THE MARASH MASSACRE.

Details of the fearful massacre oi
ArmeDians that took place last month
IN and around Marash III Cilicia show the
Turk to be the same unregenerated brute,
intent upon destroying the last vestiges
of the Armenian race If tnat be possible
The latest outbreak has deeper signifi-
canoe, however, as showing the utter con
tempt of the Turk for the Allies. The
blow struck at Marash was directed as
much at the French and the Allies
generally as toward the Armenlans, and
the American flag was also fred upon.
The natural effect of this latest outrage
will be to arouse new hatred of the Turk
and all his works Already it is being pre-
dicted that as result of this newly
aroused sentiment aDtagonistic to the
Turks the Allies will further dismember
the Ottoman Empire. No punishment
could be too great for those responsible for
the atrocities committed against the
Cilicia at present is on slightly different
basis from that existing in Armenia proper
during the war and before.
Whether the poor Armenian people of
Cilicia know it or not, there is we'll
developed project oD foot to take Cilicia
from the Turks and give the whole district
to the Armenians, who are IN a decided
minority. The French are claimants to
the territory under an agreement with
Great Britain signed during the war, as
are the Arabs of the new Kingdom of
He'd JAZZ. Furthermore, the attack upon
the Armenians and the French was made
by Turkish Nationalist forces under
Mustapha Kemal Pasha, who is operating
Independently of the government of Con-
stantinoDle with which the Allies have
been in communication. Brooklyn Eagle.

WHEN CONGRESS LOSES INTEREST.

"At the Capitol" it was stated in a
special dispatch to the Evening Post yes
terday, there seems TO be very little in
terest in the investigation. The average
Congressman seems TO know nothing
about it." This is the investigation into the
failure of the Board for Vocational Educa-
tlon. Yet Congressman were once very
much interested in the idea of taking
care of our disabled soldiers-~qmte ex-
cited about it, in fact. The soldiers had
done their bit for us and we would see
them through No man who had fought
for the United States should be allowed TO
say that republics were ungrateful. And
so on. Now there seems to be very little
interest in the investigation" Congress
is not to blame for the breakdown of the
plan II set up the machinery, and the dis
appointing outcome is an administrative
and not a Legislative fiaseo. But this is no
reason why Congress should be indifferent.
Rather. the deplorable result should add q
spark of indignation to tho sympathy AMI
sense of justice that pleaded so pow erful
for the men few months ago.
An explanation of this indifference at
the Capitol may perhaps be found III the
remark that there is growing impression
among Congressman that the average disa-
bicd soldier does not want retraining, but
only wants money in the form of training
pay" Congress viii salve it's conscience in
this matter by the easy method of voting
money. There you have, too often, the
average Congressman. One day he is all
for honor and justice al whatever expendi-
ture of time and trouble The next, his
enthusiasm is gone and he proposes TO do
nothing furtlnr-or else he automatically
sets out to "square" the Government with
those who have a claim on il by throwing
them what we must not call bonus. A
little less spasmodic interest at Washing
ton and more steady attention to duty
would be an economy for the country and
Of decided benefit 10 those who have served
il TO their h,nt.--New York Evening Post.

Aerial Warfare on the Susquehanna.

Last Tuesday an interesting battle with
bombs dropped from airships was fought
over the Susouehanna river, from Port
Deposit to below Havre de Grace. The
object of this aerial assault was to break
the ice that had become gorged in the
large section, including the town of Port
Deposit, with destructive inundation when
the food waters from the upper Susque-
hanna poured down against this ice
barrier.
What contrast was afforded by this
combat from the air, with aid of destruc-
tive bombs, directed against the obstruc-
tive forces of nature. The mind naturally
reverts to the time, not far IN the past,
when this kind Of warfare was directed
against peaceful communities, cities large
and small, with the deliberate purpose
of spreading destruction and death
of killing women and children, as well as
men. And this fendish purpose was pur-
sued with devilish deliberation.
How much better are aerial combats
such as that which took place over the
Susquehanna river this week They did
not cause people to turn pale with fear and
dread. No women and children fed
shrieking and horror-striicken in search of
a place of refuge. 1t was a peaceful war,
waged in behalf of civilization, humanity
and progress. May such always prove
successful.

MASTERS WHEN
ALL ELSE FAIL
Stomach is Fountain Head of
Health or Disease
Take Tanlac.

'1t is so often asked if Tanlac is good
for kidney trouble or liver complaint
or rheumatism, said the Tanlac Man.
"Tanlac tends to act directly ON the
stomach, expelling from it the impurities
and restoring it to strong, healthful
condition.
"The stomach regulates the condition
Of the blood and is indeed the fountain
head of health or disease, as the case may
be. Tarlac is intended primarily for
the regulation of this most important
organ, but it is uncommon for persons
who have used it to say that Tanlac re-
lieved them of rheumatism and many
ailments not generally recognized as
having their origin in stomach trouble.

AN AMERICAN IMPERIALIST.

In England the people who frown upon
every ideal Of the League Of Nations are
called Jngoes and Tories; in France apd
Italy, militarists; in Germany. Junkers;
IN Austria and Hungary, dynastlc Hars-
burgers; In Turkey. Germanophiles; in
Russia, Czarists. and in Japan, expansion
lists and warriors. All are inpcriallsts and
reacttunaries.
Sympathizing with these elements as
only a member of the Old Guard and
standpatter can. Senator Lodge naturally
is hurt because the President in his recent
letter referred rather pointedly To the
revival OF the militaristic spirit in France
end Italy. The Senator has made care
full survey of all the world, especially of
Europe, and he can fnd no signs of Tory
ism, Junzerism or militarisn1 anywhere.
Everything is proceeding normally. The
nations that have the power are helping
themselves in the good old way and they
are preparing to keep all that they can
hold.
IL is not often that the Senator reveals
his state Of mind so unreseryedly. Where
every prospect is pleasing to him, why
should he allow the League of Nations 10
become workable affair? Like every
other adherent of the old order at home
and abroad, he sees in that contrivance
the probable end Of things as they have
been, and his crusted conservatism revolts
at the prospect. To have peace on any
newfangled theories of justice and popular
rights is as offensive 10 him as to those
trained in the ancient diplomacy. The way
to make nations and races tranquil is to
pin them down with the bayonet.
If the American people, confused to
some extent by the treaty controversy at
Washington, will examine the men and
things In Europe that have Senator Lodges
most cordial approval, they will learn
why the League of Nations is so hateful
to him. All imperialists are standing
together York World
