spend six months in the county
home for girls.
