EAT HUMAN FLESH
Tales of Horror Among
Starving Armenians Veri-
fled by Americans.
BY LOUIS EDGAR BROWNE.
Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1919.


CONSTANTINOPLE, Turkey. May s
(delayed) is the grue-
some title of the latest chapter in the
history of Armenia's dire distress.
Half a million Armenians, half of
whom fed from Turkey prior to the
retreat of the Russian army, are now
concentrated in the regions of Erivan,
Alexandropol and Kars. living in the
ruins or wandering over the country
side. Clad in vermin-infested rags
and tatters, these miserable people
scratch the ground for roots and COM
mon grass for food.
The half million people are starving,
for roots and grass contain little
nourishment, serving only slightly to
postpone the day of death. Hundreds
are dying daily. Refugees lie down in
the fields to rest their emaciated
bodies and, lacking the strength to
arise, die Slowly. They stag
ger about aimlessly. grinning perpet-
ually. 1t is a grin that won't come
off. The facial features are distorted
by hunger. until the grin becomes
hxed-petrified, as it were. The lips
are so tightly drawn that they can
not be drawn over the teeth. the bod
les are shrunken, the eyes protrude
until they seem about to pop out and
the skin is withdrawn from the eye
balls, giving these walking corpses
such terrible appearance that one
cannot bear to look at them.

Homeward Bound

An announcement appearing in the
Huronite states that five transports
left France January nth, bringing
home U. S. soldiers. Among them is
the Gath division, which is composed
of northwest troops, including Troop
G., a Huron organization composed
mostly of boys from Huron and sur-
rounding counties.
Several from this county enlisted in
this company, Isaac Wyland, Cole
Stratton, Clare Hull, two DeGeest boys
and possibly one or two more, but
some have been transferred to other
divisions, so it is not thought that all

They are on the troop ship General
Goethals, which is due to arrive at
New York on January 21st The men
will be sem to Camp Grant, ILL.,, for
rehabilitation.

STATE Law MAKERS
START SESSION
Several Laws Have Been introduced
BY Both Bodies

The 1919 session Of the state legis-
lature has about finished it's work of
organizing and will be working with
its usual speed next week. The senate
committees have all been appointed,
but the House committees have not yet
been reported. Senator Charles Gard
ner of Hand and Hyde counties, is a
member of the following: Apportion-
ment, Banks and Banking, Legislative
Expenses. Rural Credits and chairman
of Fish and Game.
The first bill introduced in the Sen
ate was by Miller, of Beadle. authoriz-
ing cities and towns to invest surplus
funds in Liberty Bonds and govern
ment securities. Costain, of Beadle, in
troduced a similar bill in the House.
II is reported that the state bulge;
for the next two years will be six
million dollars, a million increase ove
the preceding two years.
A Non-Partisan member from a
northern county started a discussion
regarding taxation of railroads, Pull
man cars and refrigerator cars, and
was shown that laws already on the
statutes assessed them higher than the
proposed North Dakota law. He had
his instructions from North Dakota, so
would not see that legislation along
this line had already been made.
A meeting was called of the Nom
Partisans of both houses. but was not
very we'll attended, so it was decided
not to attempt to introduce any of
their program at this time

One Years Crop in Hand
County Pays For Land

Memo, Jan. 13.-What can be ac-
complished on the average South Da-
kota farm during these days of high
prices for farm products is shown by
the experience of Henry Kost, of this
city, who owns a ranch in Hand coun-
ty, which is being looked after 0y an
Their man on shares. Kost made a
profit of over $500 OH fax from forty
acres, for which he paid 81 per acre
for breaking and S. per acre for seed
fax, the more than $500 profit repre-
senting only one-half the crop. One
third of the oats from forty acres gave
him a profit of $3.50, and in addition he
sold a number of cattle in the fall
from the ranch, for which he received
$125.25 per head. His third interest
in the corn crop raised on the ranch
in 1918 brought him more cash per
acre than he paid for the land five or
six years ago.
