gaily caught at their hands as they came up out of the water.
 One soldier, who has endeared him. self to everyone at the Institute be- cause of his indomitable spirit and faith in the future, asked if he might be allowed to escort her from the gymnasium to the Institute. Miss Keller took his arm and they made their way with ease through the maze of walks, finding much to laugh at and chat about in the darkness that enfolded them. This same soldier presented Miss Keller with an enor- nous aluminium ring which he had made from piece of German aero- plane brought down by a French aviator It was so large that Miss Keller wore it on her first finger; but she displayed it proudly to everyone whom she met.
 Bringing herself as proof that blind ness need no longer be an unsur- mountable handicap, that the spirit need not be bowed down because sight has gone, Helen Keller has put a new fiji tn in our blind soldiers, as- surfing them of the great benefits they are receiving and enhancing the op- portunity of the Red Cross in making them forget the shadow
 The Seward Chamber of Commerce is agitating the question of erecting dock for fishing boats. The chamber went on record recently as saying that considerable portion of the wealth of Alaska was in fish, and that by giving the boats place to tie up considerable business could be di- verted to the town.

in the excitement and nervous strain of earning living. I can testify that a blind man can take part in the work and play of the world and get a mighty good time of it, too.
 You have been soldiers of the New Freedom that shall sweep away all tyrannies from the earth. Now you are soldiers in battle that shall some day free the lives, the minds and the hearts of the unfortunate from an intolerable fate"
 That is the message that Heller Keller, deaf, dumb and blind almost since birth, brought to the blinded soldiers at Evergreen" the Red Cross Institute for the Blind, at Bal timore. As one soldier put it, After hearing that, I don't understand how any of our fellows can want to get out of Evergreen until they have learned all that can be taught here."
 All Americans are familiar with Miss Keller's wonderful career; how she has learned to talk without ever having heard word; how she was graduated from Radcliffe College with honors; and how she has come to occupy an enviable place in the field of writers and educators. But no one will ever know to what extent her teacher, Mrs. Macy Miss Sullivan) has been responsible for her growth A small part of what Mrs. Macy has been to Miss Keller, the Red Cross is trying to be to our blinded soldiers.
 At the dance which was given for Miss Keller much merriment resulted from the inevitable collisions. The terrible fear that the soldiers undergo in standing and stepping out alone is the first difficulty which they expert ence; but learning to relax to the rhythm of the music is going a long way toward making walking easier and helping them regain their sense of balance. They are gradually be coming experts in anticipating ant avoiding "bumps." Miss Keller has learned to dance from the floor vibra tions and from the movements of hel partners.
 Visiting the bowling alley she fount men rolling up as large scores as me1 with perfect eyesight.

The fact that the me1 can swim appealed to her particu larly; and kneeling down on the edg' of the pool in the gymnasium sh

some days killed them"
 The discovery that the Armenians had arms and were planning to use them, enraged the Turks. Every day they increased the torment and, not being satisfied, they decided to drive out the people. Those impris- oned, like thieves, were bound two and two and, bearing heavy burdens, started on the road. This last degree of suffering, hradly an animal could endure"
 When the women refused to be made Moslem, the Turks decided to exile them. After travelling two or three days they began slowly, slowly, ] to renew their evil ways. In the woods thousands of brigands came upon us, like evil men attack us; some of us they killed, some they tied to trees which they set on fire, and some they killed like sheep. Little boys and girls in the forests cried out save us,' but there was no one to hear their voices. Many died so that blood was flowing like a river.
 Sending us from Juruf we came to the desert, where we knew no lan- guage and had no work. At last grad ually becoming used to it, we worked to get bread After terrible sickness and hunger, only I remained of our family of eight.

RTHUR B. GRINDELL, Direc.

\ RTHUR B. GRINDELL, Direc. N tor of Publicity for the North 4 Awestern Division, sailed from Seattle April 10 for Vladivostok, where he will be attached to the Si- berian Commission of the Siberian Red Cross as bushes manager.
 Grindell is a graduate of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, and has had long experience in advertising and exploitation work along the Pacific coast. He left the service of the Mil waukee railroad to become publicity director for this division. For the past five months he has served also as can teen director.
 If I should write everything, all rivers must be ink and the earth paper, and the trees pens," writes an Armenian boy in telling of the depor' tation of his peoples from their homes by the Turks.
 From this boy and his little com. patriots, Dr. John H. Finley obtained accounts of their enforced exile, while he was in Palestine as Red Cross commissioner. These youngsters, in credibly aged by the hardships they have undergone, write phlegatically laconically, almost as if their suffer ing had rendered them insensible, and they were recording cold, impersonal facts. But even in translation, this matter-of-fact account harks back three thousand years in it's style, and might be a story of the wanderings ot the Children of Israel.
 The same boy who uses the pictur esque metaphor above writes his story thus:
 q wish briefly to tell of great suf ferings from the beginning of the wal >-until now in the village of Sivas 1T Gerum. Beginning July 20, 1913, they began to gather our men as soldiers After some months our men, because of great suffering, fled without fooc or water to the mountains. The Turks like lions, surrounded the mountains < with soldiers, and captured the Ar menian men, being very angry witt them, and after imprisoning them fol

earnings. When they saw that the Armenians could turn to whichever side they were drawn they wished to make us Turks. So they changed our names by force and made us Turks.
 Many of us would carry wood on our backs and sell it to get bread, but they would cut the price and give a paper worth five ghouroush which would really be five metallic. Then they would kidnap the girls who went for wood, and so we were tired of this wood business. We were vexed and would say, o God, take away our life that we may be freed also.' When British aeroplanes would fly over Salt we would look up and say, When will you save us?'
 "One day the English came really and saved us from the hands of the Turks and we came to Jerusalem safe and sound, where we went to the or phanage and are living there now, thanks to the Benevolent Association and Mrs. Victoria Arsharoony.'
 Many orphans are housed in homes in Jerusalem, now administered by the American Red Cross. One of these homes, somewhat run down in four years of war, is to be made over. With perfect confidence, one Armenian child declares the Americans will make it "shellaby"-very beautiful. TO make the world more 'shellaby'' for these children will be the purpose Of the foreign relief work which American children through the Junior Red Cross, will carry on. New plans for participation by the Juniors il worldwide humanitarian effort viii establish direct line of sympathy and friendship from America to those whose small lives which have known scarcely any experineces but hardship and fear.
