ADMIRAL KNIGHT'S VIEW. It is of course possible to look up- on the statements of Admiral Knight the house as coming from an expert and therefore to be taken with a grain of salt when it comes to providing a navy such as conditions at this time yet at the same time he is president of the navy war college and as such it must be admitted that he is in touch with the state of efficiency of the nayy and the needs to a degree which cannot be before the naval committes of demand of this country, disregarded. ‘When he declares that the navy is not ready to exert more than fifty per cent. of its strength in ships and guns, urges the immediate addition of 25,- 000 men and as the first step iff the building program this year the au- thorization of six battle cruisers and eight scouts all with a speed of 35 knots, he may be looked upon as an extremist, but it must be realized that he knows what he is talking about.

Coroner Mix of New Haven county,| According to Admiral ' as the result of his investigation of 3 wreck at Milford, holds Engineer Curtis of the train which ran into the | ‘express and who was killed in the | eollision, criminally responsible.

That there was a plain disregard for the signais cannot be questioned since the speed of the train was such that the flagman who had been sent to warn it was unable to get out of its ‘way and th: verdict must therefore be accepted as the logical one. Perhaps one of the most surprising things in connection with the whole affair is that Engineer Curtis up to the time of the wreck had been consid- ered one of the road's most careful _ engine drivers.

" That there may be recommendations following the other investigations " which will contribute to increased safety in the future, such as a great- er distance between trains, according to a point raised by Coroner Mix is _ probable, and certainly if such s nec- essary to overcome human faflure the importance of it cannot be overlooked.

And then there's Mamie Kelly, who always forgets something and goes back after it. She gets a note from her mother telling how it was they lost her paper or something or other and had to look for it an awful lot. She makes me tired. She got 100 in arithmetic and 97 in histry and she ain't stopped talking about it yef “What did you get?” “Oh, well, ~ Bobble said uneasily. That ain’t it. Even if T did get a high mark I wouln't tell. Anyhow,” he added sheepishly, “nobody’d believe me if I ald. But she needn't have gone and crowed over Nellie Foster, so she most cried. You see Nelllo Foster didn't get such awful high marks, though they weren't so bad. They were a lot higher than mine, but may- be that ain't saying much, but Nellie Foster's got to learn to be something to earn money on account of being so poor end she wants high marks. Teacher she told her she wes all right, so that made her feel some better. But Mamle Kelly she went on talking about her marks and went running home to tell her mother. Billy even had to laugh” “Does it taie-so much to make Billy Iaugh?” “Mamie Kelly ain’t much, only Billy sometimes thinks she's all right, spec- fally when he don't understand his arithmetic or forgets the presidents. Mamie Kelly sits in back of him and if he falls down on a question she'll whisper to him what it is. I had to laugh one day when teacher asked him about President Cleveland and Mamle Kelly told him to say he,was born in Cleveland, Towa. I guesd it's in Ohto, but anvhow teacher heard her _and made her get up and tell the room what she knew about Ohio and it's Deing settled and everything and she didn’t know a thing. Say, maybe, we didn’t have to laugh! Mamie Kelly was awful sore at Billy for a long time, but we didn’t see what for. He didn’t ask her to tell him anything.

He thinkss Susie Herrick’s just about all it, and there ain't another feller but what thinks she’s a regular baby. “I hate bables and I bet Susle Herrick ain't got a mite of sense. It was while we were telling Sam about Mamie Kelly that he sald a lot about how smart Susi Herrick is and I up and told him what 1 thought about her being silly.

