Gompers' Statement
= is Hotly Attacked
Assertions Made Declaring Radical
ism in Europe Worse Than in
America Despite Alcohol
l. THING OF IGNORANCE

!, WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The as
sertion of Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation Of Labor
that prohibition was contributing to
the unrest IN the United States, was
characterized as mot only unfortun-
ate, but deserving of rebuke," in a
statement issued here today by the
board of temperance, prohibition and
public morals of the Methodist
church.
"Radicalism in England and
France and thruout the continent OF
Europe" the statement said; lis very
much more rife than it is in America,
despite the Hoods of alcohol. Boil
shevism is a thing of Ignorance; pro-
hibition commands the support Of 80
per cent of Americans with school
educations. Bolshevism is thing of
saloons, barrel houses and slums;
prohibition is the production of
schools, churches and homes"
"All America comedies everything
to labor and labor leaders," the state
ment added, but Mr.. Gompers is
not the uncrowned king of this
country. If it is true that foreign
born laborers are rebellious against
the country because of prohibition,
it may be said that the country is not
being run entirely for their benefit.
If they do not like the way things are
being done, let them go back to Eu-
rope. Six weeks after they have
landed on that continent they will be
begging the churches for passage
money back"

Armenians Being
Harried by Turks

New York.-Upon his arrival here,
Miriam Sevalsy, representative IN the
United States of the Armenian nation
al delegation, asserted that "the be-
trayal of Armenia constitutes the most
cOwardly act in the annals Of history"
"The condition in Armenia continues
to be precarious," he said. "The Ar
menians are still at the mercy Of the
Turks and Tartars without any effec-
tive protection from the allied powers,
except it be in southern Armenia, bor-
dering the Mediterranean, where there
are French and British troops.
Turkey is taking advantage Of the
present rivalry of the powers as she
has been doing for the last one hun
dred years, to give the finishing touch
to her policy Of Armenian Christian
determination. England does not want
to act, by reason, it seems, Of her In
dian policy.
'There are already in this country
representatives of the Armenian re-
public of the trans-C Caucasus, and the
plenipotentiary of the Armenian ma
tipnal delegation Of Paris, who have
come to state their case to the govern
ment of the United States and to con-
gress. Let their presence, among us
become symbol of arousing the pub
lie to truer sense Of its duties toward
this deserving nation which has a
claim upon American, and which the
latter truly acknowledges.
IT would like to add one word. There
are about two hundred thousand Ar
menian girls and women sequestered
by the Turks and other barbarians, and
not single Turk has as yet been
hanged for the wholesale butcheries Of
these innocent and defenseless Armen-
ians, whereas German officers are be-
ing hailed before military tribunals In
France for having violated the laws
of war"
