DRIVE FOR ARMANIA
CONTINUED from page One.l

tremity Of despair in Armenia and syr.
la. Word comes that children in the
streets were found picking the flesh
from a dead camel and eating 1t be-
cause they could find no other food. A
small boy brought his sister to a relief
station after walking many miles. His
mother ana father were dead and he
tried hard to get help. Not many
hours later he died from exhaustion
and starvation. A father and mother
threw themselves in the river and were
drowned just after the death from star
walton of their baby. The dead lie in
the streets with no one to b. them.
They lie in crumBling houses in out
of way corners. Children are given
bread and they clutch it in their hands
refusing 10 eat, moNSing that they will
be hungry again tomorrow. They go in
to delirium still clutching the crust.
Blood from slaughter houses is being
consumed. From the Bosphorous 10
the Euphrates there is hardly a sail
on the sea hardly village on the
shores.
The Armenian women are said to
be sensitive, gentle and refined and
have been Christians since the fourth
century. Many Fairmonters say they
did not realize that this was class Of
people representing art and litera
ture. The great picture called
"Chaos" in the vatican was painted
by an Armenian.
An interesting fact was brought
out in one of tho talks given in this
city to tho effect that the green on
our bills was made in manner in
vented by an Armenian. No counter
feiter has ever been able to copy this
green.
An interesting meeting at Fairview
last evening was held with ]. Walter
Barnes and Rev. c. NJ. Coffman as
speakers. Reason Fox sang a solo.
A splendid representation there
promised to use every energy toward
making the campaign a success.
Everybody and every section is in
good shape for the drive except out
lying districts. Teachers of schools
in these places will be expected to
use all influence possible for the cam
paigfn there as the roads are so bad
speakers cannot reach them. All the
churches and every missionary soci-
ETY. in the city promises the utmost
of help. Do your part when the time
comes.

NIKE BARRY Talks
TO EDGENONTERS

More than two hundred people at q
meeting OF the Edgemont Improvement
Society heard Mike Barry, returned
marine, tell about the thrilling expert.
ences Of his company during the great
drive toward the Rhine. Mr.. Barry is
a popular resident Of Edgemont and
for that reason his address was Of spe-
cial interest to the people Of that com.
munity. With characteristic modesty
Mr.. Barry seldom spoke Of himself
but referred to his company as having
done certain things. However, 1t Is
told OF him that when he went to
France he was asked to work in the
commissary department. He replied,
Il didn't como all the way over here
to France to cook; came here to help
lick the d Hun and l am going to
do II" and he didn't come back until It
was over over there"
Mr.. Barry said one of the character.
istics Of American fighting was that
the American soldiers allowed the Ger.
man soldiers to get within so short
distance Of them before firing that ev.
cry bullet found a German. This was
new method of fighting and the
French marveled at it.
He said he never had hand to hand
fight with German because he never
allowed one to get close enough.
For four days he went without wa.
ter and although he sometimes had
nothing to eat for a longer period, he
never got hungry for, he said, he was
scared too badly. For twenty-one
days, he went without a shave, wash
or change OF clothing.
He refrained from relating any per.
sonal experiences although he said he
had enough to keep him talking for
hours.
In conclusion he remarked that he
would not take ten thousand dollars
for his experiences but that he would
not pass through 1t all again for ten
thousand dollars.
OF the six who left Fairmont with
Mr.. Barry, three we're killed, two were
wounded and one was made prisoner
by the Germans.
Music for the evening was furnished
by the Edgemont choir. Refreshments
were served by the ladies of the socie-
ty.

Taxi Stands Ruled
Out by the Mayor

Mayor Bowen has ruled that here.
after no taxi drivers and owners may
keep cars standing on streets waiting
Tor passengers. The cars must bs

that persons will call for one on the
phone and that it is not necessary to
keep these taxis on the streets where
they obstruct the traffic. Taxis will
be permitted to meet incoming trains
but that is all.

ARIZONA RkS TWO
 HUTS IN FRANCE

PhoeniX-A message from c. $. Biheimer, director Of the United War Work Campaign for the Southern De- partment, and who is now in France, has come to s. E. Lynd, state direc- ter cf collections for Arizona, saying:
 One of the victory huts in France will be named after the state of Ari- zona because you were one of the first g1 cup of states to reach it's assigned quota in the recent campaign.
 "A seccnd hut will also be named after yCur state because you secured the highest percentage of oversup- scriptions of any state in the union.
 All of us identified with the cam raign in the southern department re- iCice because of this honor given to Alizcna.
 This certainly should give us al renewed determination to keep up the standard of our state by securing 1C0 "er cent in collecting the princely sum of S595,00O, so freely pledged du'' our campaign" says Director Lynd.
