Bride Wants to Stay.
When the relief workers went to
the Turkish home to find whether the
young bride desired to be free from
her husband, there was CONSERVATION
in the house. The Turk and his moth
er and children were devoted to the
girl and begged the Americans not to
force her to leave. The young wife
had one child.
The relief workers talked to the
Armenian wife privately and told her
they would not insist upon her leav-
ing il she wanted to stay. She told
them she could not leave her child;
that the Turk had been kind to her
and she felt that by remaining in
the village as the wife of it's most
prominent official she could be Of
greater assistance to Armenians than
in any other way.
The Turkish husband and his family
were overjoyed when the Americans
told them they would not take the
girl away. He promised he would not
take another wife and gave the Amer
leans rugs and other gifts as an
expression of appreciation.

ARMENIAN GIRLS IN
TURKISH HAREMS ARE
AFRAID TO Leave
tBy Associated Press)

SAMSOUN, Asia Minor, Dec. e.
Entente and American officials and
relief workers entrusted with the task
Of restoring Armenian girls and wo-
men to their families have found that
many of the girls who in the war were
forcibly taken into harems and be-
came the involuntary wives of the
Turks and Arabs. preferred to con-
tinue as Turkish wives, and we're I'M
willing to leave their husbands.
They feared the hardships Of life
among fellow countrymen who knew
of their servitude. Some of the girls
became attached to their foreign hus-
bands and said they liked the life
into which they had fallen. Where
the girls had children the problem
was doubly hard.
Educated Women Suffer Most.
The lot Of some Of the educated
women and girls was much more
pitiable than that of those who had
enjoyed no advantages. American
women relief workers found one case
in Central Turkey especially perpleX-
ing. A girl who was graduated from
one OF the American mission colleges
was taken captive in the early part OF
the war A prominent Turkish official
whose only wife had recently died took
the Armenian girl into his home. His
mother and children became much at
tached to the girl, whose superior
education made her an important
member Of the community.

Portuguese Discuss
Amnesty Problems
{By Associated PreSS)

10Y A6SOCtdCco TICSSt
LISBON, Dec. 6.-Agitation for and
against amnesty for monarchists and
other political prisoners has aroused
sharp discussion throughout Portugal
The movement in favor of granting
amnesty was brought more emphati-
cally to the public notice the other
day by the announcement of Senator
Jacinto Nunes that he would with.
draw from his seat in parliament until
amnesty was granted to political pris-
oners- Many of them have been i'm
prisoned for nearly two years.
Senator Nunes has been elected a
member of the senate ever since the
proclamation of the republic in Portu'
gal, and his republicanism is consid-
cred unimpeachable.
The Seculo reports that the politca!
exiles in France and Spain are pre-
pairing to present to the Portuguese le-
cations in those countries statements
promising that they will never again
promote or participate in political in
surrectionary movements in Portugal
and that they consider such actions
harmful to the national interest.

VIRGINIA JUDGE DEAD,
IN OFFICE 81 YEARS
WAS WIDELY KNOWN

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 6.-The death
here recently of Justice John Jeter
Crutchfield removed one of the most
original characters in American legal
annals. Justice of the Richmond po-
lice court for 80 years, Judge Crutch-
field enjoyed perhaps the widest repu
tation of any man holding similar Of
flee.
Justice Crutchfield was born in
Richmond Sept. 20, 1914, and was edu-
Gated in the public schools here. Pos
sessed of an abundance of natural wit
and peculiar understa nding of human
nature, he was immensely popular.
Magazine stories were written of him
and stage representations were made
of the celebrated Zone John" las he
was sometimes called
In the "old days. as the anti-dry
period was called, Judge Crutchfield
knew all of the "old-timers," and when
they began to appear on his docket
too often he would have them called
before him, and ask:
Guilty or not guilty." He knew
his man every time, and when the
prisoner would begin to humble and
minimize his offense, Ten dollars or
ten days" would end the argument.
Used Unique Methods
Years ago there was a character
known here as Jimmy Jones" Re-
ports were that Jimmy" and Justice
Crutchfield served together in the
Confederate army but this never wa
confirmed Jimmy" would appear be-
fore the justice at least once a week
and when his trembling form would
saunter up, this dialogue would us
ually follow:
Good morning, Mr.. Jones"
"Good morning, Judge"
what IS the matter this time, Mr..
Jones?"
Feeling little sick last night. and
rather expect l got little too much
liquor, Justice"
"So?"
Eyes, sir. a little too much, your
honor"
Jimmy, I have been your friend a
long time. The last time you were
here l told you that if you came any
more this year l would make it a year
But you and l can cmpromise this
matter Now, what is the best you
can do?"
Jones would say he thought ten days
would be about right, but Justice John
would hold out for six months, and
ask Jimmy to set another figure.
Jimmy's refusal to compromise furth-
er would bring from the judge the re-
mark that IF you won't make it a
month I will have to let you go with
IS days." whereupon Jimmy" would
threaten to quit coming to this court. ~
Usually he was released when he be-
came sober.

