States. So the situation is acute. And the outward manifestations may mini- mize real conditions. For that reason. administration senators are endeavoring to defend the President against the at tack of the republicans. Senator Lewis, to this end, made notable effort Thursday.
 There is an interesting report (unoffi- cial and unattached) out of Europe, that if the President succeeds in adjust ing all differences and in the formation Of a league of nations," he will be elected first president of that league, and will accept the responsibility through sense of duty This would probably necessitate his residence after 1920 in Versailles

ARMENIANS RETURN HOME

Even now thousands of the homeless and stripped Armenians who were de- ported by the unspeakable Turk two years ago are walking over mountains and passing through all kinds of dan gerous passes hundreds of miles to again ! return to their former prosperous homes, now razed and left deserted in the hope O. at the end of the long, long traii' again establishing their homes and again being able to till their own home soll under the protection. of the newly formed Christian nations
 Cseographcaily. Armenia, the home land of these people, has many advant-
 ages for future development. In an- cient days it consisted of 5oo,ooo square miles of fertile table lands, stretching from the Black Sea and the Caucasus mountains to Persia and Syria The lano rises from the sea until it reaches lever of about S0C0 feet, shooting up in Mount Ararat to a snow-capped peak apout iVoo Iifeet higher than Mont Blanc. The lana is fertile rugged, picturesque, and ricn in rivers. of which the Euphrates, Tigrls, Pison and Araxes are the chief. These empty their waters into the Caspian ana
 Black seas and into the Gulf of Persia SPLENDID LAND It is good grazing land and fine Tor agriculture, producing melons, grapes
 
 tobacco and sugar; while rich deposits
 of coal. silver, iron and other minerals lie undeveloped beneath the surface When the season is at it's height sucn is the productive power of the soil that two melons are said to be camel load.
 This is the home from which the Ar menians have been driven, and to which they are now dragging themselves Tn long
 weary lines hundreds of miles back, and to which they must be restored. To keep them alive in the meantime and to transport them home and help them to start life afresh will cost large amount of money. Americans do not eX- pect to raise it all, but America does ex- nect to raise, by voluntary subscription, the sum of $75O per person-not a great deal for Amer ans to give or them to receive, but enough to make all the dlf- ference between life and death these sorely stricken people in the immediate

Albany, January 4-(Special.) )-The visit of two airplanes and four aviators has been postponed because of the bad wealth CT, according to a telegram received here today by Secretary Henley of the Albany Board of Commerce. The avia- tors got as far as Holly Springs on their trip from West Point, via Memphis to Aibany-Decatur, and were held there be- cause of inclement weather. They will come here later if the weather permits the telegram stated.

America WiU Hear Cry
 or Bible Lands For Aid
Major Stephen Trowbridge, Who Investigated Needs of People, Tells of Conditions Now Existing and O. I'm
 mediate Needs of Starving Population

titudes have already perished, while their mothers stood powerless to help, while their dearest treasures died before their eyes-their own children, for whom they would have given their lives.
 "The very cradle of Christianity IS threatened and America can save H. Upon these children, helped back to nor maI childhood, let us hope. by the gem erosfty of the American people, must de- bend the perpetuation of a race that early accepted Christianity-a race that has been most cruelty persecuted by the barbarous Turks and has gone to Calvary for it's belief"

