The Minister of War, as I have already Indicated, was, a dif ferent type of man from Talaat. He concealed his real feelings much more successfully: he was usually suave, cold-blooded and scrupulously polite. And at rtrst he was by no means so callous a's Talaat in discussing the Ar menians. He dismissed the early stories as wild exaggerations, declared that the troubles at Van were merely ordinary Warfare and attempted to quiet my fears that the wholesale an nihilation of the Armenians had been decided on. Yet all the time that Enver was at tempting to deceive me he was making open admissions to other people a fact of which I was aware. In particular he made no attempt to conceal the real situation from Dr. Lepsius, a repre sentattva of German missionary inter ests. Dr. Lepslus was a high-minded Christian gentleman. He had been all through the Armenian massacres of 18S5 and he had raised considerable sums of money to build orphanages for Armenian children who had lost their parents at that time. He came again in 1915 to investigate the Armenian sit uation in behalf of German missionary Interests. He asked for the privilege of inspecting the reports of American Consuls and I granted it. Turks' Policy Is Clear. These documents, supplemented by other Information which Dr. .Lepsius obtained, largely from German mission aries in the Interior, left no aouoi in his mind as to the policy of the Turks. His feelings, were - aroused chiefly against his own government. He ex pressed to me the humiliation wnicn ne felt, as a German, that the -Turks should deliberately set about to exter minate their Christian subjects, while Germany, ostensibly a Christian coun try, was making no endeavors to pre vent it. To him Enver scarcely con cealed the official purpose. Dr. Lepslus was simply staggered by his frankness. for Enver told him in bo many words that they at last had an opportunity to rid themselves of the Armenians and proposed to use it. By this time Envtr naa Decome more frank with me the circumstantial re porta which I possessed made it use less for him. to attempt to conceal tne truo situation further and we had many long and animated discussions on the subject.. One. of these 1 recall with particular vividness. 1 notified Enver that I intended to take up the matter n detail and he laid aside enough time to go over the whole situation. Armenians Warnea, Says Eaver. The Armenians had a fair warning, Enver began, "of what would happen to then in case they joined our ene mies. Three months ago I sent for the Armenian Patriarch and I told him that if the Armenians attempted to .start a revolution or to assist the Rus sians, I would be unable to prevent. mischief from happening to them. My warning produced no effect and the Ar menians started a revolution ana helped the Russians. 'r-You know what happened at .Van. We knew that they were planninguprisings in other places. You must understand that we are now fighting ,' lor . our ' lives art "the Dardanelles and.thatSwe are sacrificing thousands of men. While we are en gaged in isuch a struggle as this, we cannot permit veoplo in our own coun try to attack us in tho back. We have got to prevent- this no matter what means we have to resort to. .Outalae Help Deplored. 'Russia. France, Great Britain and America are doing the Armenians no kindness by sympathizing with and en couraging means to a people who are inclined to revolution. I am sure that if these outside countries did not en courage them, they would give up all their efforts to oppose the present gov ernment and become law-abiding cit izens. We now have this country in our absolute control and we can easily revengo ourselves on any revolution ists." After all." I said, "suppose what you say Is true, why not punisBTine guilty? Why sacrifice a whole race for the alleged crimes of Individuals?" "Your point is all right during peace times." replied Enver. "We can then use Platonic means to quiet Armenians and Greeks1, but in time of war we cannot investigate and negotiate. We must act promptly and with determina tion. There are about 70,000 Armenians in - Constantinople and they will not be molested except those who are Dashnaguists and those who are plot ting against the Turks. However, I think you can ease your mind on the whole subject, as there will be no more massacres of Armenians." Massacres Meaatlnse Go Oa. I"8id not take seriously Enver's con cluding statement. At the time that he was speaking, massacres and depor tations were taking place all over the; Armenian provinces and they went on almost without interruption for several months. As soon as the reports reached the United States the question of relief became a pressing one. In the latter part of July I heard tha' there .were 5000 Armenians from Zeitoun and Sul tanle who were receiving no food whatever. I spoke about them to En ver, who positively declared that they would receive proper food. He did not receive favorably any suggestion that American representatives should go to that part of the country and assist and care for the exiles. . 'For any American to do this." he said, "would encourage all Armenians and make further troubles. There are about 28,000,000 people in Turkey and 1,000,000 Armenians, and we do not propose to have l.OOO.OOd disturb the peace of the rest of the population. The great trouble with the Armenians is that they are separatisms. They are determined to have a ktr.