Acting as medlator and aceepting & mandate are, however, decidedly different things. Where na- tions might be willing to join hands in an endeavor to compose differences it i8 not so certain that they would be willing to do likewise when it came to directing the affairs of Armenia because of the decidedly differemt problem that wouid be invelved With this commission, it it proves to be a eommission of (hree, having the backing of the mations in the league it ishould be In a position to exert much in- fizence, even though at the present time there has been no agreement on the part of those concerned to accept mediatiom, although in the case of Armenfa that can be taken for granted. But Armenla s beeet with other troubles besides those furnished by the Turks for there is the bolshevik menace which cannot be dis. counted, and such apparent sympathy as the soviet government may be show- ing to Armenia just now as against the Turks needs to be taken with a ltberal amount of salt. As long as Armenia ean- not proteet itselt and has no help to call upon It is bound to be pestered frem all sides and it is not only the temporary but the permanent proteetion of the Ar- menians that nust be eventually dealt with. Possibly the resuits of mediation will help te the way. ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY | T RS ORIGIN OF THE WORD “YANKEE. There is still consjderable controversy 2510 the origin of the name “Yathes” a8 applied especially to New Englanders. Many explanations for the term has keen sufficiently conclusive to base an abeolute opinion. There seems to be very good authority for the claim that the word Yankee was derived from the manner in which the In- dians endeavered to pronounce the word English, which they reniered Yenghees, ‘whenes the word “Yonkee" The statement in Irving's “Enicker- backer's History of New York,” congern- ing the tribe of Yankees, is & mere joke, and to this suggestion the New York Gazetieer agded that “the Yankees were s0 indomitable that the Puritans of New England, after gubduing them, adopted their name, according to an Indian cus- tom which gave the name of the con- quercd to the conquerors.” The statement trat there was a tribe of Indians known as “Yankees” is not to be relied upon, as no history of New England makes any mention of that re- doubtable tribe, nor can thee be any au- thority for the belief that the custom spoken of by the Gasetteer aver existed among the aborigines of Ameriea. An effort has been made to attribute the name of the ropular Revolutionary gong, ‘Yankee Doodle,” the ofigin of whigh, an attempt has been made, to trage to the words ‘“Yenghl Dcunia” which Is said to have been very good Persian for Ameriea. 1t is hardiy likely that such an insular and stationary peo- le as the Persians should ever have eard of America to the extent that they would coin a word especially to express the name of the covntry, The word “Yankee" undoubtedly iad the Yenghees origin referred to above, but it does not seem to have heen very common until the time of the Revolu- tionary war. So far as is known, the word is contaned in no writings previous to that time, and i letters in which the word oceurs written i 1775, it is referred to in a manner in which the writer con- sidered it semething new, and intendec to EDITORIAL NOTES., The abelition ef Russian money will mean a brisk competition among the|pe contemptuow ptuously 1sed as it was by their dealers in waste paper. then enemies, the British solcjers. = CH SRl Noah Webster in his dietionary gives The man on the corner says: You|the Yankees origin of the word upon the author.ty of Heckewelder, and that fact may aceount for its being Jooked upen in New England as something new.

Several of the British regiments who were transterred to Boston after the be- ginning of the troubles had heen station. d in the middle eolonies, and had con id- erable experlence in Indian warfare, and may have thus acquired 2 knowlelge of the word. The 18th, or Royal Irish, for instance, had been enguged in mearly ail the battles which had taken plaes in the colonizs during two French wars and had aequi much familiarity American affairs.

More than a dozen kinds of excellent clay are found in the neighborhood of the luke. “Two very @escriptive words are used by the Chinese in referring to the ka,” or porcelain bone, and ‘e'hi ro. or poree; in flesh. The former gives strength and brittleness to a vase or bowl, while the latter adds resilieney and tough- ness. Unless these clays are mixed in the right proportions, the vessels will either sag or crack when placed in the furnace. “Pechnically, the ‘bone’ alay is kao- lin, or China clay. It is an infusible substance derived from decomposed feldspar or granite. The ‘flesh” clay is a white, fusible material formed from a mixture of feldspar and quartz. “All of these clays are hauled to Ching-teh-chen in the form of soft white bricks by small, flat-bottomed boats. Thousands of Chinese boatmen are engaged in this work. - “After the clays are thoroughly cleansed, sifted, and refined they .are kneaded together in varying propor- tions, usuaily by a barefooted boy, un- til they are ready for the potter. The wet lump of clay is then placed on the knob of the potter's wheel. “The potter's wheel, which was in- vented by the Chinese, is a huge cir- eular machine, abeut four feet in di- ameter, made of heavy timbers to lend iar axis in a slight depression, or pit, inte which water and debris rapid! arain. “Phe potter is perched above the wheel, with one foot on either side, in order to allow sufficient space for the movement of his hands.

After years of practi he can esti- mate to within a hair's breadth the proper size, “The piece i then removed and placed on a long tray in front of the potter, where it awaits the next arti- san.
