ugees in the Caucasus region, accord
ing to a telegram sent TO Herbert

near east, who is in this city.
Mr.. Heinz has returned from trip

He adds food for 100000 in that ter
ritory will have to be provided by
outside sources for another year.
1.-The lack of food is so serious"
says the telegram. that the women
are forced to go into the fields and
obtain grass roots which they cook
into kind of broth and serve as
boiled green's, occasionally getting
bit of rice to mix with 1t. This con
stitutes the principal diet of many.
The little children natur>lly get the
worst of this situation, because they
cannot eat such material, and 1t ie
among the children that the death
rate is the highest"

ance bureau, through which 10000

ARKANSAS WINS BOUNDARY
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
FaVoring Arkansas Against
Mississippi.

Washington.-The state of Arkan-
sas by an opinion rendered in the SUI
preme court won its boundary suit
brought against the state of Missis-
sippi for the purpose of determining
the line between those two states in
the vicinity OF Horseshoe Bend.
The suit was instituted in 1914 as
an original proceeding and resulted
from the action OF the Mississippi
river in changing it's course. In dis
posing Of the case the supreme court
sustains in general terms Arkansas
contention that the middle OF the
main navigable channel OF the river
IS the present boundary line. The
court announced a commission will be
appointed to determine the boundary
line and to report it's findings to the
court.

dress To Washington and
Secure Checks.

Washington, d. CA large number
OF $50 bonus checks are waiting to be
claimed by boys who were formerly
in the United States army and navy
This money was provided by congress
for army and navy officers, enlisted
men. field clerks and nurses TO be paid
to them upon their release from ac-
tive service All of those discharged
from the service on or after March 2
have been given the bonus money
with their final pay, but those who
left the colors before that date have
been compelled to make application
fer the bonus.
1t has been necessary for all of the
men to send in their original dis
charge or release papers with their
application, and also to furnish their
addresses. In some instances it has
been difficult for the departments to
decipher the addresses-the names
they could verify from the discharge
papers that were forwarded at the
same time. Other reasons have aid
ed in preventing prompt delivery be-
ing effected, and the letters addressed
to the men in the following list have
been returned to Washington with the
announcement that the reason for
nendelivery was that the letters were
unclaimed"
The army and navy departments
are anxious that these men shall get
the money due them. and also the
discharge papers or releases, as the
case may be. for these are very pre-
cious souvenirs and the men will
want to keep them. In an announce
ment recently it was stated that the
checks would be remailed to the men
upon the receipt of an application
from each, stating the writer's full
name and correct address, together
with the date and place Of his enlist
ment and discharge.

DIVIDING TURKISH EMPIRE
Experience Shows Error of War De.
partment in Estimating Troop
Movements.

hington-General March, chief
Of staff of the army, announces that
experience in troop transport during
the war was shown that estimates
made by the war department in 1915
as to the possibility of a foreign ma.
ton landing troops in the United
States were entirely too high.
These estimates, Gen. March said,
included 1000 men in 16 days by
Germany; 404 600 by France in the
same time; 100000 by Austria and
238,000 by Japan. These were based
on calculation Of \ transport max
ing a round trip every thirty days
whereas experience proved that thir
ty-five days was required for even
the fastest of the transports and 20
days for cargo ships.
