COLONIAL DAYS
ADVICE IS GIVEN
TO ARMENIANS
) --
Just to make certain that America’s
benevelence shall not have a pauper
izing effect upon the oppressed people
over the sea, whom she has been
called upon to aid with their problems
of pacification and reconstruction,
plentiful doses of the efficacious med
icine prescribed by Captain John
Smith during America’s Coloniol
childhood is today being administered
to the Armenians by the Near East
relief committee.
Paraphrasing the famous injunction
of the industrious captain, “He who
will not work, shall not eat,’’ which
brought the dawdling, irresolute New
England immigrants into reluctant ac
tivity, the Near East relief organ1'/
tion has adopted the motto of, “The
more you work, the more you eat,’’
in its work among the refugees of
the Caucasus.
“It is in this way that all the Ar
menians who are able to work are
^encouraged to help themselves instead
of being content to subsist upon the
scant food supplies purchased with the
funds raised in the American relief
‘.campaign, just drawing to a close, ac
cording to word brought back by Dr.
Sherman L. Divine of Spokane, chair
man for the Near East relief organ
ization in the Intermountain district
comprising Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, Utah and Alaska. Dr. Divine
has just returned from a visit to his
organization’s headquarters in New
York.
“Tbnsp wtin have" p-ivpn fjinUs fnr
relief in the near east need have no
fear that their charitable efforts are
going to make professional beggars
out of the Armenians and other ref
ugee peoples,” said Craiman Divine.
“To guard against such a reaction, and
at the same time to make our funds
—all too limited at best—do the most
good possible, we are requiring the
near east refugees to do all they can
to solve their own problems.
“Bakeries are being established
wherever possible to distribute bread
instead of flour, and refugee bakers
are being drafted into service and or
ganized into three shifts. The local
inhabitants who can afford it, and the
American relief workers pay for their
bread; the others get it free.
“The most important reason for our
•distribution of bread instead of flour
was to curb the waste. Cooking uten
sils in Transcaucia are rarer and more
precious than jewelry. Baking bread
on a piece of sheet iron propped up
on two stones proved not only waste
ful, but the product was far from
nourishing, especially for children
whose digestions has suffered a life
time's damage already during the
flight from Turkey.
“The food situation is so desperate
throughout the Caucasus generally
not only in Armenia but Georgia as
well, that some of the relief flour
trains have been derailed and robbed,
and frequent raids have been made
» . on the central warehouses at Tiflis
and Alexandropol.”
PARIS, Aug. 31 (by Associated
Press).—New ideas for economizing
coal and other fuel are sought by the
authorities and 100,000 francs in priz
es have been offered by the Seine
department for ideas and inventions
this fall.
Under the provisions of the Spa
conference agreement. France will
have, from all sources, slightly less
than 80 per cent of her needs in coal
and now, in the sultry heat of sum
mer, the people are beginning to wor
ry about the shivers of the coming
winter.

FRENCH PLAN
TO ELECTRIFY
PARIS, Aug. 31 (by Associated
Press).—Electrification of the Paris
suburban railroad service, planned in
1910 and interrupted by the war, is
becoming a fact on the state lines
and the program is expected to be
completed in two years.
Electric power stations have been
erected at several points and wires
have been strung on a considerable
part of the lines but the electric lo
comotives and other equipment are
not yet ready.
The nearby stations, at first, will
be served by the electric trains and
the more distant points by the pres
ent steam system. The electrifica
tion is counted upon to relieve the
bad congestion on all suburban lines.
COUNTMUNSTER IS_
OUSTED FROM OFFICE
BERLIN, Aug. 31 (by Associated
Press).—Count Munster, who was
first equerry to the former king of
Saxony and since has held an im
portant position in the republican
ministry for agriculture, has been
summarily dismissed. _
The explanation given on behalf of
the government for his dismissal is
that the count had said in public
that Herr Schwartz, his chief, the
present minister of agriculture, for
merly a metal turner, “didn’t know
anything about agrculture,” only in
less respectful terms.