Nellle Foster said, coming home from school, that I hadn’t ought to have said it at all, but she’s one of those kind that never even think a thing llke that and so don't ever say them.” “Don’t you think ehe was right?” “Well, maybe,” Bobbie said, gruds- ingly.! “But I told her when a thing’s said it's all done for and she sald no, it had to be made up. Gee, it just made me sort of sick to have to make up to Susie Herrick, so I asked her how and she said there was the movies. I said I'd give Susie Herrick a nickel and tell her to go, but she said it was to be a dime show and me take her. Gee, I never took a girl anywhere and I nearly had a fit!” “I don’t think it would hurt you a bit,” sala Bobbie's father. “Well, anyhow,” Bobble went on. “1 told her she could go with me last night and that mother made me go to the early show and only once a week anyhow. T told her to meet me out in front of the drug store on the corner of Aunt Mary’s street at ten minutes to 7 and she said she would. “Well, T went there at quarter to 7 and 1 walted and I waited till five mintes to 7 and then I waited till 7 and then I waited till five minutes after 7. It was something fierce wadt- ing there in all that cold, but I kept on till ten minutes after 7. “Then she came hurrying along, I suppose.” “Not on your life!” Bobbie sald in- dignantly. “When I saw the drug store clock that it was geting to be near quarter past 7, and me too sure of being late, I beat it. As it was I lost all of one reel.” —Chicago News. American Déctor Burned To Death. Dr. Jacob Sargls, an American Methodist medical missionary, who has arrived in Petrograd after narrowly escaping death at the hands of the Turks and Kurds in Urumiah, Per- slan Armenia, asserts that amons the outrages committed against the Chris- tlan refugees was the burning to death of an American doctor named Simon His identity was not further establish- told by Dr. Sargis, was as follows: “Dr. Shimmun was in the village of Supurghan when the Turks attacked that place. He was among those who took refuge on a mountain near the lakes. He was captured and told that since he had been a good doctor and had helped the wounded, they would not kill him but that he must accept the Mohammedan faith. He refused, as almost all Christians did. They oured oil on him, and, before aply- Ing the torch, they gave him another chance to forsake his religion. Again he refused, and they set his clothes afire. 'While running in agony from the flames, the Turks shot him several times. After he fell to_the ground un- conscious they hacked his head off. Mr. Allen, an American missionary, who went from village to village bury- ing the victims of this butchery, found the body of Shimmun half eaten by dogs. “The Catholic mission there took 150 Christians of all sects and kept them in a small room and tried to save them, but at least forty-nine of them, among them one Bisho Dinka of the Episcopal mission, were bound togeth- er one might, taken to Gagin Moun- tain and there shot down.” Dr. Sargis was born in Persia but ‘went to America in 1893, and was edu- cated there by assistance of Dr. W. F. Oldham, former Bishop of India. He is a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan and Ohio Medical University and was for a time resident physician of the Pro- testant Hospital at Columbus, O. Dr. Sargis was doing relief work in Urumiah on January 1 last year when the Russian army retired from that city, followed by 14,000 refugees from Urumiah and a hundred surrounding villages. The hardships and suffer- ings endured by those refugees were described in Assciated Press dispatch- es. There were still left in Urumiah and the villages 45,000 persons, chiefly Armenian refugees when the Turks and Kurds entered. The latter at once began the work of extermination of thes Christian population. In one town alone, Gulfarchin, in one night, according to Dr. Sargis, seventy-nine men and boys were tied hand to hand, taken to a hill outside the village and shot. Their wives and daughters were distributed among the Turks, Kurds and Persian Mohammedans. Dr. Sarsis' story continues: On the second day after the Turk- ish officers came they had a good many wounded and sick. As soon as they heard that I was an able physi- clan, they tok me, gave me a body- guard and put me in charge of Uru- miah hospital. That was how I came to learn moet of their secrets; I helped their wounded and sick. One day there were sixty men brought from Bashkal, all well-to-do_citizens, some of them noted men of that place. They were used as beasts of burden, forced to carry rolls of barbed wire into Urumiah. The next day they were all taken to the Castle of Ismayil and every one was shot or hacked to death. “About that time Nuri, the governor of Gavr, told me that he had received word from the Turkish commander, to kil all the Armenian soldiers in the ‘Turkish army. He said that for my ®sake he would not do it, but that somebody else would. Twenty-nine were killed about fifteen miles from Urumiah at Karmad. We had eight of them in the city, fine fellows, some of them educated in Beirut. ' They had been'disarmed, and one night they took them to the suburbs and shot them. But one of them, named Aslam, escaped. He dropped with the others but was not hit. After the butchers left he made his way to the Presby- terian mission college. I was notified and asked to take care of him. I kept him until the Russian army came. He joined and is now fighting with them. “In the First Turkish Corps, com- manded by Khalil Bey, there were about 400 Armenians. 