Distressing Story Of Turkish Bru.
tality Related to
Rotarians.

Bringing stories of the brutnlities he has
witnessed practiccd upon Armenians and
peoplc Of the Near Fast, DIR. Paul $.
Leinbach Of Philadelphia, one Of tho mcm-
bers Of the Near East national organiza-
ton made short address before the MEM
bcrs of the Rotary Club at it's weekly
luncheon in the Hotel du Pont today.
AT LIS o'clock he addressed large meet
ing of women workers and this evening
will speak before heads Of labor unions.
DR.. Lcinbach returned from abroad
last fall and during the months he was IN
the Near East section-Armcnia, Syria
and Mesopctamia he says he saw enough
TO make life pessimistic for the remainder
Of his days, il he permitted his mind 20
dwell upon the horrors.
Because of the limited time allowed by
speakers at the Rotary Club, DIR. Lein-
bach was unable to do much more than
refer very triety to some OF the things
that he considered were among the best
reason for Americans coming to the and
Of the Near East campaign.
The most important reason why Amer
ica should aid, he said WAS because this
country had the money. European conn-
tries are more or less suspected IN every
thing they do and America appears to lie
the only nation in a position To help who~e
PURPOSES are clean Another and very
important reason, DR.. Lcinbach said, WAS
because no Armenian can return TO his
or her home unless that section Is pro
tected by Allied troops.
Il have seen the Turkish soldiers threa-
en- the Armenians," said the speaker
"and tell them that the next time they are
going to start to eliminate the race by
starting at the cradle.
''The sights that come from the lurish
harems are enough TO sicken the stoutest
heart, Girls, IA, Is and 16 years OF age
are mothers and their physical condition
is deplorable There arc IO0, 600 girls snd
women living in these harems. have seen
thousands OF women who have been In
mates Of hsrems but who have been cast
out when their beauty began to diminish.
These unfortunate beings bore the hated
tattoo marks either on the hands or face,
that forever announces their shame.
Zone of the things that appealed TO be
most strongly was the need for caring for
the thousands of children who are IN need
of home, clothes and food. The children
are bright and intelligent and America
is ready caring for 100000 of them.
There are 10000 others who need to be
looked after"

QUIET ON SURFACE
IN POLICE CIRCLES
Department Affairs Appear Nor
NAL Again, Though Develop
ments Would Not Surprise.

Police department affairs appear nor
NAL once more. In some circles, however,
il is intimated that beneath the surface
thcrr is lots going on and that 1t would not
be surprising for some more developments
TO take place in day or two.
A persistent rumor In circulation Is
that legal proceedings will be instituted
contesting the validity of the ousting of
the two detectives by the Board of Police
Commissioners, without charges being
preferred against them or without them
having trial. This report, however, cam
not he verified.
Attorney General Reinhardt would not
discuss the subject, but it is expected that
the matter will no doubt be revived at the
bearing before Magistrate Gluckman
this afternoon, when William p. Mason
will be arraigned for crap shooting and
Walter 4. Hanley for perjury.
These two cases are being prosecuted by
he office of the Attorney General and the
outcome will be watched with much in

ments will hinge largely upon the result
