Washington, Jan. 29.-The second

of Nations, which In reality will be
the first actual business meeting, will
be held in London probably Feb. 10.
according to dispatches received here.
It is learned that the launching of the
permanent court of international Jus.

hesitation, because this was one Of the
features of the peace program in which
the United States had taken the great
est interest. Elihu Root, former Sec

Known to have been selected as the
American member of an organizing

of the horrors of Turkish masSacres
and deportations Saved by an Ameri
can woman, she has come to this coun-
try and entered Oberlin College.
With her came fourteen other Arme-
n1an girls in charge Of Miss Adelaide
S. Dwight, a Near East Relief worker.
who has been instrumental In helping
to save hundreds Of thousands of their
people from death by starvation. Miss
Dwight, who is not given to exagger-
alton and has seen conditions at first
hand. says more than a million people
are facing death by starvation in Ar.
menia and will perish unless America
aids.
Herself an eyewitness to the slaugh.
ter Of hundreds of helpless women
and children by the Turks and vic
tim of the deporta tons, Miss Dake
sian. an unusually pretty girl. says
there is untold suffering In Armenia
and Syria. She praises the efforts OF
the Near East Relief, formerly the
American Committee for Armenian and
Syrian Relief, to save as many Of
these people as possible. AT Erivan.
the capital Of the Armenian republic,
one hot meal is given out daily. and by
this relief alone the city's death rate
has been cut from thousand daily to
an average of twenty. AT Alexandra
pol, where the refugees from Turkish
Armenia were driven by thousands. the
situation is appalling, Miss Dakesian
says. 1t is to avert these wholesale
deaths that Near East Relief is making
a nationwide appeal for funds.

BOY SCOUTS IN
YOUNG ARMENIA
Strangest Troop of All in Con-
stantinopIe Being Made Into
Good Citizens.

American Boy Scout training Is aid
ing prominently in the rehabilitation
of hundreds of little Armenian boy
refugees from the Turkish massacres,
who have been organized into a scout
troop in Constantinople as the solution
of one of the most troublesome prob
lens that confronted the Near East Re-
lief workers in that city.
Hounded and driven for four years,
having seen their parents and relatives
slaughtered or worse by Turks and
Kurds and themselves forced to beg,
steal or do almost anything to exc out
the barest existence, these boys had
completely lost their moral sense when
they finally found refuge In the Near
East Relief orphanges.
The boys had been clad In rags for
80 long that they had forgotten how to
take care of clothes. This was tragedy
when the Near East Relief had need Of
every pair of shoes and Of every suit
Of clothes for new boys constantly COM
ing in.
Then the boys were organized as
Boy Scouts and given their uniforms.
They began to be careful Of their
school clothes as well as Of their uni
forms.
They had been so often hungry they
had come to steal without compunc-
ton. When they first entered the or
phanages they continued to steal. One
boy stole a purse from his American
teacher. For two or three weeks after
he became a Boy Scout he was obvious
ly uneasy. One day he came to her
with the purse in his hand.
81 don't want to give 1t back" he
said reluctantly. "But I have to. I'm
q Boy Scout now"
To form more scout troops to trans
form these little unfortunates into
good citizens, is one of the reasons
why the Near East Relief, 1 Madison
avenue, New York city, ia making its
appeal for funds.

CHIEF MEREDITH
HAS H. c. |. CURE
Says Discharge All Idle Help and
Speed Output.
DEMANDS MORE PRODUCERS
Secretary of Agriculture Asserts Use
less Employees and Many Of the
Middemen Must Be Released
From Nonproductive Work.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Reduce the
number of middlemen and encourage
their return to the farms to help in
crease production of food
That is the message brought to the
capital by the new secretary of agri-
culture, E. T. Meredith of Iowa.
Mr.. Meredith was sworn in amid
clamors for his immediate attention to
the problem of reducing the cost Of
living. He had been inundated with
kilograms and letters from all parts Of
the country asking what he is going
to do to bring down prices.
The secretary, a tall, 1.-the man of
nervous, intense energy, with black
wavy hair, black, piercing eyes and
black, clOse-crOpped mustache, slightly
touched with gray, was running
through these messages and expressing
amazcment that they should be ad-
dressed to him.
"There must be a general feeling
that the cost of living is essentially
an agricultural problem" Mr.. Mere
sheaf to the stack of messages. ut Is,
of course, related to agriculture, but
no more than to many other lines of
activity, and I am tempted to believe
that the solution of the problem lies
more in the hands of those interested
in distribution and nOnproductive en-
terprise than in the hands Of the farm
ers."
Must Satisfy Farmers.
The secretary said the farmers will
factory conditions"
what is the matter with cOndl-
tiOns?" he was asked.
Matter" Mr.. Meredith CALCULATED,
his eyes fairly blazing. 1T certainly
does not spur a farmer to greater pro-
duction to be obliged to sell his prod
ucts for half or less than he later sees
them sold for at retail.
"The dairy farmers wonder if they
are treated squarely when they receive
35 to 40 cents for butter, and see it
retailed at IS.
"The poultry men wonder why,
when they receive from 40 to so cents
for eggs, they retail as high as 81 a
dozen.
'The hig growers. wonder if they are
not in hazardous business when
they buy fencing and all other sup
plies at greatly increased prices and
then see their product fall SO per cent
and sold by them at an actual loss in
answer to a demand on the part Of the
rest of the population for reduced
cost of living"
Business men," he continued,
must see that no useless employee Is
retained to add to the cost of distrib-
uting what the farmer now produces.
Useless employees must be released
from nonproductive work that they
may go into productive work.
Only Production Is Vital.
'Let us enjoy in America as highly
developed a system Of distribution
and let this include all the professions,
doctors, lawyers, teachers, as we'll as
retailers, transportation, etc.-as we
now have, but let us cut out the USE
less member, the surplus one here and
there, and give him an opportunity to
become producer upon the farm or
in the factory.
eff the entire country, all business
and all labor, does not recognize this
as a common problem and do those
things which give the farmer a fair
compensation for his efforts, conditions
will not improve"

Lobbyists Are Opposed.
Senator Mcfarland offered a joint