A cry for immediate and urgent help comes to the people of Alabama for the starving in the Bible lands, through the American committee for relief in the near east. and the committee is confi- dent that Alabama will more than over subscribe it's quota of s2oO.Ooo towards the fund of s3O.OOO,Ooo to be raised in the United States.
 Some interesting facts regarding the real condition of these millions of Ar menians. Greeks, Syrians, Persians and kindred people. the survivors of atroci- ties committed by the unspeakabie Turk, have just been received by friends in Birmingham from Mai stephen Trow- bridge. who investigated the needs of these people at the request of various organizations in the United States.
 Passing near the Damascus gate," he says in one letter, 'I saw many scenes which I shall never be able to blot out from my memory I remember especial ly one group of peasant girls one sunny day scratching in the dust beneath the feed bags of the army mules near an ammunition dump. In the handfuls of dust they gathered up and hastily picked over, there were kernels of oats and barley which they eagerly threw into their mouths.
 Thin, trembling children found their way to the soup kitchen in the Moslem quarter. and stood for hours near. the gates of the city in the hope of receN- ing a bit of bread Some of the most pitiful cases were the aged Sudanese slaves, women whom the well-to-do Turkish families had left behind the night of the evacuation.
 WHAT THEY EAT
 "For months soul and body had been kept together with dry bread and little soup. Do not imagine that we could put any meat in the soup. Salt, rice and water were all that our funds permitted in providing for family of 5000
 Even now while Alabama is preparing to answer the call of the American com mittee for relief in the near east, to re- spond literally during the week of Jan uary 12 to 19, to the call for help, peo- ple all over Persia are falling dead as fast as autumn leaves from the trees. More than 10000 persons have died in the past year in Teheran alone from starvation and the diseases which follow malnutrition.
 It will be recalled that former United States Ambassador to Turkey Henry Morgenthau, on his recent visit to Ala bama alsoa made an earnest plea in be- half of these victims of Turkish bru- tality.
 "The condition of these people is ap- palling" said Mir. Morgenthau. "Four hundred thousand of the starving hosts Of Armenia and Syria are children Null

NO INTEREST IN DECISION

'In a substantial sense, the defendants, Albert S. Burleson and Newcomb Carlton, have no interest in the decision which may be rendered on these questions,'
 adds the governments brief. "The only
 way in which they are affected by an adverse decision is in that they, as rep resenting the United States, cannot con- tnue to maintain the possession of the United States.
 'The possession attacked is actual and is held under color of an authority given by the legislature and executive branches of the government by specific order and the possession cannot be held illegal without deciding that the United States did not give that authority. It is the operations of the United States as an
 actual, possessory proprietor of a system of cables which will be imposed by an effective injunction. . 'The facts alleged do not show the
 prospect of an irreparable injury from the retention of possession by the de- fendants. No destruction of property is imminent and no financial irresponsi- bility is alleged. There is no ground for resort to equity because the remedy at law of an action against the defendants personally for the possession of the prop erty is open"

DIFFICULT QUESTIONS

"The peace conference" Mir Baker said. Undoubtedly faced intricate and difficult geographical and racial questions. It would be conceivably possible, he added, ito make treaties ending this war in the old way quietng it's present discords and dealing with each national claim IS though it were individual and of no com munity interest.
 But we had world organized in ths old way in 1914" he continued. "ln the last months of that year the heavy cur rents of international misunderstanding sWirled together and I know of no more pathetic picture than that of the help lessness of the great and enlightened governments of the world as their states men watched the stream and realized that no provision had been made to stem
 it. Sir Edward Gray in London eX- hausted the arts of traditional diplomacy to gain a moment for reflection; every body saw the horrible magnitude of the impending disaster, but there was no oI ganized opinion of the world. there was no agency through which the sane restraints on humanity and justice could or,prata

BRIEFS IN CABLE PROCEEDINGS ARE | FILED BY COUNSEL Cable Companies Brief Repeats Claims Made in
 Arguments Previous
 ly Presented
By Associated Press


 New York, January 4.-Briefs Tn the proceedings brought by the Commerelaig and Commercial Pacific Cable companies to enjoin Postmaster General Burleson and Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, from merging their lines with those of the Western Union under federal control were filed yesterday with Federal Judge Learned Hand by counsel for both sides The companies brief, signed by Charles E. Hughes and William ~W Cook, repeats claims made in argument before Judge Hand a few days ago. It asserts that federal seizure of the cable lines after signing of the armistice was not needed for national security" that the congressional resolution under which the seizure was made was un- constitutional and that MT. Burleson is not the correct person to determine con- petition for the lines.
 The governments brief contends that the case is not within the Jurisdiction of the court as the United States is vital party and cannot be sued. It also as- serts that Congress had right to au- thorize seizure of the cables and that such action was necessary for national se- curity" as peace has Tot yet been con- Cluded.
