To Exterpate Christianity. “Soon after war broke .out between Turkey and the allies,” continues the viscount, ‘“the Turkish government formed, and since has been carrying out with rentless cruelty, a plan for - R Chrxsuan‘a or the Armenian race. “Ac- counts from different sources agree that over the whole of eastern and northern Asia Minor and Armenia the Christian population is being deliber- ately exterminated, the men of mili- tary age being killed and the younger women seized for Turkish harems, compelled to become Mohammedans and kept with children in virtual slav- ery. The rest of the inhabitants, old women, men and children, have been driven under convoy of Turkish sol- diers into unhealthy parts of Asia Niinor, some to the deserts between Syria and the Euphrates. Many die or are murdered en route, and all per- ish sooner or later. “In Trebizond City, where the Ar- menians number over 10,000, orders came from Constantinople to seize all Armenians. Troops hunted them, AMERICA’S GREATEST CIGARETTE Makersof the %D’gm‘mm&w drove them to the shore, took them to sea, threw them overboard and drowned them all, men, women and children. This was seen and de- scribed by the Itlaian consul. Many Victims Claimed. “Some in the country escaped by professing to accept Islam, and a quarter of a million escaped over the Russian frontier, but perhaps half a million were slaughtered or deported, and those deported are fast dying from ill treatment, disease or starvation. The roads and the hillsides are strewn with corpses of innocent peasants. ‘“We can all try to send aid to the miserable refugees now in Russian territory; but what man can stop the massacres? Not the allied powers at war with Turkey. Only one power can take action for that purpose. It is Germany. Would not the expres- sion of American public opinion, voicing the conscience of neutral na- tions, lead Germany to check the Turkish govexnment?”’ Mission Work Impracticable. Boston, Sept. 21.—Continuance of missionary work in eastern Turkey where Armenian massacres have oc- curred is regarded as impracticable at this time, according to a cablegram received yesterday by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The dispatch announced the arrival at Stockholm, Sweden, of the party of American missionaries who fled from Van and were after- wards reported at Tiflis. It said that they were due to reach New York on the steamship Hellig Olav, October 5, and added that Dr. George C. Ray- nolds, president of Van college, and another missionary, Mr. White, who were on their way to Van from this country, were coming back with the refugee party. The return of Dr. Raynolds, a vet- eran in the missionary service, is con- sidered at the American Board head- quarters as indicating that the situa- tion in the Van district is even worse than had been reported. Dr. Ray- nolds met the Van party at Tlflls. CHURCH FAIR SUCCESSFU'D Large Crowd On Hand At First Night Of St. Andrew’s Fair. An audience that packed Lithuan- jan hall on Park street greeted the opening of the seven nights fair of St. Andrew’s Lithuanian church last evening. To Rev. E. V. Grikas and the committee in charge, the opening night’s attendance was gratifying and predicts a successful venture for the parish, Mayor George A. Quigley opened the fair with a well delivered ad- dress which was enthusiastically re- ceived, and at its completion His Hongr was greeted with a round of applause. Others who spoke were Postmaster W. F. Delaney, who spoke on “Citizenship.” Prominent men in all walks of life were on hand to assist in the success of the fair, which is the first one ever undertaken by the church, and which was arranged by the energetic pastor assisted by a capable committee. The fair will be continued each eve- ning until next Monday and there will be a change of program each evening. PRESENTS FOR TRAFFIC “COPS.” B. C. Porter Sons Give Policemen Standards To Keep Feet Warm B. C. Porter Sons today presented each member of the police depart- ment traffic squad with a substantial standard to keep their feet warm. The foregoing stateiment is not to he con- strued that the local “cops” are in danger of getting ‘‘cold feet,” but simply to keep their pedal extremities protected from the elements as they stand at their posts at the intersect- ing streets. . The local furniture store had made four wooden platforms painted and covered with heavy linoleum on which the policemen will stand while direct- ing traffic. This will keep them from standing in the wet and slush I this winter.

New Ycrk, Sept. 21.—Expression of the gratitude of the whole Belgian nation to the people of America for their intervention, at a time when fa- mine threatened the little kingdom, was fittingly made at a recent meet- | ing of the Mun'cipal Council of Ant- werp, in a speech delivered by the burgomaster-president, whose name, unfortunately, did not appear in the translation received at the offices of the Commission tor Relief in Belgium, 71 Broadway, New York- In his speech, which was received with great enthusiasm by the entire council, tho burgomaster said in part: “The word ‘sratitude’ has seldom been a more sincere expression for a true, profound and intense collective feeling, because 21l of us know how many titles the American Republic has to our thankfulness.

