"HE Turks vehement denial OF the mas

- tion that United States commission

swer in the diary OF an American roller
worker of unimpeachable character VINO sa"
for himself the incidents in the dispute. Ac-
cording to this eyewitness, the Rev. G. I.
6 Crathern of Boston, whose story was re-
Gently given to the press Of this country, the
American hospital was Dombarded and as
saulted: the American flag was fired on; an
American orphanage was burned, ana the
eighty-five Armenian girls whom 1t sheltered
after their release from Turkish harems were
massacred."
Turkish officials pictured the Americans
at Marash as drinking their chocolate and
enjoying themselves-aI safe, even their
poultry" But if we are to credit the testi-
mony of one of that very company, theirs was
anything but a leisureful or picnic-like ex-
perience. Rather, "they were taking care
of refugees, feeding them, nursing the sick
and wounded, giving shelter to tortured fu-
gitives who had seen members OF their fam1-
lies massacred before their eyes and in flat
violation of Turkish promises" In the New
York Times summary, from which we have
quoted, it is added:
'The French sent relief column
which apparently beat off the Turks for
the moment, but was not strong enough
to hold the town. So the retreat began,
and thousands Of Armenians followed it.
thousand of them at the very least
starved TO death on the way or died of
exposure in the snowstorms. Armenian
estimates put the dead as high as $4,000
or 100000; French official figures set the
number at only 5000"
Evidently the Turk is the same today that
he was yesterday, and as he will be so long
as he has dominion over defenseless Arme-
mans. 1t is almost unthinkable that the re-
sponsible European Governments, admonished
by this latest massacre, will leave the red
handed prosecutors in position to commit
further atrocities.

New York World cogently puts 1t: They

should marry, and ought, for the good of
the country, to stay long in the service; yet'
unless they have private means, how can

ARMY and navy officers cannot be made
to order at a moments notice any more

or engineers. It is the continuous training

opportunities that make these officers, and
for that matter the men themselves, invalu-

expediency and fairness, therefore, they
should be vouchsafed salaries that will war

The Secret Treaties

In the Shantung case Mr.. Wilson recog-
nized the validity of secret treaty. In the
Fiume case he asserts that he is standing
out against the validity Of another secret
treaty, as a matter Of principle. But Great
Britain, France and Italy are aware that the
American argument as to secret treaties was
definitely abandoned when Japan was al
lowed to succeed to German rights in Shan
tung.
1t would be better for all concerned If it
were admitted that Italy acquired concrete
rights under the treaty of London, and that
these rights have to be taken into account
in the Adriatic settlement The dispute over
Fiume has been aggravated by poor diplo-
macy. Nothing of vast Importance is at stake

perhaps, recoup by re-examining the accounts
when the tax is refunded, and asking for

declared, or realized by sale Of the stock

Tough Angora Goats.

On a bleak little island in Mono

HAD LITTLE USE FOR BOOKS
Friend OF Grover Cleveland Boosted
That He Practiced Law "En-
tirely by Ear"

Grover Cleveland had a friend in
nis early days as a lawyer, and the
friend was also a lawyer, although a
asIzy one. Whenever it became neces-
=sary for him to use decision bearing
upon any case he lounged in CIeve-
8and's office and casually wormed the
desired information out of his friends
mental storehOuse.' Cleveland was not
dull TO appreciate the fact and re-
sent the sponging. He resented it
chiefly because his friend was cap
able of better things, and could, if
spurred to it, get along quite well by
himself
One day the friend came In on his
usual errand, and when Cleveland had
heard TIE accustomed preliminaries to
the pumping process, he told him
plainly that the fount of information
was closed, but said Cleveland to him !:
There are my books and you are quite
welcome to use them. You can read
-FOUR own cases." The friend, who was
an excitable man, retorted quickly:
-rSce here, Grover Cleveland, I want
you to understand that don't read
Eaw. I practice entirely by ear, and
you and yOiiT books can go to thun-
.sfsr."

No Husband Is Perfect.

