ALLIES URGED ID AID REFUGEES IN

Nearly Half Million Arme- nians Held From Homes by Turks Concentrated
 Along Border
By Assnniaied Press

New York. April 19.-Allied or Amert- can military intervention in Turkish-Ar- rnenia, to insure restoration of their home lands of thousands of refugees suf- fering of hunger and sickness was urged without waiting for formal action by the peace conference creating an Armenian mandatory, in a cablegram from pr. J. Fl. T. Main commissioner in the Cau- casus for the American committee for Austrian and Syrian relief, made public by the committee here tonight.
 More than S9OOCe Armenians, hundreds of whom were dying every day of starva- ton, typhus and cholera. Dr. Main stat ed, were concentrated along the boundary between Russian and Turkish Armenia, unable to porceed to their homes in the latter region because the allied forces there was insufficient to cope with the Turks, Kurds and Tartars. who had talk en possession of the territory and pro- posed to hold it by military might. This concentration, he added, with lack ot food and clothing, followed winter oi exile in the Caucasus and beyond hao produced "a condition of horror unparal- leled among the atrocities of the war,
 One-seventh of the refugees were dying every month. the commissioner declared, predicting success for the Turks eff cient policy of eXtermination by starVa" tion,' unless relief was given.
 According to Dr. Main, who is presl- dent of Grinnell college in Iowa, the situation requires "a considerable mum
 Der of troops to be used as policing force, supplied by a mandatory power. He said many Armenian soldiers would be available for such service.
 Cannot Christian civilization do some thing to restore and heal?' asked the commissioner, concluding his appeal should our government delay in reach ! ing out helping hand to these suffering people? The question of political ex- pediency ought to be forgotten in the presence of this world catastrophe. These people look to America. Our govern l ment is under moral obligations to re- Spond."

DOMESTIC SERVICE
 HATED IN ENGLAND
Committees of Investigation Have Made Reports On Servant Prob
 lem In Kingdom
By Associlted Press

London. March 19-There are three reasons why English girls fight shy of domestic service. Loss of social status long hours of duty and lack of com panionship.
 These are the findings of one of the numerous committees which, on behalf of the government, are trying to find a solution of the servant problem in this country.
 The fact cannot be denied" says the report, that domestic workers are re- garded by other workers as belonging to a lower social status. The dlstlnc- tive dress they are required to wear marks them out as class apart, the cap being generally resented.
 Ut is sometimes stated that the diff ferentiation in the quality of the food for the dining room and that for the servants hall or kitchen is another class distinction which leads to spirit
 of bitterness. The customs of address,
 ing domestic workers by their Christian name or surname is one of the causes of the superior attitude adopted by other workers recruited from the same or even from a lower social status.
 ''Further, the attitude adopted by the press and the stage is usually an un- fortunate one as servants are frequent ly represented as comic or flppant characters and are held up to ridi- cule"
 An advisory committee or the min istry of labor has laid down the nrs' official minimum wage scale Tor uo- mestic servants. It ranges from S1lO a year for a housemaid of IS years oi more up to s150 for a cook or house keeper. in addition to board and wash | ing. Hours of leisure are fixed at two hours daily, a half holiday every week | part time on Sundays. and i've weeks holiday each year with wages.

By Associated Press

Richmond, Va, April 19.-The flrst payment to Virginia of the so-called West Virginia debt, a subject of llti- gation between the two states for number of years, was made yesterday in Washington, when Treasurer w. 5.

 Officials said today that before the ecftroversy with the railroad administra- ton arose, the board not only had held conferences with many industries produc- Ing raw materials, but also had taken vigorous steps to bring about a reduction in the cost of living. In this connection it was said that the board had been active in urging clearly defined admin istration of the wheat appropriation bill to the end that the people could pur- cl ase wheat products at a reasonable cost, with the government taking She loss on the difference between the guar sntee price and the normal market price.
 Members of the board, it was said, all ready have held conferences in New York ard Chicago with manufacturers of food products and it is understood that some of the manufacturers have pledged themselves not to take undue advantage of the worlds demand for food to make abnormal profits.