SWAMP- board | OKUMA’S DECISION DIVIDES OPINION Some Do Not Like to See Him Re- main in Japanese Cabinet (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Tokio, August 20.—Opinion is divided in Japan as to the wisdom of Premier Count Okuma’'s move in cancelling his resignation and re- maining in power with a reconstruct- ed Cabinet. Those who favor the Count claim it was necessary in view of the fact that Japan is at war with Germany and Austria. A change of Premier was undesirable during the war, Also, it was undesirable be- fore the great accession ceremonies which will be held in November. Others believe the Count’s move a tlow to constitutional government, as it showed interference from the genro and intervention from the Em- peror himself. Doubts are expres- sed as to the capacity of the new ministry to live long, especially ag it is without the sustaining force of- fered by the presence of Baron Kato as foreign minister, who was regard- ed as the real head of the former cab- inet. President Shimada of the House of Representatives congratulates the state and the people on the reorgani- zation of the Okuma government, es- pecially in view of the coronation festivities. The personnel of the re- | constructed ministry, he thinks, is dli that can be desired under exist- ing conditions. Ichiki Unprejudiced. Dr. K. Iehiki, who has been trans- ferred from the portfolio of educa- tion to that of home affairs, was a graduate of the college of law in the Imperal Tokio University, and is an authority on domestic administration. He has no connection whatever with any political party, and this fact, [ speaker Shimada argues, will enable out any party prejudice. Vice Admiral Kato, the new minis- ter of the navy, has held the office of vice minister of the navy for many vears, and was chief of staff to Ad- miral Togo during the Russo-Japan- ese war. Dr. S. Takata, the new minister of education held the post of president of Waseda University for many years. ¢ Mr. K. Minoura, who became min- jster of communications, once held the office of vice-minister of com- munications and is proprietor and chief editor of the Hochi, which is the organ of the present government, He is & man of many estimable quali- ties, and is respected even by his poli- tical foes.

The premier is regarded as having violated constitu- tional usuage in tendering his resig- nation only to withdraw it. Resigna- tions have been ordinarily accepted, but in the present instance it was an- nounced that the Emperor himself had intervened and voiced his wish that the premier remain, This is a most unusual step in Japanese national life, Heretofore the throne has left political matters to the genro, the idea being that the political life of the empire was not to be intrenched upon the ruler. It is a very delicate point; but imperial preference for any one cabinet has almost always been scrupulously avoided. It was the exception made to this usages at the time of the third Kat- sura Cabinet that caused the riot which finally resulted in opposition raised at that time was based upon the necessity of keeping the throne from being involved in political dis- putes. The imperial message given to Marquis Saionji to use his influence to make the Seiyukai members sup- port the government raised a storm of indignation which culminated in a riot, causing loss of life and property. The Katsura cabinet was obliged to resign and the Yamanoto ministry came into power. The semi-official statements to the effect that the throne did not wish to accept the resignation of the Okuma government is critized not only by opposing politicians but also by some who belong to no party. For this departure from established usage both the government and the elder statesmen are held responsible There is already some oppostion among the Privy Councillors in this respect. The matter will no doubt constitute a anestion in the House of Peers in the winter session of the Diet, if the new- ly constructed cabinet be still in of- fice. The conclusion of these critics g that the Okuma cabinet is actual- 1y sitting on a volcano, Okuma Explains, Count Okuma has lost Baron Kato and Vice Admiral Yashiro from the foreign naval portfolios, but com- mends the choice of Baron Ishii, ambassador to Paris, as foreign min- { ister, Okuma “Grand Old Man.” With one group Count Okuma is regarded as the “Grand Old Man" of the present Japanese era. Without Lim - the political situation would have become hopelessly complicated with incessant changes that would Okuma has no fears as to his position. When he had built his new cabinet he gathered the Japanese newspaper men about him and told them that there were two reasons why he changed his mind and re- mained in office with a reconstructed ministry. He said: “One is the political circumstances both internal and external, which do not permit of ministerial change at this moment and the other iz the Count gracious order of his continue my service.