-dpm of their own." Too Mara Sympathy Alleged. Enver always resented any sugges tion that American missionaries o- other friends of the Armenians ahould go' to lielp or comfort them. ."They show altogether too much sympathy for them," he said over and over again. "But you are ruining the country economically, I said at another time, making the same point that I had made to Talaat. And he answered it in al most the same words, thus showing that the subject had been completely canvassed by the ruling powers. Economic considerations are of no importance at (his time. The only im portant thing ia to win. That's the only thing we have on our mind. If we win. everything will be all right; if we lose, everything will be all' wrong anyhow. Our situation is desperate, I admit it. and we are fighting as 4les- fierate men fight. We are not going to et the Armenians attack us in the rear." The question of relief to the 'starving Armeniana became evry week a more pressing one but Enver still insisted that Americans should keep away from the Armenia nprovinces. - Turks Could Use V.,S. Money. How can we furnish bread to the Armenians," Enver declared, "when we can't get it for our own people? I know that they are suffering and that it is quite likely that they cannot get bread at all this coming Winter. But we have tha utmost difficulty in get- ng flour anu clothing right here in Constantinople." I said that I had the money and that American missionaries were anxious to go and use it for the benefit of the refugees. We don't want the Americans to .feed the Armenians," he flatly replied. That is one of the worst things that could happen to them. I have already said that it is their belief that they have friends in other countries which leads them to oppose the government and so brings down upon them all tbiir miseries. If you will give such money as you haver received to the Turks, shall see that it is used for the benefit of tho Armenians." Turk Nerve Is Amaslng. fcnver made this proposal with a straight face, and he made it not only on thia occasion but on several others. At the very moment that Enver sug gested this mechanism of relief, the Turkish gendarmes-' and the Turkish officials Hvere not only robbing the Ar menians of al.J their household poFses sions, of' all 'heir food and all their money, but tey were even stripping womejr of their last shreds of clothing and prodding their naked bodies with bayonets as they staggered across the burning desert. And the Minister of War now proposed that we give our American money to these' same -guardians of the law for distribution among their charges! However, 1 had to be tactful. - . "If you or other heads of the Govern ment would become . ersonal'y respon slble for the distribution," I said, "of co -rse we would be glad to entrnst the money to you. But naturally you would not expect us to give this money to the men who have been killing the Ar menians and outraging their women.' nut inve- returned to his main point. Enver's Logic Maddening. "They must never know," he said "that they have a friend In the United States. That would absolutely ruin them! It is far better that they starve. and in saying this I am really think ing of the welfare of tho Armeniana themselves. If they can only be con vinced that they have no friends In other countries, then they will settle down, recognize th:.t Turkey is their only refuge and become quiet citizens. Tou.r country is doing them no kind ness by constantly showing your sym pathy. You are merely drawing upon mem greater hardships. ' In other words, the more money which the Americans sent to feed the Armenians, the more Armenians Turkey mienaea to massacre: unver s logic was fairly maddening: yet he did relent at the end and permit me to help the sufferers through certain missionaries. (To Be Continued.) ilERICIS CAPTURE 2 STRATEGIC POINTS Bois de Rappes and Hill 299 Wrested From Teutons. HUNS QUICKLY OVERCOME Artillery Activity in Mouse Sector of - Front Increases as Germans Fight Desperately. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct. 21, 9 P. M. (By the Associated Press) The American attack, though on a comparatively- small scale today, was en tirely successful. The Bois de Rappes and a formidable hill. No. 299, both points of strategic lmportande on the western end of the line, were rushed and cleared of the enemy within three hours, despite unusual machine-gun opposition. . Tha artillery on both aides was faii'ly active throughout the day, and the aviators were up from early until late, but the infantry action was con fined to two local pperatlons. Machine Guns Used on Yaakn. Tho advance on tha Bois de Rsppes began Just before noon. The wood was infested with machine guns, which were not entirely eliminated by the brief preparatory shelling. Despite every effort of tha Germans, however, the Americans steadily forced their way ahead, driving the enemy before them, and at 3 o clock in the aften- noon were in complete possession of the wood. ' Hill No. 299 fell almost simultaneous ly with the Bois de Rappes, which outflanked it. The Germans conse quently retired hastily from the height when it appeared that the Americans had been successful in forcing, their passage through the wood. But ISO Germans were taken ppisoner. Another minor success for the Amer icana was the expulsion of the enemy from his last positions in Banthe ville wood. He had hung onto the northern edges of this machine gun stronghold, from which it was possible to direct a harassing enfilading fire. ' Air Forces Are Active. There was considerable enemy troop movement today on both sides of the Meuse. Although the day was cloudy there also was much aerial activity. it is tne purpose ol tne uerman com mand to dispute every foot of the American advance on the line west of the Meuse and to inflict the heaviest ossible losses, German prisoners cap tured Sunday declared. They added that the Americans, in taking over -this sector, would-find more formidable op position than any place else on the front. A strong German defense was necessary on this sector, they said, while the German lines northward were being readjusted. BRITISH BAR COMPROMISE (Continued From First Pare.) CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CALOMEL AND CASTOR OIL Give Fruit Laxatire When Cross, Bilious, Feverish or Constipated. ' "California Syrup of Figs" Can't Harm Tender Stomach, Liver, Bowels. Look back at your childhood days. Remember the "dose" mother insisted on castor oil. calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children ' it's different. Mothers who cling to the old form of physic simply don't realise what they so. The children's revolt is well founded. Their tender little "ins ides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its actiun la positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it: that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a, teaspoonful given today savea a aick child tomor row.

