The first part of the services were
held in the village school. There a
report was made on each individual
soldier from~Collamer. as to the time
he entered the service. his duties, 20
cation at that time and anything he
might have said about the service and
his home while AWAY. This recital
was made by some member of his
family, father or mother, brother or

a short ~dedicatory address by A. r.
Fleck, county superintendent; explana-
tory remarks by Mrs. Oca Jellison,
principal of the school whose husband
was then in action in France: and
prayer by Rev. Cyrus .Fieck. Then
the audience marched outside and
formed a hollow square around the
fence inside of which the tree had
been placed; and as each one passed
inside he or she took one of the spades
and placed a spadeful of dirt around

who carry the food and tenting. The

One part of the country Is especially
interesting to those of us who have
visited the cliff dwellings of South
western Colorado and In New Mexico,
for at Vardzia, a city of remote an
tiquity which the Armenians believe
to have been founded in the twelfth
century by n of the kings as a sum-
mer home for his daughter who later
became queen, one finds evidences of
the same life and civilization as is
seen in these cliff houses of Western
United States. The history of our
own ruins is unknown and there is
absolutely no way of finding anything
about them as they must have existed
long before history touched our part
of the world. One thing Is certain,
and that is that the masonry of this
cave-like home of the thirteenth CEN
fury Armenian queen and that of the
Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde Park, New
Mexico, are exactly the same. Both
ruins are hung in the perpendicular
walls of a canyon and to reach them
one must climb over huge boulders
and up crude ladders. The history of
the one in Armenia is well preserved,
and one may follow a guide through

SLAMS. The religion of the inhabitants
OF the Roman part attracted people
to the Roman half, and on seeing this
Christian emigration the Persians ap-
pointed q native Armenian prince, who
vas a Christian, to rule over their
section and the people soon found
that 1t was a better government than
that of the Romans. and the dement's
of a high civilization were given to
the people. Such was the environ
ment in which the development of the
Armenian nationality went along con-
temporaneously with the other ma
lions of Europe. The Armenian de-
velopment was signalized by that ele-
mentary consolidation of the people
due to the separation Of the Armenian
from the Greek Church.
In the year sS7, A. D., the Arabs
suddenly appeared on the scene and
proved a formidable enemy, wrestling

joyed peace.

ers, and through their assistance the
Crusaders were enabled to reach An

ever. when the ardor of the Crusaders

the assistance Of the Western Chris
tians and their king was driven from
the throne. The Mussulman came,
and for five hundred years the history
Of the Armenians, crushed beneath
the Persian yoke and struck down by
the sabre of the Turk, suffered one
uninterrupted record Of atrocities. In
1904 the Persian Shah Abbas laid
waste the country and carried off for
ty thousand of the Inhabitants to
Persia and placed them In a certain
section.
The exiled Armenians chung to their
religion with a zeal all the more des-
perate because It was the only link
that bound them to patriotism. They
had a strong sense Of responsibility
and believed in the importance of
moral principles through all their per-
secution. In 1922 a part Of Armenia
was taken from the Persians by the
and incorporated in their EN-
plre. Russia secured some Of 1t in
1928, and in 1878 the Land of the
Bear took possession of a still larger
part of Turkish Armenia. At present

Turks, and the Armenian people are

Modes. Subdued by Alexander the
Great, the country paid tribute to rep

100, b. c., when they revolted against
Antiochus the Great, and for a time
the province was divided. The greater
part of the country being ruled by the
Parthians, except for a brief period of
Persian domination. The most cele-

people they are industrious and in
telligent and have the aptitude of the
Jew l n commercial business, being the
principal merchants in the cities Of
the Far East.
They are noted for their literature
which has a realism, nationalism and
symbolism rarely found among the
nations Of the Far East. Many Of the
men who have been educated in Amer
lean and European universities have
returned home and founded schools
for the poorer classes. They are de-

Family life Is sacred, and from the
days of Tigranes to the present the
women of the family have been held

Foreigners are always welcome to

Gospel was preached to his ancestors
by the first Apostles and that the Ar
