Ben Keefe Umpiring

We note by the Waukon papers
that Ben Keefe, former well known
resident of Winneshiek, but who
now lives over near Dorchester, is
umpiring ball games at Waukon, and
they say he does the job well. Ben
rs former big league player and
when he was in his prime was one
of the best catchers who ever donned
a mask and he has played in some
fast company. We will wager that
Ben will umpire right, and it will
take a real clever one to slip any
thing over on him.

the Armenian Christians who have
suffered so terribly at the hands of
the Turks He related what he knew
of the outraged womanhood OF Ar

death and being fought for by vicious
police hounds; and Of the faithfulness
of the helpless Turkish victims to the
Christian belief.
Tells Experiences

with the bodies of dead Christians

years the Turks have caused the loss
through massacres of nearly one half
of the entire Armenian population.
They, have deliberately picked 500, 900
of the best of Armenia's womanhood
and are@ planning to bring them into
the Mohammed belief"
He gave much credit to the British
soldiers for the protection rendered
the helpless women and children, but
was scathing in his denunciation of
the way in which France has failed
TO protect the Christians. His appeal
for Armenia was as much for, or
more, because OF charity. il.
