REAL SITUATION
4 IN MEXICO TO THE
HOUSE.COMM|TTEE
Withdrawal Of Two Military Ex-
peditions, He Says, Caused the
Mexicans TO Hold American
Government in Contempt.
CARRANzA GOVERNMENT Is
STRONGLY ANTI-AMERICAN
More Spanish and French in Mex
leo Than Americans, He Says,
and They Arc Treated With
Careful Respect.

Washington, July sk-Wi,ham u.
Mitchell. former manager OF the Bank
Of London In Mexico city. told this
house rules committee today that ths
sending OF two American military ca
peditions into Mexico and their sub
stquent Withdrawal is largely re-
sponsible for the anti-American feel
ing in the southern republic. The
comn.ittee is considering n resolution
authorizing Investigation OF the re-
lations between the two countries.
DO you think that the feeling
against Americans was strengthened
by the belief that America or Its peo-
pie were afraid 10 assert their rights 20
asked a msmber OF the committee
YES" said the witness. Twice
American expeditions entered the
country and then dithdrew.'
The Mexioans then had contempt
for Americans
Yes"
Mr.. Mitchell said there was a
strong ant!-American spirit In The
Carranza administration.
Discussing the mistreatment OF Am
erirans in Mexico. the witness said
the "rlff-raff' In the Mexican army
was largely responsible for depreda-
tions In Mexico. especially In the
Tampico district
Americans are not being treated
with the same consideration as other
I foreigners. the witness said. adding
that Henry T.. Fletcher, the American
ambassador was openly insulted on
the streets OF Mexico City while en-
route to attend the Inauguration oi
. President Carrauza. while the Ger
man ambassador was chccrcd.
MIR. Mitchell disagreed with th'
[ statement before the committee by
/ Ambassador Fletcher yesterday tina
one reason why Americans wer'
grohter sufferers at the hands %

HOW THE TURKS
 TRIED TO RUIN
 LITTLE ARMENIA
FAIR LAND RAvAGED BY MOS. LEMS AND MILLIONS OF
 CHRISTIANS TORTURED.
AND GERMANY APPROVED
Tale of Worlds Greatest Tragedy Told in Ambassador Morganthan's
 Official Report AppalIs World.

It may not be generally known that nations fighting Germany. Tho TuT1n claimed this from the beginning aAd the Germans approved the Turl1sh a&- titsds. When Anvsr rasha and thA others of that re1-AanAsd crew ct Co1atantiAoDle proposed to "settis the Armenian question" by massacre ing the sRsfrs Armenian natfon, AIn- bassaAor WaAgsnhsam and Gen. Li- man von Sanden of the Germany army, approved the bloody program.
 The Turks assorted that the Ar mcnians wore aiding Russia, and saw to it that Armenian regiments were drivAn to slaughter. This was not killing them fast enough, so rhe Ar menians wore 'disarmed and put to road building, and the Turkish sol. diery was sent to wipe out the Ar menian villages, countryside and city.
 "They are traitors to Turkey and friends of the Allies," said the Turks, when neutral nations, the little help less neutrals protested. It was the Turks longwaited chance, his great opportunity to wipe out a race he nas hated for thousanc years.
 The world was ablaze. France and England were fighting for their lives against the friend of the Turks, the Kaiser of Germany. Now was the 4o toy ho To ct S,f this hated breed of Christians. On this helpless nation was loosed all the hot savagery of the Turkish heart.
 They succeeded so we'll that of all the millions of Armenians, of Greek Christians, and Syrians in the Otto man empire, but 100000 were left alive when the Turks were forced to surrender A little more time and tho Moslem would have finished off tho last of his enemies.
 These allies of ours are now starv- ing We must recall that the Turk himself has said that they were our allies. They must be helped If they are to live. America is being asked to give $30,000,000 10 save their lives Arkansas is asked to contribute $i60,- 900.
 It is not much money as war drives" go and have gone. Bat iu is enough See to it that it is given. Your town and your county have quota during the great Armenian and Syrian Relief Campaign February g. 10 It is not large and it should ba met if there is any pity for Gods own unfortunates left in the heart of America.
 These people in the Near East are dying for help that we can give.

FRIDAY NIGHTS MASQUE
 SOCIAL.

At the pretty northside home of MT. and Mrs. Fred Roesch- CT on Friday evening last the young people of the 1st Pres byterian Church entertained with a most delightful masque social.
 Upon each masqued guest a number was pinned as they entered and a guess card was given and each guest was bid den to guess at who they thought the other masquers were. The size make ups, dresses, etc, were most inter- esting and many surprises were shown at the lifting of masks.
 The evening was a most de- lightful one in every particu- lar.
 Those present were, Misses Dorothy White, Louise Cohn, Lucille Bayne, Nellie White side, Alma Barnett, Ruby Osborne, LoreneCampbell, Elma Pearson, Ruth Gartrell, Annie May Allen, Jodie Trotter and Clara Taylor of Arlington. Tenn, and Messrs. Herman Travis, Fred Starrett, Leslie Barrett, Ike Beyer, Mark Glover and w. D. Fowler, and MT. and Mrs. J. l.. Garrett and Mrs. J. Ross Chambers.

