BIG SISTER MOVEMENT
DESCRIPTION IS GIVEN

An interesting description of the
big sister" movement was given in
an address by Mrs. Nelson Tweed
Miller at meeting of the Anthony
League held yesterday afternoon at
2007 Columbia road. This movement
was organized by Mrs. Fred Du Bots
for the purpose of helping to bright
en- the lives of the wounded soldiers
at Walter Reed Hospital. Mrs. Miller
related many amusing incidents that
had occurred during her work at the
hospital. and declared that there were
many little things that only those
acquainted with the art of amusing
could do. She spoke OF the entertain
ments that had been given: She
stated that now the big sisters?
We're trying to get people Interested
who would lend the use of their auto
mobiles for short periods during the
week to enable the boys at the hos
pital to attend church services and
various amuSementS that were held
throughout the city.
Miss Myrtle Stinson gave a short
summary of her experiences during
her eighteen months services in
France under the Y. NJ. c. A. Be
cause of her knowledge of French she
had been assigned to the French
armies and afterward to the Polish
troops. She spoke of her work in
training some 200 Polish troops for a
chorus, which was later Joined in by
1000 soldiers She stated that it was
surprising how they appreciated mu-
sic and the reading of good litera-
ture. Miss Stinson also related vari-
Gus episodes and amusing events that
happened during her connection with
the armies abroad.
Mrs. Wayne b. Wheeler sang Let
Us Have Peace" Mrs. Hannah T..

FOREIGN BORN HAVE
CHANCE TO SHOW SPIRIT
Coming Membership Drive Of Citi-
zens' Association Gives
Opportunity"

The coming membership drive of
the citizens associations gives the
foreign-born residents of the District
an opportunity to show that they are
Americans in spirit by joining their
neighborhood organization, in the
opinion of August A. Breuninger. In
a statement referring to the drive, he
said:
Here is a chance for every foreign
born citizen of this District to show
their real American spirit and pa
future to make these citizens clubs
their own classrooms for the study
and assimilation of the American idea
and true democracy.
1T appeared to me that it ought to
be the patriotic duty of every male
person, female, too, for that matter
over the age of twenty-one years, to
go to the secretary treasurer of his
district citizens association and en-
roll his name, pledging at the same
time to attend all the meetings and
use his vote in lettering the condi-
lions of the town. Let Saturday, No
vember %, be a day of true Ameri-
canism for the capital of the nation
eff we all dc our duty and all go
up and register our names and pay

we can borrow it from our neighbor.
groceryman, banker, or any one that
will lend it to us), we thus would
save all this time for these business
men and at the same time make
| things much more pleaSant for all.
We should not compel these men to
sacrifice all this time and to do what
! is truly our own patriotic duty"

stated. may require a month or six
weeks and the damage and cost of
replacement of the cables. feeders
etc. will amount to several thousand
dollars.
So far as could be determined today
the turnout was caused by insulation
on some of the cables breaking down
and igniting from the resulting short
circuit. Power was cut in from the
spliced feeders at sis o'clock last
hours, during which time most of the
buildings in the central downtown
section were practically without cur
rent for any purpose.
Street lights were out, office build
ings were dark and elevators were
not running during that time. Street
car service was not seriously inter-
fered with because the car lines are
supplied direct from the Benning
powerhouse, except in the case OF
two or three outlying lines.

