ARMENIA FOUGHT
GOOD F|CHT,.SAyS
Gen. AzGAPETIAN
Officer, Himself an Armenian,
Addresses Mass Meeting
in the Brandeis
Theater.

Armenian soldiers did their share
in winning the world war, according
to General Mesrop Melton Azgape-
tian of Armenia, who addressed a
mass meeting at the Brandeis thea
ter Sunday afternoon, held in the
interests of the campaign for the
Near East Relief fund.
"You Americans wrote cheerful
letters to your soldiers in France,
to keep up their morales and help
them. to fight as you expected them
to fight" said the general. The
Armenian young men received no
such encouragement. INSTEAD they
heard constant rumors that their un-
protected homes were being raw
ishcd and violated by the Turks, that
their dear ones were being massa-
cred by hundreds and that their
wives, sisters and sweethearts were
being carried into unspeakable slave
ry in Turkish harems.
Successful Campaigns.
"Yet they did not falter, but car
ried on successful campaigns in Per-
sia and Russia, driving the Turk
back rand receiving no credit for it.
Reports of big battles won in he
roic style by Armenian armies were
suppressed by the Russians. Many
Americans think that we were slack
ers. But we we're not"
The general stated that the Ar
mcn1an nation is worthy of practical
sympathy. The nation was the first
to accept Christianity, he said, and
it has always been advanced in edu-
cation ard civilization.
General Azgapetian made a strong
plea for the support OF the Near
East Relief committee in its work
of rescuing 100000 Armenian peo-
pie, including 250,000 children, more
than 10000 of whom are orphans.
His people are facing death by star
vat,on and exposure, he said, and
may be exterminated unless help is
given them this winter.
Armenians Progressive.
Armenians are progressive, the
general said. They printed books
shortly after the invention of print
ing in 1856, he stated, and nearly 100

Interesting Tale Told Of
Murder of "Spotted TaiP''
Details of Killing of Brule Indian Chief by "Crow
Dog" Appear in New History-Scottsbluff~W ~Wom-
an Relates Story of His Punishment.

G.. L. Shumway, in~his history of
western Nebraska, soon to be pub
.lished by the Western Engraving &
Publishing company of Lincoln, as a
part of the Morton Watkins history
OF the State, tells the following story
of the murder of Spotted Tail and
Crow Dogs punishment:
Eastman, in the Outlook. says that
Spotted Tail was killed because he
betrayed the Brules to the whites,
and Crow Dogs act was the result
Of a pact made 80 years before by
the Brules, that Spotted Tail should
die if it were ever proved that he
had played false to his tribe. This
sounds like an apology for the mur-
der of the great Indian, and the
thought has been probably fostered
by the friends of Crow Dog, ''the old
man with withered arm No doubt
there are those among the Indians
who hated Spotted Tail, "the king
OF all the Sioux" through all the
years, and were glad when he was
finally assassinated.
big Mouth" Is Shot.
After Spotted Tail was taken to
Washington he lost control of a
good many of the young men of the
tribe who wanted war. Big Mouth
was the leader of the war party.
One day in 1873 Spotted Tail called
him out of the lodge. AS he came
out two of Spotted Tails friends
grabbed his arms and Spotted Rail
walked up to him and shot him
dead.
1t was eight years later that Crow
Dog started trouble among the
young braves, and some say that
Spotted Tail was arranging to shoot
Omaha daily bee., 1920-02-23

him as he had shot Big Mouth. But
Crow Dog did not wait. In the
terse language of the west, "he beat
him to it," and Spotted Tail was the
one to die.
Father DeSmet speaks OF Crow
Dog as a man of courage. This was
40 years before Spotted Tails death
and seems to disagree with the
statement of Hyde that Crow Dog
was "a young leader"
Tale of Woman Pioneer.
Mrs. A. R.. Honhold, wife of the
attorney at Scottsbluff, tells an in
teresting story that came to her
from her mother, Mrs. E. Van Horn,
who was a pioneer of Belle Fourche.
Crow Dog had been tried at Sidney
and sentenced to Imprisonment a,
Deadwood. Mrs. Van Horn, then
a girl of 16 years, was on the stage
from Sidney to Deadwood, in which
the prisoner, in charge of two off,
GERS, was being conveyed. Crow
Dog was held at Deadwood for
years, first imprisoned, then as a
trusty. In the latter capacity he
carried slops and garbage to few
hogs that were owned by the civil
authorities. He did the work I'M.
complainingly, and with not a mur-
muir of discomfort, for many years.
One day they missed him from his
work, and they never made a search.
They knew that the wilderness had
beckoned to him, that he had heard
the call of the wild solitude, and
had gone. They let him go, to
spend his few remaining years If,
the old familiar fastnesses, where
his rapidly dimming eyes would
soon close forever to the cl,angeful
coloring of the sky and land.

