Homeless Waits at Erivan Rail-

"Time after time since the outbreak
of the world. war, the Armenians have
made brave attempt to cultivate their
land. And time after time some new
disorder has prevented them from gather
ing their crops or laid waste their fields.
before the grain has ripened and been
gathered in.
AFTER two years of American relief
activity it seemed last fall as if we would
be able to reduce our program in Russian
Armenia to the care of the children we
had gathered into our orphanages. But
then came the new invasion, crops were
trampled down in the fields, live stock
was carried off, and the peasant population
were driven from their homes.
We may not be able to save all Of the
helpless refugees who are now crowded
in this territory, but we certainly cannot
desert the hundred thousand orphan
children who are now in our orphanages
or under our protection in the Caucasus,
Anatolia, Cilicia and other devastated
areas of the Near East. Last spring,
when our supplies ran low, 5000 of these
children died out of total of 10000 in
one of our orphanages. These children
are absolutely dependent upon aid from
America and will perish if our aid 10
withheld.
Next year, if further chaos can DO
avoided, possibly we will be able to
reduce our program, but prompt action
is necessary now or for thousands there
will be no next year"

as we consider oil, coal, steel, dye
stuffs, and so forth, as sinews Of ma
tional strength. Our growing popula-
ton and higher standard OF living
demand increasing food supplies, and
more wool, cotton, hides, and the rest.
With the disappearance OF free or
cheap fertile land, additional acreage
and increased yields can come only
from costly effort. This we need not
expect from an impoverished OF un-
happy rural population.

of the rural discomfort. or to appraise

This is peculiarly an age Of fiux and

The whole rural world is in fer
ment of unrest, and there is an I'M
paralleled volume and intensity or de-
termined, if not angry, protest, and an
ominous swarming of occupational con-
ferences, interest groupings, political
movements and propaganda. Such
turmoil cannot but arrest our atten-
ton. Indeed, it demands our careful
study and examination. 1t Is not ike
ly that six million aloOf and ruggedly
Independent men have come together
and banded themselves into active
unions, societies, farm bureaus, and 30
forth, for no sufficient cause.
Investigation of the subject conclu-
sively proves that, while there Is much
overstatement of grievances and mis-
conception of remedies, the farmers
are right in complaining of wrongs
long endured, and right in holding that
1t Is feasible to relieve their ills with
benefit to the rest of the community.
that contributes, in the raw material
form alone, about one-third Of the ma
tional annual wealth production and
is the means of livelihood of about 40
per cent of the population, it is OBJ
vious that the subject is one of grave
concern. Not only do the farmers
make up one-half of the nation, but
the well-being of the other half de-
ponds upon them.
SO long as we have nations, wise
POLITICAL economy will aim at large
degree of national self-sufticiency and
self-containment. Rome fell when the
food supply was too far removed from
the belly. Like her, we shall destroy
our own agriculture and extend our
sources of food distantly and precari-
ously, If we do not see to 1t that our
farmers are well and fairly paid for
their services. The farm gives the
nation men as well as food. Cities
derive their vitality and are forever
renewed from the country, but an i'm
poverished countryside exports intelli-
gence and retains unintelligence.
Only the lower grades of mentality
and character will remain on, or seek,
the farm, unless agriculture is capable
of being pursued with contentment and
adequate compensation. Hence, to en-
bitter and impoverish the farmer is to
dry up and contaminate the vital
sources of the nation.
The war showed convincingly how
dependent the nation is on the full
productivity of the farms. Despite
herculean efforts, agricultural produc-
ton kept only few weeks or months
ahead of consumption, and that only
by increasing the acreage of certain
staple crops at the cost of reducing
that of others. We ought not to for
get that lesson when we ponder on
the farmers problems. They are truly
common problems, and there should
be no attempt to deal with them as
II they were purely selfish demands
of clear-cut group, antagonistic to
the rest Of the community. Rather
should we consider agriculture in the
light Of broad national policy, just

Goethe, the Great German Poet, Visits
Forest and Discovers the
Philosopher of Coal
(Told In Eight sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. Ill
THE PHILOSOPHERS OF COAL

In 1771, there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken, in Germany, chemist
named Stauf. He was an eccentric old
man who had an idea, far ahead of his
times, that many things beside coke
could be obtained in the combustion Of
bituminous coal.
Stauf had constructed number of
ovens over burning mine and treated
coal so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke
and SCOT. That was quite forward
step and although he lived in the
depths of forest the great minds of
Europe heard of his work. In fact,
Goethe, himself made pilgrimage to
the ovens of the far-seeing chemist
and in his autobiography wrote strik-
ing comment on his visit to the Saar-
brucken forest:
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into human ear, the lean
decrepit, little man, with a shoe on
one foot and slipper on the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up in vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where
the pitch house stood which he had
built himself and saw with grief now
falling into ruins. Here was found a
connected row of ovens in which coal
was to be freed from sulphur and
made fit for use in the iron works !;
but at the same time they wished also
to recover the oil and pitch, and in
deed, did not want to lose the lamp
black, so that all failed together on
account of the many ends in view."
Goethe. who dubbed the chemist of
Saarbrucken "Kohenphilosoph" or the
Philosopher of Coal, wrote his COM
mentary less than century and half
ago. What would be his comment to-
day could he enter one of the great

FROM WORLD ANGLE
The Midland Journals Weekly News
Review Prepared BY Expert of
World Experience and

World Experience and
Training.
Those of The Midland Journal
readers who follow the weekly news
review of Edward w. Pickard from
week to week are we'll informed re-
garding the principal happenings of
the world.
With mind trained by world
travel and study and long years of
experience in the news-writing pro-
fession, Mr. Pickard is we'll fitted to
prepare the excellent, comprehensive
review of world events which The
Midland Journal presents to it's
readers weekly. He was born at
Madison, Wis; graduated from the
University of Illinois at 81; has COW
cred a considerable portion of both
hemispheres; was special CORES
pendent in Venezuela and other
South American countries; bicycled
through rural England and France,
sojourned in Fiji, Samoa and other
sat-of-the-way places; has written
turing his travels for leading publ
cations, contributing new and inter
esting facts on the age-old subjects
of men, countries and governments;
also has occupied high executive
positions on metropolitan news
papers, and now is attached to the
editorial staff of large newspaper
service corporation.
In preparing his news review, Mr..
Pickard does not pretend to touch
every happening, but separates those
accomplished facts OF permanent
importance from the unimportant
mass of news and gossip which is
printed today and forgotten tomor-
row. Mr.. Pickard's explanation of
the meaning of events chronicled is
especially valuable. A careful study
of this news review each week forth
fies the readers with facts and sound
opinions regarding them which he
might have desire to discuss with
his friends and neighbors.
