ARMENIA IN DANGER.
Volcanic and Seismic Activity Still
Lurk, Scientist Says.

Volcanic and Seismic dangers con.
tinue to threaten devastated Armenia,
according to information supplied the
Potomac division of the Near East
Relief by George Otis Smith, director
Of the Geological Survey.
The statement was given In reply
to request for advice by the relief
organization, made to the geological
department of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore. The inquiry was re-
ferred to the Government bureau.
THE recurrence of severe shocks in
this case may be due to various com
plicating circumstances attending the
faulting in the rock formation, but it
does not necessarily presage the COM
ing of a climatic catastrophe" DIR.
Smith said. There is, of course. the
possibility of volcanic outbreak. but
as to that nothing definite can be fore
told. In any event, 1t is Of utmost i'm.
portance that a close watch be kept
for signs of activity among the vol.
canoes of that district. The region
affected, which is in the vicinity of
Mount Ararat, is known to geologists
as having been the scene of repeated
disturbances, both volcanic and seis-
mic, during relatively recent geologic
times, and even within historic time.
1t seems not at all improbable that the
region will be visited by renewed dis
turbances in the future, although a
really great catastrophe may not oc-
cur save at intervals of century or
more. In view of the extreme sever
ity of the present severe shocks. it
seems likely that the train of after
quakes' will be a long one, over a pc
riod of year or even several years,
yet normally these 'afterquakes' are
a guarantee Of the stability of the re-
gion for some time to come"

PAY RAISE URGED
. FOR YALEFACU[TY.
Income From 10000, 900
Fund to Be Used for Teach
ing and Research.
By the Associated Press.


NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, November 10.
Because the need for ':recon-
struction of salaries" at Yale Univer-
sity is so acute, the income from the
proposed $40 900 endowment fund
is to go wholly for teaching and re-
search work, President James Row
land Angel said in a campaign state.
ment sent yesterday to 10000 alumni.
To fail in the drive which alone will
make better salaries possible would
mean that Yale would have to. drop
out of the front rank among univer-
stiles, he added.
The appeal says that each Of the 81
departments which furnish the teach
ing service of the II schools of the
university is suffering for lack Of
funds A typical example cited Is that
of the department Of economics, socio-
logy and government wherein the aver
age salary of full-time profes-
sors is. $500; the average for
assistant professors is 1886, and
for instructors. $1,000. After the
endowment drive is completed, the
plans call for increasing salaries
until the average of full-time profess
sors is $7,O79 for assistant profess
sors, $3,313 and for instructors, $2,27O.
Also there would be new appointments
In large numbers to the higher and
middle ranks.
Yale teaching salaries are now only
so per cent above the 1918 level. 1t Is
pointed out, while the cost Of living
was 779 per cent higher in Decem-
ber, 1925, than it was in 1913.

WINCHESTER, Va, November 10.
The bodies of three men who fol-
lowed John Brown, noted abolitionist,
In his raid on Harpers Ferry, Va. q
little more than 67 years ago, were
brought to the old Winchester Medi-
cal College for dissecting. 1t was re-
vealed by DIR. William p. Mcclure,
last Of the old-school surgeons, who
died here this week at the age Of 81.
Winchester was an important medi-
cal center. Most Of the faculty Of the
first college were University of Penns

were so eager for practice they spent
many nights diggings UP bodies in
country graveyards. The practice
continued during the early part of
the Civil War.

a traction magnate par excellence, and some of his franchises are soon to expire. What connection this fact had, if any, with his astonishing liberality in backing the successful candidacy of Frank L. Smith for the Senate is yet to be tackled by Senator Reed. And there is Sena- tor William B. Mckinley himself, an Illinois traction potentate who spent the neat sum of s350.O0O to .set defeated. It will be remembered that only s195,0OO was spent on behalf of Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, which slight sum raised quite a scandal and ruction at the time.
 It is clear from the Illinis figures disclosed so far that somebody from that state is not entitled to a seat in the Senate if the august members continue to exercise their function of determining whether a member got there in the proper manner, assuming, of course, that the election will be as successful as the recent monetary primary.

