There was lively artillery activity at various points along the frost. Russia Forces Routed. “Eastern theater of war: During the night of Dec. 19-20, an advanced Russian division had occupied the village of Dekschi, southeast of Wid- sydey, near our front. Yesterday the Russians were driven out. South of Lake Wigonowikoji, and near Cos- cnichnowka, northwest of Czartorysik, enemy reconnoitering divisions were repulsed. “Balkan theater of war: The posi- tion generally is unchanged.” DESPITE TROUBLE ARMENIANS ELECT | ' Members of St. Mark’s Church Out- General Opponents and Chose Officers. Harry Kevorkian and his follow- ers in the Armenian congregation of St. Mark's Episcopal church, have figuratively speaking, slipped some- thing over on the “insurgents” who took exception to the methods of election at the meeting Sunday night, as a result of which the police had to interfere in order to prevent a riot. _After the police had cleared Commercial ‘hall Kevorkian and his followers hied themselves to another hall and counted the ballots cast at dhe riotous meeting. Kevorkian, in explaining the sit- uation today, stated that in order that there should be no argument over the membership, a meeting was held on November 14 to admit all new members. The membership was open from that date until December 17, during which time 139 were en- lon Bassett street. | STEPFATHER KILLED BY DANBURY BOY Youth Arraigned in Court on Charge of Murder and Case Is Con- tinued Until Friday. Danbury, Dec. 21.—Alexander Bochina, the seventeen year old boy who shot and killed his stepfather, John Bochina, at their home in West Danbury last night was arraigned in the city court today on a charge of murder and his case was continued until Friday The boy said last night that he shot his stepfather with a revolver which he had wrested from the older man, who had threatened him with it. Today he admitted that the shooting was done with a twenty- two calibre rifle belonging to him, which he picked up as he fled from the house when his stepfather at- tacked him during the supper hour last evening. The trouble that resulted in the homicide began when the boy found fault with the supper his mother had prepared. His stepfather who, it is alleged, had been drinking, chastised him and when the boy fled from the house the elder Bochina followed him. Young Bochina warned his stepfather to return to the house. 1In reply the man hurled a piece of ice at the boy. Then young BocHina fired twice. One shot penetrated the man’s lung and caused almost immediate death. Bochina married the boy’s mother when the former was two years old and the boy took the family name. The older Bochina was employed in a local hat factory, where the boy also worked. The family came here from Austria-Hungary nineteen years ago. Bochina owned his own home and was well to do. —_— STATE TRADE SCHOOL UNTIL NEXT AUGUST Local School Board Will Officials to Finish Year’s ‘Work. Ask State As a result of a conference late yesterday afternoon by the school board’s committee on school accom- modations with Superintendent S. H. Holmes and Principal L. P. Slade of the High school it was decided to ask the state board of education to con- duct the State Trade school until Au- gust 1 next vear, after it has been moved to the Vocational High school The shop which is located in the old Corbin Brothers plant off Stanley street will be vacated early next month or as soon as the Bassett street building is ready for oc- cupancy. Part of the machinery is rolled. At the meeting Sunday eve- “hing Manu Krikorian tried to inter- rupt the meeting, but the old church committee had sent for the arch- bishop to be present and oversee the voting. After the police came they went to another hall and the votes were counted, showing that the fol- lowing had been elected: President, Harry Kevorkian, eighty-five votes: members of committee, Asadoor Ya- hivobian, eighty-five votes; Arakel Ye- saiam, eighty-five votes; Peter Sem- onian, eighty-three votes; and Hach- adoor Bovagian, eighty-two votes. Thus, the ‘regulars” were victorious and the “insurgeants” were defeated. ADDITIONAL CAR being dismantled now and will be transferred to the new school. This machinery is owned by New Britain manufacturers who were interested in having the trade school opened some years ago.. They loaned this machin- ery to the state and will let the city have. it. The remainder belongs to the state and it was decided yester- day to take up with the state board the question of buying it. The committee feels that it will be for the best interests of the students in the state trade school to have them finish their work under the same teachers and curriculum being fol- lowed at present, rather than turn them over to a new stafl under dif- . | ferent conditions in the new building. } For that reason the state board of SERVICE ORDERED } |um.ll next August.

For example, we have 30,- 000,000 kilograms of cotton which Germany can have the moment she solves the transportation problem, not to speak of 10,000,000 kilograms of reserve supply in the shape of mat- tresses and other articles in Turkish homes. Plenty of Copper. “The same is true of coper. Of this we have at least 40,000,000 kilo- grams which Germany can have at any time.” Because of this abundance of neces- saries and of the progress of milit affairs to this time Dr. Nazim predicts eventual victory for Central Powers. Independence For Turkey. “Such a success will mean indepen- dence for Turkey for the first time,” he continued. He said there was less peace in Turkey than elsewhere, gave it as his opinion that the war would last a year or two more and continued: ‘“Turkey is enthusiastic for a number of reasons. TFirst, she had never fought previously under such favorable conditions. Second, the thought of eventual independence stimulates the troops tremendously. Third, the soldiers are spurred on by hatred of their enemies, hatred en- gendered by illegal acts. “The Turks regard the allies as bar- barians and when captured in a wounded condition frequently refuse food or drink from their captors, though when conditions are reversed the Turks give their prisoners freely of their food.” Uses Bitter Words. Dr. Nazim Bey spoke calmly ex- cept when the subject of the world's impression of Turkish-Armenian re- lations was brought up. Of this he talked in bitter words. America in particular, he said, had gained a false impression in two ways. First, in- vestigators of conditions had not been neutral or unbiased. Second, these investigators went to the wrong sources for their information—to Greeks, Jews and Armenians who are Turkish subjects and have grudges to air. “Every time a Turk does something praiseworthy in this world he is hailed as an Armenian,” he continued, “but every time he commits a crime or acts basely he is a Turk—or something else.” Admirer of America. Expressing himself as an ardent admirer of America and declaring Turkey needed the trade of the United States even more than of Germany, Dr. Nazim Bey nevertheless asserted that the delivery of ammunition by Americans to the allies had servedl greatly to estrange the two peoples. He thought it would be some time after the war before the feeling would die down. He said the breach had been widened by the “Injustice of the American press toward Turkey.” Thanks to Germany, Dr. Nazim Bey continued, Turkey had gradually beer: lifting herself from a sort of finan- cial slough of despond, so that for the past three months the government had been able to pay for all its pur- chases out of money loaned. He summed up the financial position of the Turkish Empire as follows: Export Trade Stopped. “One cannot say the situation is good, for our export trade has been stopped and consequently our income is reduced. But it is not serious.” PREPARING BALLOT FOR RAILWAYMEN 400,000 Employes of 458 Roads to be Asked for Approval of Sev- eral Demands. Chicago, Dec. 21.—Presidents of the four brotherhoods of railway train- men started work today preparing the ballot that is to be sent to the 400,000 employes of the 458 railroads in the United States asking their approval of these demands: An eight hour day, with same wage now paid for working ten hours.
