the American people. They look to us
as the human agency to extricate
them from the frightful situation in
which they have been left as a cOnse-
quence of the war;
If we should fail to aid them, starva-
ton and the winters cold would go far
to completing the work done by the
unspeakable Turk.
l have not seen with my own eyes
the misery In which the Armenlans
now exist. l have been spared that.
But the reports which have been
brought in by agents of the Near East
Relief and by representatives of the
Peace Conference paint picture of
wretchedness inconceivable to those
who have not first hand impression
Of the savagery of the Mussulman.
Exiled From Homes.
Since the beginning of the war the
Turkish Armenians have been largely
refugees from their homes. simple
agricultural people. they have been
exiles from their farms, deprived of
all opportunity to support themselves.
Year by year their sufferings have in
creased. Now, year after fighting
has ceased, they are still living the
life of nomads, able to continue to
keep alive only by virtue OF American
philanthropy.
These homeless people-"filthy inf
dels" to the Turk--were good enough
to exert their poor might in our be-
half while the war was still In the
balance. Massacres of half century
had not so broken their spirit that
they dared not fight for right and for
democracy when justice was the issue.
We accepted their aid then. Surely
we shall, not pass them by without
compassion now.
The day has passed when any self
respecting man dares permit Absorb
ton in his own personal affairs to ex-
clude consideration of his neighbours
well being No honorable man can
knowingly allow his neighbor to hun
ger or to go unclothed. The Christian
peoples of the Near East are our

In other years of our own free will
we sent missionaries to Turkey. Our
schools and colleges and hospitals
have played a wonderful role In hui

Our ideas, our educational resources,

WOODCHECK
CLEAREDUP
~ex-hationaI Committeeman"
Got $4,000, Not CoIladay,
e.. Is Explanation.

The mystery OF the 5000 check to
the Wood campaign fund, which Will
liam Loeb. Jr., OF New York, told the
. Kenyon investigating committee he
sent to "a Republican national COM
mitteeman in the District OF Colum-
bia" Is solved-at least, so far as Ed
ward +. Colladay Is concerned.
Mr.. Colladay. who is the present Re
publican national committeeman for
the District, today made public a let
ter from Mr.. Loeb concerning this
much-debated $1,000 which wipes sus-
81 am In receipt OF your letter OF
July 3d." wrote Mr.. Loeb. "and / am
sorry IL my testimony caused you any
embarrassment.
II find l was mistaken in saing that
j sent Wood campaign funds to the
Republican national committeeman OF
the District OF Columbia and have
since learned II was an ex-national
committeeman"
This clears the matter up for Mr.
Colladay, as Mr.. Loeb hoped II would
do, but the question is now being
whispered about: "Who Is this ex-
national committeeman"
Maybe Senator Kenyon will try TO
1nd an answer to II IL the committee
renews Its probe into campaign ex-
penditures.
Mr.. Colladay has been greatly an
noyed by the publicity that resulted
from mention of the fatal $4,000
check. He wrote Mr.. Loeb, request
ing an explanation
Il am the Republican national COM
mitteeman of the District of Colum-
bia." he wrote, "and neither, nor our
organization or any members thereof
have either directl yor indirectly one
cent from you or any other representa-
tive of General Wood or of any of the
other candidates for. the nomination
for the Presidency. The only money
that l or our organization used was
small amount voluntarily con-
tributed by District Of Columbia Re
publicans and none was received
either directly or indirectly from any
source whatsoever"

TRIED TO BECOME
MILDLY BY FRAUD
Naval Academy Discovers Pros
peotive Student Had Another
Take His Examination.

ANNAPOLIS, Aug 5-Naval Aced-
emy authorities have discovered an
attempt on the part of youth who
had been appointed to the Academy to
secure entrance as a midshipman by
having another candidate imperson-
ate him and pass the examinations
for him.
The latter had already passed the
mental tests and had been admitted as
a midshipman before the matter came
to light. Both made a clean breast
of the affair before Capt Anon Bron-
son. acting superintendent of the
Academy and representative of the
Department Of Justice.
The penalty may be as great as i'm
prisonment for ten years, but 1T has
been determined, in view of the youth
f the offenders that criminal charge
will not be pressed. The youtuh who
took the examination has been drop
ped from the Academy, and the APP
continent of the one who was imper-
aonated has been Cancelled. The
Academy authorities have withheld
the names in the case.
The candidate who had taken the
examination for the other had been
examined physically. A slight dis
qualification ha dbeen found, but it
had been waived, and he had entered
as midshipman. He was inter-
viewed an dadmitted the whole af-
fair, and when the second candidate
arrived he did the same.
Incidents of the kind have been
suspected in previous occasions, and
at least one similar occurrence detec-
ton as the examination are held at
uoints all over the country the sub
;titution Of another person is not diff
ticult though ultimate detection is
probable,

