ASK GERMANY TO STOP FLOOD OF ARMENIA BLOOD
Turks Kill All Christians Despite Pledges in Peace Treaty. LONDON. April 15. Russia has followed the protest to Germany against the Turkish operations in the Caucasus, which have resulted In wholesale murders of the Armenian population, by forwarding a similar protest by the Armenian national council, addressed to the German ministry of foreign affairs and the president of Reichstag. This protest, received from the Russian wireless system and given out by ihe Britlsa admiralty through the vireless press, reads:
"The Armenian national council, as the supreme body for the expression of the will of the Armenian people, is addressing you in connection with the tragic state of things in Armenia. Armenia la flooded with blood and anly recently saved from centuries of slavery, is again condemned to fresh sufferings. Following upon the withdrawal of the Russian troops, Turkish troops already have Invaded the undefended country and are not only killing every Turkish-Armenian, but also every Russian in Aramenla. Killing All Christians. "In spite of the terms of the peace treaty, which recognizes the right of self-determination for these Caucasian regions, the Turkish army i9 advancing toward Kars and Ardahan, destroying the country and killing the Christian population. "The responsibility for the future destinv of the Armenians lies entirely with Germany, because it was Germanvs insistence that resulted in the withdrawal of the Russian troops from the Armenian regions, and at the moment it rests with Germany to prevent the habiltual excesses of the Turkish troops, increased by the revengefulness and anger. Urge Germany to Act. "It is nard to believe that a civilized state like Germany, which has te means for preventing the excesses of her ally, will permit the Brest-Litovsk treaty to be used by the German people, who have been involved in war against their own will, as a means for the creation of Incalculable sufferings. "The national council firmly believes that you will undertake the necessary measures, which depend solely upon you, to influence the Turkish authorities with a view to saving the Armenian people from fresh horrors."

A' CONVERSATION Between Mr. Doubtful and Mr., Right
Mr, Doubtful: "I don't see how I can buy any more Liberty Bonds. I bought all I could last fall. I'm not a rich man and I don't think it's fair or just to expect me to do anything more than I have done." Mr. Right: "Let's see your nextdoor neighbor's boy enlisted, didn't he?" Mr. Doubtful: "Yes,, he's over in France now. Mighty fine, stalwart boy, that!" Mr. Right: "Exactly, and some day that splendid boy, the pride of his parents' hearts, may go 'over the top in a gallant charge, stop a German bullet, and fall in the mud and debris of No Man's Land. Isn't that asking too much of him, and of his family? Is that 'fair?' Is that 'just?'" Mr. Doubtful: "Why, it's awful, of course, but it can't be helped. This isWar, and men have to be killed in it."
,Mr. Right; "You've said it this is war! To win the war it might be necessary for the government to take your factory away from you, and ruin your business. It might be necessary to take your house and turn you out in the street. What of that? Is that as great a sacrifice as your neighbor makes, or stands ready to make, when he gives his boy to his country? Yet you don't think it's your duty to pinch and save, and borrow if need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds, and thus help shorten the war, make victory certain, and save the lives of thousands of American boys who will Otherwise be uselessly sacrificed. Mr. Doubtful: "I guess that's true, Mr. Right, I have been thoughtless. I'll stop complaining and criticising, and put up my last dollar if need be, to help win this war."
