HnzCley and Hides

Tariff commission experts In.
formed Mr.. HawIey that one cent
a pound ON hides would mean ten
cents more on shoes. He estim.
ated that four cents a pound
therefore, would amount to 40
cents more on shoes, and would
he $40. 100000 for the 76,500,-
600 shoes of the farmers. An
other $4,000, 900 would be added
to other leather products, chiefly
harness, the farmer uses, or q
total increase Of $38,600.00O to
the farmer. This is $4,000, 900
more than the tariff would yield
him.
other people of the country use
203,5O0,OGO pairs Of shoes, and
the 40 cents increase would be
$S1,4OO, 900. with $5,O00,OOO ad-
ded for other leather product,
making a total of $S6,000,000.
This makes a total of about
$125, 100000 that the tariff
would add to the leather bill, not
including what the tanners and
manufacturers would charge adj
ditional in payment of interest ad-
the investment.
But why does Mr.. Hawley sim
gle out hides, when many hides
are marketed by his constituents
in Oregon? Why should the
stockman and farmer be asked to
take his hides to a free trade
market when the woolgrower and
fruit grower Is protected" by a
practically prohibitive tariff?
Mr.. Hawley might study other
phases of the high tariff system
with profit to his constituents,
and to the country at large.

ARMEN|ANS SUFFER
LIKE THE BElG|ANS
BUT FATE WORSE THAN THAT
COUNTRY, SAYS CAPTAIN
GRACEY
EASTERN AUTHORITY

Startling revelations about condd-
tons in Armenia, were made by Cap
tain George Gracey. B. 8. O., an au-
shorty on the Eastern question, dur
ing a recent address, the following
extracts from which are sent by Mary
land headquarters, Near East Relief.
Armenia, declared Captain Gracey,
was not unlike Belgium, but the suf-
fering in Belgium, as the result OF the
German invasion, was not to be COM
pared with that Of the Armenians.
And the Armenians are still suffering.
In the autumn Of 1914, said Captain
Gracey, the Turks sent emissaries to
the national Congress Of the Ottoman
Armenians, then sitting at Frzerum,
and made offers of autonomy IL they
would actively assist Turkey In the
war. The Armenians replied that they
would do their duty individually, as
Ottoman subjects, but that as ma
ton they could not work for the cause
OF Turkey and her allies. On account,
in part of this courageous refusal, the
Ottoman Armenians were systemati-
cally murdered by the Turkish Gov.
ernment in 1915. Two-thirds Of the
population OF Armenia were extermi.
mated by the most cold-blooded and
tiendish methods-more than 100000
men, women and children. Thousands
of men, women and children were de-
ported. In this scheme of exterm1na.
ton 100000 died before the deporta.
ton plan was completed.
Over 1000 Of the younger men were
hurled down cliffs and killed. When
a river was to be crossed, the women
and children would be made to un.
dress and the Turks would then take
the jewelry that was concealed about
them. 1t was no revolutionary society
that held the Armsnians together, said
the Captain, 1t was their religion.
One Armenian priest was seized By
the Turks and his Bible burnt, the
same IRE being used to scar his face,
arms and legs. Then he was shod
with iron shoes, ~ II he were q horse,
and he was made to run about with q
Turk on his back. To end his agony.
the priest threw himself in q well.
But he was taken out by the Turks,
who then beat him to death. But
there were even worse things done
than this, said Captain Gracey.
The Americans, Captain Gracey
pointed out. are supporting 100000
orphans and there are still 100000 un.
provided for. He had received q let
ter, stating that Russian soldiers had
given up parts Of their rations 80 that
some of the Armenians could satisfy
their pangs Of hunger. The soldiers
could not see them suffer. For him
self, Captain Gracey said he looked
upon these Armenian children as II
they had been his own, and they were
as dear. There were 10000 orphans
alone In the little town in which he
had been working.

Hawaiian Islands.

A Spanish navigator Arst discovered
the Hawaiian islands in 1855 but his
country laid no claim to them and they
were practically forgotten. The
British Captain Cook visited the
Hawaiian group in 1878 and named
them the Sandwich islands. Still the
islands were practically unknown.
Thep, following the close of the Ameri-
can Revolution, American ships began
to sail the seven seas in growing
numbers, and in 1889 the first ship
flying the Stars and Stripes-from
Boston--visited the Hawaiians. 1t
was the first Of many from the same
port, carrying traders, whalers and ad-
venturers; and soon the natives had
learned of the republic on the con.
tinent to the east, and came to con-
