To Use Influence
ToUnite Armenia
AMERICAN Committee Also
Asks Wilson to Appeal to
Allied Powers to Disarm
Turks and Other MOslems

A letter of appeal has been sent to
,-.s;aent Wilson by the American
r.mmittee for Armenian independence,
Tx Fifth Avenue, urging the Execu-
.;,. 10 exert his "idealistic influence to
w. all the Armenian territories
~,;,edn The letter reads, in part:
aIs the Supreme Council of the peace
..t.rsnee has requested you to be the
.h;,sr in delimiting the boundaries of

un.1su aIsu;ted Armenia should include the

s.a l:.. The Armenian provinces of Erze-
VII, Van. Bitlis, Harpoot, Diarbekr,

Firm Stand Will Deter French
aN Paul Doumer, formerly the Presi-
d.nt Of the French Senate, in anticipa-
,;on % Of such claim, declared during the
Armenian deportations: When, at the
nnJ of the war, the question of Ar
1non;an population comes to be consid-
arod fine dead must be counted with
.hs living and. since the conclusion
~ +be war. Dr.. Johannes Lepsius, the
leader of the German Liberals, reit-
srs-es the slogan that in Armenia the
dead shall vote
"Your firm stand for united Ar
usn;a will serve as a deterrent to the
French pretensions in Cilcia, which is
Armenia's natural outlet to the sea
and her best means OF communication
with the West, and to the British at
tsnpt at creating q fictitious kurdis
tan in Armenia. The Kurds found in
Armenia are not indigenous, but at the
behest of the Sultan, the colonized
there from purely Turkish provinces
in order to increase the Moslem popu-
ation.
Want the Turks Disarmed
"And we request you, further, to
urge that the Allied powers. in pur
suance of their war obligation, disarm
the Turks and other Moslems in Ar
menian territory, and facilitate this re-
ratriation of Armenian refugees and
the return of Armenian residents
abroad for the rehabilitation of the
new Armenian state
"As Premier Venzelos has placed
at their disposal Greek soldiers the
Allies can no longer contend that there
are not enough troops to curb the
Turks. If the Allies perform their
duty by this minimum assistance Ar
menis will be able TO protect herself
and will not need mandate. You are
the only hope Of Armenia. Lincoln

but the whole civilized world will be
grateful to you"

he said" The high percentage of al

this discovery and possibly not ap-
prove of the glycerin content, they

effect, were intended to relieve the

Definite information as to the cos,
to the Government of guaranteeing
the earnings is not expected for some
time. The Bureau Of Economics has
estimated, however, that the earnings
of the railroads during the six months
since the Government returned the
management of the roads to their
owners is $6OO,OOO,0OO below their
standard return. Most of the roads
have certified to deficits in the las,
six months and have asked for adj

'agreeably to the proposition OF Mr.
James Jarvis. provided that the preini-

that "it be coined at the expense Of
the contractor. hut under the inspec-
ton of an officer appointed and paid
by the United States"
1t is presumed that this copper coin
contract was made as directed for on
Friday. July g. 1887. the congress
adopted this resolution: THAT the
hoard of treasury direct the contractor
for the copper coinage to stamp on
