EVILS THAT BESET
NEAR EAST TOLD
BY EYEWITNESS
DR.. Edgar J. Fisher. Professor
OF History AT Robert College,
Constantinople, Tells OF Poll
tical Crimes And Frightful
Conditions
FIRST RAYS OF HOPE
FROM AMERICAN RELIEF

A large audience greeted Prof Ell.
gar J. Fisher, Phi. d. of Robert College
Co" stantinople at 'he College Avenue
Baptist church yesterday morning.
The pastor. DR. Jno. S. Sewers, ad-
ministered the ordinance of Baptism To
two midshipmen of the Naval Acade
my.
The music by the choir was impre-
sive and beautiful, Midshipman Ber-
ner rendering "Traumerei" with
unusual skill
DR.. Fisher spoke in the interest of
the Near East Relief and was heard
with marked attention. His message
in part follows:
THAT portion of the world which we
know as the Near East is still in the
most distressing and needy condition.
The reason why the need has been so
acute there is because of the terrible
background of Turkish mis-rule and
oppression which eliminated in that
most frightful and horrible of all po-
litical crimes of'recorded history-the
peoples in the Turkish Empire and es-
pecially of the Armenians. Not only
the ordinary and unusual difficulties
and evils of war beset these people,
but the Turkish government furnished
the most terrible instance of an organ
lied state, deliberately seeking TO de-
stroy the ablest groups in the land
After the British had failed to force
their way through the Dardanelles,
the Turks were persuaded that moth
ing stood between them and ultimate
victory in the war; There would be
none to call them to account for the
character of their excesses, and what
ever the Turkish government did to
the peoples subject to them would be
the concern of no outside power, be-
cause it would be a matter of domestic

NAVY'S MUSICIANS
NOW NUMBER Sc

The Naval Academy band has now
reached the number of three score and
eight musicians, an unusually large
number for any musical aggregation
and the largest number of bandsmen
that the Naval Academy has ever had
at any one time.
Director Torovsky, some months
ago had but 80 in the band which now
numbers 6S. The work of directing
this large number of musicians is not
a small one, besides the director has
many other engagements to fill and is
often called upon to furnish music for
patriotic and other entertainments in
the city.
, The music by the band is OF a high
order, and the selections cater to the
better class of music, rather than to
the present day jazz and ragtime
variety.
