TAlaat Pasha. the head Of the
Turkish government, did not merely
allow the destruction OF the Armeni.
ans. but boosted that he sanctioned
the determination and that he had
ordered it. Ambassador Morgenthau,
who repeatedly protested against
the inhuman proceedings in Armenia,
says in the Worlds Work.
The definite conviction which
these conversations with Talaat left
upon my mind was that Talaat was
the most implacable enemy OF this
prosecuted race. He told me that
the union and progress COMMITTEES
had carefully considered the matter
in all It's details and that the policy
which was being pursued was that
which they had Officially adopted.
He said that l must not get the idea
that the deportations had been de-
'cided upon hastily: in reality they
were the result Of prolonged and
careful elaboration. To my repeated
appeals that he should show mercy
to these people. he sometimes re-
sponded seriously, sometimes angri-
ly, and sometimes flipantly: 81
I'VE have been reproached,' he
said, according to this interviewer.
for making no distinction between
the innocent Armenians and the
guilty; but that was utterly impos-
sible, in view OF the fact that those
who were innocent today might be
guilty tomorrow
It is no use for you to argue.
Talaat answered, we have already
disposed Of three-quarters of the
Armenians; there are none at all
left in Bitlis, Van, and Erzerum. The
hatred between the Turks and the
Armenians is now so intense that
we have got to finish with them. II
we don't, they will plan their re-
venge.
I've base our objections to the
Arm enians on three distinct grounds.
In the first place, they have enriched
themselves at the expense Of the
Turks. In the second place, they are
determined to domineer over us and
to establish separate state. In the
third place, they have openly en-
couraged our enemies. They have
assisted the Russians in the eau
casus and our failure there is largely
explained by their actions. We have.
therefore, come to the irrevocable
decision that we shall make them
powerless before this war is ended
zone day Talaat made what was
perhaps the most astonishing re-
quest l had ever heard. The New
York Life Insurance company and
the Equitable Life of New York had
for years done considerable business
among the Armenians. The extent
to which they insured their lives was
merely another indication of their
thrifty habits.
Il wish Talaat now said, that
you would get the American life in
surance companies to send US COM

holders. They are practically all
dead now and have left no heirs to
collect the money. 1t, OF course, all
escheats to the state. The govern
ment is the beneficiary now. VIII
you do so?'
"eYou will get no such lists from

menians was summed up in the
proud boast which he made to his

THE RETURN OF CREEL.

Creel is coming back from Paris, is coming
right away, and it is possible to read between
the lines that he is coming in what is coloquial-
ly called huff. He is quoted as saying that
his work abroad is finished, but what he went
there to do or what he turned his hand to on
arrival are both involved in doubt He said
one thing. Sisson, his chief subordinate in
Paris, said another. The country as a whole.

know was that he was there presumably under

CABBAGEs VS.. KINGS.

If Robert Louis Stevenson were alive he
would revise that quatrain of his about the
happiness of kings. Kings are not particularly
happy these days, not even well-meaning, harm
less monarchs. There is a growing feeling even
lin Holland against royalty, and it may come to
pass that Queen Wilhelmina may be RELOCATED
Ito private life. There are mutterings against
monarchial fgureheads in Spain, Sweden and
Denmark. About the only geographical spots
today where kings are really happy are Eng
land and Italy. Albert, of Belgium, doubtless
is secure in his kingship, but because of the suf
ferings of his people and the devastation of his
country his outlook is sorrowfully gloomy For
q long time to come the world is going to be
interested in ships rather than in sealing wax
IN cabbages rather than in kings.
Two days before the British army reached
Cologne the chamber Of commerce of that city
issued a bulletin in which was stated "its sor-
row over the peace steps recently TAKEN In
the same document was expressed the hope that
|" destruction OF Belgium 8 and north France IS
industry will at least allow rapid regeneration
iof Germany's international power Now this
lis the sort of thing that will thwart any attempt
by Germany or any other power to ameliorate
the French spirit of demand that Germany be
made to pay in full for her havoc 1t obtrudes
crassly the ugl y fact that Germany wrecked the
industry of two nations that she feared indus
trially in order to profit after the war directly
at their expense. Before any league to enforce
peace engages the first attention of Belgium and
France, those nations will ask that Germany
pay for the mischief she has done.

