100,000 HOMELESS
ARMENIANS WANDER
ABOUT AIMLESSLY
Government U Unable To Obtain
Housing for Population. Half
of The Population Wiped
Out by Hunger and War
Triflis, Dec. 2.?Armenian forces
have been driven eastward by the
Turkish nationalsits until the region
they hold is entirely outside the tra- j
ditional boundaries of Armenia. As
a result, Armenia is reduced to a
little caucasus republic such as was i
_ created by the Germans and Turks,
during the war.
Turkish nationalists have occupied
Kars, Alexaadropol and Surmalou.
Hostilities betweene the Armeni
ans anH Turkish nationalists have
been suspended through interven
tion by the Bolshevik government at
Moscow, and hopes are entertained
that further bloodshed may be avert
ed.
Conditions, however, are fright
full in the district held by the Ar
menian forees. One hundred thou
sand refugees in the last stages of
destitution, are traveling through
tiie snow in all directions and the
Aremian government is unable to
provide housing or food, pending
the arrival of grain promised by the
n ? -u: frv-. T,.?L~inU

tionalists assert they will not crush
Armenia but will grant lenient
terms. These terms, however, must
be in conformity with Turkish as
pirations, it is declared.
The morale of Armenia's shatter
ed army is very low, while the Turks
by contrast, are well disciplined and
equipped. Reports that soviet Russia
is in disagreement with the Turkish
nationalists are accepted as true and
it is said Moscow views unfavorably
the Turkish advance into Armenia.
Observers regard Armenia as be
ing a state of utter ohaos. The coun
try, they say, has ceased to be inde
pesdent and half of its population
has been wiped out by war or star
ation. Workers for the American I
Committee for Relief in the Near
East are still at their posts in terri
tory occupied by the Turks, who
have thus far conducted themselves
in a respectful manner toward the <
Americans.
PUT OLD GLORY IN
HEARTS OF YOUTHS 1
Boston, Dec. 4.?"I would rather 1
have the American flag implanted in
the hearts of the children of Europe '
than flying over any eitadel of vic
tory," said Herbert Hoover today
in presenting to a gathering of busi
ness men and women here the obli
gation upon this country to supply
the needs of three and a half mil
lions of youthful sufferers by the
war in eastern and central Europe.
The occasion marked the formal
opening in New England of the na
tionwide campaign for $23,000,
000 which it is estimated will be re
quired to keep the children alive un
til the next harvest.
"These are children of friend and
enemy, of Jew and Gentile of Catho
lic and Protestant," said Mr. Hoo
ver. "No matter what conflict there
may be as to our views on our inter-1
national relationships, this mass of
children is no part of our conten
tions.
"The war collapsed among both
allies and enemy in the face of the
greatest famine in 200 years. The
fopd supply for all that 200,000,000
jreuyic coot vi uk viu xrcovciu nviiu
was largely exhausted by poor crops
and destruction."
A wedding march played by a,
Chiese orchestra with torn toms and
other weird instruments featured the
wedding of Miss Lois Baker, a grad
uate of Leland Stanford university,
who was married recently in Tsing-1
tau to the American representative \
of the Standard Oil company :n!
China.
CAPTURED IN TRUNK
Anderson, Dec. 2.?Furman Acker
the young negro boy, who broke
loose from the officers after having
been recaptured when he escaped
from the jail some weeks ago, was
again caught late Tuesday afternoon
at the home of his mother, near
Honea Path. Acker was found in a
trunk after the officers had made a
thorough search of the house and
premises. The younger brother of
Acker, a boy 14 years of age, was
arrested charged with aiding his
brother to escape. He is believed to
have furnished him with the hack
saw blades with which he sawed the
bars. i

from Bedfod, Va., where he will
speak at the Elks Home Sunday |

senators now in Washington that he
will visit the senate during his stay.
There are said to be 2,000,000 more
women than men in England.
The British railways employ 10,
000 women clerks.
