WASHINGTON FAVORED
AS RELIGIOUS CENTER
ORGANIZATIONS Debating Advantage
of Capital for Headquarters
of Activities.

NEW YORK. n. Y. January It
Several religious bodies are debating
the advantages of New York and
Washington as location for offices
from which to direct overhead affairs.
The war, the selection of chaplains,
the deep concern of government bu-
reaus for the spiritual welfare of their
men, and the Capitalization of health
and moral questions under govern
ment control have had marked in
fiuence in aid of Washington. Bust
ness considerations speak in favor of
New York, and will always have
weight. So will the port of sailing. al
though as Pacific missions grow in

San Francisco and Seattle loom up as
competitors of New York. At the mo-
ment the tendency is distinctly in ia
Vor of Washington and away from
Boston. Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Phila-
celphia. Baltimore and even New
York.
The latest body to consider change
is the Protestant Episcopal. 1t has

gan helped to erect, but if things de-
velop as their church hopes they will
do. Washington is almost certain to
be selected for direction of overhead
affairs. Roman Catholics are changing
from Baltimore to Washington. and
the movements like the interchurch,
the federal council and others say
, they are more and more in need of
Washington connections. The home
missions council says it finds the same
conditions to obtain.

armenia is helpless unless her allies
in the great war come to her assistance.
The Turk is willy and is only bldlng his
time to fall once more upon the helpless
people. If our refugees could return TO
their homes in peace and under a pledge
of security. Armenia could produce crops
in about two years, but it would be
about four years before they would be
able to feed themselves without outside
assistance
This statement was made by Gen.
Andrank Ozanian. the national hero of
Armenia. who recently arrived in this
country to stimulate interest IN the near
east relief campaign. To the Arme-
MANS Andranik (nobody calls him by
his family name) is the ideal soldier

Succeeds in Blocking Turks.
1t was Andranik's raw and poorly
equipped Armenian volunteers who
turned an impending victory for Turkey
in the Caucasus into a defeat that
swung the scale in the near east deh-
nitely in favor of the allies.
After the collapse of the Russian
armies Andranik showed his genius
and humanitarianiSm. He seized the
military stores the Russians left when
their armies dissolved. and, at the
head of 1000 cavalrymen and 5000
: infantrymen, fought to save as many
of his people as he could. In one bat
tie his little force stood between the
Turks and 5000 refugees. Thousands
focked to him for aid. and as he re-
treated 10000 refugees clung to his
army and hampered its movements.
But Andranik did all he could for
them.
The hunger of my people was so
intense they would fight for scraps of
my dead horses, he said.
Present and Future Needs.
In detailing the present and future
needs of his people. Andranik said:
The first great need is for seeds
and agricultural implements. for the
Turk swept the country bare. If help
is not soon forthcoming it will not be
necessary, for there will be none left
alive 20 require assistance. Our peo-
pie want to work; they do not want
TO accept charity. but for the time
being they are helpless.
Those who are left are starving
and freezing. America is their only
hope, and if America fails then Ar

MOTION PICTURES PLACE
IN CHURCH is USEFUL

Does the motion picture have a
place in the church? 1t does. accord
ing to Rev. Earle Wilfiey, pastor of
the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church. and a very useful one, too.
The ministers all over the country
are using motion pictures on certain
occasions" he said. "They realize that
they are bringing the gospel to a
larger number of people by so doing.
Therefore. we have decided to show
motion pictures at the Sunday even
ing services hereafter in conjunction
with the regular address.
"Our subjects will cover a wide and
interesting field, including studies on
the Holy Land. tours in America and
Europe, industrial progress and so On"
Special musical attractions for these
services are being arranged by ]. w.
Sparks, who has organized a chorus of
thirty trained voices.
This is an innovation with us"
Rev Wilfley continued. but we are
going to give the movie an opportu-
nifty to come regularly to church and
see if we cannot improve it, as well as
help ourselves, and / believe it will
make good in church work.
