QUEEN MARY IN MOVIES
Will be Seen In Women Who Win"
in England and America

London, Jan. 14-London is eager
ly waiting to see a picture play called
"Women Who VIM" for Queen Mary
is making her debut therein as NOV
lie actress. The film is being pre-
pared under the auspices of the Brit
ish ,Women's Service, of which Lady
Frances Balfour is president. 1t will
be shown simultaneously in England
and the United States.
The Queens part in the play is to
talk to the heroine, who is supposed
to be engaged on airplane work. She
had made herself familiar with the
scenario and knew her role well.
The scene was set at an aircraft ex-
hibition in Agricultural Hall. The op-
orators began to turn the cranks of
their cameras, and the Queen moved
slowly toward the spot where the
heroine was seated. She talked to her
for several moments, and then, still
according to the scenario, "shook her
warmly by the hand" But, to the
dismay of the producers, the Queen
then walked out of the picture before
the scene was finished. One of her
ladies in waiting explained the situa-
ton, and with smile the Queen
completed the scene.

Mexico City, Jan. 13-Ravages
of Spanish influenza among the poor
charcoal burners who live in the
mountains surrounding the capital
are said to be responsible for the un-
precedented price which that COM
modify is bringing. In the last month
charcoal, which is generally used for
cooking purposes, has increased about
300 per cent in cost. The municipal
ity has made arrangements to buy
this product in quantities and retail it

STIRRING SPEECH
AT ARMORY
MONDAY NIGHT
The Struggle of a Brave
People Vividly Portrayed
THIS TOWN HAS.
CONTRIBUTED 500
Thirteen Teams Now Can
vassing the Town in the
Drive

The address by General Mesrop
Azgapetain at the Armory Monday
evening proved to be one of the
most interesting and vivid descrip-
tions of the war that has been given
in ST. Johnsbury since America en-
tered this great struggle for freedom.
This talented Armenian officer, who
speaks different languages, held the
audience for more than an hour by
his modest but eloquent description
of the heroic services performed in
the great war by the noble race
which he represents, showing their
wonderful achievements against the
cruel and unscrupulous Turk.
Gen. Azgapetain didn't harrow the
feelings OF the audience by pictures
Of massacre, but in simple and elo-
quent language, portrayed the patri-
otic, unselfsh services which Armen-
ian soldiers rendered in the bloody
struggle for the liberty of the op-
pressed peoples of the whole world.
How this once populous nation of
nearly so millions of people, reduced
by tyranny, massacre and fiendish
oppression through decades of Turk
ish misrule, comprising only about
five millions at the beginning of the
war, were able to bring together
thousands of brave soldiers to fight
on the side of liberty against tyran-
my and oppression was most vividly
set forth.
The great hope, Of the Armenians
that their nation, which for many
years has been divided and held
subject by alien empires, might now
be reunited with full liberty was the
climax of the address. And General
3Azgapetain showed most clearly that
it is to America that this noble and
suffering people look for assistance
and protection.
The destruction of the homes and
property of the Armenians by the
Turkish armies has been complete.
America and only America can fur
nlsh the assistance which is i'm
mediately needed if these people are
to survive.
After hearing this educational his
tory of the military services and sac
rlfices of the Armenians in holding
the Turks and thus allowing the al
lied nations time to organize their
forces to repeH the enemy, we should
feel that it is not charitable offerings
we are now asked for but rather that
we now have the opportunity to pay
part of the debt which we owe to
the brave and suffering people of the
"'Near East"
Several generous subscriptions
were made at the close of the meet
ing and these, added to the efforts of
the local solicitors, amounted to
about S700, as a beginning of the re-
lief fund.
The thirteen teams of local can
vassers are now organized and work
ing and the full quota of $4,000 should
be raised before the end of the week.

votion, she has exhibited the great
est courage during the two periods
of bombardment to which the can

Some American Soldiers Have Saved
Their Pay

Their Pay
London, Jan. 14-American SOL
diers ordered home since the signing
of the armistice are not leaving Eng
land without funds. Most of them
have some money, and some. of them
have considerable amounts.
One Red Cross officer who has been
here from London changing the
money of the soldiers from pounds
to dollars, in order that they may
have the currency of their own money
when the reach America, says:
s'I have changed the money of some
thousands of men and not one of
them had less than two months pay
to take home with him. Some of
them had as much as $100, while
here and there was an especially
thrifty fellow with $125. When it
is remembered that the boys have
been subjected to the temptations of
buying souvenirs for the home folks
in a strange country and that they
have been paying war prices for all
they bought, it can be seen they have
done very we'll"
