Capt. c. K. Morse, at First
Baptist Church, Describes
Turkish Persecution Of
Armenians.

Armenia was described as the
land Of "unspeakaple suffering" by
Capt. c. X. Morse, formerly of the
Canadian army, who spoke yester-
day morning at the First Baptist
Church. Sixteenth and o streets
northwest in the interest of Near
East Relief.
Capt. Morse told of the intense
suffering experienced by soldiers
and civilians in France and Belgium
as Q result of the war. But their
suffering was as nothing compared
to the wretohed misery of Armenia,
which has beea reserved for the
Golgotha Of suffering" he asserted.
In describing the treatment ac-
corded the Armenians by. Turkey,
he said: "The purpose OF the Turk
was the determination of the Ar
excuse for getting rid of these
seized. Many times groups of loo
Armenian soldiers were stood
against q wall In order that Turkish
soldiers might use them for tar
gets. The strong men OF Armenia
perished, while the weaker men,
the women and children survived.
Before and since the armistice these
have been made to suffer tortures
women and children have been
driven to the deserts by thousands
and many of the women have been
taken to Turkish harems."
Capt. Morse closed with an appeal
TO the generosity OF America: "A
million OF these people have died
within the last five years. A million
and a quarter are starving now. II
America does not feed them. there
Is no hope for them. Do not forget
the words Of the Master, Tnasmuch
as you have done for the least OF
these, my brethren, you have done
II for Me-"

DR.. Randolph Pays Theo-

Sermon on -Four Famous
Americans.

Theodore Roosevelt was char
acterized as zone of the most pro-

ever had" by the Rev. Herbert Ran

religion was of the powerful and
practical kind, and while not wear
ing the livery of the pulpit. he was
a prodigious preacher of righteous
ness. The sort o; religion professea
and practiced by him was described
many years ago by the Apostle
James In his words which Mr.. Roose-
welt selected when he took the oath
of Office as President of the United
States. BE ye doers of the word
and not hearers only
Message to Soldiers.
Another good expression of II is
found in the following message from
his pen in the Bibles given to the
fghting men by the New York Bible
Society: The teachings of the New
Testament are foreshadowed in
Micah's verse, What more does the
Lord require of thee than to do JUS
tice, love mercy and to walk humbly
with thy God Do justice. and there
fore, fight valiantly against the
armies of Germany and Turkey for
these nations in this crisis stand
for the reign of Moloch and Belize

prisoners well. succor the wounded,
treat every woman! as IL she were
your sister. and be tender with the
old and helpless. Walk humbly. You
will do so IL you study the life and
teachings of the Saviour"
DR.. Randolph paid a high tribute
to Roosevelt, the man and states
man. After speaking of his par
entage and his early life, he said:
His character is one of our
greatest and best heritages. He had
a marvellous intellect. He became
Famous as a writer upon naturalistic

that 'it does believe the Secretary
did not require of these men a suf-
fcient degree of distinguished serv-
ice or of heroism 10 warrant the
awards given them in some Of the
cases"
TrammeI Defends Course.
IN this point Trammel declared
the record of the investigation es-
tablished the fact that in consider
ing the awards in the ten cases
where officers lost their ships no
naval officer nor the board OF
awards felt proper to exclude an
officer from special decoration on
account of his misfortune to have
his ship badly damaged or lost by
a blow from the enemy"
The testimony discloses." Mr..
Trammell said, that the fact that
an officers ship was badly damaged
or lost was not the reason he was
recommended for a medal by those
making such recommendations and
that he was not for this reason
awarded a medal by the Secretary
of the Navy"
Senator Pittman's report did not
refer specifically to this phase Of
the controversy, but on the general
subject of Admiral Sims criticism
of awards he said:
Outlines Sims Attitude.
admiral Sims is sincerely con-
vinced that no naval board Is COM
petent to review and act upon any
recommendation made by him; that
the changing in the slightest de-
gree of any award to any officer
made by him is so grave an error
that it would be better that no
medals be awarded at all; that he
believes that the awarding of the
distinguished service medal should
be limited to a few of the highest
officers of the navy. and that 1t has
been cheapened by being awarded
to so many junior officers and en-
listed men,"
The majority report of the COM
mittee made the blunt suggestion
to Secretary Daniels that he keep
hands off, the naval awards and
simply follow the recommendation
of the knight Board of Awards.
The subcommittee does not deem it
advisable to repeal the statute pro-
viding for awards nor amend it to
cover awards in the late war, but
1T recommends that the chairman
of the Naval Affairs Committee of
the Senate ask the Secretary OF
the Navy to appoint a board Of
officers of the navy to consider
the question of recommending
changes in the statute for future
awards" 1t expressed the hope
that reconsideration of the awards
would lead to recognition OF en-
listed men of the navy and the
merchant marine.

WILSON INFLUENCE
WAVES IN FRANCE

DhsRatChsD
Paris, March THE breach be-
tween French diplomacy and that
OF President Wilson becomes wider
with each day. The decisions as
to giving Thrace to Greece and
Bessarabia to the Roumanians, TAX
en- by the supreme council, furnish
renewed evidence of the emphatic
decline OF Mr.. Wilson's, and Amer
ica's influence in European coun-
ellis.
The French. who are tired to in
difference by the tardiness Of the
peace council in settling all out
standing European questions, view
this break with perfect equanimity.
In fact. IL would be astonishing to
any visitor to France from America
who had lived in Paris during the
days of the war and when peace
was arranged. to discover in what
little regard the edicts of Wilson
are held.
American Aid Needed.
But clear-minded Frenchmen de-
nounce the widening of the breach
as an act of folly in which states
men grasp at present advantages
without regard to the future. They
insist that friendship with America
should be the cornerstone of French
foreign policy,\
Living under the fear of another
German assault, being in need of
American help to restore prosperity
and recognizing that Americas
clean hands in European affairs
counts for a great deal in the di-
plomacy. particularly of the future.
they view with unconcealed alarm
the tendencies Of the moment.
A member of the French senate
said today that while he agreed
with the allied decisions as to
Thrace and Bessarabia, he thought
that more consideration should have
been given to Mr.. Wilson's views.
Favor Help TO Germany.
The statement by the Italian
prime minister that he is in COM
plete accord with Premier Lloyd
Georges stand in favoring a soften
ing of the reparation terms imposed
upon Germany in order to allow her

impression here. The French. in

force Of circumstances alone COM
ing to recognize that revenge and
reparation are entirely different,