'One of them, Gulhankyan, a graduate of Beirut, told me that they were all doomed to be Dutchered. When they appointed ‘me head physician of the he 1 they Stories of the War gave me plenty of helpers, including seven Christian nurses, six Arabs and one Greek. Gulbankyan told me that if I did not help them they would be killed. An Arab doctor, Bahadin BEf- fendl, was appointed to work under my direction. My Greek nurse warn- ed me that Bahadin had already killed more than fifty Armenian Christians and cautioned me to watch him. One night about 10 o'clock Bahadin sent for me, saying that he was sick. For- tunately for me the Greek and two Armenian nurses went with me. When 1 reached the hospital, 1 found that Bahadin was not sick at all. _He sald to me: “What business have you to disturb me at this time of the night. Your coming shows that you have some design upon my life”” I told hjm that it was a mistake, that I had been told he was sick, and went away. At the bottom of the stairs I was overtaken by an officer who said that the doctor was not done with me. 1 protested but was ordered to go back. So I put my trust in the Lord and ‘went. “The doctor greeted me with the questio ‘Who gave you permission leave the room? and continued: ‘You are a prisoner and you will never see the light of tomorrow’s sun.. I told him that I was an American cit- izen and that 1 was helping the wounded for the sake of humanity. He cut me off my saying: ‘This is war- time. The top of your hat is green. That means that you are a descendant of the prophet and it will give me pleasure to destroy your life tonight. 1 must think how I shall kill you. 1 could throw you out of the window, but that would be too quick. I could shoot you, but that also is to good for you. I"shall have to use my sword. You sit down there in that corner and these Turkish nurses will sing your tuneral before I begin to cut you up.’ “The Turks began to sing a droon- ing chant and I had no choice but to sit and listen. My bodyguard, the Greek nurse Theodore and two Ar- menian soldiers, the latter my ser- vants, stood outside the door and when' they heard the chanting they thought it was all over with me. The Greek, who was a shrewd fellow, told my bodyguard to enter and if he saw me, to say that the patients wanted to see the doctor. All of a sudden I saw him enter with a lantern. He galut- ed the Effendi and said “The patients want the doctor’. I didn't give Ba- hadin a chance to say a word. I was up and out and down in the street in about two seconds. When I got to the outpost they yelled from the window to stop me but they were to late. My bodyguard and the Armenlans and the Greek followed close behind me and I got away. I reached home at mid- night. My wife and children thought I was already dead.” Dr. Sargis turned the tables on the Arab doctor by alleging that he was insane and having him put under guard and on a milk diet, notwith- standing he was a doctor in Khalil Bey’'s army. “Soon after the Russians lgft Uru- miah a German machinist, Neuman, who came in with the Turks announc. ed himself as German consul. By his orders a Christian by the name of Mushi was hanged. Neuman had promised me to release Mushi, but overnight he sold him to the Turks for $20. An ‘Englishman named Johnathan George, well known in Ta- briz, a relative of my wife, was whip- ped’ on Neuman's orders. In the vil- lage of Garajaln a young Christian with a wife and two children was kill- ed by a Mohammedan. The murderer took the wife and children, promis- ing to protect them. But while cross- ing a bridge he threw the children in- to the river and kept the woman in his House until the Russians came and lberated her. At Ardasha seventy- five women and girls went into the sea to escape the Turks. They refused to trust promises of safety if they came_ out and all were shot as they stod in the water. Eighty-five hun- dred died in the vicinity of Urumiah in five months, 1,600 were killed and the rest died of cold and hunger. “During the days of the Turkish oc- cupation it was no unusual sight to sett an old woman carrying the body of her daughter or son to & place of burlal, digging the grave herself or with the ald of other wom He Might Blow Up.

Willamette River drains a troveh- shaped area extending north and south between the Coast and Cascade ranges in Oregon, about 140 miles long and about 85 miles wide. The river is nav- | igable for ocean-going vessels from its mouth to Portland, and for ordinary river steamboats from Portland to Corvallis, except during a few months of ea”h year. Boats pass around th 1|falls of Willamette River at Oregon City by a series of five locks, which are now in private ownership. The Willamette River is not subject to great floods but ls characterized by & large low-water flow. The effect of Teservoirs on this river would there- fore be less marked than on more flashy streams, but thelr operation would greatly enhance the value of the °|river for irrigation, power, and navie &ation. ‘White River is one of the larger tri- butaries of the Deschutes and rises on the southern slopes of Mount Hood.
