SAVED BY
AMERICAN FLAG.


A few miles out of Kagizman, in the
almost dry bed of the Araxes, Gen. Har-
bords car was stopped by a humble
patriarch offering melons carried by his
son and the latter's strangely beautiful
little girl, dressed in a bundle of rags.
Then the missions forward machines
met wild old man on horseback, who
talked volubly, possibly TO disguise his
spy character.
Following the lonely valley. while
Billy" Poland of the commission for
Belgian relief discoursed on its mineral
richness, next the mission rolled around
1 gigantic bend of the road to behold the
river bottom covered with cattle and
tents of some nomad tribe. Then Mai.
II. W. Clark of Boston declared he heard
shots from the mountainside to the right.
At the same time Gen. Harbord's car was
seen to stop and the truck in the rear
began to hasten speed.
The Harbord car had been stopped by
a much alarmed rifeman dropping to his
knees and starting to fire point blank.
The riiemans gun was showed aside
by a graybearded chieftain when he saw
the American flag borne by the car.
Directly the whole bottom was swarm
ing with a motley throng of tribesmen
dressed in sheepskin turhans. ragged
white shirts overmantled by short jack
cts of dark cloth, armed with long squir-
rel rifles and curiously carved knives or
short swords. In the background stood
their women, all in a group.
Gen. Harbord left his machine and
walked over to the chieftain. an old man
of scrawny beard who proudly gave his
name as Abdi Beg. When he learned the
party was composed of Americans he
told story Of having been driven, to-
gether with his band, from their noun
tain homes by the Armenlans, saying that
now they know not what to do; that
winter was coming on and he feared they
would starve. He had appealed in vain.
he said, to the British and the Turks
and if he thought the American would
come to establish peace he would sacri-
Zee the sheep Of his tribe in q grand feast
Of rejoicing. He gladly offered to let
pass the rear automobiles and took a
note which he said he would deliver when
they came.

HARBORD PARTY
SAVED IN PERIL
BY u. S. FLAG.
Attacked and Detained in Ar
menia by Tartars, but
Not Robbed.
NEAR EAST LAWLESS

NEW YORK, Feb. 20-The attack on
and the detention overnight of the Har-
bord mission to Armenia by bands of
Kurds, Tartars and Turks is illustrative
of the lawless condition existing through
out the Black sea countries. A CORE
Aspondent, who accompanied Gen. Har-
Sord and the American mission, writing
iom Erivan, Armenia. under date of
SsEct. 20, described the experiences of the
arty, saying that while fraught with
RENE danger, the members OF the par
we're neither robbed. stripped of their
pthes and turned adrift to make the best
( their way to some friendly city, nor
wen killed, as happens to other cara
ans, because of the magic name of
.tmerica 1t was the mind of Shamil Beg,
:hieftain of the nOmad band intrenched
against the Armenians at the village of
Kulp. which saved the lesser members
of the mission from the customary fate
of captured caravans.
Shamil Beg came to the knowledge of
the mission members after this fashion.
For three weeks they had been travelling
from Constanhnople, intent on really see
ing the lands of Asia Minor, as these
lands have probably not vet been seen
by outsiders. They had come up from
dusty Aleppo by train across the north
strip of the shimmering Mesopotamian
desert. until reaching Mardin. the mag
nificent stone city set upon a mountain.
There the seven automobiles Of the party
had been taken off the fat cars of the
Bagdad railway. and after countless adj
ventures with impossible roads, bridg
ing the unbridged Euphrates and the
Tigris, Ginning and descending the Tau
rus range OF moutains which gradually
climb thrice their height to the plateaus
of Ararat, the party crossed the Turkish
frontier into Russian Asia Minor. or Ar
menia, as parts of the country are now
called.

"DO CHIROPRACTORS
BELIEVE IN GERMS?'
By r. B. BLEAN, ID. C.

That GERMS exist is certain
knowledge. but that they are the
cause of disease is quite different
ories of disease, viz; ChRopractic,
germ and bi-chemic are mutually ex-
elusive. They may all be wrong, but
they cannot all be right.
The germ theory was promulgated
| by a German, DR.. Koch. in 1882, and
is by no meaps generally accepted by
medical men or scientists. In fact
some OF its strongest oponents are
medical men who marshal the most
controvertible facts with unassailable
logic, while the great general pubIc
have for centuries lived, laughed and
loved in perfect ignorance and disre-
gard of the theory.
| 1t is the Sdictum of science that we
live in sea of life and that in every
drop of water, in every breath of air
| and every bite of food there are myr-
iaGs of kerms.
| l. germs cause disease, it follows
that the introduction of germs into
the living organism would produce
disease in every case.
The instances that prove this un-
true are so legion that the germ the
| orists have been compelled to ex-
plain that the germs are impotent
funless the power Of resistance of the
patient is subnormal. For instance
some people can not be successfully
vaccinated that they die. Germ
Theorists" explain the susceptibility
of the patient is the measure OF his
power of resistance.
Power of resistance may be meas
ured in terms of life current Or vi
tality. The stronger the life current
the greater the resistance and, vice
versa the weaker the lfe current the
weaker the resistance. So we may
conclude that where 100 per cent of
life current, or vitality, exists, the
susceptibility is zero, and where SO
per cent exists the resistance is small
and the susceptibility corresponding
ly great.
1t requires but little reasoning
from these facts to conclude that
those who contract typhoid, for in
stance, owe their suScetibility to a
lack of vital force in the bowels, and
those who contract tuberculosis,
pneumnia, ETC., to a lack of resist
ance in the lung TISSUE and so thru
the entire list of germ diseases.
Chiropractic goes several links
farther back lin the chain of cause
and effect. While the germ theorists
stop at the susceptibility Of the pa
tient, the Chiropractor says that the
susceptibility is the result Of a lack

No clearer demonstration Of the
relative merits of antipodal theories
could be given than THAT furnished
by the statistics of the recent "fu"
