ARMENIA'S ONLY HOPE
AMERICAN DONATIONS

| Samsoun, Asia Minor CA Pam
erican charity is keeping alive the
remnant of the dying Armenian ma
ton When all other countries turn
ed deaf ear to the privation and hor-
yors of the Armenian population, the
American people donated 100000, 600
and 300,000,000 pounds of foodstuffs
and relief supplies. Scattered through
out what was once the Armenian state
are today more than 800 American men
and women who are working valient-
ly to save the last vestiges of this
oldest of CHRISTIAN races in this far
off continent
The Americans are concentrating
their attention on the legions of par
entless children which make Armen-
ia the largest orphanage center the
world has ever known. In Trans
caucasia alone are gathered the child
hood Of 100000 Armenian refugees
who fled before the Turks from Erzer-
um, Trebizond, Van and Bitlis Amer
lea has become the foster-parent of
these unhappy, shelterless youngsters.
The Americans have organized 38
hospitals, SO clinics, and numberless
relief stations throughout Asia Minor.
In single month they give medical
treatment to more than 100000 pa
tients. In the Alexandropol orphan
age alone there are more than 5000
children suffering from trachoma
Charles v. Vickrey, head of the
American Near East Relief committee,
who recently arrived from the United
States to supervise the field work of
the organization said recently in an
interview:
1--WE are caring for Armenia's and
Greece's great hosts Of refugees, or
phans and sick in northern Asia. 1t
is colossal task, made possible only
by the liberality of the American peo-
pie But we cannot continue it in
definitely We must make the peo-
pie self-supporting. We are trying
to place full responsibility for the
care of the refugee population upon
the governments concerned The un-
fortunate fact, however, is that the
governments are reluctant to ACCEPT
the obligation Americas heart is the
only one that seems to have been
moved by the deplorable plight Of
these wretched people,

HAS RARE MONEY
Banker Owns Samples Of 'WiIdcat'
Currency

Currency.
A. Z. Robinson banker of STRAIT
ford, S. D., has a rare collection of old
state currency of the time of Zachary
Taylor's administration, dating all the
way from 1S49 to 1862.
The bills are of S5, 50 and $40 de-
nominations and are relics of the days
when banks issued their own cur
rency
These bank notes were driven out Of
existence by an act of congress passed
March 9. 1855, which taxed the circu-
1ation of state banks at 10 per cent
This was done after the national
banking system, which was organized
in 1863 was in full operation, in order
to force the state banks to buy govern
ment bonds, become national banks
and use national money.
Robinson also is the owner Of pa
tent (title) for land in the Green Bay
{Wis.) district, this old patent bearing
date of 1859.

MORE WORK TO
BE FOUND NOW
THAN LABORERS
Free Employment Bureau Has
More Calls for Workers Than
Can Be Filled.

There are more calls for labor
ers today than for the last year.
reports from the local office OF
the Illinois Free Employment bu-
reau show.
The calls which in the most part
are for construction and road
building work, cannot be met be-
cause work appears to have been
found by many, Fred w. Rinck, su-
perintendent of the station, said.
There is more work in the city and
surrounding communities today
than there has been in the last
year, according to E. ID. Fisher,
assistant superintendent.
Although the majority of calls
have been for construction and
contract work, there are quite a
few in factories. These, however,
appear TO be in cities nearby here.
Workers such as general laborers.
firemen, pipe filters, moulders, ma
chinists, and tool makers are need
ed in these industrial plants.
Not Enough Women.
The same condition prevails in
the women's department. Many
day jobs and some household
work are open, but such appli-
cants have not been plentiful
enough to fill the demand. Tenn
porary jobs such as house and
yard cleaning and gardening have
been filled in the last several
months.