Vern Owens, wife of ex-Officer Yern Owens, of the Portland police de partment, residing at 810 East Thirtieth street, shot her husband with a 32 callber revolver shortly after he had arrived home from work. The bullet entered Owens' left hand and came out above the wrist. Owena told the police that he was smoking his pipe at the time and that as he raised his hand she fired. In spector Craddock and Motorcycle Offi cers Norene and Scott were detailed on the case. Neighbors sent in a report to police headquarters that a shot had been fired in the house and the police rushed to the scene. When the officers arrived Mrs. Owens and another woman, named Nellie Dean were in a semi-intoxicated, condition, they said. Owens at first said that he was shot when he tried to take the gun away' from his wife. Several bottles of liquor were confiscated by the police. Owens has been employed in the shipyards since he left the police force. . Mrs. Owens was locked up in the city jail .charged with assault with a dan, gerous weapon.'

LLOYD GEORGE IS THANKED Credit for Union of Military Control - Given British Leader by Foch. NEW YORK, Oct. 21. Marshal Foch, generalissimo of the allied armies, re plying to the felicitations of David Lloyd George on his 67th birthday on October ' 2, gave the British Premier credit for placing him In supreme com mand, according to the text of tele grams made public here today by the British Bureau of Information. The message from Lloyd George read: "Please accept my sincere congratu lations on your birthday. I feel a par ticular pleasure in addressing you at the moment when the allied armies under your . direction are making so formidable a change in the military sit uation. I do., not know whether I should the more admire your marvelous skill as a wommander or your indom itable courage and the unquenchable faith in victory which you have shown in the course of this war." Marshal Foch replied : "I am greatly touched by your con gratulationa and thank you sincerely. I do not forget that it ia to vour as sistance that I owe the position which I occupy today. The sure sign of the glorious days awaiting our armies is to be found in the (perfect unity which exists now between all the allied forces." BARGAIN SALES UNDER BAN Illinois Takes Precautions as Influ enza Continues to Spread. CHICAGO, Oct. 21. Bargain sales of all descriptions that draw people to gether and tend to,, produce crowding were prohibited throughout Illinois to day as the influenza epidemic con tinued to, spread. Conditions downstate, tho director said, continued serious. armistice as an outrage on German honor and as a means of rallying the German nation for desperate resistance, or it" may simply be trying to put the President into' the position of trustee for the German people, which will have been thrown, upon his mercy. Reform Statement Scoffed. "The least satisfactory feature of the reply is the shameless prevarication with regard to German outrages on land and sea, and the suggestion that this be dealt with by a neutral commission Is a mere subterfuge. - xne arguments empioyea to prove that a reform of the German constitu tlon has been accepted are unworthy of serious consideration. "The President, who dealt so firmly and shrewdly with the previous German attempt to entangle him in wordy dis cussions, may be trusted to compel th German government to show whether it really intends unconditional surren der, which alone can satisfy the de inands of the military and naval author ities of the allies; or whether it simply Is playing for time." , 'Pacifist Advises Caution. The Marquis of Lansdowne, leader of the opposition in the House of Lords, and noted for his pacifist tendencies, considers that the German reply leaves the door open for a continuation of the discussion, although some passages in it. In his opinion, need elucidation. While regarding the situation on the whole aa hopeful, hia view waa that "we must proceed warily, leaving nothing to chance. ' -- Wo must trust President Wilson to avoid pittalls." he added. "Above all it is necessary that we make no conces sions impairing the strength and pre dominant military position seenred for us by the splendid valor of our naval and military forces. The passage about the armistice seems suspiciously obscure, while no body is likely to accept the plea that land and sea outrages can be justified or extenuated by the necessities or war." Lord Lansdowne agreed with the re cently expressed opinion of Viscount Milner, Secretary of W ar, that there is in progress in Germany a complete transformation In government which should not be hurried, and that any at tempt to impose upon the German peo ple rulers not of their, choice might lead to a situation where Germany would find itself without a government. Reply Held Complex. Viscount Haldane, ex-Secretary for War. expressing his views on Ger many's reply to President Wil son, said that he thought Germany had conceded what President Wilson required, but In an indirect and com plex manner. The formulation of peace conditions, he believed, would prove a formidable business. In the situation created by the re cent German peace offer,. British labor ranges itself solidly behind President Wilson, declared Arthur Henderson, the British labor leader, in- a speech at a labor meeting Saturday nignt. Labor men should continue to sup port President Wilson because his peace programme embodied the war aims of organized labor, he declared.
