Rehabilitation of Armenians in Asia Minor But Not in Caucasus Word has been received by the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief that thz instigators of an attempted massacre. of Ar- menians in Aleppo, Syria, in the early winter have been executed by the British military authorities after a trial, and that this application of British justice has had a wholesome moral effect on the Turks. In one place, Aintab, the Turkish authorities have surrendered the rifles in their possession. The cablegram tells also of the work of rehabilitation and repatria- tion of the Armenians in the terri- tory abeut Aleppo, which, since the armistice, has been greatly congested by the return of thousands of refugees deported to the Arabian desert by the Turks in 1915. There are 80,000 Armenian refugees in the area about Aleppo, according Io the message, which is signed by James L. Barton, the chairman De "the American committee for Ar- menian and Syrian relief, and by Major Stephen Trowbridge, in charge of the relief work in the Aleppo dist- rict. Of this number of refugees, it is estimated that 6,000 are Christian girls kept in Moslem houses. The message says that the British authorities were about to rescue these girls, and that the committee's relief workers were busy preparing shelter, bedding and employment for their reception. During the month of April 260 Christian girls were rescu- ed from Turkish harems in the one town of Aintab. They were given The faces of many of the rescued girls are tattoed with Moslem marks to show that they were Moslem prop- erty. Some of the girls, in their shame, have attempted to eradicate these tatto marks with corrosives. Within a fortnight, the message says, 4,000 refugees had been re- patriated in towns westward and | northward of Aleppo. About 3,000] were due to arrive from: Damascus, 1,200 were.in Deirzow. awaiting safe conduct, and 150 were arriving daily from Kara. The establishment of orphanages in that territory to take care of the children whose parents were massac- red by the Turks is proceeding ra- pidly, thes mesage indicates. Four orphanages have been established in Aintab, six in Marash, it says; 600 orphans cared for in Urfa, 1,800 in Aleppon orphanage. Opening new boys' orphanage on 10th. Relief work | also is organized in Mardin, which is] farther in the interior. Industrial work has taken in the Armenian the Antioch region and silk produc- | tion recommended by the distribution | of 100 boxes of silkworm eggs to 300 | families recently repatriated. In the] towns of Aintab and Marash the Ar-| menians who have money have cone tributed to the loan fund inauguratedy by Dr. Bartgn for the purpose of en- abling returning refugees to buy in- dustrial tools, materials, seed, wh eee. and animals for farms. \ Preparations are being made fog the rebuilding of a large number of houses destroy ed bygdhe Turks. Pm- ployment will be t for many men in quarries which d%e to been under-| villages of | started near the cities, fram™eglic stone will be obtainedffor«the hous- l es. Other men wil sent into the forests in the mofintains to cut the necessary timber. The message adds that the Ger- man hospital in Marash has been taken over by the American commit- tee for Armenian and Syrian relief, and that hospitals in Aintab and Aleppo ar: being prepared for the installation of units sent out by the committee. Other hospitals have been established in other towns. "THRIFT WEEK" IS FROM JUNE 22-28 Sunday, June 22, Is Designated As National "Thrift Sunday;" Pastors To Preach On Saving "Thrift Week" in Illinois, during which 4,000,000 household budgets, thrift pamphlets, pledge cards and buttons will be distributed, will be inaugurated with "Thrift Sunday," June 22. This date has been set by the Savings Division of the Treasury Department and it fits well with "Thrift Week" of the Illinois organ- ization, which begins June 23. Churches of every denomination will lend their aid to the national Thrift Campaign. Pastors has prom- ised to lay before their people on Thrift Sunday the personal and pa- triotic reasons for perpetuating the lessons of sane saving, wise spending, and safe investment, which the Am- erican people learnasd through the] seli- sacrifice imposed by the war. tach congregation will receive a! Hreet message from Secretary G lass | of the Treasury Department, to be| read from the pulpit, setting forth | the reasons why the government is fostering the spirit of thrift as a permanent American characteristic. | Pastors have been askzd to devote | at least a part of their sermons on | Thrift Sunday to the subject of sav-| ing. A letter to the pasion of all | denominations, sent by Harold Brad- | dock, Director of the Savings Div- ision, is in part as follows: "We are hoping you will be able to} assist the local savings dirzctor on the Savings Campaign in his com- | munity, and that you will impress upon the members of the organiza- tions connected with your church the desirability of careful saving for some worthy object... It would seem 'that, in the organizations which are desirous for saving for this purpose, it would bz to their interest to be enrolled as Government Savings so- cieties. The Savings and Thrift Stamp securities offered by the gov- ernment are so safe and so accessible to the investor of such small amounts that we feel that they should be well adapted to the needs of any such organizations. We also feel that if the members of these organizations begin investing their savings in Government securities it will aid the members to feel that they have a more direct stake and interest in their Government, and make them more active and intelligent citizens. "We are counting on your assist- ance in this great movement for peacetime patriotism." To Direct Thrift Study The Savings Division of the Treas- ury Department has announced the appointment of Dr. J. Stanley Brown of Joliet, Illinois, to take charge of the national campaign for thrift in the schools . of the country. Dr. Brown is a member of the council of the National Education association, and for years has been identified with national education activties. Dr. Brown will work through the constituted school authorities, seek- ing to have the study of thrift, so far as possible, made a component part of the curriculum.

With the wheels aos ing at such a pace it is impossible to get any traction, even if straw or twigs are placed bzneath the treads and tire chains will be slipped around idly. Tha effect is usually to dig a deep hole and increase the difficulty. "The correct way is to pack cloth or twigs beneath the wheels, use low gear and only speed the mot8r suffi- giently to take the clutch without stalling. Above all things, don't race the engine.