The Weather-Man kept his
promise of fair day which he had
predicted since Monday and no more
ideal day for county fair could be
imagined. The air was snappy, with
just enough chill to keep the crowd
moving. And how they did enjoy
themselves. Grandpop, grandma, pa
and ma and all the kids were there.
They came by automobile, horse and
buggy, bicycles and shanks mare. 1t
was any way to get there. Sheriff
Worthen and the Local Police were
out il force and their handling of the
big crowd was q marvel of efficiency.
From 0 o'clock to 1 p. m., there was
steady line of automobiles from
ST. Johnsbury station over the mile
and a half of road to the fair grounds
entrance. At every few hundred
yards traffic man kept the machines
moving in excellent order.
Tomorrow is another big day. The
racing will be the best ever seen in
this section. The crowd will probably
equal that of today.

be desired. President George Cary

HOW SAVINGS HABIT
HELPS EVERYBODY
Money Invested Thls Year In Thrift
Stamps Returns In Five Years
Vastly Increased.

On New Years day 1923, there will
dend payments to American people.
Hundreds Of millions Of dollars of
War Savings Stamps sold during 1918
will then be redeemable. On each
News Years day thereafter for a mum.
Der of years there will undoubtedly
be huge returns to the American PEG
pie of the money borrowed with IN.
terest.
These great dividend days bring
American bankers new opportunities
and also responsibilities. How can
new thrift habits be linked to thrift
institutions? How can this money,
the product Of thrift, be nobilized fof
further work?
Already the bankers are working
with the Treasury Department To
continue thrift habits. For people who
save money there Is a wide range OF
thrift institutions that will take
charge of funds, put them to work
safely, and return good earnings. AS
the government plans to borrow by
general education of thrift in every
kind, SO the banks and thrift institu.
tons can aid the government by en-.
ceuraging general thrift and building
bigger business themselves.
One of the first steps to be taken by
bankers is that Of spreading tnforma'
ton about banks, life insurance, build.
ing and loan associations. federal farm
loans, and all other thrift institutions.
The best way to meet Unc3e Sans
borrowing needs Is to promote thrift
on the broadcast possible lines.
Every dollar deposited In . servings
bank becomes avsilable for national
finance. Every life insurance policy
sold Lis equivalent to an indirect loan
to the government. Every obligation
assumed by thrifty people such as
building mortgage Is stimulus to
production and saving, and therefore.
as much a national service as the d.
rect purchase Of government securt
ties. In placing these matters clearly
before everybody In his community
the banker win live up to his opportu-
mites and his responsibilities in the
new thrift movement When the bill
lion dollar New Year Days arrive no

Ionden's Holy Well.

London's holy well may, after all,
still be In existence. John Diprose,
printer and historian Of st. Clements
Danes, investigated the many rival
claims put forward as to It's site, in
Guiding Lyons Inn, the old Dog tavern
in Holywell street, and part Of the site
Of the law courts. and found 10 evf.
dence to support any Of them.
He suggested that the holy well
might be identical with the we'll COW
cred by the stone-built house in st.
Clements churchyard looking like a
burial vault above ground.
This, an inscription tells US, was
erected in 1889 ito prevent people

we'll which Is 121 feet deep, with 100

The ManQrove.

The mangroye tree, specimens OF
which are in the Arnold Arboretum,
the tree museum of Harvard univer-
sity, has a very interesting method OF
sending its seeds or fruits into the
world. Growing as 1t usually does In
shallow water, 1t Is necessary for the
young fruits actually to begin growing
before they leave the parent plant.
The fruit, which resembles large In
vrrteu berry, sends out large leaves
at its upper end and long root, some
times Is inches in length, from the
lower end, while yet attached to the
parent plant. Then as If by magic,
the parent plant drops It into the mud
where the plant aready growing begins
to develop into larger plant and soon
is firmly established. II 1t were not
prepared Immediately to begin to grow