Don't expect all the virtues in one
man. If he is good natured he may
be lazy; if he is scholarly, he may
be cold; if he is thrifty, he may be
stingy; if he is generous, he may be
wasteful; if he is smooth he may be
deceitful. The man who charms you
with his immaculate appearance is
likely to be something of an old maid /;
the man who is careful to pick threads
off your skirt is prone to pick flaws in
you; the man who. takes an undue in
terest in the selection of your hats
may take an undue interest in the bill
which comes home; the man who, be-
fore marriage, jumps to open the door,
lest your fingers be contaminated by
the knob, may after marriage, allow
those same fingers to be contaminated
by the WOman's Home
Companion.

Los Angeles.-Because it was not
shown that dog belonging to E. G.
Ferris had ever bitten any person be-
fore biting Mrs. Alma Westberg in
Wilmington October 2, 1919, Judge
Valentine declined to award Mrs.
Westberg damages against Mr.. Ferris
The law is that dog is entitled to
one bite; after that his owner may
be held liable after being notified.
Judge Valentine said he regretted
the law had been so construed. 1t was
evident that Mrs. Westberg had been
severely injured. Last January Mrs.
Westberg obtained judgment for 1925
in this action, but new trial was
granted.

HAD A DEGREE OF MERCY
Executioners Of Chinese Robber, Sen
fenced to Be Buried Alive,
Shortened His Agony.

A correspondent in China sends the
following:
In Ha Tony, a little village just
north Of Canton city, there lived one
Tsao All Sum. There was shrewd
suspicion that he had stolen many
Oxen-fifteen, to be precise. The OK
is a sacrosanct beast of burden, and
under village law to steal one is a
capital offense. Tsao All Sum stole
his last OK a month or two ago, and
when the hue and cry went out he
fed. He was eventually caught and
he had to face trial before the elders
of three villages, for he had not con-
fined his depredations to his immedi-
ate neighbOrhood. He was found gull
~ and given the maximum penalty,
namely, to be buried alive On the
day of execution the village watchmen
beat the gongs and all the young men
of the village gathered around a rec
tangle eight feet deep. Before TSaO
All Sum was invited to make his rest
ing place in the hole he was feasted
with wine and meat while the elders
performed sacrifices for the benefit of
his soul. The rite being ended two
watchmen lowered Tsao All Sum into
the hole, head downward, and while
all the young men and spectators
shouted the watchmen of another vii
lage shot at the convict with a native
gun loaded with shot which pierced
the body of the victim in numerous
places.

Coral Reefs Ear From Ocean.

Mention of coral reefs naturally
brings to ones mind a picture of palm
dotted inlets girt with white sands in
a tropical sea, but biologists have
found coral reefs in the middle of the
great continents. These, of course, be-
long to the past ages of the earth's
history, and Paleozoic corals have been
found IN the Timan-UralS and in
the Salurian rocks of the New ST.
berian islands, but the most striking
characteristics of these fossil corals
are similar to those of the corals of
today. 1t is assumed that you re-
fer to 4 number of remarkable coral
reefs that. within recent years have
been explored near cambridge, on the
Flint river, in Georgia. These reefs
are ascribed to the Tertiary age, and
in one case a very large portion Of
the reef exposed consisted of coral
heads, some Of which were more than
c foot in diameter. Between % and
30 species of coral have been recog-
nized in these reefs.

PLUMBER BOUGHT A CORoT
And Art Deal Which Family Con-
demned Melted a Profit of $71, 900


1t would seem that the plumbers
capacity for making money is not nee
essarily confined to his business.
William B. Mccormick, writing in
Arts and Decoration, tells Of one with
nothing except his instinct to guide
him who bought a superb Corot that
enriched his estate by many thousands
of dollars.
During the exhibition of a famous
collection of art objects in New York,
twenty-five years ago, the attendants
in the gallery where the collection was
shown noticed an unfamiliar and not
very well-dressed man spending a con-
siderable time each day in front of
Corot's "Lake Nemi," one of the pic
lures in the collection. On making
Inquiries they found he was a we'll
TODD plumber, wholly unknown in the
picture-buying world. It appeared
later that he told his family he intend
ed to buy the painting If possible and
there was fine family row over the
matter. But he stuck to his plan
and on the night the canvas came up
for sale it was knocked down to him
for $4,000. As long as he lived his
family never fOrgave him for his ex-
travagance. But they were forced to
change their opinion of his action lat
er. For when the painting was sold
after his death it brought $4,000. No
single investment of this mans life
time ever brought him so large a profit.
