Cobblers are bringing about the same,

when potato prospects began to look

10000 Armenian
Girls Prisoners
In Turkish Harems

Tiflis, Armenia, Sept. Is, via Paris
Oct. 2.-(By MaiD-Turkish Arme-
MAN refugees whose daughters
were saved from death for a life Of
slavery in Turkish harems. have ap-
pealed to the American Red Cross
for aid in obtaining their freedom
1t is estimated by officials of the Ar
menian government that 10000 girls
are thus held in slavery. An execu-
tive committee to arrange plans for
their liberation has been named and
will start work at once.
These girls. daughters Of refugees
from Van and Bitlis regions, disap-
peared during the massacres of 1918.
Nothing was heard of them for
months and it was believed they had
been slain by the Turks.
Recently pitiful appeals for liber-
alton have been coming from them
from the Turkish harems of Anato.
liza and European Turkey. Most Of
the girls declare that they have not
changed their religion.
Colonel Haskell, high commission
err Of the Allies to Armenia, has been
appealed to for military aid. No
definite answer has yet been given
but he is hopeful of being able to
offer a show Of force as a back
ground for diplomatic negotiations.
The American Red Cross has been
asked for financial backing neces-
sary for the work of liberating the
women.

Something Not Needed.

There is virtue in German operas.
There is grandeur of conception,
beauty and dignity of melody and
finish of detail. as there may be in
any music drama. But just now
German opera is something we can
do very we'll without in this country.
Other operas are as good and better
and there are enough of them to fill
all needs. Why inject new discord
into our muddled national symphony
when it can be avoided?
The recent production in New York
of an obscure operate production
cannot be termed a success. Most
strong-minded Americans will term
it nothing less than a stupid attempt
to revive Prussianism by forcing it
on US with a club. 70 those who
have lost dear ones on European bat
tlefelds it seemed an insult, far more
cutting than the importation Of Ger
man goods might be. Germany must
be allowed to live and earn the marks
to pay her war debts. About merely
commercial enterprises not much sem
timent ever gathers. To be depend
ent on the barbarous Hun for enter
tainment and artistic inspiration is
too much. Those who can't exist
without German opera would do we'll
to migrate to Germany.

Editorial Comment
Which Road for Labor?

(From the Chicago Evening Post
The right of labor to organize and
the collateral right of collective bar
gaining are no longer in controversy.
These rights have been recognized
not only by the courts of law but by
that greatest court of all-public
opinion.
Nevertheless. organized labor
stands today at the parting of the
ways. Listen to any group of citi-
zens anywhere-on the street, in
cars and hotel lobbies-and you will
be convinced Of the fact. Labor,
conducting a victorious offensive
for so long. is now on the defensive
This is unfortunate. but the cause
is not far to seek.
Labor has been put in the position
either through radical leaders or
inherent radicalism-of converting
collective bargaining into the old
game of Heads win. tails you
lose" Labor. with some notable ex-
ceptions, has been alert to make bar
gains, but loath to keep them If
they proved bad; and to such
pass has this reprehensible practice
come that certain unions no longer
take the trouble to apologize for con-
tract breaking.
The worlds business is done on
credit and 'credit" is only a COM
mercial renderiIc Of faith" No
body Of men. any more than an in
dividual. can hope to prosper
through faithlessness. They may
have all else in their favor, but IL
they fail to keep the faith. the pub
lie will have none of them.
This is the heyday for radicalism.
The whole world seems. in many re-
spects. to have sloughed Off its sense
of responsibility, and labor unions
have naturally suffered likewise. 1t
is scarcely to be expected that they
will find their poise before the rest
OF humanity find theirs.
Yet, excluding morality from con-
alteration and bearing expectancy
