ERROR BY SCORER CAUSES TIE COUNT IN LIBERTY GAME

LIBERTY, Ind., Dec. 18. The fastest basketball game that has been played on the local gymnasium floor this year was played Saturday night, when Liberty met the Xenia high school boys. The game from the very start was fast and well played, although very riugh in places. Liberty was not up to form in the first part of the first half, owing to the fact that two new men were being tried out. After the regular team was put in, the game went "well. At the end of the first" half, the score was a tie. All through the second half, which was unusually rough, the score ran evenly Liberty making a basket and then Xenia. At the end of the game, it was thought that the score was 28 to 26 in favor of Xenia, but after the game, and the official Ecore book was consulted, it was found that one basket had been made by a Liberty player that was scored in the Xenia book but which the Liberty score keeper had failed to note. This brought the result to a tie of 28 to 28.

ARMENIAN'S PLIGHT IS POWERFUL PLEA FOR FOREIGN HELP

WEATHER REGULATES CART DRIVERS' JOBS

Ash cart drivers have well regulated jobs, according to one in the downtown district. In the summer they can depend on the lack of work to keep cool and In the winter on the rush to keep warm. "The colder it is, the more ashes we have to shovel and the warmer we . get,", he said. "In moderate weather there is a medium amount of ashes to be shoveled, so we neither get cold or overheated. The falling off in the summer when there are few fires, takes care of the warm weather. "In extremely cold weather, we can go inside to get warm while the wag

ons are on the way to the dump. We don't do that though, because business ; houses fail to get their ashes out on ; time and we have to use up our spare i

time in notifying them that the wagon is coming."

LONDON, Dec. 18. George F., Gracey, a member of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, who has helped to feed and clothe about 55,000 Armenians in their native land and again when they fled to the Caucasus to escape the wrath of the Turks, has just returned to London. "Most of this was possible only through, the generosity of the American people," declared Mr. Gracey, who is not an American but an Englishman and has been a member of the American committee for the last twelve years. Since the war broke out he has been directing the relief work for the Armenians from Tiflis. Armenia Needs Relief "Armenia has' replaced Belgium and Serbia as the most distressful country on the face of the globe," sand Mr. Gracey. "The Armenians have twice ben driven from their native land. "Those who were not massacred when the Turks invaded their country early in the war fled to the Caucasus. They returned when the Russians drove the Turks out of Armenia. They were forced to flee to the Caucasus again a few months ago when the Turks chased the Russians out of Mush and Bitlis, and for a time threatened the Czar's army at Van, on the

east side of the lake of that name. "When the Armenians were able to return to their country early this year they were without food, clothing or the means of making a living. The American committee came to the rescue by supplying some 30,000 with 2,700 head of cattle and a large quantity of agricultural implements. This work Of repatriating them ran along from May to August of this year. Turks Disrupt Nation ' "Just as they were getting on their feet again and starting out to face life anew along came the reinforced Turks. The Ottoman troops succeeded in taking Mush and Bitlis in the very heart of Armenia. Then they moved along the northern and , western shores of Lake Van with the object of encircling the- town of Van, which was the base of the Russian operations in that district. They did not get to Van but clung to the shores of the lake. That is the present military situation in that territory.
