TOWNLEY STYLED A KAISER
BY NORTH DAKOTA BANKER

Bismarck, N. D., June 13.-Addres-
sing the Slope group Of the North Da-
kota Bankers association yesterday
Jas. E. Phelan, president Of the First
National Bank of Bowman, declared
North Dakota had "acquired a kaiser
and a general staff and was now hell
bent on the road to greatness.
One of the elements of this pros
pective greatness, he stated, was the
wiping out Of the independent press,
"while at great headquarters the gen
eral staff will select one subservient
paper in each county as the official
organ representing the kaiser and gen.
eral staff, independent of the people
Furthermore, the general staff is pro-
vided with $2OO,O 900 without any string
to it, to spread propaganda and en-
ploy satellites to induce immigration
and, incidentally, to encourage emigra-
ton"
He declared, $50 far as the state
owning mills and elevators go, go tc
it. If the people sustain it and ap.
prove state competition with individ-
ual industry the trial will be; made.
The bankers questioned the ability
of the bank of North Dakota to fl
nance the states huge grain crop OF
to assume a very large part Of the
states mortgage indebtedness.
Referring to the original intent Of
the bank of North Dakota he said;
ut seemed the purpose of the original
promoters of the bank of North Da:
kota to come into the banking fielc
as a rival and direct competitors Of
the existing banking systems.

SOUTH DAKOTA CROP
ESTIMATE HIGH

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 12.-lm-
portant information o. the present
condition of crops in South Dakota
is contained in a report of the feder-
al bureau of crop estimates.
The report states that with condi-
lions as of June /, South Dakota gives
promise of producing an aggregate of
6 3 1888 900 bushels of wheat for the
present year, providing present condi-
lions are not seriously changed.
The estimate of the total wheat pro-
duction is based on 1862 bushels per
acre as the prospective yield. The re-
port says this: "Such an enormous
production exceeds the early estimates
of 1918 by more than 100000 bush
els, and that years wheat crop was
the banner crop in the history of the
state"
The report states that the rye crop
in South Dakota has deteriorated II
virtually all counties where produced
The crop is reported to be generally
headed, but is extremely patchy ant
seems to have been carelessly planted
in stubble fields, being weedy ant
thin. The condition is placed at 9:
per cent, which indicates a production
of 9,16O, 900 bushels.

GIRL RELATES STORY
OF TURK BRUTALITY

New York, June 13.-One of the
most pitiful stories of savagery prac-
ticed by the Turks or Circassians up
on the Armenians deported during the
war from their homes into the
try of the Arabs is told by Victoria
Varshabdian, a girl of 18 years. Her
story has been made public here by
the American committee for Armen-
ian and Syrian relief. The girl was
the daughter of a well-to-do merchant
who had a shop in Constantinople and
another at Nevsher, Turkey, where
the family lived.
In her narrative to a British physi-
clan she said that her father and four
brothers were deported and that her
father died while on the journey from
a blow inflicted by a gendarme. Car
rying their little fortune of $4,000
in gold, they were marched south to
the vicinity of Dier-Es-Zor (probably
on the Euphrates river). There they
found a great congregation of ref
ugees, said to number 1000 families.
While at Deir-Es-z}or, Murad or
Suvar, the girl said twenty Armenian
priests were taken from among the
refugees, bound together, sent away
and killed. In the river at Suvar she
saw one hundred bodies of men, wo-
men and children, some with their
heads off.
After collecting a ransom, the mutes
sarif ordered the men of the refugees
brought before him Ito sign a paper"
The next day she said she saw the
Circassians shoot down 300 of them
Then the mutessarif, Zeki Bey, order
ed nine of the bodies of the Armen.
ians placed in the road and drove his
carriage over them. He announced
that he would kill all the male refu'
gees over two years old. Up to thai
time her brother had escaped deatl
by bribery but he was taken ava!
with the others. Her brother wa
shot before Victoria's eyes.
She declared also that she saw Ar
menians killed by driving woodel
stakes through them, that two wer
buried alive by the Arabs and tina
, eventually the Circassians began t
: kill all the women and children wit
= their knives.
Afterward Victoria was separate
from her mother and sent to the ten
5 of an Arab where she remained tw
weeks. In that period, she said, sh
saw 200 small boys from Meskene
}, brought through Deir-Es-Zor to Sha
dadieh and saw these children kille
: in various ways and thrown or kicke
y into the river.
She escaped from the Arabs ten
was recaptured by the Arabs with tw
other girls from Harput but later wa
s allowed to go her way. After a yea
and a half she reached Aleppo whe1
her story was told. She has been il
formed that her mother and one brotl
err escaped from the Circassians {

BIG NAVY IS NEEDED TO
HELP POLICE WORLD

Washington, June III hope that
our entrance into the league of nations
will not be used as a subterfuge for
economy in the navy, because no one
can now tell just what part we are to
play in the future domination Of world
peace, and l shall always contend that
the policing of the seas shall never
again be left alone to England, but
that we must share equally in this
honor and expense, gun for gun, man
for man, ship for ship, with the great
est naval power on the EARTH"
So said Representative Fred A. Brit
tain, of Illinois, n of the foremost
naval authorities in congress and
chairman of the subcommittee on
yards and docks of the house naval
affairs committee, to your correspond
ent.
"The claim that England is the un-
disputed mistress of the sea should
forever be like water that has passed
the mill. America must take her
stand, if not as mistress, at least as
the equal Of any power on earth on
the sea as we'll as on the land.
81 was astonished when Secretary
of the Navy Daniels informed the
committee that the three-year build
ing program which was used as a big
stick to drive the nations of the world
into the league Of nations was to be
abandoned, especially in view of the
fact that he recently said that ours
should be incomparably the best in
the world. 1t was the idea of naval
enthusiasts that America was to be
second to no nation in building, not
for military but for peace purposes in
the protection of our vastly increasing
commerce on the high seas.
81 am quite sure that the American
public will not countenance a slash
ing of naval appropriations merely in
the interests of economy. The high
est efficiency in this arm of our ma
tional defense from now on should be
maintained irrespective of what the
government does with a national army
l will not stand for the placing of bat
tleships that are a cost to the tax
payers of hundreds Of millions of dol.
lars in reserve where they will rot
away. l believe that a navy known
to the world to be in excellent fight.
ing: condition is a greater safeguard
for peace than a large navy in reserve
under skeleton crews and partially
trained personnel, unfit for immediate
action. The practice of economy is q
fine thing. in this day of heavy taxa.
ton, but the people of the country will
insist upon a first class navy, man.
ned with sufficient force to insure
the safety of our commerce and hon.

WASHINGTON'S WHEAT

wheat production of 57,775,OOO BUSH

agent of the bureau of crop estimates.
Acreage this season is 2,573,000, as

Sarajevo, 1919, headquarters of the
American Red Cross and the other
relief expeditions that are binding up
the wounds of the war-worn Balkans.
What tremendous events crowded
the five brief years between these two
happenings in the ancient city! But
in the city itself the four years and
a half of warfare have brought little
physical change. Except for a small
district near the Serb border, Bosnia
and Herzegovina were not a battle
ground and consequently there was
no destruction of property. Indeed,
except for wounded and sick Bosnian
soldiers returning from Germany and
Austria, and the presence of allied
troops and relief workers, report
travellers, one hardly realizes the coun-
try has been at war.
