MODERN EVE IS
 AFTER AID FOR
 STRICKEN FOLK

LONDON,-(Pl- There is wom an in London around whose story the minstrels of old would have woven many ballad, says the Daily News.
 She is the Lady Surma di Bith Mar Shimun, sister of the ruling patri- arch of the Assyrians. the present. day remnant of the once powerful nomadic tribes which inhabited Mes opotamia before the incursions Of the Arabs The country whence she comes has been identified by some with the Garden of Eden
 Travelling by steamer, by train and on horseback, she has come altogether some 5000 miles from town 800 miles beyond Bagdad to plead. as the agent of her people, for the restora- tion of lands lost by them when they took arms in behalf of the allies against the Turks and Kurds.
 Driven further and further into their mountain Businesses by repeated invasions and massacres. the survive ing 22.00O of her people have been gathered together at Bakuba, where they are living under the protection of the British civil and military au thorities
 T came to England much against my will" said the Lady Surma who speaks English perfectly. 'I have never been to Europe before. But there was no one else to come. My brother, the late ruling patriarch, waa killed by Kurd treachery; my youngar brother, who succeeds him, is ill and another brother is serving. The peo pie would trust nobody else.
 Tt may seem strange to you that a woman should be chosen for such 8 ditIcdlt task, but 1t has been the t:adition oI our nation that 'No sister of the reir should take the VOW ct ceiibac, and act as he' brother 8 ho'rer during his reign"
 The territory for which she is plead ir& with the British go leInment is tpe oldest known to historians. Ii lies south of the Caucasus and north or the Iuphrates and + the scene of many incidents in the Old Testa- ment story. The life of tbe people who have been Christians since the days of the earliest teachers, has been one long story of persecution, eliminating in their flight over the mountains in 1917-1S.
 "Our villages were razed behind us" said the Lady Surma, "all our focks have been driven away. our money stolen and exhausted, our books and documents burned. We are a people without country"

COACHMAN AIDS LADY AST0R TO
 GAIN ELECTION

PLYMOUTH England (Pt-It was an up-todate Man on the Box who guided the desttnies of Lady AstOv'= campaign to determine whether she would be the first woman commoner of England.
 More than a score of newspaper correspondents who traled Lady Astor during her electioneering and tuokottng about Plymouth had dim cultv for some time in learning in advance where she intended to make her next appeal for votes. The req son developed when if was learned that ii was neither Lady Astor no,
 Lord Astor who was guiding her
 bulky old coachman-C -Churchwood who had been serving the Astor fam lily thru three political battles, He acknowledge that he had been made dfroctor-genoral of Lady AstoI'> campaign.
 Si)k-hatted and ofttcious executives of the unionist party held council
 daily and drafted the candtdate'- strategis moves. but it was Chaurcn- wood-also silk-hatted tho less o07- ctous-who really determined whether these plans should be executed or vetoed.
 Lady Astor would enter her car riage in the morning, Churchwood would whip up the elegant pair Of so}rels and the candidate would roll away unmindful of whither she was bound. If ChmchwoOd from his vqn- tago point saw a street-cOrner gather ing or a lowly abode where Lady Astor might get a hearing he would rein in the horses without asking leave, and let her do the rest,
 When the speech and the ensuing
 cross-fre of questions had ended O" when ChurchwOod sensed wan ing in the interest of the auditors he would jerk a pre-emptory thumb in the direction of the back seat saying: Get in" WhereupOn Lady Astor would resume her place in the
 carriage and it would proceed to the next halt.
 When Lord Astor ended the pre- vious campaign, Churchwood deliver ed his felcitations and went back to his regular occupation as stableman
 with one of the Plymouth coach services. But this time he was am bilious. as he cOnfided to the cores pondent of the Associated Press, to journey to London with Lady AstOr herself, who was more certain of the outcome of the election than Church wood
 He was hopeful that in a few months he would be driving her from her residense to the house of com mons and waiting for her to finish harranguing the house, but was bit feaful lest she should elect a motor for her London needs. In that event ChurchwoOd intended to reserve his curly-comb and hoOf-hock and go back to his livery stable to await the next AstOr campaign.

WASHINGTON D. C.. Jan. 9.-(P
 The split which appeared between President Wilson and William ! Bryan on the league question as a climax to the Jackson Day banquet yesterday. is not regarded seriously by democratic leaders in this city altho many acknowledge that it could have serious consequences for the party Altho there is some division in sentiment, it is apparent that most of the democratic leaders are willing 10 accept the judgment of Mir Wilson, especially so in view of the status of the treaty fight in the senate.
 In fact, observers are generally Of the opinion that the divergence of views expressed by the two leaders does not really represent any break in the party The situation, they say. must settle some before any accurate Judgement can be formed Some wondering is being done as to the probability of MT. Bryan carrying the fight to the floor of the national dem ocratic convention in San Francisco next June
 PUT IN RECORD
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. Jan. 9.-(41
 Al the morning session of the sen ate today, Senator Hitchcock, leader of the administration forces in the treaty fight, by unanimous consent, had the message of President Wilson to the democrats at the Jackson Day banquet inserted in the Congressional Record as being pertinent to the treaty situation A similar effort was made to have a letter of Mir Bryan and in speech made by him in an, swer to Mir Wilson's proposals in serted in the record. This failed when Representative Guard. of Ohio, democrat refused unanimous consent.