Trusted as No Other Nation.
3. Because America is trusted as
no other nation in the near east.
The people desire our help and are
ready to receive it. Our treatment
quoted in the East. AS We travelled
from Cairo to Constantinople we
found nearly all the peoples of nearer
Asia asking for an American mandate
as their first choice.
4. Because America, from the very
nature of her principles and institu-
lions. and from her neutral and safe
geographical location, which makes
the acquisition of fertilizer territory I'M
necessary, stands in a position to rem
der a larger unselfiSh service for Tur-
keys own good than any other power.
5. Because of our stake and invest
ment already in Turkey. America
alone has been conducting missions
here on a large scale for a century.
America has invested in men and
buildings. in colleges. hospitals, ana
relief institutions. We either have to
back up this investment or lose it.
We have to finish our task or run the
fisk of seeing our work of century
ruined and our missionaries driven
out.
s. Because of our responsibility to
the Armenians. The Armenians seem
to be, in special sense. the wards of
the United States. Their record is their
appeal.
The task is not impossible nor i'm
practicable. A relatively small force
of either American or British troops
could quickly restore order. The
whole government Of Turkey could be
made self-supporting. Even on the
lowest grounds it would pay ma
terially. .:ut on higher grounds it is
right. The most prosecuted people on
earth look to America as the nation
best able to help them. Is her answer
to be one of provincial selfishness or
sacrificial services? Shall Armenia and
Turkey both have their part in every
body's world?
We recently passed the spot where
the Asiatic Paul crossed from Asia
into Europe with the germinal mes
sage and dynamic power that was to
produce, in spite of all persecution or
barbarity that opposed it, a Christian
civiliza ton. The hour has now come
when those Christian forces must be
carried from the west back to the
east: The Macedonian cry of human
need, Come over and help us" which
brought the Apostle Paul from Asia
Minor to Europe. now. calls US back
to the very province which gave US
the moral, spiritual and social forces
of our civilization.

Armenians in Danger.

There are the strongest reasons
against leaving the Turks in full pos
session. They have proved as incapa-
ole of governing other races as they
have of honest, efficient and progress

Turkey Armenians are already mark
ed down for massacre. Armenia is
now hemmed in on three sides. On
the north are the Georgians,1 on the
southeast the Tartars, while a Turk

A French officer who has just returned
informed US that $1,000 Armenians
were killed in the month of August

The fourth possibility, that of the
partition of Turkey. would be almost
as disastrous as a mandate to the
Turks themselves. 1t would be i'm
possible to have a unified policy and
to do justice to the score of peoples
amid the restless tossing of long
enthralled nationalities." The reform

BY SHERWOOD EDDY.
The writer has just returned from
the near east. journeying overland
from Cairo to Constantinop1e, through
Egypt. Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia
and Turkey. Throughout the near
east he found an earnest and insist
ent demand from leaders of many
nationa.ities and faiths, British, Ar
menians, Turks and Americans in the
tians. that America should take
some part in world reconstruction
after the war. and that she should
accept some responsibility for at least
Constantinople and Armenia.
Four Plans Are Proposed.
What is to be done with Turkey?
The welfare of the near east and the
peace of the world are concerned in
the answer. Four plans are proposed
an American mandate, British
mandate, a Turkish mandate, or Tur-
key divided among the powers. OF
the four proposals we believe that the
first, or that of the American man
date, would be best for Turkey, for
America herself and for the welfare
of the world, which must suffer if
Turkey is misgoverned.
In the opinion of representative
Englishmen there are strong reasons
against a British mandate. Great
Britain has already undertaken all
she can do. While India is surging
with new nationalism England has
established protectorate over turbu-
lent Egypt and incorporated it in the
empire. She proposes to undertake
the costly responsibility for the whole
of Mesopotamia. for Persia. although
guaranteeing her independence: for
Afghanistan, and the lands contigu-
Gus to India She is already inyoly ed
in Arabia. 1t would be folly for her
in addition to undertake the whole of
Turkey and face the possibility at
some future time of the opposition of
the entire Mohammedan world. More
over, she has emerged from the war
with a heavy debt and her resources
will be strained to the utmost to de-
velop what she has already under
taken.

Why America Should Accept.

The first possibility is then left for
consideration. 1t is my belief that
America should not accept a sman-
date for Armenia alone. 1t would
be impossible thus to protect the Ar
menian people, to uplift the Turk, or
to unity Turkey. 1t would leave
America to do all the dirty work"
without the resources at hand to make
it success. 1 believe that we should
take three mandates-for Constants
nople, Anatolia and Armenia-or one
mandate for Turkey, with a free hand
to subdivide it into three or more
provinces. And we should take all
three or none.
Why should America accept a man.

are strong reasons for our doing So
