ARMENIAN MASSACRE HORRORS.
? Former Ambassador to Turkey
Paints Graphic Picture.
On million Armenians, torn from
their homes without warning and
driven with bayonets into the desert
to die of thirst and starvation, is the
picture Ambassador Morgenthau
' ^ draws in his story in the November
World's Work. Massacres, as we
have been accustomed to think of
them, accompanied this wholesale
eviction, in all their customary horror,'
but they were incidental to the
.... Turkish government's larger scheme
of the mass murder of an entire
race. The following extract from
Mr. Morgenthau's article gives some
of the details of this great holof
*v
caust in history:
"The gendarmes would appear be'fore
an Armenian house and order
all the inmates to follow them. They
} would take women engaged in their
- domestic tasks without giving them
a chance to change their clothes.
Even women who had just given
< birth to children would be forced to
* leave their beds and join in the pahic-stricken
throng, their sleeping babies
in their arms. To their frantic
questions, "Where are we going?"
k; the gendarmes would vouchsafe only
one reply, "To the interior." x
V./ ' < ' ? *
Roads Thronged With Exiles.
' *
. "For the better part of six months,
from April to October, 1916, practir
cally all the highways in Asia Minor
were crowded with these unearthly
bands of exiles, ^hey could'be seen
-. ?; winding in and out of every valley
L < and climbing up the sides of nearly
every mountain?moving on and on,
they scarcely knew whither, except
that every road led to death. Village
y* after village and town after town
was evacuated of its Armenian population,
under the distressing circumstances
already detailed. In these
y : six months, as far as can be ascer'
tained, about 1,200,0A0 people start?1
ed on this journey a Syrian desl
r art.
" 'Pray for us,' they would say, as
- " ' < 1 il,. V. ? ^
iney leix mmr nouies?iue uuuit? m
r\ which their ancestors had lived for
? 2,100 years. 'We shall not see you
. In this world again, but 'Some time
we shall meet. Pray for us.
"When they had traveled for a
few hours from their starting place
I; the Kurds would sweep down from
their mountain homes. Rushing up
to the young girls, they would lift up
% . . ..their veils and carry the pretty ones
off to the hills,
ft v "Local vagabonds were permitted
H:f to prey upon the Armenian girls.
.'r' "For five days one band which
originally contained 18,000 refugees
V did not have a morsel of bread or a
drop of water, 'Hundreds fell dead
E?- In the way,' the report reads, 'their
^tongues were turned to charcoal, and
when, at the end of five days they
reached a fountain, the whole convoy
naturally rushed toward it. But
here the policeman barred the way
and forbade them to take a single
drop of water. Their purpose
was to sell it at from one to three
%
liras a cup, and sometimes they ac1
tually withheld the water after getting
the money.'
i
Drank From Polluted Wells.
( - "At another Dlace. where there were
* wells some women threw themselves
Into them as there was no rope or
pail to draw up the water. These
women were drowned, and, in spite
^ of that, the rest of the people drank
from that well, the dead bodies still
remaining there and polluting the
water. Sometimes, when the wells
were shallow and the women could
go down into them and come out
again, the other people would rush
* to lick or suck their wet, dirty
clothes in the effort to quench their
thirst.
'On the seventieth day a few creatures
reached Aleppo. Out of the
combined convoy of 18,000 souls
just 150 women and children reached
their destination.'"

The Selfish Farmer Again.
A senator apropos of the farmer's
t attempt to raise the price of wheat,
said the other day: ,
"The farmers are actuated by sel.
fish motives in this business. It's
like the story of the duel:
"Two gentlemen 'with their seconds
retired to a farmer's meadow
to fight a duel. The various prelimw
inaries were arranged, and the duel
? was just about to begin when the
gaunt figure of the farmer was seen
racing across the grass toward the
scene of the conflict.
v "The farmer seemed in great distress
of mind. 'A humane chap,'
the principals and seconds thought;
he wants to prevent bloodshed, and
. they welcomed him kindly.
" 'Excuse me, gents*,' the farmer
said, gulping with emotion, 'but is
this going to be a sword or a pistol
duel?'
" 'Sword duel,' said the second.
^ . 'Why?'
. . " 'Well, you see,' said the farmer
'if it was a pistol duel I'd want to
take my cows in first.' "?Washingtori*

THOSE TERRIBLE TANKS.
They Have Played a Great Part in
the Winning of the War.
Thirty-six tanks?one battalion?
save at least a thousand casualties
every day they are in action. The
British war expert who made this
statement while discussing the present
allied offensive with an Associatj
ed Press correspondent in London,
continued:
"We have used in the fighting only
a fraction of the men the enemy
has been accustomed to employ for
similar offensives, and we have made
up the difference largely with tanks.
Since the ultimate victory will fall
to the side with the biggest reserves,
the more tanks we have the
more assured our victory. Tank
makers are as much in this fight as
their brothers in France.
"Similarly, the more numerous
the tanks, the less risk of their being
knocked out. A German antitank
gunner can deal with one or
two perhaps, but he if overwhelmed
with dozens.
"It has been commonly thought
that a direct hit by a shell means
destruction. That is not always the
case. A fortnight ago* a tank received
seven direct hits from a German
'seventy-seven' gun, but the tank finished
its job and trundled back to
its lines.
"Another in the Cambrai region
went over a rise directly in front of
a German howitzer. The howitzer
fired from fifty yards away and a
shell tore off part of the tank's side.
But the tank went right on, driving
right over the howitzer and putting
it out of action."
Recently Major General Seely,
deputy minister of munitions, said:
"I speak the literal truth when I say
that I and hundreds of those it has
been my privilege to lead would be
dead now but for the 'tanks. They
probably preserved Amiens. They
certainly saved us."

Testing Uncle's Faith.
"We'd have more prayers answered,"
said Bishop Hoss, of Mukogee,
ii we naa more iann.
"Too many of us are like Willie.
Willie on a visit to his uncle's in the
country, admired a fine colt.
" 'Uncle, give mem that colt, will
you?' he asked.
" 'Why, no, Willie,' said his uncle.
'That's a very valuable colt
and I cpuldn't afford to give him to
you. Do you want a colt so very
badly?.'
" 'I'd rather have a colt than anything
else in the world,' said Willie.
\ m
" 'Then,' said his uncle, 'I'll tell
you what you ought to do. Since
you want a colt that much you
ought to pray for one: Whenever I
want a thing I always pray for it and
then it is sure to come tc me.'
" 'Is that so, uncle?' said Willie
eargerly. 'Won't you please give
me* this colt and then pray for one
for yourself?' "?Pittsburg Chronicle
