For instance, | the Judge is given ‘discretion’ in each of the cases that come before him. Now, a Judge, being human, may be tempted to assume that the word ‘discretion’ has a limited meaning, and who is to decide whether this is exercised in an arbitrary mannef or not? Then again, the Judge is au- thorized to ‘make such other order as he may deem just.’ ‘This also gives @ wide latitude. In such a case It Is jalways important to look at the pro- visions of the law through the eyes of those who prepared it This statute is what lawyers call a. remedial statute and should be construed b- erally. “When Secretary Baker appeared before the Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate and said: ‘If our army over there ts made up of men who#e wives are writing to them that the landlord js threatening to put them out into the street’—— “Senator Overman interrupted him to say: ‘I do not think any court tn the United States would allow a man to be taken advantage of under such circumstances.’ “With regard to the proposition of rent, the following appears: “The pur- pose of this section is to assure de- pendents of persons of small means that they will have time in which to work out their diMculties, * * * No harsh burden is cast upon a land. lord who is required to wait three months before regaining possession of his property and running the risk of losing that much rent.’ And again, in the appendix to the minutes of tho Judiciary Committee: ‘Suppose his (the soldier's) family fails to pay rent while he is away, owing to some mis- fortune; the landlord puts them ou eit dental plate can be made rr and tight in just a jiffy single. application of RNET'S POWDER e¢ For Fal It ts ike magic, shelly rr andjhéals sore gums.

The bill empowers the court to prevent this.’ “In the face of these declar- ations of the intent and purpose of this bill,” Judge Armstrong comtinued, “we find greedy landlords secking to take advantage of the absence of our boys at the front and constantly hal- ing their dependents to court for non- payment of rent.” “How bay the courts of New York I generally construed the law?” asked. “So far as my observations fo, Judge Armstrong answered, “t! courts are wfiling to listen and to afford relief to the extent of a stay generally of about a month, In some cases the landlord persists in drag- ging these dependents to court month after month to expose their inability to meet the rent.” “How does the so-called ‘hold-over’ proceeding work out?” I asked. “Under the present State law,” the Judge explained, “a landlord gives five days notice to a tenant to move by noon of the first day of the fol- lowing month, If the tenant fails to do so, the court, on application of the landlord, is supposed to issuc what is called @ precept, ordering the tenant to get out on two hours’ no- tice. “It seems to me,” Judge Armstrong concludes, “that the Judges of our Municipal Court shoutd get togethcr and agree upon @n Interpretation of the law, so that beth landlords and tenants may know where they stand, regardless of what Judge they are tw come before. ARMENIANS CALLED ON TO RALLY FOR FREEDOM Head of Military Mission to Allied Countries Appeals for Army of 100,000 Men. LONDON, Dec. 14.—Gen. Toreom, head of the American Military Mission, which i# soon to visit Allied countries, has issued an apepal to his countrymen, asking thelr suport of the work now going on in Aremnia. It tells how, on Jan, BL last, the independence of Ar- menia, including Greater Armenia, Lesser Armenia and Cilician Armenia, was prochimed at Ezerum. “We placed these countries under the protection of four Allied powers—Great Britain, the United States, France and Italy,” says the appeal. “Desertion by the ussians, betrayed by the Georgians and attacked on all sides by the Turco- German forces, Kurds, Tartars twenty other races intent on our termination, we have fought with a handful of gallant soldiers for the inde- pendence of our country.” Gen, Torcum tells how traitors at- tempted to overthrow the Armenians’ ©Qorts, and continues: “I bring to you the American flag My mission is to gather round this flag, which has become the emblem of our suffering, our faith and our burning Uhirst for Hberty, an American army of 100,000 men.

It is more of & distinction to have climbed from buck private to Major in nineteen months. It is plus distinction to have achieved these honors at an age approaching three-score. Will “Big Percy” get @ hand from his fellow townsmen? One may reasonably anticipate that such will be the case, Twenty years ago Major Nagle, then an officer in the old 69th, went with his regiment to the Spanish- American War, Shortly before the mobilization of the Reguiar Army and the National Guard on the Mexican border in 1916 he was a candidate for Colonel of the 69th, and was beaten by only one vote. At the outbreak of the war between the United States and Germany he was Lieutenant Col- onel in the Quartermasters’ Corps of the National Guard, and @ very eM™- clent officer too. The Quartermaster’s Corps held out no allurements to @ natural soldier who had been balked in his desire to fight Spaniards and Mexicans, He resigned his position as Lieutenant Colonel and dropped out of sight. Just how he broke into the 1024 Am- munition Train as a private is known only to him and the recruiting officer. Probably the reason was that he didn't look his age, and perhaps he didn’t mention his age.

He was Cap- tain of a company In the ammunition supply service when the great drive was launched by the combined Brit- ish and American forces in Flanders. In selecting the ammunition supply was unerring in his judgment as to where he could get action. There is no more arduous, dangerous or excit- ing day and night duty than that of keeping the batterles and the men at the front supplied with munitions. In the territory over which the 27th Division fought through the Hinden- burg line the German artillerists had every road registered and every like- ly location for an ammunition dump located and mapped. Transportation of ammunition under these circum- stances meant existence under con- Unual shell fire, But Major Nagle, who is almost as big as the Statue of Liberty came through the war without a scratch, He was ntade| { CHARITY.
