shot and killed Talaat Pasha. former
Grand vizier and Minister of Finance
OF Turkey, was acquitted in the Assize
Court here to-day.
The jury which tried Teilirian was out

SHOUTS of bravo" by the spectators in
the court room.
Teilirian was Immediately liberated.
He was surrounded by fellow Armenians
who embraced and kissed him.
Teilirian in his defence asserted that
his mother, who was murdered in 1915
during the massacres in Armenia, had
appeared before him in a vision and ex-
horted him to kill Talaat -n revenge for
the massacre of 100000 Armenians.

ment declaring the inclusion OF land
forces in the disarmament conference
would add confusion and prevent ac-
complishment OF real results. Mr.. Gar
retts proposal was TO leave the ques-
tion or land disarmament and the in
clusion of other nations 20 the discre-
tion of the President.
In the House to-day Mr. Mondell said
IF we are 10 act on this matter we
should act upon it. not in concert with
one or two nations that may arrogate
TO themselves supremacy in the world.
but after discussion with the nations of
the world interested in these matters,
and Furthermore, when we consider the
question of disarmament we should con-
slider the question of disarmament on
land as well as on sea- We should con-
slider the question OF naval disarmament
or reduction of armament. and not
merely the reduction of programme. as
the Borah amendment provides"
Senator Borah's Statement.
Senator Borah in his statement said
ut seems to me II those who are 'sug-
gesting that the disarmament amend
ment be broadened TO include land forces
as well as naval forces will reflect upon
the situation as it now exists in Europe.
they will readily conclude that TO
broaden thus the amendment is to kill
the whole proposition. 1t is impossible
to make any headway at all in the way
of land disarmament at present in Eu-
rope.
with reference To naval disarma-
ment, the situation is entirely different
The three nations which are now ac-
tually engaged in a naval race are the
T,.sf Ctat taf, .t,I
who are expending millions, even bill
ions, in building navies. and they are
the only three Powers which bid fair to
enter into competition for the next
twenty-five or fifty years. So far as
land disarmament is concerned. 1t does
not make any difference to the United
States, as matter of security, how
many troops France has. The House
has very wisely limited our army to
10000 men. France has an army OF
500, 900.
'Iir other words. If we are sincerely
going forward with the question Of dis
ornament and sincerely desirous Of cur
failing expenditures and reducing the
chances of war, we will start where we
can start and make progress. and that
Is with the naval Powers which are now
In actual naval building competition.
Il would not want to be understoo
ss saying that all who have suggested
including land forces as well as naval
forces are against disarmament. but /
ask those who are sincerely in favor Ct
disarmament TO observe that all those
who have been opposed to disarmament,
and who are now opposed to 1t, and all
the enemies of the cause are enthusiast
tically for including land forces.
ut was my privilege to read letter
written by very prominent man in the
business world TO a party in Washing
ton-and I quote almost his exact lam
guage-in which he says: Disarmament
can best be handled by delaying 1t. and
the best way to delay it is to insist upon
land disarmament as well as sea dis
armament. 1t will then take care Of
itself"

President Harding will not interfere
in the present fight between Senate
and House over whether the Borah
disarmament amendment to the naval
appropriation bill should be broadened
TO include land forces and navies of
other nations than Great Britain and
Japan, it was learned at the White
House to-day.
Through his informal fselers to other
nations, the President already has
taken comprehensive disarmament
steps and he does not believe any pro-
posal adopted by Congress would dis
rupt his plans. although it was indi-
that he thought it might prove
to be wiser for Congress to place no
on him. However, there is
little disposition in Congress to limit
the President in any way.

Both Sides Are Firm.

Meanwhile both Senate and House
leaders made it plain to-day that they
intend to stand by their positions on
the disarmament question. The fight may
prevent passage of the naval bill be-
fore July /. the beginning of the new

become necessary.
Democratic leaders of the House
united with the Republicans in favor of
extending the scope of the Borah amend

give to the President a clear road to
invite other nations than Great Britain
and Japan and to include the question of
land disarmament in any international
conferences.
The sending of the naval bill to con-
ference was blocked by Democratic
leader Garrett. who insisted that the

leaders argued that the conferees should
be free to accept the wisest proposal.

To travel through Central Europe

this heartrending picture: First, is
the outward cheerfulness of suffering

next month will see an improvement
in their pitiable situation. Secondly,

Two years ago statesmen of
France and England feared general
Bolsheviki revolutions in the hunger
lands. Today this fear is practical
ly vanished. The object lesson of
starving Russia under Red rule holds
forth no hope to the hungry of Po-

Danger may exist in the form of
Red invasion engineered by the Red
Rulers at Moscow; but this threat
is generally considered quite remote.
Poland, where the Americans are
feeding 100000 children daily, has
seen further unheard of increases in
the cost of living. Prices have ger
orally increased 1000 per cent.

Millions are starving slowly. Their

are not drying up into skeletons, like
the famine victims of India and Ar

Austrian sufferers have starvation

most complete absence of albuminous
elements and fats in food and the
eating of unusual quantities of vege-
tables grass even-after which these
hordes, marked for death, drink enor-

bloat results.