SPLENDID ORGANIZATION
Red Cross Says Armenian and Syrian Relief Campaign Is Necessary.

The question has been asked why the Red Cross does not undertake the relief work in the Near East that Is being done by the American Commit tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief
 The Rcd Cross found the machin- cry of relief already at work in the Near F,ast-the missionaries. who know the people and speak their Ian guages. and all official representa- tives Of the United States had been organized by the American Commit tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief.
 Channels of distribution were well established And the Red Cross ask cd the committee to carry on all re- lief work in the Near East territory. in order that there be neither dupli- cation nor lost motion.
 The campaign to raise s30.o00.o00 in America begins Febnar, 2. Tha quota for Arkansas is s150000 and the amount asked of this county is so small that it will likely be raised on the first day of the campaign.

INTERESTING GEOGRAPHY
Arkansas Pupils Study Holy Land Ir
 Preparation For Relief Campaign.

Pupils in the public schools of some of the largest Arkansas towns will be given a special half-hour les son in the geography of the Near East this month. The county supe4dn- tendents in these counties have en- dorsed the plan and has insrructed the teachers to prepare for the occa- sion and be able to make the lesson instructive and entertaining.
 The innovation is especially time ly because of the Armenian and svr- ian Relief Campaign which will open February 3 and close February 10. The nation will raise $30, 100000 in the brief campaign to relieve the dis tress that prevails in the Hoy LNnd. where moro than 100000 Christians have been rendered homeless and helpless by the Turks. Arkansas has but sl50.oo0 Of this fund to raise. and the quota of each county is smalf.

l ing, the rivers are clear out of their banks and some of the floods are very pretty. The only picture I've taken was of the Marne, near Chateau Thierry, where it was flooding the country for miles on either side of the track. I couldn't get any picture in
 Metz but bought some postals anyway. We arrived in Trieves
 or Trier about 1:30 p. m. after a real fast trip on a German
 express. The train service from
 Nancy to Metz was fierce, but
 from Metz on, fine. The ter
 minal at Metz is a wonderful
 piece of work also, reminds
 one of a big eastern depot in
 Washington or Philadelphia
 tho we had a hard time get ting around, guided by Ger man signs. Just when 1 was getting where could move about in French we moved to Germany and 1 have to start all over again. Any way in Trier the first thing we saw
 when we got off the train was 'our baggage going on to 3Coblenz and to let ones bag gage get out of your sight over here is to lose it, so l got up in the baggage car with three gents. I'd have shot on
 sight two months ago and
 W h o would have d on e better for me no doubt, and
 we argued in French German, English and profane language, the latter was understood best by all, and l got the baggage.

 Roy McCreight, a Brinkley boy who has been in the ser vice of Uncle Sam in the Navy for the past Is months re- turned Friday from New York having received his discharge After entering the service Roy was sent to an electrical school in New York for sever al months and from there en- tered the active service as electrician aboard the monster ship, Leviathan -i formerly the ,Vaterland, built by Germany and taken over by Uncle Sam and so successfully used in the war. It was a wonderful opportunity for Roy to serve his country aboard this mons ter and powerful vessel, which because of it's value as a transport, the chief prize and object of attack for all Ger man boats. There was standing prize of $10,000 of fered by Emperor Wm. to the U boat which would sink the Leviathan. Ten trips, carrying about 11,000 U. s. troops each trip, did the Leviathan make to Europe and Roy McCreight was aboard on 8 of these trips and now comes back to Brink ley a full fledged electrician and veteran of the war. My congratulations to the young man and also to his parents, MT. and Mrs. E. T. McCreight.

Ssassxsssex<Ssesks-4 Dixon called it another victory for the Americans.
 Trieves is a pretty old place and the people don't seem to be in such a terrible condition. Everything seems to be run ming very smoothly. The Ger man soldiers and officers still in uniform and a lot out of uniform salute American of ficers. In a store this evening while l was buying this paper two civilians came in and inn mediately on seeing American officers took off their hats and kept them off until we went out. We went to a picture show, and tho we didn't see Mary Pickford, as we did in Paris, it was a good picture with German characters.
 We have met two officers from the regiment here and find they are up north of here on the Moselle. We are going up tomorrow to Coblenz, then to the regiment.
 l will write you more about Germany next time and then will have more interesting things to tell you.
 Hope to get a lot of mail tomorrow, hope you have been receiving mine better than the regiment has.
 Take good care of yourself and write often. Best wishes for a Happy New Year
 With love,
