RELATES STORY
WAR HORRORS
Dire 7. Allen Brings Tale Of
Atrocities in Far
East

DR., +. I. Allen formerly of Ur-
umiah, Persia. spoke at the First
Presbyterian church Sunday morning
DR.. Allen who has been a missionary
to Persia for years told OF the havoc
wrought by the war He had well
established mission there which was
completely destroyed by the curds,
He told how thousands fled on foot
for five hundred miles to the safety
of the British army along theTigris
and Euphrates rivers to the spoke of
which the psalmist wrote in the 18TH
Psalm, All who dared stray from
their camps as they journeyed never
returned and of some $4,000 only 1900
have survived, Many died unsung
and lie unburied marking that 500 mile
trail; those who were not massacred
died of starvation or disease.
DIR. Allen said that many times the
native christians were pursued to the
shelter of the American flag where
the Mohammadans dared not modest
them. When America entered the
war they all believed that better day
had dawned and that justice were
soon to reign again But when the
was signed and America sat
at home folding her hands, refusing
to act, or ratify the league of nations
which she had suggested. America
last caste with the nations of the
world, DR.. Allen said that the Mo-
had always feared Amer
ca as nation that protected her peo-
pie, championed the rights of small
and meant what she said
when she spoke. to the extent of &C
ion and physical force if necessary.
Since America has failed miserably in
Ter promises. the months after the
signing of the armistice saw a great
'hange take place. America no lon

DESERVE MUCH CREDIT.

Few people realize the enor-
NOUS volume of work that is re-
quired to properly conduct a
postoffice, this being especially
true during the holiday season
when the mails are the heaviest
in the entire year.. To place a
new postmaster in charge of an
office when business is the quiz
etest is bad enough for they
have to familarize themselves
with the routine of work as well
as the red tape attached to each
transaction that takes place in
the course of a business day,
For this reason we believe that
Mrs. Percy Campbell, the new
postmistress who took charge oi
/ the local office a short time agt
is entitled to much credit and
praise from all the patrons o1
the office for the quickness an(
the efficient way in which ths
mails have been handled during
the present holiday rush.
