EriHan

Erivan, latest capital of Armenia, which press reports say has been recent ly pillaEed by bolshevik conquerors is the subject of the following eommuni- cation to the National Geographic Soci- ety from Maynard Owen Williams. MT. Williams, who has been collecting infor- nation and pictures for the Society in the new countries of Europe and Asia, writes
 Tn Van and Erivan the Armenians had two of the most delightfully."- situated cities. Van, the ancient capital, backed by ten thousand foot mountains, looks across the wonderfully blue lake of the same name to the rough crater rim of Nimrud and the perfect cone of Sipan, with the snowy ridge of the mountains of kurdistan to the south. Since the spring of 1918 when the Turks swept through toward Tabriz, oArmenian has lived in that ill-fated city over which wa, washed in repeated waves of terror and destruction.
 "Erivan. the new capital. is situa ted on the northern edge of the wide phir of the River Arax, which stretches from that city to the slopes of r 900 foo Ararat ,one of the worlds lordliest noun tains. It was the city toward which the Armenians retreated time and agair during the war and it has been the cjty around which Armenian nationality has centered during the stormy period since the armistice.

SHIFTING COACHES.

That Guy NickalIs was due to go as the head coach of the Yale crews was plainly indicated from the sad showing which the Yale crews have been mak- ing this season. It is true that the big contest on which Vale bases it's efforts and hopes has not as yet taken place, but certainly he would have to work miraculous change in the accomplish rnents of the crew in the remaining few weeks in order to give it look in at he finish over the four-mile course on he Thames. From the rst to the last '0ntest in which Yale has participated his season there has been nothing to indicate that the coaching efforts were reducing improvements.
 This is not the first time of course that
 Nickslls methods have failed to bring
 rrfion. At other times there has a.. much uncertainty and yet under he Nickalls tutelage Yale has won. There was a time when there was just esson for the claim that Nickslls should 'e given a fair chance and proper time "a which 10 get his English methods thoroughly presented. but after the rsars Of instruction that he has devoted ,o the production of winning Yale crews 'utsrminEled with the repeated lack of confidence in his ability to produce re- su'ts there can he no surprise that 1t has been decided to terminate his ser .ices as coach. The results thus far ir.s season have been such as to war -snt him in presenting his resignation without waiting to have it asked for
 The only surprise that is occa stoned ny the announcement of his resisna ton Is that it was not sought and did not ,ome until after the crews had been brought 10 the Thames and within less than three weeks of the late for the soason's big contest.

CONGRESS AND DISARMAMENT.

The differences between the senate and house as thus far indicated concern n- disarmament concern the manner md extent 10 which the plan shall go. soth branches of congress are undoubt- sdly in favor of the idea of reducing our expenditures for armament prOrided 1t can be done in concert with other ma ions and without leaving this country 70 the mercy of another.
 The indications are that the lower house of congress is going to urge dis armament proceedings along different lines than has been voted in the senate. By the house resolution support would be given to the course which has al- ready been taken by the president through the state department in getting he sentiment of other nations concern .nE disarns ment. It would give the con current approval of congress to the de- ,lared purpose of the president to call an international conference to limit ar mament and would provide a fund of S1OO. .Oo0 to meet the expenses.
 By the house resolution an under standing of all nations is sought instead of an agreement among the three lead inE naval powers which is the idea of he Borah resolution in the senate. In addition the house resolution gees fur her than that in the senate inasmuch as it concerns matters afeld as well as those ahoat and therefore intended to nore thoroughly cover the subject of iisarma ament
 With tho endorsement of the presi- ient and in keeping with his action it bids fair to get much support and be- >suSe it covers the matter of armament n all respects and not simply in one there are reasons why it should. With the house taking more complete view of the disarm ment matter it indicates that congress is of one mind on reducing armament and that the two branches only need 10 get together on the extent To which it should be carried out. Ob- jection has been raised 10 the senate plan on the ground that it would mean sn entsngling alliance with Japan and Great Britain. but such does not exist u the plan that the president proposes To follow and which is endorsed by the house resolution.

Gokcha. with a famous old monastery on an island near it's western shore, and through these mountains some of them more than two miles high, there winds the well built military road which leads to Akstafa and TAhs. Steep ascents are negotiated by intricate hairpin turns and the views as one dashes along in motor car are a lovely succession of prosperous valley and wooded mountain sides.
 "Erivsn, is also connected with Tifiis Georgia and Tabrz. Persia, by a railway, which however, has been in opera tion very little since 1918. In March of 191S the American workers who had built up a large warehouse and many kinds of workshops in Erivan, were forced to leave. Two of them. John Elder and James Ar rol. who had gone down through the Caucasus. to open Y. M c. A work, re- mained behind and did what they could to alleviate the sufferings of the people until the road to the outside world was open.
 Surrounded as they have been bv many foes the Armenians of Erivs n have passed from one terror to another. They have had dealings with Turk and boisnevik in an effort to save what is left Of the vanishing race.
 Twelve miles away toward the River AraT. the Armenian Swanee, there ia the quaint little town of Etehmiadzin, the home of the Armenian Katholasos, who is chosen by the entire Armenian na- ton, including those in India and Rus sia as well as those In Turkey and Per sia, and who is the spiritual head of the national church which has been the kernel of Armenian national life for centuries.
 "Lrivan itself is a place of little in. terest, although it contains the ruins of Turkish fortress four centuries old l and the Blue Mosque of Mussein Ali Khan. whose enameled tiles rival those at the Tombs of Shakh Zindi in Samark- and. Each year in this Christian city there is passion play depicting the assassination of Hussein, the son of Ali enacted by the Mesiem population. There it stands, nondescript city between the mountains into which tht | helpless people have repea tedly retreat. ed and the rich plain of the Arax, dot. 1 ted with the ruins of Armenian and Tar. 1 tar villages. And across the hazy plain standing alone in it's majesty rises thu huge mass of Ararat, snow-capped anC

 priests long since copied their headgeai

 now gaze with little hope.