Due to his val uable assistance a large number or disabled veterans and their wives and children owed it to him when they received their due promptly. Cases which ordinarily would have taken two months to adiudicate went through his hands in a week S time. so that his reputation as an expert in these matters received wide recognition.

VIOLENCE IN MEXICO

Mexico is q big country, and it would be remarkable indeed if during the present warfare be- tween the government and religious bodies that some sort of violence did not fructify here and there.
 That there will be bloodshed on a large scale, however. is unlikely. In the first place. religion does not de pend upon violent measures for it's success; and in the second place fighting he government with it's own weapons is yielding too much of an advantage to the possessors of the military and the gendarmes. A species of passiV" resistance IS much more likely 10 result favor ably: but al best the outlook is anything but pleasant. 1t is hard to fight a government apparently bent upon the extermination of religious faith i'll whole or in part, and on the other hand it is difficult for a government to dictate what citizens shall and shall not believe. After much travail inc probabilities are that working compromise will be found under which both sides to

PRESIDENTS GOOD
 ADVICE

In taking official cognizance of the American tourist situation in Europe, particularly in France. President Coolidge has done American citizens travelling abroad a service, at the same time gently histing to our European critics that the tourists always possess the all formative of spending their money on this side of the Atlantic if con- ditions become too unpleasant on the other side.
 The gist of the Presidents ob- servations undoubtedly were that Americans abroad owe it to them selves and the reputation of their country to conduct themselves with circumspection. There is little to justify the opinion that they have been doing otherwise, but few foolish tourists can make 1t hard for many others whose conduct is devoid of criticism. Judging by what has been taking place in Paris, the fault has been entirely with the handful of irritated Frenchmen who have taken it upon themselves to show their displeas- ure of Americans by attacking sightseeing busses.
 American tourists deposit $500, 100000 annually In France. This is no mean sum to leave there, and the French tradespeople like it. If some Frenchmen make conditions so obnoxious as to interfere with this flow of gold, then the loss will be chiefly Frances. Tourists will not be inclined to go where they do not find a wholehearted wei come, and in the opinion of many observers France is going to lose considerable American tourist trade in the immediate future.

POLITICAL STATE OF THE BAY STATE

Massachusetts can be relied upon to furnish an interesting political campaign largely because the Democratic party in the state has sufficient numbers to yield a good kick in every election, and because the party has several strong lead CTS, or vote-getters. Although the western part of Massachusetts is safely Republican" no one can forecast with accuracy what may happen in the mill towns and in Boston, especially when a strong man like former Senator Walsh is running.
 Walsh finally has come out with his candidacy against Senator But Ter. The battle no doubt will be one of the most warmly contested Of the year, taking second place to none in the wide eXpanse of the Union. The situation now is pretty well understood; Senator Butler. high in the councils of the grand old party, is regarded as one of the special proteges of President Cool idge, and it is taken for granted among the Bay state Republicans that the defeat of Senator Butler in the state from which President Coolidge stepped 10 the vicepresi- dency and thence 10 the presidency, will be a blow against the chief executive of the nation himself. The cry, stand by Coolidge" will mo- where be more pregnant with meaning than in Massachusetts this year.
 Of the gubernatorial nominations less can be said. Colonel William A. Gaston, an old war horse of Bay state Democracy, is going to run again. His two defeats as a governmental candidate have not left him hopeless. However, there is something to be said in favor of Joseph B. Ely of Westiield, who is said to have been given to under stand that none of the recognized Democratic leaders would oppose him for the governorship nomina- tion. He sailed for Europe under this impression. and while on the high seas Chairman McGlue of the party made the announcement that Gaston would run for the ifomina- ton. The other Eubernatorial can didate. John ]. Cummins, who has been out on a very wet platform doubtless will withdraw. There can be little doubt that Colonel Gaston will win the nomination. Whether he is elected is another thing alto ecther. If Walsh gets the big vote he is expected to receive, the state may be treated to the spectacle oi seeing Gaston flying on the tail Of Walsh's kite. Under such circum- stances there IS no telling what may happen during an off year.
