ARMENIA C
TO ALASKANS
FOR RELIEF
* ___________
To rescue from the throes of star
vation and unsheltered misery 209 of
Western Asia’s Christian orphans—
children of some of America’s bravest
allies of the great war—is the mission
upon which the territory of Alaska has
started under the leadership of Rev.
David Waggoner, of Juneau.
Announcement of Mr. Waggoner’s
appointment as Territorial Chairman
for the Near East drive now under
way throughout Alaska and of the
share each section of Alaska is to
have in this life saving campaign is
made in advices reaching Juneau
from E. A. Potter, executive secretary
for the relief organization with his
headquarters in Spokane, Wash. Mr.
Potter recently completed a tour of Al
aska in preparing for the campaign.
Mr. Waggoner will conduct the drive
throughout Alaska to raise $12,540 in
relief funds.
“Alaska’s charity is called upon for
a year’s care for 209 ragged, hungry
little fellows who have had nothing
but flight from war and massacre and
death-haunted want for the last five
years,” says Secretary Potter in an
nouncing the official list of quotas.
“Political chaos still grips their land
of war-emptied granaries and massa
cre-blighted homes. The slayers of
their martyred loved ones, whose
bleaching bones litter the desert
wastes for mile upon mile as hideous
tokens of sacrifice for Christian faith,
still menace their every homeward
move, -and they face another biting
winter with neither food nor shelter—
not even rags to cloth their quaking,
hungry- gaunted little bodies.
“Just a new lease on life; a meager
provision for the cold month’s ahead,
and a chance to grow up to strong
manhood and womanhood—fit citizens
for the world, worshiping in peace the
God for whom their parents gave their
lives to fanatical fiends of a barbar
ous belief, is all they ask. Certainly
Alaska will give them that much.
It costs only $5 a month—$60 a year
—to tide them through their terrible
ordeal and give them that chance. It
will give them the comforts of one
of the Near East orphanages and save
their lives.”
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Five foreign countries
come within the “credit requirement”
of section 222 of the revenue act of
1918 which will permit their nationals
to be credited with the amount of in
come tax paid to their own govern
ments in the computation of American
income tax, the treasury department
has just announced.
These countries are Bulgaria, Cana
da, Italy, Newfoundland and Salvador.
The “requirement” is simply that such
countries shall credit Americans resi
dent there with the amount of income
taxes they have paid to the United
States government.

SINKS AGAIN
NEW BEDFORD, Sept. 28 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The cruiser Yankee,
which was wrecked on Hen and Chick
en reef in Buzzard’s bay 12 years ago
and which sank and was refloated
only to go down again after drifting
a few miles, has finally been lost to
the navy. Wreckers who have been
trying for several years to remove the
hulk of the sunken cruiser as a menace
to navigation have blown it up, and
timbers of the old Yankee are scat
tered on the floor of the bay.
The Yankee, which was formerly the
coastwise passenger steamer El Sud,
was in the transport service during the
Spanish-American war and was contin
ued on the naval rolls afterward as a
cruiser. She went aground on Hen
and Chicken reef during a thick fog
on the night of September 23, 1908,
and slipped off into deep water.
The navy’s attempt to float her
made under the direction of Naval
constructor Washington L. Caps, then
failed, and private bids were called
for. As a result, the first notable use
of compressed air for marine salvage
in this country was made by John
Arbuckle, of New York, a sugar re
finer. He bought Peary’s Arctic ship
Roosevelt and made her the head
quarters of his operations. After
three month’s work with the com
pressed air method the Yankee was
raised and started in tow for this port.
She ran into a storm during the
night, heavy seas thumped her weak
ened frame and one of the air ports
broke. The Yankee went down again
off Dumpling Light and. although the
Arbuckle wreckers renewed their ef
forts, and other salvage outfits did
their best to bring her to the top, she
stayed there 10 years before she was
blown to pieces.

BERLIN MOTOR
FIRM ACCUSED
OF GRAFTING
BERLIN, Sept. 28 (by Associated
Press).—A special commission appoint
ed by the former ministry of war to
audit the books of the Daimler Motor
Works has issued a report which
charges the firm with concealing pro
fits exceeding 9tCoOO,000 marks.
It is stated that the annual balance
sheets of the firm during the four
years of war production failed to in
clude more than 81,000,000 marks prof
it, which is more than tenfold the en
tire amout of its capital.
The report states that on the eve
of Germany’s big offensive in 1918 the
Daimler company which was one of
the country’s chief suppliers of war
materials threatened to shut down its
plant unless the ministry of war
awarded it a libefral prize in
commission, reports Captain Gross
who was supposed to supervise the
creases. The plant was then placed
under military supervision and its dir
ector removed from office but, the
military controy, was elected into the
company’s directorate and entrusted
with the management of the plant.
