 The family are making their tour un- der auspices of the Near East Relief, the big organization which has saved hundreds of thousands of the people In that part of the world from death by hunger and cold and is soon to open nation wide campaign for funds to complete the work of saving the sur vivors, more than half million of whom must perish unless aid comes to them soon. America is their only hope.
 General Azgapetian served gallantly in the Russian armies in the Caucasus against the Turks His wife, who ac- companied him to the front, did noble work for the wounded and sick, and 1t was while in this service that her baby was born in hospital tent during a battle. An army blanket swung from two poles in one corner of the tent was the baby's crib during the rest of that terrible winter campaign. With the collapse of the Russian armies after the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape- tians returned to Armenia for brief spell and did their best to alleviate the suffering they found on every hand. But with Turkish price on his head the father finally made his way with his family through Russia to Finland and then to this country.

OYSTERMEN FIGHT FOR LAW
Oystermen and Crabbers of Crisfield
Hold Meetings Protesting Legislation

Oystermen and Crabbers of Crisfeld
Hold Meetings Protesting Legislation
So strong is the feeling at Crisfeld
against legislation pending in Mary
land General Assembly, providing for
a productivity taxi on oysters and
crabs, with a view of portecting the
industry, that meetings are being held
to protest against the enactment of
such legislation. The interest is so
great in the matter that public prayer
services were held in several Crisfield
churches Sunday, the ministers pray
ing for the "deliverance of their peo-
pie" from the hardships which would
be placed upon oystermen and crab
bers by the passage of the bills. The
churches were filled with men and
women.
For a week public meetings have
been held almost nightly, at which
speeches protesting against the bills
have been made. The bills in ques-
ton were prepared by the COnserva-
ton Commission, and provide for in
creases in fees for inspection of oys-
ters, increases in crabbers and tOngers
licenses, and a shipment fee of five
cents on each box of soft crabs and
five cents on each barrel of hard
crabs.
"The taxes are known as "produc-
tivity taxes" They are designed by
the Conservation Commission TO yield
revenue to be devoted to the protec-
ton ond conservation of oysters and
crabs, not only in the waters near
Cnsfield, but in the entire Chesapeake
and tributaries. The commission has
/ declared that the additional funds
/ from the oyster industry are to be de-
voted to the transplanting of small
oysters from the waters of the Upper
| Chesapeake 60 more fertile bottoms in
the lower bay, where they attain large
size and are profitable to oystermen
As Crisfeld is the centre OF the
oyster and crab industry in Maryland
the burdensome taxes from which no
pecuniary benefit is Immediately in
sight, fall most heavily upon the resi-
dents of this town. The bill providing
for taxes on shipments of crabs was
reported unfavorably last week to The
House.

Farmers Enthusiastic

The Chesapeake Flax and Linen
Corporation has been organized in
Delaware to foster the growing of
fax and has established a factory at
Elk Mills Cecil county, to handle the
raw product with the expectation of
starting a similar factory in Della
ware. William Ray Baldwin, of Elk
Mills, Cecil county, is president; Will

ice-president and G. Howard McCur-
key, secretary.
The subject of flax growing has al
ready been taken up and enthusiastic
cally received by the farmers insti-
tUtes of the Maryland and Delaware
Peninsula. The reason for the inter
est of every household on the penin-
sula in the undertaking is that it gives
promise of lowering to a considerable
degree the cost of linen in finished
products.
The Chesapeake Flax Company
having obtained the right for this
state and Maryland, proposes to oper
offices in Baltimore and Wilmington.
The plan is to pay the farmers SC
much per ton the day they cut The
flax. One of the advantages to the
farmers, it is said, will be that a croI
of flax natures in 80 days and the ac
reage devoted to the growth can bC
Put into some other crop the same
season. AS it is planted in April anC
natures in June, the company pro
noting the undertaking will try Il
have a large number of farmers star
the crop in the early part of mex
month.
Besides the value of the flax for it
fibre, the seed is of great commercial
value, some Western farmers grow
ing flax for the seed alone.
1t is understood that if the under
taking becomes successful in this an
the adjoining State of Maryland
other companies will be organized /
promote flax growing in other farm
ing States throughout the country.

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The Re

toed today by President Wilson.
Such a method of making peace
with Germany, the president said,
would place an ineffacable stain up
on the gallantry and honor Of the

Without announcing his intention
regarding the treaty of Versailles, the
president declared that the treaty en-
bodies the important things omitted
by the resolution, and said by reject
ing the treaty the United States had
declared, in effect, that it wished Ito
draw apart and pursue objects and in
terests of our own"
Doesn't Mention Objects.
President Wilson added that the
peace resolution omitted to mention
many important objects for the vindi-
cation of which the United States en-
tered the war.
Such a peace with Germany" the
message continued, "a peace in which
none Of the essential interests which
we had at heart when we entered the
war, is safeguarded, is or ought to be-
inconceivable; is inconsistent with the
dignity of the United States, with the
rights and liberties of her citizens
and with the very fundamental con
ditions of civilization.

RAT|ONINC OF GAS
BEGINS THURSDAY;
LITTLE RECEIVED

Rationing of gasoline in Richmond
began Thursday when distributing
companies and garages agreed to limit
sales to two gallons to persons driving
pleasure cars and five gallons to truck
owners, provided they have no supply.
II the tanks Of the cars contain a
generous supply the dealers will not
sell additional gasoline.
Failure of transportation companies
to make deliveries of cars of the fuel
are assigned as reason for the ration
ing rule. Cars have failed to arrive in
numbers sufficiently large to take care
Of the normal needs of the community.
To Divide Supplies.
AS cars arrive now the supply will
be divided among the dealers who in
turn will sell small quantities to users.
A total exhaustion of the fuel may be
avoided by this method.
Dealers are asking drivers of cars to
be niggardly in their use of gasoline.
Pleasure trips and 10y rides" should
be eliminated, they say. All unneces-
sary driving must be avoided, il the
supply is not to be exhausted, they
said.
Richmond is not the only city affect
cd by the shortage. Reports to the
Indianapolis Office of one distributing
company yesterday showed that so
out of 81 of it's stations were without
gasoline.