Barbed Wire in No Mans
Land Made Into Nails
CRv Associated Press>

TBy AsSoClated PressJ
RIGA, Latvia, Dec. Ga use has
at last been found here for the vast
quantities of barbed wire left on the
battlefeIds of eastern Europe. Riga
inventors have devised machinery for
stamping nails out of the wire and
hope by this method to relieve the
shortage of nails in the Balkan states.
Riga has been the center of so much
fighting throughout the war that most
of the lakes, streams and roads about
the city are thoroughly lined with
barbed wire entanglements and great
numbers of full spools of wire are
lying about. The expense Of collect
ing wire for making nails is thus made
light. Many of the piers at this port
are stacked high with wire suitable
for nail making.

FOREIGN PRICES ARE
AFFECTING EXPORTS
(By Associated Press)

ROTTERDAM, Dec 6.-The high
prices charged in Holland and some
other European countries for Ameri
can automobiles and other commodi-
ties are, in the opinion of American
authorities here, exerting a very bad
effect on the foreign export of the
Consular General Anderson has made
the matter the subject of an official
report to the state department.
Automobiles selling at retail in the
United States for, perhaps $4,000, are
shipped to Holland at a freight cost
hardly ever exceeding 5000, and then
are sold here for the equivalent of
about 81 900, even when the low value
of the Dutch exchange is considered.
The import duty is only per cent
This exacting Of profits officials say,
is certain to work against sales of
American automobiles in the future
The same holds true with American
canned goods, tobacco, etc. A tin of
American canned corn, retailed for
about 20 cents in the United States,
is sold in Holland at the gulder equiva
lent of so cents.
Various food products from the
United States now appear in great
quantities on the shelves Of mercha-
ants at The Hague, Amsterdam and
Rotterdam, but the prices are almost
always SO high that only the very
wealthy can buy them

the climax of Maurice Tourneur's
new Paramount-Artcraft production,
THE Life Line" which is coming
Wednesday to the Ditmas theatre. 1t
is adapted from George r. Sims
famous melodrama Of the sea, The
Romany Rye" and is said to tell a
smashing story in Mr.. Tourneur's
well known masterful style. The
stage play was first produced in Lon
don more than twenty years ago, but
like another of Mr.. Sims works,
Lights O. London" it is still fresh in
the memory of theatregoers.
The story cenGers around Jack
Hearne, the Romany Rye, young, ro-
mantle leader of a gypsy band, who
is really the heir to Cragsnest, a fine
old English estate now being occu-
pied falsely by his half-brother,
Phillip Royston. How Jack, with
the aid of some characters of the
London underworld. regains his in
heritance and wins the love of his
faithful Ruth forms the theme of the
picture. A brilliant hunt, in which
scores of lords and ladies take part,
a thrilling rescue from a burning
theatre, and the final episode of the
saving Of Ruth from a ship being
beaten to pieces on the rocks in a
storm are. the high spots of the pic
ture.

THE GREAT STAR AND GARTER
SHOW COMING TO- MAJESTIC


A carnival of beauty and a con-
tinuous chain of merriment put a
gilt edge touch to the Offering OF
Great Star and Garter" show, the
latest and greatest of all e~xtrava-
ganzas with their appearance at the
Majestic theatre starting Monday
matinee, January 10.
They will give evidence of the
shortcomings of similar attractions,
this production being identified as
the most perfect of its kind and in
fact being nearer to a spectacular
musical aggregation than to the
commonly termed burlesque attrac-
ton. The decorational part in the
Great Star and Carter show, Of
fering the skill of the most promi-
nent equipment with its unique n
brilliant Examinations, eminates from
the electrical department of one of
New York's most famous mechanics,
while the costuming is, to the great
est portion, the creation of a noted
Partisan theatrical costumer. The
burlettas offer something entirely
new; are picturesque and gay in sur
roundings, bright n witty in dia-
logue and reflect in their u%nrivaled
beauty the pretty scenes from fairy
lands most ~stupendous scenes. A
number of clever vaudeville features
are interspersed in the medley of
mirth and music, thus making the
whole an attraction well worth the
place it has achieved in the fore
ranks of burlesque offerings.
