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 eke 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-
tion. 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 it back" he
said reluctantly. "But 1 have to. I'm
a 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, l Madison
avenue, New York city, is making its
appeal for funds.

BILE winter in the mountains" he says,
"and the existing food supply is entire.

refugees without resources of any
kind.
"By recent agreement between the
premiers Of the republics Of Armenia,
Azerbaidjan and Georgia to cease hos

arbitration one obstacle to relief work
In the Caucasus has been removed and
makes accessible a great number Of
destitute people who otherwise would
perish this winter.
"Two hundred thousand destitute
Armenians and Tartars can now be
reached in the districts of Karabagh,
Shusha and Nakhichevan, in the south
east section of the Trans-Caucasus, and
we are planning to extend our work
there. The economic situation is so
desperate and food supplies so scanty
that the Georgians have ordered 100,.
900 persons, mainly Russian refugees
without employment, to leave the city
Of Tifis. About $4,000 workers in the
oil fields of Baku have been ordered by
the Azerbaidjahese to leave the city
because there is no work for them and
food is scarce.
Around every station along the rail-
way are gathered groups Of hundreds
of homeless people lying huddled to-
gether on the ground, the majority of
them too weak even to try to help
themselves. From time to time the
stronger ones climb on freight cars and
move elsewhere, always seeking better
conditions, which do not exist. Two
hundred and sixty-three thousand
homeless refugees from Turkish Arme-
MIA thus are constantly milling about
throughout Russian Armenia, max

Americans a problem requiring infinite
patience and organizing ability.

"These hundreds Of thousands of suf-

nothing more to lose, are concentrated
in a country as yet inadequately po-
Iced or governed. They constitute a
fertile field for the seeds Of Bolshe-

spread Of which once loosed would be
impossible to predict.
"It is generally admitted in the Cau-

BERLIN Although the outsider
who thinks in terms of American dol
lars finds that the 60 marks cab fare
in Berlin amounts to what he would
pay for transportation from the Penn
sylvania station in New York to his
home on Riverside Drive or Brooklyn
Heights, or little less, it is to be
remembered that the mark is a real
measure of value to the German peo
pie. They are paid in marks for ev.
erything they produce, including
wages for every kind of work ana
fees for the doctor or the dentist
and there is enough law left to make
possible some sort of living for law
yers. When, therefore, the following
statement Of the German debt is
made, now published for the first time
and furnished by the courtesy of the
German finance department, it is to
be understood that the German is not
thinking in terms of marks at trifle
over two cents apiece exchange value
Germany's Total Debt
Taking first the consolidated i'm
perial debt, this amounts to 900O0,-
100000 marks. Then there is a float
ing debt Of SO,0OO,OOO,OOO marks, or q
total of 10000, 100000 marks. This
is where the American imagination
stops, because it does not realize that
Germany is country Of federated
states and communities. The consoli-
dated debt Of the federated states is
17,50O,OO0,O00 marks, and the floating
debt of these states is 12,500,000,000
marks; or a total of 10000, 100000
marks. Add to this the debts of the
cities and other communities with
borrowing power, which can be taken
as consolidated debt of 1880, 600, 900
marks and floating debt of 10,000,000,-
600 marks. The total Indebtedness
for Germany, therefore, amounts to
222,500, 100000 marks; and it is to be
noted that rather over hundred bill
ion of it is floating Indebtedness p

There are few men better qualified
to write of the great West than Adam
Breede. He has climbed the rugged
slopes of it's mountains, and has hunt

are populated. He has mixed with and
knows the humans of the ranches and
the mining camps, and when he writes
Of them he puts into his stories that
touch of intimate acquaintanceship.
Adam Breede is a son of Nebraska,
and is known throughout the West as
both author and newspaper publisher
and editor. During the war the editor
of one of the great New York daily
newspapers singled him out as an
ideal man to send to Europe as a cor
respondent because of his ability to
graphically picture the terrible condi-
tions created by the war. He painted
word pictures of the conditions in
France, of the suffering of the war
ridden people, of the heroism of the
men of the armies, and just the same
way he has painted word picture of

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.

Armenia were driven by thousands, the

UncoIIectibIe Debts

What is owing to Germany consists
principally of Turkish debt estimat-
ed at from one to two billion marks.
Away back in the time of the Russo
Turkish war London Punch found
something to say in favor of the in
debtedness of the sultan of Turkey.
1t was that "his word was at least as
good as his bond" If anybody can
indicate a collectible bond in Turkey
or statesman there whose word is
worth scrap of tissue paper, he has
secured information which has eluded
the vigilance of the present inyesti-
gator
To those of us who believe it is
necessary to aid Germany, not for her
own sake or for the sake of her peo-
pie, or for anything she would have
done to help others, but in the plain
interest of saving civilization from a
debacle worse than any single conse-
quence of the war, it is interesting,
to put it maddening, as the
French or Belgians would put ito
know that against the resources of
Belgium and northern France, Ger
many issued paper money; for Bel
gium 5,6O0,00O,O 900 marks and for
France an amount not less than g.
000,000,000 marks and more like A.
marks. This is, of course,
a prior lien, although, after meeting
many of the greatest bankers in Ger
many, it must be confessed that it is
difficult to make them see how their
internal bonded Indebtedness is en-
tirely secondary to that due to the
allies, and is, in fact, with the best
conceivable outside assistance, a
doubtful second preferred stock upon
which dividends will have to be de-
ferred indefinitely
German Currency Problem
This is a grim statement and it is
not improved ty the estimate of the
paper currency in circulation Max
Warburg of Hamburg, one of the
ablest bankers in the world, placed
this at 40 billions of marks. This is
heavy enough, in all conscience, but
the probability is that there is no.
body in Germany who knows how
much more may have been issued sur
reptitiously, to say nothing of the ex-
tensive forgery of all manner of cur
rency which proceeded in western
Russia, with the connivance of Lenine
and Trotzky. Since Warburg's esti-
mate the issue has grown by 2,00O,-
100000 marks, or 7OO,OO0,O0O marks
a week.
When, for instance, the Spartacides,
who may be called the regulated Ger
man branch of the BOlsheVist family,
were in control in Munich they had
access to government paper, and early
in the present year they are said 10
have printed 20 billions Of marks, OF
which one billion actually got into cir
culation. This does not come into
the banking or official estimates be-
cause the officials and the bankers
would deny what has been a matter
of concrete knowledge, in Washington
at least, for many months past. 1t
would be interesting also to know
something more about the loans to
the German government of occupa
tion in Roumania, said to total 1,500,-
100000 marks, and like amount to
Ukrainia. 1t has been impossible to
ascertain how these loans were made
