Ily Viscount llryce, (Former British Ambassador to the United States.) LONDON, March 8. The slaufih tcr of between seven and eight hun dred thousand Armenians by the Turks since the beginning ot the war reveals the Armenians quito as much martyrs to Christianity as any of the early Christians who died In Nero's arena. There are today more than a mill ion Armenians and Syrians starving to death In Asia Minor, Syria, the Hussion Caucasus. Persia and Pales tine. The relief work for them in America is in charge of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian He! let, in New. York. In the history of the early Chris tion church there are no figures so slorious, none which have continued to be so much honored by the church all through its later days as those of the martyrs, men and women who from the time of Nero down to that of Dioclestian sealed with their blood the testimony of their faith with standing every lure and every threat in order to preserve to their faith loyalty to their Lord and Master Christ. - In our own times we have seen this example ot fidelity repeated in the Turkish Empire and it is strange that the Christians of Europe and America should not have been more moved by tbe examples of courage and heroic devotion which the Ar menian Christians have giveu. Of the seven or eight hundred thousand ot Armenians who have perished in the recent massacres many thous ands have died as martyrs by which I mean they have died for their Christian faith when they could have saved their lives by renouncing it. This has perhaps not been realized even by those who in Europe and America have read of and been hor rified by the wholesale slaughter and hideous cruelties by which half ot an ancient nation has been exterm inated. They can hardly understand how there should be religious perse cutions in our time; so let me try to explain the facts. It was not religious fanaticism that led the present rulers of Turkey to seek to root out Christianity. So tar from being fanatics most of these men though nominally Mohammed ans have no religion whatever. Their j aim was political. They wanted to make the whole Turkish Empire Mohammedan, in order to make it uniform with only one creed and no differences between one class of sub jects and another. They saw that the Christian part of the population suffering under constant oppressions and cruelties, continued to turn its eyes westward and hope for some redress from the Christian nations; Bo they determined to eliminate this Christianity altogether. During these recent massacres, whenever any Christian would turn Mohammedan his life would be spar ed. It was only as a Christian that he was killed. Many a Christian child was torn from its parents to be brought up as a Mussulman. Many thousand Armenian Christian girls were sold in the market or distrib uted among Turkish officers to be imprisoned for life in Turkish har ems and there forced into Moham medanism. But many more thous ands ot Armenians, women as well as men, were offered their choice be tween Christ and Mohammed, and when they refused Mohammed were Bhot or drowned forthwith. For days and days together the bodies of Christian women who had thus per ished were seen floating down the Euphrates. Surely the remains of this suffer ing nation could make no stronger C. S.

TERREBONNE FARM ERS IN ASSOCIATION Last Monday afternoon the farm ers of the Tqrrebonne section invited County Agent R. A. Blancbard to assist them in organizing a National Farm Loan Association. Over 30 men came to the usual meeting hall at Terrebonne and after considering the benefits and object of the Federal Farm Loan Act, the following board of directors was elected: W. F. Mackey, J. J. Ellinger, C. G. Cor nelius, L. P. Snapp and B. E. Nich ols. The board then elected YV. F. Mackey as president, B. E. Nichols vice president, and C. A. Douglass for secretary-treasurer. A loan com mittee of H. Gates, C. G. Cornelius and L. P. Snapp was then chosen to perform their work as prescribed by law. The organization as yet is tem porary and after the final blanks are received the association will be per fected. Some question was raised on the legality of the association and the possibility of obtaining loans on the land under the Beveral contracts held by the farmers in which the state holds a first lien. The county agri culturalist presented several letters and correspondence from Secretary W. W. Flannlgan of the Federal Farm Loan Board, which Indicated that so far as the law read it would be impossible to loan on land which could not provide a first mortgage, hut should the situation become acute over a large territory, Congress prob ably might be prevailed on to make arrangements for relieving this sit uation.

Ry United Praia to the Bend Bulletin) CHICAGO, Murch 8. The Juve nile Protective association ot Chicago is fathering a bill In tho legislature, prohibiting the sulo ot ' liquor In dance halls, and providing a penalty of $200 for violation. Charging that tho majority of the dance halls are operated primarily for the salo of liquor, and in many eases are actually owned or con trolled ' by liquor interests, the as sociation's committee report shows that police have no conception of their duty at dance halls; many po licemen are found drinking; fights are common; indecent dancing pre vails after about 11 o'clock, although until they become Intoxicated, tho dancers are usually orderly; minors and often small children are permit ted to become Intoxicated, while par ents laugh at their drunken antics. At one dance, given by a church. as a benefit affair, many little chil dren were found "outragoously In toxicated," according to Mrs. How- en's report, and Intoxicated women threatened to mob a policeman who closed a gambling device being op erated there. "Men and women become Intoxi cated," says the report, "and dance indecently, such dances as 'Walking the Dog,' "On the Puppy's Tall,' 'The Stationary Wiggle' and 'The Dip.' "At least 205 of the 213 hulls In vestigated, . liquor was sold, and at ij oi mese minors were present.
