5000 orkers Laid Off
BY New Haven Railroad
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

BOSTON, Nov. 28-About 5000 en-
ployces of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad were laid off at the
close of their weeks work last night
The men include mechanics employed in
the shops at various points on the sys-
ten, together with roundhouse en-
ployees, trainmen and men in other de-
partments. The number is understood
to represent about 10 per cent
Substantial numbers have been let
out at the New Haven, Conn; Van
Ness, N. Y, and Readville shops. At
these shops smaller number were let
go week ago, it is understood.
Forces of employees at all round
houses of the New Haven road have
been cut down TO the same proportion
as those in the shops. In these, too, the
reductions began a week or two ago.
Hundreds of trainmen are said to be
included in the lay-ofs, but the exact
number is not as yet obtainable Many
clerks employed at the freight houses
and in passenger departments are
among those who are cut off
Reduction of expenses is said to be
the reason given by the executives of
the road for the order for the lay-offs.
The action has caused considerable
agitation among the employees, and it
seems probable that the matter will be-
come a subject of union discussion.

Burglars Work ON Roofs
Of Apartment Houses
Superintendent of One River
side Drive Building Felled
With a Black iack

An exploit of two of the most i'm
pudent burglars Harlem has known
came to light last night, though not
through the police, who have not vet
caught the men.
The pair cut the telephone wires at
the Ardelle Court apartment house, 527
Riverside Drive, and were trying to
force the door leading from the root
into the house when tenants heard
them and notified the superintendent
of the building.
Finding that the telephone was out
of commission, the superintendent ran
into $50 Riverside Drive, the Clare
mont Court apartment house, and told
Emil Perl, superintendent of that
building, to telephone for the police
AS soon as. he had telephoned to the
West 125th Street police station, Perl
started for the roof of his own build
ing to make sure that all was secure
In the meantime the two burglars had
thrown ladder across a 15-foot gap
between the Ardelle Court and the
Claremont Court, crossed to the latter
building and were at work trying to
force the door of an apartment on the
top floor when Perl came running up
the stairs.
One Of the burglars felled Perl with
blackjack and both of them ran
downstairs. On their way they upset
Albert Goldstein, an elevator operator
who was following Perl upstairs. Gold
stein discovered Perl unconscious and
carried him to a physician. The two
burglars were not to be found when
the police arrived

Local Armenian Tells of
Suffering During War.

After hiding in a dugout in his native
town In Armenia for year and half,
to keep out Of the Turkish army, where
he would have to fight against allies,
Zareh Antreasian, an Armenian resident
Of Indianapolis, who went to Europe to
visit his father in 1914, has returned to
his home here.
Artreas sian, who is now employed in
the tailoring establishment of r. r.
Treat declares that the situation in
Armenia beggars description and is not
in the least exaggerated by the near
east relief organization, which is appeal
ing for aid in Indiana to save the lives
of 10000 Armenian orphans.
The world war was declared two weeks
after Antreasian reached his native town,
Manissa, a few miles from Smyrna. The
day war was declared by Germany the
Turks welcomed the news with a big
celebration everywhere, Antreasiah says.
Months before the opening of the war
letters went all over Turkey from Con
stantinople to the heads Of municipalities
instructing that these letters should not
be opened until a telegraphic order was
received. The order came the day war
was declared and the letter contained
instructions that all men between the
ages of q and 45 should report for
military duty. THE Turks knew" said
Antreasian, that Armenians would leave
the country rather than fight with them
If they had suspected what was coming.
OF course Armenians were forced into
service but were given no arms They
dug trenches and did mental work. The
Turk knew that the armed Armenian
when he would hear of the deportations
and the treatment of his wife or his
daughter would he dangerous Gle
ment."
Twice was Antreasian summoned for
military duty Each time he was able
TO buy himself off with American money.
He was determined he would not fight
against the allies Finally his family
built a dugout In the rear of the home
and there for a year and half he hid
himself from the Turkish guard. Two.
and three days at a stretch he remained
In hiding. His father died and the
Turkish soldiers reasoned he would be
at the funeral if he was in the neigh
borhood. He remained In the dugout
and escaped Then came the armistice
and he managed to get out of the coun-
try. His brother Antreas also of this
city went to France with the medical
corps and won medal for bravery 10
carrying wounded soldiers from the
trenches.

Harrington found it easy to slip the

LOCAL BANKING CONSIDERED
FROM NEW VIEW POINT

The bank is we'll known to be the
thermometer of the community. It
tells the story of our financial pros
perity or depression. 1t is the local
register of the commercial health.
The more the banks the greater the
prosperity; the larger the deposits
the healthier we are. Modern bank
ing business is much better under
stood business than it formerly was.
There was a day when it was like
a bank president or cashier. To-day
he has his seat near the door of the
bank and gives the glad hand to
his customers. Who ever heard OF
a bank advertising in the old days?
To-day every progressive banking
institution places its proposition be-
fore the people by means of the local
press.
Yet, despite all this progress there
| is woeful and surprising amount
of ignorance regarding the bank
and it's purposes, and many people
| utterly fail to comprehend the rules
| that must guide well-handled
financial institution. What people
forget mainly is that the bank is
not it's own. Its your money ana
our money that it lends to it's GUS
toners, and when dealing with 9th
er peoples cash the greatest of care
| is always to be observed.
The banks of Paris and Bourbon
county want to lend money. They
are in the business for exactly that
| purpose, but they must primarily
see to it that they lend safely.
With checking accounts the deposit
crs are frequently very incOnsider-
ate in dealing with their banks.
Consider for moment the eX-
penses, the overhead charges under
which your bank labors. 1t must
pay these overhead charges, and all
these things cost money, and lots Of
it. Every customer of a bank should
| keep on hand what is known among
bankers as paying balance"
The banks of Paris and Bourbon
| county want accounts. They want
all they can get, yet in order that
the account may be a paying one
there should at all times remain on
hands a paying balance"

when the truth was that the cold
had simply left the little one partic-

cold when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out of school
