The people of the United States

support OF the average, everyday
folks. who love their country and Its
institutions because of what those in

tomorrow and who do not desire spe-
cial privileges at the hands OF the
Government.

FATE OF ARMENIA

By DAVID M. CHURCH.
U.,ernationaI News ssrviee.)

President Wilson today virtually
holds the fate OF a nation born out
OF war-Armenia.
Two requests are before him with
regard 20 Armenia One comes from
the allied premiers, and invites the
United states 10 accept a mandate
over Armenia. The other Is a resolu-
ton passed by the Senate requesting
the Tgesident to dispatch an Ameri-
can warship and marines to Armenia
TO protect American interests.
The presidents decision upon these
two requests will have a vital bear
ing on the future OF the new nation
OF Armenia.
Needs Protection. "
Official information from allied cir
cles which has reached here indi-
Gates that unless the United states
takes a mandate over Armenia that
nation will be without the protection
OF a large nation and may suffer the
fate OF an unprotected small nation
beset on all sides by hostile tribes
and nations.
The request OF the Senate NAV
prove TO be the opening wedge for
American protection for Armenia, II
was believed by high officials here
today. II the President accedes TO
the request OF the Senate he will have
established an American force In
Armenia, which may be enlarged suf'

a mandate.
The President has not indicated his
attitude toward an Armenian man.
date, but those close 10 him declare
that he has felt that opposition by
Congress would stand as a barrier to
the possibility OF such a mandate.
In facing the situation the Presi-
dent must choose between two
courses, either he must reject the
mandate and let the United states
stand as unwilling to share the bur-
dens of Europe, or he must accept the
mandate with the consequent new
financial burdens for the United
states. with the Treasury already un-

"The whole question is how far
altruism Is replacing self-interest as

commented.
Judging Py the reports Of pront-

truism." Senator Kenyon responded.
During the war altruism seemed
to be the dominating factor or prin-
ciple in production" Hoover said.
The pendulum seems to have since
swung the other way"
Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mex

The Bond
Election

me announcement WAS made
IN tins paper some lays ago
that an election to Issue S35, 900
bonds To erect IL new school
building had been ordered for
the 29th of this month. Since
this announcement the matter
has been the subject OF general
discussion, but it is doubtful
whether the Importance of this
election and the necessity for
this bond issue is thoroughly
understood by every one. In
order to keep the matter before
the people, the plan proposed
10y the School Board may be
briefly renewed here. Their
plan, as stated in the announce
ment some days ago, is TO erect
a new building near the present
one. This new building is to
be large enough TO nccommo.
date the high school depart
ment. 1t will consist of six
class rooms, large study hall,
laboratory rooms, etc By tax.
ing the high school out of the
present building, it is estimated
that sufficient space will be pro-
vided for Cadet and the Sou
thern depot. At present there
are more than 100 pupils enroll
ed IN these communities who
have only the poorest kind Of
school facilities. 1t Is unfair
to permit these children in these
communities To go without the
advantages enjoyed by the 9th
er children of the district The
primary object of this bond is
sue Is to provide ample room in
well equipped buildings where
every pupil in the district may
have good instruction. Those
pupils too small To walk to the
main buildings should be trans
ported at the expense of the
district and that liz what the
beard proposes to do.
lt IL gratifying to know that
the people generally favor the
plan proposed by the school
Board. But it is well to re-
member that the best evidence
of our interest in education and
IN the welfare of the children
of Big stone Gap is to come ont
on election day aud vote for the
new school building 1t il of
the greatest Importance that Il
large vote be polled; for us rv-
cry one knows the bond market
is dull ut this time, and unlcss
u large vote III casl for issuing
these bonds it may be hard to
sell them. We have faith in
education; we believe 1t is the
best gift that can be bestowed
ON those who are To come after
us; then let us act on this faith
and have more and better edu
cation.
