THE ARmEN1Ays AGAIN.

That there should be an uneasiness on the part of the Armenians who are in Cilicia as to what Is likely to happen to them after the withdrawal of the French troops is only what has been anticipated since the signing of the treaty between France and the Turkish nationalists.
 France has made deal with the na- tionalists whereby 1t recognizes them as the real responsible Turkish govern ment, whereby 1t gets certain railroad concessions and the right to work certain rich mining regions for a ieng period of time. In connection herewith and in addition to the recognition thus ex- tended France agrees to give up its claim to Cilicia and to withdraw it's troops therefrom and there are also pro- visions regarding boundary questions in that region.
 Since France has maintained troops in Cilicia there has been protection given to the 0,ooo Armenisns located there. i With the departure of the French troops, der the treaty, these Armenians are left 1 to the mercy of the Turkish nationalists 1 The Armenians have had their exper!- i ence. They dread the Turks as they would the plague and they have good and sufficient reason for 1t. The whole world has been wrought up over the
 manner in which those people have been treated and yet there doesn't appear te 1 be any assurance that they will not be
 subjected to the same kind of atrocities
 that have been inflicted upon them in
 the past. Thus 1t is natural that the Armenians should appeal to President
 Harding and want to know what kind iof safeguards have been arranged fo, them It VII certainly be deplorable il France and the other ntaions of Europ,
 which are the natural guardians for thai region, are to leave them like sheep be fore the wolves.

coIored Effects in Handkerchiefs.

Colored Effects in Handkerchiefs.
 The colored handkerchief has ap- parently come to stay this season, Printed effects are numerous but not quite so much in evidence as the hand drawn numbers with colored embroid- cry in seed sitch. These are shown both in the colored linen and in white linen with colored applique designs combined with the embroidery. For example, a handkerchijf has a two row drawn border in black on white linen and simple square in a pastel
 shade completely edged with a flower border.
 Other applique effects are to be seen on both the above mentioned types of handkerchiefs and the colored
 model with plain hemstitched hem
 This applique frequently takes the color, and may be geometrical in its l severity, squares and rectangles be- 1 ing neatly set in a border in severa 1 instances, and whole borders of ap- lique being used in others.

DAWES COMPLETES
EFFICIENCY PLANS
Federal Purchasing and Liquidating
Boards to Be Under Presidents
Direct Control.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-Budget
Director Dawes last night took the final
step in +perfeeting executive control of
government business. He announced the
and a federal liquidattng board. under
executive orders, signed by President
Harding yesterday. Other steps that
have led up to the establishment of the
two boards were creation of cO-Ordlnat-
ing machinery, through a system of corps
area co-ordinators and the creation of
the office of surveyor general of real es-
tate.
Director Dawes said the mechanical
set-ups for absolute control by the Pres
ident over all of the ordinary business
transactions of the government have been
practically completed. He said:
The chief defect in government bust
ness administered heretofore has been the
absence of executive control concerned
with the policies of the government as an
entity. as distinguished from the large
number of separate departments and in
dependent establishments. each doing
business independently, with little refer
ence to each other.
with the assumption by the Presi-
dent of the responsibility for administra-
tive business. he has, by these orders,
created the agencies through which his
authority will be transmitted in such
matters to the organization
Heads of all departments were directed
by Director Dawes to designate a repre-
sentative from their department to serve
as a member of each of the purchasing
and liQuidating boards.
Chief CoOrdinator Smither has been
instructed by Director Dawes to assem-
bic members of the two boards together
as soon as their appointments have been
made
The power to purchase government
is now centralized in the federal pur-
chasing board. 1t will be the policy also
to decentraize the actual administrative
matters dealing with nurehases.

Company L to Play Last & Wood Heel

The Brattleboro local league will be
back on schedule tomorrow afternoon,
when Company | begins its series of

followed by game with the ). A.
Owing to conditions which have
arisen the schedule for the last two
Saturdays has been changed a little and
viii now be played as follows: Sept.
Company / viii play first the s. A.
Smith Mig. Co. and then the Last &
Wood Heel Co., and on Sept. 10 viii
play a double header with Fort Dunn
mer
The real test of the season comes in
these last six games, which should be
real suappy contests. for these are i'm
portant games and viii be the ones that
determine which team Is to be cham
piou OF the league. This is especially
true Of the first four games between
Company |. the 5. A Smith Mfg Co.
and the Last Wood Heel Co.. as all
these teams have Il good chance to cop
the honoTs. The :. i. Smith Co. outfit
holds a little advantage at present but
has got to keep playing ball all the time
to come through, as the loss of one
game will give either of the two other
teams an opportunity TO step on their
lead.
If Company | can win two games to-
morrow they viii go into the lead,
while on the other hand if the s. y.
Smith Co. wins and the Last & Wood
Heel Co. loses the former will be in a
pretty soft position for the honors.
Should the Last & Wood Heel Co. win
and the s A Smith Co. lose, all three
teams viii be in a tie for first place.
There's bound to be something doing
every minute The first game starts at
? p. m. and Umpire Connally says he s
going TO keep them moving all the time.
