Worlds Newest Republic

The newest republic in the world is that of Ar
menia though at present it does to be doing
the Armenians very much good These long perse-
cuted people still the hunted game of the Turks
and the old rule of determination is being steadily
applied to them 1t is not one-sded story by any
means. The Turks say they have for what they
do in the business acumen of the Arnenians
saying of that part of the world the effect that
Armenian is the equal of three Jews in bargaining
The Armenians seem to have the ability to
very quickly from adversely and usually their recovery
is at the expense of their Turkish oppressors. On the
other hand, the Armenans have the religious plea !;
they say that because they Christians and the Turks
Mohammedans, their suferings nothing
less than persecution of their faith The
Armenians have been Christians since the year 285.
They came under the rule of the Turks in 154. Dur
ing the past 40 years. Armenian revolutions and Tur
kish massacres have been numerous. The Peace Con-
ference has granted Armenia chance for its life but
the means to avail itself of the chance has yet ap
peared Turkey remains as always the knot that di
plomacy works over in vain.-Exchange.

FIRST MUSICALE IS BIG SUCCESS
New Britain Musical Club Pro-
 gram Is We'll Received

The New Britain Musical club gave it's first musicale of the season in the Grammar school auditorium last evening. The program was an unusual ly interesting one, the numbers being carefully chosen and well rendered.
 The program opened with a solo fantasie by Mendelssohn played by Miss l.. NJ. Littlehales. Miss Little hales showed wonderful technical power and her selection was we'll received. Miss Earnest. a new mem- Der of the club, with a high so- prano voice gave a group of modern songs in a most pleasing manner. X quartet composed of Mrs. Horton. Mrs. Futile. Mir Stuhlman and MT. Latham. gave an old traditional air and Tschaikowski's Legend" in a pleasing manner.
 Miss Parker and Miss Tomassoni favored with a two-piano number from the Third Suite and were well received: The solemn and majestic .Confutatis' from Requiem Mass was '0Ing by August Klein and was easily the vocal gem of the evening. Mrs. Horton, who is always a favorite with New Britain audiences. was at her best last evening. In the duet with MT. Stuhlman and in the songs of the Chinese group she was a decided hit
 Mr. Latham and Miss Schade con- tributed Chaumode's Nocturne and were also we'll received. The pro- gram closed with the brilliant "Rhap- sodie." by Chabrier and was played on two pianos by Mrs. Andzulatis and Mr. Hart. Other musicales are being planned by the club and an active season is looked forward to.

THEIR PATH OF LOVE
 IS NOT ROSE STREWN
Youthful Springfield Couple EI- perience Difficulty Trying to Wed

Tine wedding intentions of a couple
 from Springfield. Mass. were tenn
 porarily halted here yesterday. and for
 a time no little excitement existed
 around police headquarters on Com
 mercial street The cause of the whole affair centered around James
 Yamin, who gave his age 21 years. and Victoria Abdow, a buxom lass and an arrival in this country from Assyria only a few months ago. While the girl insisted yesterday that she is of marriage age, her uncle, who was prominent yesterday. claims that she is but 14 years old.
 The youthful couple, as the story stole away from Springfield and on arrival at Hartford. an attempt to secure a marriage license was fruit less. The couple then made their way here. and the young man went at once to City Hall, where he gave his address as 51 Hartford avenue. and that of the girl as 262 Elm street. The ages of the couple was given as 9 and 21 years respectively.
 ' Ii was only short time after the granting of the marriage license that a message was received from Hart ford. inquiring as to the whereabouts of the pair. Policeman Peter McAvoy and Herberr C. Lyon were sent out in quest of the couple and they were brought to the station. Then the
 fireworks began.
 An uncle of the girl. who is her guardian. has mapped out a plan for his niece whereby she was to wed a Porto Rican of elder years, but whose purse was considera ble in excess of that Of Yamin's. That the girl was opposed to such a union was evinced by the racket she made when the uncle called attention to his plans at the poHce station. Uncle claimed that the girl was not telling the truth about her age. exhibiting n passport which showed the girl to be but 14 years old. The girl. however passed the buck by asserting that this was done in order that she might make the trip across the Atlantic Ocean at half price.
 Yamin was not without friends, his father and other acduaintances arriv- ing here about the same time as the rival forces. The elder Yamin was satisfied as to the wedding. but uncle remained obdurate. The girl claimed that he was a 'islave-zrIver" and she did not wish 10 return to live with him. After listening to the wild and gesticulating for sonie time, Captain Grace declared an armistice and ordered the couple with their relatives to go back to Spring. field and report to Captain Guilty.

Married Man and 16-year-old Girl Beave Town on Same Day-Both Worked in same Factory.


 The absence from their homes in this city of two weu-known young peo- pie, has given rise to the rumor that they are in each others company, somewhere.

In her complaint she said that there were reasons to believe that he had gone away with Mary ReCor aged 16 years. of 17O Glen street This morning the father Of tho girl reported to the police that his daugh- ter had left home Saturday and was still missing.
 Gregory, who leaves several small children. and the girl that he is al- leged to be with, were both employed at the New Britain Machine company. Prior to his employment at the fac tory, Gregory worked as a conductor on the local trolley lines. He is as years old.