The United States Grain corpora

In resuming buying in this man
ner, after suspension of general
purchases for two months. Julius
H. Barnes, United States wheat di-
rector, states that although there
are large stocks of -four in the At

shipment, the wheat guarantee act
passed by congress specifies a pref
cvence in the export Of wheat flour
rather than wheat.
Within the past few days the
wheat price in certain markets and
for certain grades has fallen to the
guarantee basis again." said Mr..
Barnes, "and purchasing by the
grain corporation in protection Of
the guarantee has recommended on
small scale. Therefore if the -four
market falls to the fair reflection OF
the guarantee price of wheat the
grain corporation must in some
manner take care of the purchase OF
-four in fulillment of the govern

Clark, and Willingly OF unwittngly, most people
think the latter he brought about the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson. The newspaper reports of
the Conventions proceedings certainly made the
impression all the country that Mr.. Bryan
favored Mr.. Wilson for the nomination and was re-
sponsible for his nomination. Both Clark and the
president seemed to acknowledge this to be true,
the former by becoming estranged from Mr. Bryan
and the latter by appointing him his Secretary of
State
We think too, the Index~Journa does Mr.. Bryan
an injustice in tir2ting that he is altogether sell
fish in most things he does Nj. Bryan is entirely
too wild statesman to be considered seriously for
the presidency, We Think but there are those
:rnong.t us who believe that Mr. Bryan is great
ran so far rs his love for his country is concerned
ald in his unsc!sh devotion to its best interests.
The fact that he has habit of talking out in the
meeting about people who, in his judgment, are
wrong on matters Of great Importance to the coun-
try does not alter that opinion.
Besides, since when did t become a crime in the
democratic party to be a selfish politician?

if he had beer in the White House in May, 1915
when the Huns were ruthlessly sinking ships

Roosevelt replied, He said, in substance, that
a. soon as he hnd read in the New York newspaper
the advertisement which Bernstorff had inserted
warning all American citizens from taking passage
on the Lustania, he would have sent for Bernstorf
and asked him whether the advertisement was Off
cally acknowledged by him.. Even Bernstortf, arch
liar that he was, could not have denied it. 4 should
then have sent to the department of state to pre-
pare his passports should have handed them to
him and said, "You will sail on the Lusitania your
self next Friday; an American guard will see you

breaking Of of diplomatic relations with Germkny,
Roosevelt added, would probably have meant

DEMOCRATIC PRESS ON THE BIG SPLIT.

In the past it has been the habit of Mr.. William
Jennings Bryan to boast that long as he had the
country press of his partySwith him he did not
how the city newspapers Stood It remains to be
whether the fact that many of the leading Denocra
tic newspapers approve the stand he has taken will
make him dubious concerning the soundness of his
position. For some Of the Democratic organs which
have been least friendly to him and most friendly
to President Wilson taking the Bryan end of the
treaty argument. Not the Louisville Courier Jour-
na} which "sees red" whenever the Nebraskan trots
upon the stage and construes the Jackson Day trot
ting as having no other Importance than opening
way for a new lease on the Chautauqua stage. "Mr.
Bryan" declares this leading exponent of Kentucky
opinion "cannot split the Democratic party if he is
no longer real leader of the party On the other
hand, the Cleveland Plain Dealer holds that Mr..
Bryan, rather than the President, has made the
accurate appraisal of the treaty situation in
the Senate. "The Nebraskan," it explains, "has
sensed the impossbility of forcing hostile ma
jority to do the bidding of minority He realizes
the futility of continued deadlock. He does not
believe that the question Of Americas particpa-
ton in the League of Nations could be satisfactor-
lily settled at the polls in Presidential election.
The Plain Dealer has urged all these points repeat

The Philadelphia Record "cannot believe that
any very large proportion OF Democrats will elect to
march under the white flag, explaining that in its
opinion "this is not the Bryan who swayed the
Baltimore Convention in 1912; this is the Bryan
who split with the President the issue of uphold
ing American rights contested by Germany" The
Richmond Times DESPATCH describes Mr. Bryan's
attitude as surrender to the inevitable, "but there
is sound logic in his views" The issue raised by
the conflict between Mr. Bryan and the President
may have to be decided way or the other in
the naming of the party's cand. ate for the Pres
dency 1t will not await the polls. 1t be de-

neuver ever made in the house."

against the bill asserted people of the