The chilean.Peruvian Dispute

As in the of Kipling's "The Man Who Would Be a King" who declined to complicate his ambitions with matrimony until "a damned sight solder" the throne than he then was, the assembly of the League of Nations is feeling it's way and side-stepping disputes which involve tional selfishness of the members of the league
 In these as in all disputes there is aggrieved party and a party of aggression. The former the one hand may weary waiting and withdraw from the league The latter. the other, may withdraw rather than submit the dispute with the probable result that justice may done and that it may be deprived of the fruit of Its aggression. The assembly may reasonably believe that until the leagues posi- ton is stronger than it is it is better to hold such disputes in abeyance. and that there is less likelihood of disruption in statu quo than in in- reference until the machinery of the league has beeen completely adjusted
 Thus, the assembly hesitates to take up the Tacna-Ariea dispute between Peru and Chile which, it might have been predicted, would be of the first to be brought forward. This is forty-year old quarrel growing out of the between Chile one side and Bolivia and Peru the other. It s one in which the principle of sef-determinaton by peoples is most plainly involved.
 The war began in the late seventies over the nitrate deposits in the region along the in-defned boundary between Bolivia and Chile Per0 was

TO THE CORP. coM,s4

A recent dispatch states that the liner Leviathan was so overrun with rats that the stokers were forced to seek refuge on an upper deck. When bunch of cats were thrown into the hold to devour the rats, investigation, so the story goes, divulged the fact that the rats ate the cats. This moves us to run the old gag about the ruy ranch, which is set forth in the follow ing letter:
 Knowing that you are always on the lookout for business propositions of a promising nature, take the liberty of presenting to you what seems to be q most wonderful business, in which you will no doubt take a lively interest and perhaps wire me the amount of stock you wish to subscribe towards the for nation of this company. The object Of this company is to operate large cat ranch in or near Rumble Bee, Ariz., where land is cheap and ideal for this purpose. To start with, we will collect. say, one hundred thousand cats Each cat will average twelve kittens per year The skins run from ten cents each for the white ones to seventy five cents each for the pure black. This will give us twelve million skins per year to sell at an average of fifteen cents apiece, making our revenue S1O.- 900 per day, gross.
 1 4 man can skin fifty cats per day for two dollars. It will take one hum dred men to operate the ranch, there fore the net profits will be nine thou sand eight hundred dollars per day. We will feed the cats on rats and for this purpose we will run rat ranch next door. The rats multiply four times as fast as the cats. If we start with one million rats, we will have four rats per day for each cat, which is plenty.
 Now, then, we will feed the rats or the carcasses of the cats from which the skins have been taken, giving each rat one fourth of cat.
 It will thus be seen that the business will be self supporting and automatic all the way through. The cats will eat the rats, the rats will eat the cats and we will get the skins.
 Awaiting your prompt reply and trusting that you will keep this from publicity. I am.
 Respectfully yours,

drawn into it. The war lasted, including brief truce four years ended with the battle of Mira flores, decisively in favor of Chile. In the treaty that followed Bolivia up in perpetuity the dis puted province of Antoagasta containing the nitrate deposits and Peru surrendered the province Tar apaca Peru also gave up for period of ten years the province and the seaport Africa which has a good roadstead and is Of the outlets for Peruvian trade and for practically all the Bolivian trade.
 Under the treaty the future of Tacna and Africa was to be determined by plebiscite at the end of the year period but Chile availing itself of it's in depreciation of the language of the treaty has not yet permitted plebiscite be held This s brief y, tne matter presented to the assembly of the League of Nations and it is question which, if preached by each of the disputing nations spirit of justice would seem to be easy of settlement-by the simple process carrying out the intent of the treaty whether effective in ten years forty years.
 From the present course of Chile it appears that that nation would withdraw from the league rather than run the risk of having to surrender Tacna On the other hand, if Peru finds that it cannot cure from the league, least, the enforcement of a plain treaty and that there is nothing left it but to justice naturally the reasons why it should remain in the league is not apparent to it. With Argentina practically out of it and with and Chile each uncertain of It's fortunes in the league. hold of latter upon South America is most insecure.
 If the United States were in the league this matter might be the easily settled. With the United States of it, the South American nations that they have little the efforts of the league to enforce it's Judgments the western continent But that will not be long until the United States will be able to exert a pacifying influence in this and other disputes which threaten the world at various points