PuERL.o.s sIrIrArInN-

That there will be an adequate re- spOnse to the call for assistance to re- lieve the situation that has been cre- ated by the flood in Pueblo goes with out saying. It makes little difference where such a disaster occurred in the world this country is always eager to lend it's assistance. Wherever it has occurred in this country the helping such will be the case of the Colorado city.
 Pueblo faces big problem not only in meeting the present needs of the in- iured, homeless and otherwise stricken people but it must look well to safe guarding the health conditions and then give thought to reconstruction. Situated as it is Pueblo can hardly hope to avoid s repetition of such a flood should like conditions again prevail. The Arkansas river responds quickly to the melting of | the winters snow and the heavy rains No way has been found whereby the | city could be skirted by the river in- 1 tead of having it go right through its center. Pueblo therefore appears to be l fated to experience trouble of a more or less serious na ture when the elements work in unison, quite the same as those communities are within the earthquake or tornado sections
 l Disasters of similar kind have been quickly followed by reconstruction ef- forts and there is no reason to believe bu twhat Pueblo will rebuild and con. tinue to grow and prosper. The time I. at hand, however, when, if such a thint is possible, efforts should be made to sr locate the residential section that il would be in the least danger should
 similar flood conditions again prevail
 Loss to industries and public buildings i. bad enough but it is far preferable to tn,
 destruction of homes and the heavy los of lives that can be expected when dwell
 ings are involved. Control of the Ar kansas river is something which non, can hope to accomplish but that onl, urges the necessity of so building tn city as to guard against the known dan
 ger as much as possible.

THE WAR CRIMINALS.

What was looked upon as a good be- ginning In connection with the prescott tion of the German war criminals has petered out quickly While prosecutions were underway and those charged with mistreating prisoners of war were being found guilty and sentenced to imprison- ment it was realized that If those i charged with much more serious crimes were treated In a similar manner there would be reason for feeling that Ger many was disposed to see justice done. It was, however, in the more serious cases that Germany was expected to
 show it's hand and that is what it has done in the first instance where the ac- cused was charged with sinking a hos pital ship.
 The commander of the submarine pre- sented for sinking the Dover Castle has been discharged, in spite of the fact that his act caused a large number of deaths of non combatants and sank a ship that should have been permitted to go unmo- tested because of the service in which it was engaged It was not shown that it was carrying arms and ammunition or even troops, but it was insisted that 1t was carrying wounded soldiers
 instead of those wounded in naval op- eratiOns and that it was not on the course prescribed by the Germans. How ever the reason for the acquittal of the commander who sank it was that he was carrying out the orders of superiors and ' those orders were 8 part of the war poli-
 cies of Germany.
 1 That indicates about how much can | be expected from the prosecution of the
 war criminals. That very same plea
 will in all probability be employed in
 connection with all the others on the
 list to he prosecuted. But how much
 more successful will be the effort to get
 those higher up is uncertain. The indi-
 cations at the present stage of the trials Is that those most deserving of punish.
 ment will escape it and that the good beginning that was made will prove tc have the proverbial bad ending. Ger.
 tainly If only the subordinstes are go ing to have punishment meted out fol the violation of the rules of war tht prosecution is bound to be farce.

CURING BURLEsONIsMs.

Tn connection with the return of the post office department to the policy of giving the people the service they de- msnd and pay for instead of trying to zee how big surplus can he rolled up through the failure to give service. it Is not surprising that demands are already being made for the return of the postal mail tube service in the large cities.
 lt is only three months since the new administra ton has taken hold of the Dostofhce department, and while it is too soon to expect the many deslrab ble re- suits that are looked for 1t has been plainly indicated that new policies are in use and that betterments will come as fast as the needed improvement of the service can be accomplished.

"Are you going to the wayfafers' hunt ball?' I asked Jean McGreeor, new member of the Dix Amies club.
 No, Lucille, I'm not invited" she re- piled. T don't know any of the Way farers."
 That's so, you are sort of stranger yet in Chicago. We Dix Amies girls must see that you meet a lot of eur friends soon. It will be pleasure to me to help you extend your circle. Jean"
 Thank you ever so much" she an- swered gratefully. Coming from a small friendly town, think I'm indeed lucky to fall into such a delightful group as the Dix Amies. I wish I could do some thing to show my appreciation Of all your kindnesses to me"

 "It's really the regular English hunt ing pink, Isn't it? I thought if you were going to the Wayfarers' ball you should wear it. But as you're not I'm wonder ing whether you could let me wear it. It would certainly add tremendously tt the sayety of the hunt ball. The clut would owe you a debt of thanks"
 Why, yes certainly, you may veal it if you wish. Lucille. Do girls wear each others clothes here in Chicago?"
 Not often, you dear little countr! mouse" I laughed. Only some yer! special thing for some very. special oc cason once in a while"

They are equipped to do that and do 1t speedily and the quick handling of the mail is one of the requirements of good postal service Thus when demands are being made for the restoration of this aid to better service there are req sons to believe that the new postmaster general will give the matter his careful consideration.
 The throwing of the work that was done in other days by the tubes upon wa gons and autos worked unsatisfactor- fly. It was one of the errors of judg- ment made by the last postmaster gem eral and the correction needs to be taken up as speedily as possible.