from abroad urging America to
participate are received with no en-
thusiasm. The American govern
ment had hoped it could steer clear
of European conferences and is
frankly embarrassed again by the
persistence of the powers who want
America to join with them. 1t is
known that President Harding felt
that the invitation to the Genoa
conference itself was one of the
most delicate situations of his
whole administration. He, does not
want Europe 10 think America will
deny economic help but at the same
time he felt convinced that the
Genoa conference would be polit-
ical in nature and until Europe was
politically stabilized America would
not be in a position to assist n
economic problems.
The European governments have
also anticipated this time one OBJ
lection that Mr.. Harding might
make-namely that the United
States would be committed by the
decisions of the conference on
d. y
stipulates that America would not
be bound, that her advice alone is
sought. On that point, the prevail
ing opinion of officials here is that
the United States has offered all the
advice of which she is capable and
that until the general principles
laid down by Secretaries Hughes
and Hoover in recent statements
are needed there is no use trying
to have any further conferences.
Up to Russians.
If the Russians are to be eX-
cluded and the conference is merely
to be a one sided affair, in which
an attempt is made to reconcile the
conflicting views of Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Italy and the
United States on what policy
should be toward Russia, the opin-
ion is expressed here that American
notes on the subject are already a
basis and that until the Russians
thmselves are willing to accept
those principles no. progress can
be made with the present governing
authorities in Russia.
The expectation is that the United
States will give her advice publicly
in the note answering the invitation
to The Hague conference. If
Russia accepts the principles and
is willing to enter the conference
on that basis, the United States will
be glad to join with the other pow
ers, in the conference.
The episode may develop an era
of note writing between now and
the autumn which may have an i'm
portant effect on the whole situa-
ton. The United States wants to
help and is unlikely TO conf1ne her
declination of the invitation to a
categorical mo" when some
thoughts are expressed which will
still leave the door open to a solu-
ton of the problem.

account, Mr.. LeForgee continued
his objections and Judge Edwards
frequently sustained them, ruling
that Pree was leading the wit
ness.
Governor Takes Notes.
During the examination OF
Luehrs, Governor Small made
notes on the backs of envelopes.
No notices tor remittance OF in
terest were sent to the Grant Park
bank" as they were to other banks,
Mr.. Luehrs said.
AS the examination continued,
Attorneys LeForgee and Schroeder
for the defense repeatedly object
ed. Some of Luehrs' answers were
ordered stricken from the records
by Judge Edwards.
Every question sought to disclose
transactions with the Grant Park
bank" through the safe account. "
The daily cash book or ticker"
was then introduced.
Luehrs said that he had not receiF-
ed or seen any interest money from
the Grant Park bank" during the
terms of Small and Sterling.
LeForgee Objects Often.
This testimony was brought out
over the repeated objections Of Mr..
LeForgee, who declared that all of
Pree's interrogations we're lead
ing questions" and that Luehrs, be-
cause he was not treasurer of the
state, could not competenty an
sWer.
Luehrs said he could not remem-
Der the number or amounts OF
drafts sent to the Grant Park
bank"
The safe" account in the treas
urer's Office was originated during
the Small regime, Mr.. Luehrs said,
by drawing a draft payable to the
Grant Park bank
Mr.. Luehrs was still on the stand
when the court recessed at noon.

Mr.. Vogel was excused when
these exhibits were presented.
Luehrs On Stand.
The state then called Richard
Steele, another clerk in Secretary
Emmerson's Office, but he was not
found and Mr.. Luehrs was placed
on the stand. Luehrs, native ct
Kankakee, became an employee of
the treasurer's office under Len
Small in 1905, and held various
positions in the office under sue
ceeding treasurers.
Mr.. Luehrs testified that he was
promoted from the position of cash
Ter to that of assistant treasurer by
Andrew Russell, and was retained
in the position by the three sue
ceeding treasurers, Small, Sterling
and the incumbent, Edward E.
Miller
Examination of the witness by At
sistant States Attorney Pre- turned
almost Immediately to the much dis
cussed vault" account.
Early in his testimony Luehrs
said records of deposits and interest
under the Small term in the treas
ury from 1917 to 1919, were no long
er in the office.
The witness said, he sent some of
tho records to Small when he re-
tired from office. In doing so Luehrs
said he followed a long established
custom in the Office.
Small Drafts are Gone.
Cancelled drafts of the Small
regime have also disappeared,
Luehrs said.
! The witness said there is no
longer in the treasurer's office at
Springfield records showing the
name and number of banks in which
state deposits were made by Small.
There are no records showing the
amount of deposits or of interest
earnings, he said. Examination then
turned to the safe" account.
C. C. LeForgee frequently inter-
posed objections to Mr.. Pree's
questions but Judge Edwards over
ruled most of The objections.
Drafts on the safe" account
were made payable to the Grant
Park Bank" the institution around
which the whole case largely cen
tiers.

NUT CLUB CHOOSES
CHARLES BARTH AS
ORGANIZATION HEAD

Charles Barth defeated John G..
Huntoon for reelection as presi-
dent of the Nut club at a meeting
at the Watch Tower Saturday night.
The election was a clean sweep
for the "antis," because George R.
Stephenson, vice president, was de-
feated by John W. Tremann for the
office which Stephenson has held
some time. and Sheriff John G.
Miller was victorious in his cam
paign for secretary and treasurer,
defeating P. G. Greenwalt the in
cumbent.
The slight friction occasioned by
the contest was forgotten however
in the good fellowship of the an
nual dinner, and the successful
candidates were ultimately elected
by reclamation.
