Stating that the war is won for world democracy, and that the ideal o.f autocracy is laid in it* ashes, the mes* vane calls the people of the state to service id the following language : "Unless we as a peonle are unable to "onsecrate our best efforts, our highest ideals, oiir unselfish endeavors and our moral, spiritual and material forces to the ways and the purpose of peace as we have! dedecated these to the ways of the wlnniug of the war. we shall fail ;!o hold and retain much of that for which the war has been fought ; -but the splendid accomplishments of the people of Hoirth Carolina in their unstinted and wholehearted support of the war leads *ne to believe, as I have said, that they have grasped the vision of the higher citizenship and a clearer understanding of its obligations." Among the specific recommendations outlined and suggested in the message are: \ - ? f-r ? ? A broadening of the educational sys tem, with liberal appropriations for the maintenance of schools and institutions of higher learning. An improved system of highways. * Cohtinued liberal care of the unfor tunate insane of the state.

MA K ICS A CORRECTION Says Correspondents Have Minimised Horrors Upon Armenians. To the Editor of The Oamden Chronicle '? . In your tissue of January 10th -appears a statement quoted from The Charlotte Observer, which I beg' leave to correct, vis: "That the Turks could h<(v<? delib erately put 80,000 out of 100,000 Ar menian refugees to death is perhaps an exaggeration of a sensational brain . . . These 'atrocity' writers sometimes go beyond the bbunds of reason in the shso ing up of horrors, they would etc.* Permit me to state thta in "Ambassa dor Morgcnthau'a story" recently oub Mshed is found that these 'atrocity4 writers have minimised the destruction .if life among the Armenians. < In Chapter 24. with the cantteo- VThe Murder of a Nation" are detailed varloui incidents obtained from escapcd eye wit- , ?lenses and "verified by reports of Ameri can missionaries and consuls which s're now in file in the tSate Department at Washington." One of these is as fol lows: Page 321 "Out of the combined eonvo.v (of deported Armenians) of 18,000 souls, just 150 women and child ren reached their destination" "I am confident; that^TtrF~WhoTe history of The human race contains no such horrible' episodes as this. The gceat massacres and persecutions of the past seem sl ?nowt inRignifieant when compared to the sufferings of the Armenian race in 1015, in which at least 600,000 people were iestroved and perhaps as many as 1,000,000."
